was putting the monotub cake back in the tub after it was cleaned and it cracked in half. It didnt fall on the floor or anything it just split down the middle. is It going to be ok? Will the myco grow across the gaps and become a whole cake again? Its from an 18 gallon rubbermaid. Its substrate is 4 inches deep and its only going on its second flush. will the next yeild be worse because of this?

You mean it cracked into a TOP half and BOTTOM half?
I don't think it'd be a problem unless exposure left it contaminated.
I don't know if this would work or not, but if your worried, you might be able to put the two halves in the tub, face up and put some sort of casing material or damp verm over the exposed wound. *shrug*
See if any experienced harvesters agree with this before you try it though.

no...the cake is about 20"x16"x4" it broke directly in half. meaning 2 pieces that would measue 10"x 16"x4"....approx. I put the 2 halves back together as best and as tight as possible. so mmy question is that im wondering if the myco network will repair itself along the crack and both halves work together or do i now have to seprate monotub cakes.

agreed ^^^
this has happened to me before actually... i just re-cased it after dunking and stuck it back into the FC and it continued to flush successfully.
i wouldnt be too worried about it.

Hallucinogenist don't you think he meant cracked the other way ? lol to the OP- i highly doubt the myc will grow back. but like the other said it doesn't matter. both halves will fruit

Actually, I skimmed his original post. I just noticed "cake." When I see the term cake, I automatically imagine a PF Tek cake or something, not a cased-in fruiting body.
Just my misinterpretation of his post. ^_^
