Casing Flushes

Do you get more flushes with casings or cakes? How many flushes is one to get with the casings? I know you can get quite a few with a cake, just wondering if it were the same with the casings.

imoh the same. BUT I have found that cakes don't contam as quick as casings and therefore in general you might only get 2 flushes of a casing before it contams. BUT you will get a shit load more shrooms especially if your casing a bulk substrate.
I guess everyone has different experiences with this one, so you probably get lots of different answers.

mushrooms are produced until the nutrients are gone, (more nutrients=more shrooms)

Thanks! Im still debating, I dont have enough cakes to do BOTH. Would it be possible to let the cake flush once and THEN case it?

You could but it would be rather pointless. You'd be better off either casing it to begin with or letting it flush once and then using it to spawn a bulk substrate.

I used get 2 large flushes from a cake then they would only give me a few mushrooms on the 3rd flush....so I didn't bother after a 3rd flush cause all the nutrients would be used up by then. I always get way more mushrooms from casings....usually 3 good flushes....then the 4th flush would only have a few mushrooms. The problem with casing is that if you don't do it right you get contams.

Yes you could case after a 1st flush. In fact it might be smarter since alot of new growers get contams with their first casings. This way you would at least get some shrooms and a few prints from growing off cakes....before trying casings.
You would be better off using the cakes after the first flush in a bulk substrate....such as horse poo or straw....IMHO
