Mini Bulk Cakes...
    #10559308 - 06/23/09 01:06 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

I made these. They don't seem to be fruiting well. There is 3 or 4 pins on the first 2 I put in there. This is the 2nd time I have tried uncased Bulk Cakes. 1st time was great. 2 cakes got me about 350g wet. 95-100%RH

They Are:
1Qt Rye, Coir, WormCastings, Verm. Spawned for 7 days and dropped in FC.

There is a LOT of knotting. Very Few pins have been there for 2 days now.

I can see quite a few knots on the second pic.  Should be seeing more pins soon.

Boosting the FAE will probably ease your woes.

oh i see now sry

but you still look normal thats how my cakes were they had a few pins which grew really big then a couple days later there were more pins just wait it out

also the might not be colonized in the middle which just makes you wait longer for pins itll happen dont worry bout it

i think it just needs more time. its probably just holding out on you to increase the suspense. i recently fruited some cakes and they did nothing for a full week and a half and then they just popped. they were pinning in the jar too. but still they just sat there teasing me.....:laugh:
then they kicked my brain all around my bedroom for 5 hours !:shocked:! (first time eating wet mushrooms. diddnt weigh the dose so i dont even know)

good luck. give them time. they look good to me.

I've done this a number of times and seem to have pretty inconsistent results compared to leaving the 'cakes' in the trays. It's helped greatly to roll the 'cakes' in verm just like you would a pf style cake and keep it wetted.

tripps4, those cakes don't look fully colonized.  Before removing the cakes from their containers you should wait until full colonization plus a few extra days for consolidation.  I make poo cakes that are nearly identical in shape & size, 7" x 5" x 3" and they are never ready to fruit at just 7 days into the spawn run.  Usually they stay in their containers for about 2 weeks and then I'll see pinning within a week.
But fruiting bulk bricks like that in a tub with perlite is a GREAT way to go.

I've had bad luck rolling them. I am most likely going to just do monotub in that tub next time.

wait a full week after consolidation still in colinising conditions and expose to lighting in that week, once put into fruiting conditions it should pin in a few days.

expectations lead to disappointment.
you should never expect to get a large and even pin set.
unless you are working with an isolate that you know performs to your liking.

here are some other, Older ones.

2 in the middle are @ 3rd Flush, Smallest flush yet.



This is the third flush from the one in the middle, on the left.



These 5 cakes and the other 4 were all made at the same time. The middle 2 were just fruited about 8 days sooner. Looks like I should have fruited them all at that time.. What do you think?

That is pretty hot, well we know that cubensis can fruit in higher temps now, ive heard that they will fruit upto 90F but never 110F.

Id also suggest improving FAE. I see no hole sin that tub so that means you must exchange the air complelty once per hour and thats a big spacew in the tub.

Id make that into a shotgun and you may see better results.
