Cutting cakes in half to increase yield?
    #6159330 - 10/11/06 06:05 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I was just reading the Sea of Shrooms article.......

Ok so I'm thinking of birthing BRF/Verm PF cakes, dunking/rolling them, then cutting them in half from the top to the bottom, and placing each half in the FC on a jar lid in the regular fashion to try and increase yield... It doesn't make as much sense as casing each half a cake, I know, but do you think it would do anything at all as far as making a difference goes?

I think "in theory" the difference is that you can get a potentially better pin set due to a "greater surface area".

However, if you have a huge pin set you will generally end up with smaller mushrooms. A small pin set means you will have bigger mushrooms. Thus your yields will be uneffected.

HOWEVER (and for what its worth)

A few years back I saw some guy do an experiment cutting cakes in half and keeping them as cakes and then comparing yields. He ended up consistantly getting higher yields from the cakes that were cut in half.

Poorly controlled experiment? Maybe. But maybe not!

If it were me I would say cut em up real good and a)spawn to some more sub. (easy) or b)case em with whatever you got.

naw, its a horse a piece. cutting them in half increases the yield for one flush, then the cakes exausted. Whole cakes will have less yield but flush more. It's the same differnce. whole cakes just look better and will support the wieght of the shroom, a half cake would just topple over if shrooms get too big. Swat i think anyway.
