I think the confusion is about whether you are going to a-case your cakes directly b-spawn to bulk, then case c-just spawn to bulk and fruit
If you do a little research with the search function on these topics, it will eliminate alot of your confusion.
Also, what kinda fruiting chamber are you planning on using?

A shotgun terrarium like that shown in the www.mushroomvideos.com videos, 5'' wet perlite, mist 6 times a day, etc.

I use about 1/4 used coffee grounds by volume. I don't use verm in the substrate- but you certainly could add some if you wanted to.
I sterilize the grounds in jars in my PC, then mix into coir prepared per package directions.
I don't usually case bulk tubs, simply because I've had bad luck with it. Best results so far- for me- have been with Miracle Gro Moisture Control soil for casing.

search Large_Doses "how I pasteurize coir" its linked in my sig.
its 1 brick coir, 1 quart verm, 1 quart used coffee, 1 pint gypsum(optional).
when I crumbled my cakes to that mix I used 10 cakes to spawn and it took 15 days to colonize.

I'm back, and after extensive thought and pretty countless research on many types to grow after the cakes produced, we decided to just finish off the PFTek way. I have 16 cakes inside my terrarium, with one double stacked, and decided to experiment and crumble 3 cakes. We started this on tuesday, 2 days ago roughly. I'm getting a little curious though as to when I should start to see pinning on the cakes? I've looked in guides and such, but they don't really say? Can anyone shed some light? Thanks guys! =D

From pin to harvest, about a week. Maybe less. Depends, really. They'll be ready when they are ready, don't rush them.

I mist right over pins.
It's basically desert where I live, I have humidity issues. So I'm pretty aggressive with the mist. Some folks say that it can cause aborts, but that hasn't really been my experience with it.

in my exp you can mist pins rather heavy and not cause aborts, its the amount of force/pressure the water hits them at. mist from a distance 4 heavier waterings.

So guys, I'm about 3 days into my cakes into my terrarium, and on one of the cakes I see a little blue tinge on the top of the cake? I read a little and it says it's bruising due to dehydration or handling? Is that true or is it contam? Help please?

If it is a "tinge" it is most likely bruising. A sporulating mold contamination will have a different texture than mushroom mycelium. Kind of sandy or grainy looking

Awesome thanks =)) I'm also showing small growth and have a few mushrooms on a z-strain cake and one of my PR's as well. Both still very small though =D

Q-tip tek.....or put up pics. Is your cake dry? remember that with cakes you can dunk before the first flush, unlike bulk subs which are dunked after the first flush. ~Pixie~

That's the kind of climate where it might pay off to have a humidifier running in the room where your terrarium is kept.
The teks and threads that instruct to not mist pins are outdated and wrong. Fanning should be done following any misting, in that order; I think some new readers here miss that. ~Pixie~
