1/4 pint cakes?
    #16794830 - 09/05/12 08:10 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

was just wondering if i could use really small tupperware tubs and do more smaller cakes for faster/smaller yields or no?

upside/downside to smaller cakes if this can work? i have limited time to maintain my cycles so i was wondering if i could do it this way and maybe do more myself?

They would work, but I think the yields would be quite a bit smaller. 

Mycelium, once it has fully colonized whatever substrate, pulls nutrients from all of the substrate to grow the mushrooms.    So, smaller substrate > less nutrients > smaller mushrooms | less flushes.  I have heard mycelium referred to as natures internet, if that helps correlate this information any.

they will definitely work. when i was doing the PF i mostly used 1/4 pints. the fruit size didn't vary much from the 1/2 pints but overall yield did.
another good suggestion that i've seen some people do is stack them.

1/4 pint cakes would work fine, you might like to skewer two atop one another when fruiting. The less brf you work with, the higher your efficiency will be. That's why we use in in half pints, and not really in bags or tubs. In short, more brf equals more mushrooms, but twice the amount of brf won't give you twice the mushrooms.

I like 1/4 pints to test LCs. They colonize fast as shit.

I work with 1/2 pints. This morning when I checked them cake tipped over because of a large fruit. I had to weigh it.. 29.3 wet! Anyway I wouldn't want smaller because of tipping issue... Or maybe they wouldn't produce such large fruits.. Which I enjoy.

i used both 1/2 and 1/4 pints this summer. the 1/4  pints colonized fast and fruited really good. the size of the fruits was smaller on the 1/4p cakes though. i had about 12 1/4 cakes and it produced enough for me and my friends to enjoy.

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream,
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thought, surrender to the void,
It is shining, It is shining

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
