Should I consolidate longer than a week?
    #19241065 - 12/07/13 01:59 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hey all! I have a couple jars out of the 10 that will more than likely finish before the rest. I wonder if I should start consolidating them when fully colonized or wait until the rest catch up to start consolidation? Im I hear its better if I have my SGFC full vs having one cake? I am unsure if waitinf for the others jars to catch up will hurt anything..thanks all!

honestly it probably won't matter...

I've put fresh cakes in with ones that were already pinning, didn't change anything

I'd say if u really want to put everything in at once......just wait 3 days after ur last cake is fully colonized then throw them all in

or...just make another small fc for the faster cakes

not a big deal bro
cakes don't produce all that much anyway
i suggest going for mono tubs

my first cakes were super successful and i got maybe 1/2 oz total dry from a pint cake
my first tub gave me 1/2 lb dry total......and that wasn't even all it could have produced cause i split the tub into two different strains and one of the strains turned out not to be that great of a producer

lol what have they been doing for the first 3 weeks then?
consolidation is just to make sure that they grow all the way through.....which they mostly should have if everything went right

I had a friend who waited like 3 weeks after the cakes were fully colonized and they started pinning in the jar.......fucked his grow

u also don't want them to dry out so too long isn't good....i say a week is already too long

anyway i just really wanted to use that gif :lol:

:smbfacepalm:
no consolidation is the part where the mycelium gets time to digest it's meal properly, if it's colonized on the outside it is on the inside, just search it bro.
and pins won't fuck a grow we see it all the time on here
and cakes rarely ever dry out, and your dunking anyway. check your facts before callling my bs:cool:

ok i still disagree with super long consolidation

ive always gotten great results with only 3 day consolidation
doing it for longer means you risk contams

my facts are my experience
ive seen plenty of cakes start precipitating and proceed to shrivel up and dry out when left for too long after colonization

premature pins can easily fuck up a cake by triggering small pins to open their caps and start dropping spores before they finish growing.....

a week would probably be ok....but longer than that I wouldn't ever do myself

but if it works for you......then keep on keepin on, what can I say results speak for themselves


anyway we shouldn't confuse the young one.....lets just settle at a week and end it

they shrivel mostly due to the fact that they are being eatin not water loss

Consolidating BRF cakes for a week minimum is recommended, no matter what anyone thinks....the search function can back this up 10 fold.

Consolidation is the act of the mycellium digesting the highly nutritious substrate it has colonized.

And since BRF cakes are almost on the verge of being too nutritious, I would say at least a week is good....some people let them go for 2....some people(the trusted ones), seem to think that longer consolidation periods lead to more healthy and potent fruits.....

Here's what happened with mine haha


After about a week n a half of consolidation







This of course was awhile ago but none the less, the extra half of consolidation and I think too much light exposure triggered some pins :crazy2:

Last pic is just to show my best cakes that round

No, I wasn’t born in 98’

it looks like they still produced some good fruits. Did you pick off the ones pinning in the jar after birthing? Also if I see pins should I still dunk?

I notice some of my cakes starting to shrink/pull away from the sides, this is happening at about 75+% colonization, after some research it comes to find out its just the mycelium eating the BRF :smile: I will start my ONE WEEK consolidation tomorrow :smile: Thanks for your help everyone!

Yes they did  :excited:

Yeah they kinda fell off, I chowed down the lil guys with no effects haha. And yes, even with pins always always always dunk your cakes. They need lotsa moisture to fruit from. A 24 hr dunk is recommended and that is what I did. If they float to the top put a plat or bowl with some water in it to weigh it down.

Good luck! :rockon:

Awesome man! Thanks again! I cant wait to birth these bad boys! Im going to count down my one week as of tomorrow. I think the rest of the jars will be caught up by then. I hope I get some good looking fruits like you :smile:
