Costa Rica casts revive!

These are posted in the hopes they act as an encouragement for noobs like me!  For you veterans, any advice is welcome! 
This one started with spawn that had a contaminate. You can read about it here if you are interested. Pretty awesome recovery IMO.
4/8 CR MS WBS spawned to HVCGC 30qt using standard mono specs 4/20 fruiting conditions.  4/28 ready!
 
 
 
 Again, many thanks to all of you who knowingly and unknowingly contributed to such splendor with all your wisdom and experience!

Just curious where you got your spores from? I got a few PF jars w/Costa Rica from sporeworks going right now. Hope I get results like that! Nice work man.

thx man! I sure am! I jumped straight to bulk, had some awful mistakes only a few months ago, and now I'm working on isolating/cloning. I love it! Still a total noob though!

sporeworks also. I've only seen a few pics of cakes rivaling monotubs as far as time/work : yield. I'm sure cakes are great for those without the proper resources for bulk, but if you can get all the stuff, go for it! They are truly low maintenance once you get some fine-tuning going on, and this is coming from a complete beginner!

Dude, can you link me to these pics of cakes rivaling a bulk grow? I've seen some VERY pretty cake grows, but the yield has always been complete piss. I have heard from some people that cakes can produce as much as a bulk grow however. 
Check this out:

That's a VERY pretty pic, but yield was less than 3oz. Only about 2oz if I remember right. And that's a pic of double-stacked cakes as well, so there's actually ~23-24 cakes in there. (...I think one isn't stacked.)
I could pull a minimum of a QP off a bin that size growing bulk. And you can too!

I think doing a few cakes, like 10-12 of em is fun to supplement a bulk grow

Like, grown on the side or added in to the substrate? 
Cakes are fun, for sure. As far as I know, they don't yield well in terms of cubic unit of space in a grow area however.
I use cakes as inoculant for jars of grain spawn. Full colonization of 20 jars from one cake in under 1 week.

Grown on the side in a shotgun terrarium or something, I think it's fun to watch the pinsets grow. What you described might be a lot more effective though.

Facey, that would be one of the ones I remember. I had no idea the yield was 2-3oz. I'm more glad I skipped cakes than I thought.

You're dead on, Facey... that grow did pretty shitty, but it looked cool.. like alien spiders. lol I think it was due to over-watering if I remember correctly... I think the bottom layer of cakes didn't even do anything that flush.
But yeah, I was way happier doing bulk... the cake bins are were pretty much a guarantee so I always had at least one going per round so if I did lose an entire bin of bulk sub., it wasn't an entire loss.
nice grow and recovery OP... and remember too that if you catch a contam. soon enough and it's something fairly harmless to you, trich etc, you can repressure cook and re-inoc... but by the looks of that infected jar, that would have not been an option here as colonization was too far along... just something to keep in the back of your mind i suppose. good job!

Nice to see you pop in, faht. 
I was also gonna quote some of your PE cake grows, but I was tired. 
I like how RR credited your pic to "...a grower from Amsterdam" in Let's Grow Mushrooms.

Thx for the tips and kind words Fahtster!
2nd flush a little late on the pull. oh well.

could probably go for a third, but the fruiting area is too small when a 71qt is trying to squeeze in there!
