Notice the title of the thread Evilmushroom666's TAKE on BRF Cakes. I also think I did a bit more then re-hash other peoples ideas, but you are entitled to your opinion I guess.

You are too kind EM, as usual.
What you did was the sort of "radio check" that we all need, and all provide for eachother. By this I mean a clear definition of a tek as we currently understand it. This allow us to sort out all the various thoughts, and is also another place to look it up when needed. (I needed to find lime amounts for a casing soil the other night...it took a while to find ;0)
The fact that there are alternatives at certain points can and probably should be mentioned where possible.
EM was not trying to claim any sort of authorship!

Should he remove pins also before the second dunk ?
No. The pins left behind after the first flush are part of the second flush.
I have seen where later flushes have less, larger, fruits, but this varies. (PE often has blobs, then fruits)
Good luck,
JD

No. Never heard of sponge being used.
This is interesting.
Sponge will neither have the same mineral content, but it seems reasonable that it might retain water well.
Can you post photos of these SpongeBobs?

Too answer part of one of your questions, yes, adding more BRF will improve the conditions for contaminants, but I think that just as important is that the more nutritious the sub is, the slower it colonization will be.

Incubators can work, but are usually not recommended.
Higher temps promote contams too.
Room temp is best. If you are comfortable, then the fungus will be too.
Good luck,
JD

This is a good tech for beginners, and one thing that beginners need is help in dealing with the patience this hobby requires.
EM schedule is appropriate IMO. If it is on the long-side, then this is intentional, I am sure.
The speeds that you are seeing are not uncommon, but are definitely on the fast-side.
Good luck,
JD

Nothing bad.
Speed suggests strength. This is good.
The only down side *might* be less potency.
I only suggest this because it is often the slowness of PE that makes this strain so much stronger than other strains.
I prefer strong species/strains.
Good luck,
JD

You want the tops of the jars to dry fully, and for the verm layer to do the job of protecting the substrate.
Take off the foil.
Good luck,
JD

Higher CO2 does stimulate colonization.
Lowering CO2 is a fruiting trigger.
Take care,

Bumping *good* threads is often praised.

(It can bring to the new threads worth reading)

Great first post.
This is indeed a great place to start.
Do not let any cake-haters get you down. Cakes rock.
Good luck,
JD
P.S. You can look forward to incorporating mycology into your gardening as well.
