cake + bulk in same container

Hi everyone, I am nearing full colonization on several half pint brf/verm cakes. I was thinking about using a shotgun container with perlite to fruit. I would like to fruit some of the cakes whole (after the dunk and roll) and others I would like to spawn to bulk. So is it possible to do both kinds of fruiting in the same container at the same time? And what is everyone's favorite bulk substrate to use that doesn't use poo?
Thanks!

It sure is. I have a big bulk brick of rye/coir/verm in a SGFC with a few test cakes right now.

You can't really see in this picture but all around that big "cake" there's quarter pint pf cakes as well. You can barely see one of them in the bottom right if you blow it up (it's not verm rolled on purpose)

Ease up on the misting, those look way too wet.
Fan more between mistings so that water evaporates.
Do not mist again until the water you previously applied has evaporated.

That's an old picture. And probably just after a misting. I only mist the block 1 time a day while I mist my PF cakes like 3-4. I give a good heavy mist though, Think I should do less heavy? That picture was taken right after I misted since I had the lid open.

Why did you decide not to verm roll? And thanks for the pics, those look mighty fine

Yea, mist a little less than that....you got good coverage, just use a little less water to cover the same area and you should be fine.
Then again it might just be that picture fucking with me...lol.

The test cakes are for clone tissue so they're kind of between an isolate and MS. I really just wanted to see how much the change on yield would be. I really should do it with an isolate but I'm still working on my agar techniques, and I have glass dishes which are a pain in the ass to work with in a SAB especially with how loose the tops and bottoms go together.

Thanks for the info. The brick really drys out overnight. I give it a good and heavy whenever I wake up, and then leave it alone till the next day. I'll try using less and see how that goes.
