Bags vs. Cakes
    #20614724 - 09/24/14 11:17 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

First time cultivator here. I was having a hard time deciding to use mycology bags or pftek cakes in a terrarium for my babies. There has been green penicillin mold on some things in the house since we don't have ac and there is no humidity control really. But to the point, would a mycology bag work best against contams? or would the terrarium? Don't really have the budget to set up the terrarium to superb standards. I just don't want them to get moldy!!!

Bags are generally used similar to jars for bulk (you let them colonize then dump them out to mix into bulk) but they hold a lot more.
Cakes are allowed to colonize then fruited.
So they are really different things.

Neither will protect you from contams, a proper SAB and good procedure are where it's at.
In that regard I would go with cakes as you aren't putting all your spawn in one bag/basket, as it were.

Alright, thanks for the feedback man. Still might go with the mycology bags just because they would have less open airflow than the cakes would. I've got brazil and guadalajara syringes so there is a little room for error incase things go sour

pf cakes usually dont exceed 1cc spore solution each,
so you could make 10 cakes (5 each strain) and then a drop or two of each in agar which can make tons, if you are commited to mycology
i definitely think it's worth doing pf cakes if nothing else to learn the shrooms lifecycle and basic procedures
usually best practice to save some spores incase of total failure :smile:

/e mis understood you, lol
