Realistic yield of 1st time grow (B+)?
    #11723164 - 12/26/09 08:49 PM (15 years, 24 days ago)

Hello everyone, I had a question (as a newbie to cultivation) that I was hoping someone might address, that being "How much can I expect as a yield with my 1st time using the rice cake method with 4 rice cakes?" I have been watching a video hosted on google videos that details the whole growing process, but it doesn't talk about yield. From the looks of the video, there are maybe a handful of 1/8th's produced from 3 cakes. Would you suggest that I use rye instead to have a larger surface area (seemingly, as it appears that the rye seed method produced many more mushrooms)? Thank you, everyone. Here's a link to the google video I was referencing in my post:

Thank you, everyone

Yield is a tricky thing to figure out. From 4 cakes you could get anywhere from 12 - 28 g, give or take. It all depends on how you take care of them and genetics. You make get cakes that don't fruit, or fruit poorly. I would still recommend PF TEK for your first attempt, I'm using Wild bird seed now and it's a pain in the ass. I have some jars colonizing but other were too wet. I'm sure I'll get it right after a few more tries, though. :wink: Go straight to grains however if you're trying to grow in bulk.

Thanks for the reply :smile: I've been reading your thread on the B+ strain (in your signature) and it is interesting, to say the least. I wish that I had more thorough knowledge of botany/mycology and identification, or I would know if I've taken B+ in the past. All in all, if this run doesn't give me super potent mushrooms or a super yield, no big deal. I'm not in this for money, and I'm not in it to just get high. Thanks again~~

you can also keep harvesting your cakes. I read ea cake can have 3-5 flushes if you perform ea harvest carefully

if you get a 4 grams dry of a single cake, you should be content.

especially if it's your first grow.

yield is not realistically guessed since a quart of rye could be transferred to 20 more quarts, which could be spawned to an addition 10 gallons of substrate, which could yield many pounds of dry fruit.


just start a grow with a tek you feel comfortable with and see what you get. if that doesn't satisfy you, research more "bulk friendly" methods.

You should be able to get 6 grams dry from a single cake at least. so 24 grams from your 4 cakes.

24 grams is not realistic. from 4 cakes youll get about 15 grams dry. i have not read many good things about B+. and i dont like this video very much. green mold isnt penicillin. its trich. this is obviously a noob video since the second contam is labeled "unknown contam" also his fruiting chamber has no holes or anything and he doesnt mention fresh air exchange....go to youtube and look up RRs videos. ill look for a link. his video is one of the sponsor banners.

Sure is I get constantly around 10 dry grams minimum from single cakes. 15 dry grams from 4 cake is realllly bad thats only 4 grams dry per cake including all 3 flushes thats not good at all. If everything is done well and right you should be able to get 6 dry grams per cake

Of coarse I take the up most care of anything I grow. I do a standard PF cake with gypsum look at the link in my sig

Here a pic of mushrooms from 2 cakes single flush came to just under 19 dry grams



And heres another

gypsum is not standard at all. the stadard pf tek is 2 cups verm 1 cup brf and 1 cup water. the gypsum is a huge boost with mushies. do a side by side grow. clone a fruit with an lc. make 2 or 3 jars with the actual standard pf tek and ur version of pf tek and use the same lc to innoc the 4 or 6 jars. side by side test. pics, dates, weights. let us know what happens

Man I know thats the standard tek. When I wrote standard PF tek plus gypsum I was saying i am using the standard ingredients and ratios of the PF tek plus gypsum its kind of self explanatory. Why would I do all that work to just let you know that gypsum does help thats already a fact. I have done hundreds of cake with and without it


Quote:

Why would you tell me to look that up, I know the tek inside and out I have wrote out my own tek on it and improved it. I have been doing this for ALONG time. Im the last person that needs to look up that tek. I have done hundreds of cake with and without gypsum

:facepalm:

For a first grow, You should be happy with 4g a cake. If you get more then good for you but don't get your hopes up.

im currently trying the same idea as pf tek, but replacing brf with wild bird seed flour. i read it colonizes faster and is more nutes, i added a little coffee and may try again with some gypsum. have you tried that shea? any input on that?
