It will contam.  If you're going to birth a cake and try to spawn it to bulk, you'd need to go with a pasteurized sub like coir or hpoo.  If you kept your spawn ratio high it would probably work, although grain spawn is much preferable for that.

ummm okay i bought premium tropical soil and my cakes have been dunk and roll,but i see the mycelium searching for more to colonized

In you're own personal opinion would it be a good idea to pasteurized and take advantage of this? would it give me more ore is it best to leave it how it is and wait for the cake to pin out?.

Would it make a difference if i re-roll it again with vermiculite and not pasteurized it with coconut fiber?

Let's put it this way, when you birthed, dunked and rolled your cake you ended your sterile environment, and covered your cakes in mold spores and bacteria.  The healthy mycelium will fight this off and won't contam, but if you put them with a sterilized substrate those mold spores will rip right through the sterilized sub.  I suggest you just have patience and grow them from cakes.  If you want to pasteurize some coir and crumble the cakes into it, you could do a mini bulk, again, keep your spawn ratio high.  I would just make sure your cakes have good FAE, light and humidity and wait for them to pin.  Are you using a shotgun fruiting chamber?

popcorn is not the best grain choice, i'd advise your try wbs or rye.
grow your cake out and take some prints or even some clones :thumbup:

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

yes i am using a shotgun fruiting chamber.
Is the light to close?



Two were placed in the fruiting chamber on June 9 and other on June 11, its been 6 days since i placed them in, what the common date to see pins?.


I like keeping the humidity this high, is this right?.




I guess ill leave them be, don't wanna fuck things up lol :grin:
