Future problem help!
    #12100790 -

So by this weekend I'll probably be casing some of my cakes or take them out to begin to fruit.  Next week ill Be out of town and my room mate will be with me. It may be about 2 days at max... Probably just a day. But I won't be home to fan or mist my casing or cakes. What should I do? If I waited another week to fruit my jars would that be bad? I'm hoping they will be complete by middle of next week.


Update: 12 1/2 pint jars. 4 98% colonized going to try and bulk case those. That gives me a couple days to let them colonize again. But the other 8 are at about 75% complete.  Hopefully they won't be complete when I leave i just see a future problem. What can I do?

Really I'm just asking if misting or fanning for a day mess my cakes up and if so what should I do...

Let em consolidate for a week after 100% colonization. So you should be good til you come back.

What about my cakes that are probably a 100% now? Would an additional week be bad for them?

No, let them sit for a week after they are 100 % then birth them.
If you birth at the first day of 100% colonization they will just sit in your FC and do very little for the first week.
Also just because the outside is 100 % dose not mean the middle is and if you crumble to bulk you may be looking for contams.

Okay well i just took a look at my cakes and they are 100% so ill start the consolidation Monday.  This should be perfect.  If I let them sit too long wont they rot?

What is consolidation for? just further lets the mycelium grow?

If they appear 100% for the first time today, Start the 1 week countdown now and birth next Friday.

I am a noob myself but from what I have read the consolidation period allows the Myc to fully colonise the substrate and become very aggressive. I may be wrong so a more expirenced member may want to chime in if that is the case.

My understanding of consolidation is that it is the phase in the mycelium's growth in which it consumes any remaining nutrients in the cake. Pinning will not be initiated until it has completely consolidated the substrate(when combined with other factors).


EDIT:but I am not a TC...so don't take my word as gospel.

Interesting piece of information there Osensei. Good information glad to know now.

Well there brings up my dilemma Buddah.  If I birth next Friday then I wont be home to mist and fan on the weekend. I think I'll be leaving Saturday morning and probably wont return till either Sunday morning or Saturday night. I wont be home to mist fan or give light...though the light I can work with just sit at the window.

Are you planning to dunk and roll ?

Also you should be OK with a 9 day consolidation as I had some Chilean cakes sit for 12 days not too long ago. They did fine after the dunk and roll. I had to wait till payday to buy a tub to make a SG FC.

I would recommend damions 50/50 for the bulk. It was noob friendly for me.
