Cakes Or Grains for spawn?
    #13036774 - 08/11/10 02:07 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Im having a big issue with Rye grain and i can't seem to get ahold of any but as of right now i got about 20lbs of BRF and 15lbs of Verm I have many jars ready and set up for cakes??? I also have about dozen syringes full of fresh healthy mcylium water...Should I make some cakes to use as spawn for my bulk>Coffee>Coir>???? Will the mcycelium water be faster for the cakes to colonize??? How much faster then MS??

Or should I just go way out of my way for finding rye grain because be quicker?? Or will cakes be just as quick if i use the Myeclium water?


I use to use WBS but now not anymore i don't have a pet store or home depo close to me and the greenhouse that was selling brid seed did something to it or got new stuff with some spray or something on it that will contam my shrooms and not allow them to grow.  :frown:

Sure, you can use cakes as spawn. And yes, LC will colonize the substrate faster. It usually takes between 10 to 15 days,sometimes more, depending on the conditions. However I prefer fruit cakes as cakes and use rye as spawn. GL

Cakes would be faster, but kind of a PITA to break up.
I usually recommend fruiting cakes as cakes, but if you can't get grain... :shrug:

(WBS is worth trying, too.)

Why is it worth fruiting cakes as cakes wouldn't spawning to bulk be much more mushrooms? bigger? No??

I just ask this question because the last few times i did cakes i got probably around 10G off 2 cakes and they where pints(which is frowned apon i know but i couldn't get any half pint jars) so i figure spawning to bulk would work just as good as the grains??

PLZZ correct me if im wrong ??Will grains work better for bulk or will cakes work JUST THE SAME>??

pint brf cakes don't fruit as well as 1/2 pint cakes and

cakes always do better when you fruit them than if you were to spawn them to a bulk substrate

Cakes work better than bulk.
It's like spawning tequila to margarita mix. You get more drinks, but you don't get more drunk.
Cakes just kick ass.

Now, WBS to coir or rye -> poo will work well too.
But cup for cup, nothing outperforms cakes.

Well, you could use cakes, you have materials.
Do both- get some rye, do a comparison grow.
Rye to bulk, cakes to bulk, cakes as cakes, with the same amount of material for each grow...
