wow. if every thing is good with your FC u could, get mushies by than.

You could wash the jars and put them back in and put in the frg... it will make the myc slow down, and u can put them in the FC when u get back. how long are you going to be gone? i have never ran into this problem. i mean we put agar dishes in the frg.. to perceive them. i have put 100% cakes in the frg but not one that's been birthed.:shrug:

:goodluck: hope this helps, sorry i couldn't help more.

i would keep em in the frige until you come back. Nobody will be around to fan or mist. I think you would have better results if you just waited.

OR.

you could keep em in the frige until the day you leave, and spawn it to some casings or bulk, then let it colonize while you are gone.

break them up and spawn them to some pasteurized poop or coir and cover it up w. some foil or w/e.  put in a dark place to colonize until you get back! so then you will have more mushies when you get back + problem solved. poop/coir is easy to get, and anyone can pasteurize (even with just a microwave!) this is what a foaf did when he had to go out of town and his already birthed cakes were starting to knot. he has good results.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I've rolled them today with the hope that they will be done with the first flush by the time I leave in 5 days. Then, I'll have a friend(no experience) take care of them for me while I'm away.

I made this decision before I understood what bulking was.

Another question arises: Should I still bulk it rather than depend on an inexperience help?

Well all they have to do is mist/fan 3 times a day.
How long are you going to be gone? i have let a cake give a few mushies than made a tray out of it.

It will take a week or so b4 it can be put in fruiting con...

If u need help with it,let me know and i will do what i can to help.

Well, I can tell you that they will not be done with the first flush within 5 days if you just rolled them. Did you dunk for 24 hours? If not i suggest you throw them back into a ziplock bag full of water overnight to hydrate.

You can have your buddy look after them, as he just has to fan and mist. But show him how.

You can also spawn to bulk. In that case, pasturize your substrate and mix it up in trays. You can use straight coir with some verm mixed in if you want. then let it colonize for the time you are away. its up to you.

Well...I have learned a bit more since I last posted. Thank y'all for contributing to my understanding and clearing up some misunderstanding :smile:

Right now I have 6 cakes (1 pint size) in the FC: 2 rye grains, 2 WBS and 2 PFK. They have been sitting in there for almost 2 days now. *Sigh* No sign of activities. Should I take the ones that are rye grains and WBS out and do something else with them? I've read that they yield better if I spawn them to bulk. Or is the risk of contamination greatly increased having been exposed to FC environment?

It looks like I'm gonna be following some of your suggestions:
1. Put some completed PFK cake jars in the fridge until I get back to minimize losses just in case my helper doesn't get it right while I'm gone. Will the cakes be fine in the fridge for 13 days? Or should I case them?
2. Spawn to bulk with some new completed rye grains/WBS cakes.

OR Should do anything else?

Thank you so much for your contribution. This would be so much more stressful if I had to deal with my challenges on my own. Y'all scientist are sho nice folks :smile:

You won't see any activity for a while when fruiting cakes. This is normal. Whatever you plan on fuiting as a cake just leave it in the fruiting chamber.

It is true that grains do better when you spawn them to bulk because they don't retain much moisture on their own. Normally you could safely spawn fully colonized cakes to a bulk substrate if you pasteurize the substrate correctly. This is because the colonized cake is very resistant to contam, and once pasteurized, your substrate will not be able to horbor any contaminates until the myc is able to take over.

But because you already put the cakes in the fc and initiated fuiting conditions, i would leave them there. do not try and get it to go back to colonizing after it's already trying to fruit. Whatever is in the fruiting chamber, leave it.

If you have more cakes that you have not birthed yet, you can put those in the fridge, and spawn them to bulk when you return.
