Can I case a single 1/2 pt cake?

I have eleven jars incubating and two are almost ready for birthing (one is B+ and the other is Ecuadorian). Should I attempt to case both separately or should I simply birth them together in a fruiting chamber?
This is a topic I have been searching in the forum for about three days and I have not seen an answer to this question.

Don't case them. Dunk them, roll them in verm and place them in your fc.

I'd wait until they are all ready, then dunk and roll.

I had a jar that was extremely ahead of my other batch and picking up a lot of pins, so..
i birthed it scraped the uncolonized part out with a sterilized spoon crumbled it put it back in the jar dunked the crumbled cake for 24 hours put a layer of verm on bottom, sprayed until damp applied my layer of crumbled cake put a 50/50 cactus soil/verm mix on top and misted until nice and moist put the lid on my dish and put in the incubator for a few days until it was covered in mycelium then moved it to my f.c. and voila
i got about 30g wet off that casing, its going for round 2 now... got a few pins starting to pop up...
Here a pic of my single 1/2 pinter in fruiting

I always thought "rolling" was essentially casing?

I didnt.... 30g was my top per cake for my 1st flush..? i got 130g wet off the other 11 combined.
Edit: If you do the math, that averages to 11/12g wet per cake otherwise from the combined total, I got 2.5x as much off the casing. And yet again the casing is pinning first.
I'm not telling him to go case, I'm just telling him it is an option and it did work for me...

This is my first time grow and I've probably read through at least two hundred different posts throughout the course of three months. So you can probably understand how "stretched" I am as to what methods to use.
How long can the myc survive in the jar while waiting for the others to catch up? Some of the other ones are going to take a WHILE.

How fast did it take for the crumbled substrate to colonize? I might try that with a couple of the ones already looking about 95% colonized.

i believe it took about 4 or 5 days to colonize, and another 2 or 3 to start pinning

I've left my cakes to site for over a month of consolidation (after 100% colonization) Just let the cake sit and wait untill the others are ready.... dont be impatient or you'll end up waisting your time

I don't know if this is entirely true (source?), but if you're not going to spawn to a bulk substrate then I would agree that leaving cakes as cakes is probably best. They are a novelty, really, something to get your foot in the door and some experience under your belt. Grain, trays, bulk sub, casing, etc. are where the fun begins If you're not ready to make that next step, and just want to get the most out of your cakes, dunk & roll it is.

organic brf & sta-green horticultural vermiculite. and i like my hobby why would you just quit something you just started cause you didnt do "great as other people". doing something you love is trial and error when starting. i had a jar that was done way too soon and had pins so i thought id try my hand at a casing on a small scale before i stepped up to a big scale. all my conditions are right, 100-105% RH, steady 70 degrees, PMP, dual outlet 60gal air pump into 4 bubble wands, hydroton. my shrooms came out real potent though. about 1.5g dry sends my friends and i to somewhere and beyond.
im NOTgrowing for quantity I'm growing for quality and assurance that I knowwhat and how what i am consuminginto my body was grown and treated.
people need to stop being so narcissistic on this board towards noobs and re-noobs

With a small hpoo tray only an inch deep i've gotten about a half ounce dry so far off 2 flushes and its on its third. And it was my very first expierience growing anything mushroom related.. If you got 11-12 grams wet on your cake you seriously need to rethink your growing strategy.

I got a nice chuckle out of it too.
As far as the OP question ... I would just put them in you fc and let them fruit. No harm in getting some goodies earlier than the bulk of your grow
