Naked Cakes? (No rolling after dunk?)
    #19080097 - 11/03/13 12:19 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys,

A little a while ago I saw some pics of cakes in a FC that had been dunked but not rolled in vermiculite. I believe the logic in leaving the cakes "naked" was to make it easier to spot contams, but it also left the FC looking nice and clean. I have used the search function but cannot dig up the post I am mentioning. Can this be done? Is rolling cakes absolutely necessary or can they be left "Naked"? Furthermore, how effective is rolling in verm  in reducing contams vs. a cased cake that has not been rolled?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your cakes are not going to contam unless they already were. Fully colonized cakes are very contaminate resistant. Smell them after you birth them, and if they're good then they will get you through a few flushes. You'll know even with the verm when they're done for.

I did an experiment once with clone cultures. Two cakes one rolled and one not rolled. Both had the same sub-set of genetics(not isolate but better than MS) the non-rolled one performed less than half as good as the rolled one. The micro-climate the verm makes really helps.

In my experience not rolling leads to more mushrooms but they are smaller. And rolling leads to much larger fruits. I did not compare total yield though, it was just something I noticed while experimenting.
