Ok, Swim has harvested their first flush of b+ He got 2 caps and a third smaller one, total of 1.5 grams dry
He did pf tek but used the only jars he could get at the time. 1/4 pint He thinks... very small... but worked beautifully
He used a 6 inch dia clear plastic container about a foot tall... has a screw on lid and set the cake on the inside of the lid, and just opens it a few imes a day.. cake sits on a bed of damp verm, and thats about it... a few little holes drilled really low and one up high that allows the co2 to go out the low holes while allowing the oxygen to fall in thruu the top one.
ANYWAY, he ate a gram of dry and felt very minor borderline effects, and he knew not to expect much of anything, he just wanted to try out his fruit of labor, and to test potency.... HE WAS HAPPY!
ANYWAY,,, he did not dunk or roll the cake in verm, or anything like misting the cake or anything........ it basicly was mainainance free. his mushies were about 2-3 inch long, half to .75 inch dia caps, cut from the cake as soon as the veil split.
What he needs to know, since the only thing he did to start pinning, was to stick it in fridge for about 10-12 hrs, but he wants to know if he should now fridge it again, or dunk it for a half day and roll in vermiculite or what?? what needs to be done to increase the amount it makes? 2 mushrooms for each flucsh dont seem like much but he gets the reasoning why because of lack of nutrients in such a small cake, but the next 3 jars are almost done colonizing. he waited till one jar was a success( he inoculated 1 jar first, waited till the thing was done before wasting the next jars and spores. SO NOW... he has 3 jars, one large pf tek bag from amazon, and a large grain bag from amazon all inoculated and colonizing as he speaks... so far a 100% success rate for him!!
He understands there are faster and larger producing methods like as in using large pans to make large cakes to grow.. but he has a really strong habit of doing micro grows. Hes really happy doing so too( like his 12 cloned kush mini trees that were flowered right from cuttings all grown in a 15 gallon tub that all grew just one nice nug each, and was freakin proud of it too, hiding it in the cabnet of a computer stand that NOBODY even had a clue about... even had its own cold air intakes and carbon filter exhausts and was all controlled by a DIY pci controller from his desktop. LOL)
SO anyway, how should he go about starting his second flush? What can he do to increase his yeild( he knows it will be limited)? When he is ready to start his third grow, can he use the spent cake to start a new and rather large tub to grow.? instead of using spore syringe, he wants to just use the old MYC cake to break up inside a new substrate and not have to wait that extra week or so to have the spores start the growing, rather the old cake just start growing out onto the new BRF (and mabey add like 10% Flax Meal in a small container to try as experiment) ?
Please give him an idea to expand his grow in the fastest and most efficient way with the things he has on hand. I have already used the search engine, and at best, theres a million other ways to skin this cat, and no single one seems to hit on exactly what im trying to do... thanks yall... lots of love to the shroomery!

Since it's what "you" are trying to do, quit the swim crap and re post without all the schizophrenic swim, he crap and ask clearly. Many people will offer help, but most wont play the swim roleplay game.
ps. to answer your questions, you didn't make them pin by cold shocking them. They go when all they are colonized enough and they get fresh air exchange and evaporation. Yes you can spawn spent cakes to bulk. Look it up. People may give you shit for sourcing your substrates from nonsponsors, but I'd rather tell you to read up a bit and make your own stuff. Welcome to the Shroomery, learn to use the search engine.
