Best way to do P.E.?

Just succeeded with first casing of 50/50 verm/peat moss (z-strain), and have 14 1/2 pint PF tek jars of P.E. ready in a couple weeks. Scheming as to how I should fruit them - go with cakes or make another casing... any ideas as word on the streets is they are hard as shit to get to pin?

na man they are easy to pin just hard to print. skip the casing cubes dont need em. just do bulk with grain and coir or hpoo and use a monotub.
5qts of wbs for spawn, 1 brick of coir and a 71qt (or close to) plastic bin and a 5 gal bucket to hydrate your coir

i use a hybrid type ..same mono holes at bottom with poly..then add pyramid of 1/4. this pattern keeps humidity up ..with good fae. i tape the 1/4 holes till pins,then open all,loose poly in 2in holes.adjust to your room by tight pack polyfill or tape over afew small holes or drill a few more. i still mist walls and fan..seems to work nice.

Hey OP,
Dunk and roll them and put them into your SGFC.
There is not need to spawn them. PE fruits well enough from cakes.
Good luck, whatever you do.

I have heard that P.E. struggles with cakes, but I have no direct experience.

I did PE as my second strain, and was still using a terrarium, but they did pretty well.
I took only one photo during the grow, but they were very pretty:

Anyway, good luck OP!

I got 2 oz dry in a month with 11 cakes and I could fit 30 in the FC so how bad of a yeild is that?
Some people want more I'm sure but for many the PF Tek yeilds pretty damn good, I am certainly satisfied and plan on sticking with it for a while! (instead of changing my set up plus its easy and it yeilds good...)

If I need a QP I'll throw 10 more cakes in, the point is a SGFC is the easiest way, you don't need a PC, and most people start out with one so why change your set up around and get all new stuff and everything enless your growing for a lot more then yourself. Plus if you get a contam with cakes you don't mess up the whole thing.
That was my first grow to and PE6 so I'm sure theres better yielding varieties and I'm sure Ill get better results as I go on.

You will.
Spawning to bulk adds an extra colonization phase.
It is how I work with grains, but I still enjoy working with cakes too.
Good luck!

but thats just it you dont have to change your setup all you gotta do is buy some coir and a 5gal bucket no need for a pc. on top of that coir is VERY contam resistant
