drying cakes between flushes????
    #19395307 - 01/09/14 06:50 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello fellow shroomerites. I have been reading some conflicting information and hope someone with great knowledge can help me clarify which is true.

I stumbled across a thread with people arguing whether or not to let pf tek cakes air out for a day or 2 before dunking after the first and following flushes. Instantly it sounded crazy to me to let the cakes dry out at all. I would assume that would be terrible for the mycellium.  The argument was being made that it better mimics nature therefore is better for the shroomies which I could kind of see gut have a hard time believing.

Help me shroomery!! Lol. Any input, especially input from some of the veterans on here that have possibly heard of this before would be much appreciated! :grin:

I've done both.
If I do cakes now, I just go straight to dunk and back in the fc.
I saw no benefit to waiting.

:peace:

Agree with all the above.  Just wanted to add though that they can still fruit if you do let them dry.

I have had a few where I harvested but didn't have my large pot clean and ready to dunk them in.  Dunked them a day or 2 later for the same 12 hours as usual and they fruited fine.  They seemed to perform the same as far as flushing but there was a little more lag time for the ones that dried out before the dunk.
