I'd say they've provided you with enough, and put them to rest.

Jesus bro. Those look like super old baked flan cakes. Just throw them away. It doesn't matter how you do it.

Damn thats all? I just harvested my 5th cake today and I'm already at like 40+ grams, dry. (first flush still)

I would throw them out and start new batch or keep pushing shrooms out of those and start a new batch.

Bigfeely123 said: WTF!? damn im SERIOUSLY jealous dude... Are you using the PF TEK? That is the method I am using myself because I'm still a noob at this. Those B+ cakes were my first grow ever. I'm on my second grow right now with the Brazilian strain & they seem to be doing a lot better actually. My first flush with the Brazilians was 28 grams dry.
Still though you say you've gotten 40+ grams just from 5 cakes. I don't get it... Are you doing anything "special" like cloning or a more advanced method? Have you been doing this for years? I see people's cakes on here that have large clusters of mushrooms ALL OVER them-like literally you can't even see the cake itself. None of my cakes have ever gotten like that. My average yield for pf cakes are like 2 grams to 1/8 dry.
I have a SGFC, built correctly. 4-5 inches of perlite. Mason jars on the bottom so air flows underneath. Mist & fan 3 times a day, sometimes 2 but mostly 3. The SGFC is well over 2 feet from any wall, it is basically in the middle of the room it is in. The window on the far-side of the room is opened almost all day so fresh air gets in. I read for months about growing mushies so I really don't think I am doing anything wrong. 
This too is my first grow! It took like a month for my cakes to colonize. The only thing I noticed was my temps are a little lower then suggested. Temps stay around 65ish. Everything else you do, I do the same too! Actually I prob mist/fan 6x a day!

Bigfeely123 said: Damn... I'm guessing you used a multispore syringe. So maybe you just got lucky & received a syringe with good genetics..? Not sure, but either way that is pretty crazy-40 plus grams for just 5 cakes. WOWZERZ. Hope I am not doing something wrong that I am just simply overlooking.
The old B+ cakes were just laid to rest. Buried them somewhere outdoors in a shallow dirt grave. I doubt any will grow but who knows? I'll update if they do happen to grow. 
I used a ms syringe from a non-sponsor but their addressed listed by my old house so if they tried to rip me off I would just go show up there lol. This was before I knew about the sponsors here though.
I got a ton of shrooms growing on one cake! check it out, this will probably be the most mushrooms I'll pick from first harvest off one cake.

Yes I used 1/2 pint tall jars. I mist pretty heavy in the morning til noon and then lighter mists the rest of the day. And before I go to sleep I'll do a heavy mist. I fan after every mist too, for at least 30seconds.
I do work from home too if I want so that def gives me more flexibility to mist/fan throughout the day.

haven't been able to find a good description of when to throw out the cakes either (besides describing OP's as a flan or something ). Anyone care to share their insights?

Thanks and yes! Like a week ago I tried a few grams in some tea but I couldn't finish the tea due to the fact I forgot I had people coming to install carpet. Last night though I made another 3g tea and it was pretty solid. I didn't really "trip" so much but I felt like a weed high for about 6 hours lol.

I'm probably going to do a 2.5 gram dose tomorrow some time during the afternoon. It's sort of weird, out of all the times I have taken mushrooms-approx 50 or so times, probably 90% of the times was at night. So I guess I'll see how different it is tripping during the day vs at night. I think at night, things get a lot "trippier", for me atleast.
I took the shrooms in the morning, at like 8am and they literally were pulling in my drive way as I was posting in my grow log that I had just consumed 3/4 of my cup lol. I want to wait til it gets a little nicer out then head to the sand dunes near me and do some kind of nature trip haha.

Cakes are usually good for 2-3 flushes. After that, it's usually spent and best to throw them away. When they start yellowing, that's usually a good indicator. Flan is a dessert.
