Well, thanks. I'm 59, but hurtling at breakneck speed towards 60. Previously, before this spate of madness, I only ever had one experience of shrooms. I'm a musician, so I was gigging one night, and a band hanger-on was at the bar, cutting up liberty caps. I had no idea what they were, or wtf he was doing (at the fucking bar! -Discretion wasn't his strong point). "Want some magic mushrooms?". I said, "Oh. What do they do?" (I'd never heard of them before). "They get you high". Oh. Well, I've been high before, I've had alcohol. What the hell. Why not. Jesus! I had the best night of my life up to that point. (band was on the cusp of cutting a record deal) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Never found them again until about 4 years ago. (You get disconnected from such folly). Again, I was at a gig, and a musician asked me if I wanted a toke outside. I said sure. Turns out he was also a fucking lawyer. He opened a small briefcase (-or should we say a small mobile pharmacy) and pulls out some shrooms. Sold me some. I took 'em, and went pleasantly mental. Hooked ever since. Plus, I now have an advocate if I ever get discovered.
Way I look at it. As a guy, or as anybody, you don't really reach a stage (unless you're decrepit and on the way out) where you're never going to want food or sex or alcohol again, on the assumption that you've outgrown it. They're just recurring needs and necessities. But when you discover the joy that is mushrooms, how would you not want that? Simple as that.
Anyway, I have all you good people here at the shroomery to thank for all the stellar (and sometimes snarky) help you've all given me. Thanks to all for tolerating my insistent questions, but I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
Do I get a stripe or something now?

You picked all the ones that opened up like that right? In the future wait for the veil to tear and then pick, spores can lead to contams

Yeah, I did. Although I had a tendency to want to wait for them to get bigger. Seems once the veil breaks, they don't grow any more, or is that correct?

They will continue to grow but maximum potency is after the veil tears, then they're just sucking water from your substrate.

no worries... I didn't take any offense at all. I've been waiting years to see someone replicate my cake bins, but I've come to the conclusion that most peeps just go to bulk before they commit to something like that... and shit, I don't blame 'em after doing bulk lol, but I'm glad that I did it; the BE is great on them and they make for a hell of a picture, but it was a lot of work.

What? Are you saying nobody has, or am I in the running?
Btw, two of my cakes that I've already raided and stripped bare of fruit, are now coming back with a vengeance, with 25 pins on one, and 17 on the other. Two more have crapped out, and said: "No, I'm not doing this any more. I want $15 an hour".
Only thing I did different this time, was to add a tablespoon of gypsum, a tip I'd picked up from you guys here at the shroomery.
Still a newbie so haven't tried "bulk", by which I assume you mean bulk substrate in a monotub with perhaps sliced cakes. You seem to be saying that bulk leads to way more yield, is that right? Dunno what BE is.

Nobody has beat Faht in cakes.
Nobody. BE on cakes > bulk. Less materials per cake.

Then, I guess, it's a hard act to follow. Is he the Coltrane of mushies? What's BE anyhow?

Wait. I just checked out his bulk tub stuff here, and saw the tub pics at the end. I just had to burst out laughing. Unbelievable.

^^^that's a great place to start for bulk and lots of other method's/techniques too.. there's plenty of others on here as well.. it's worth checking them all out and using the different techniques that best suit your growing situation and style. I'm in a rush so I don't have time to link you to all of them, but I'm sure there's some cats that will do it for me.

I had to ask this question recently. One more question is is this wet weight or dry weight?

I believe BE or Biological Efficiency...refers to Dry Weight...For example 4 Quarts of spawn in a bulk grow produces 4 Dry Ounces...that is 100% BE Some of the masters on this site even exceed 100%...

A lot of people get over 100%, Pasty has a clone that does 175% with a 2 inch substrate.
The trick to BE is as minimal substrate as possible with the highest possible return. Cakes have excellent BE potential.
