Let's see if I can knock out a few things. OP I don't own a drill either, every hole I've made was by a trusty nail on the stove or a heated scalpel to cut holes in plastic.
There's no issues with moving your cakes and perlite out of the tub for a while when your melting the holes, just make sure they don't dry out.
If you want them dry you can put them in an enclosed space with a fanning running directly on them for 1-3 days and them put them into a container with moisture absorber.
If you want them fresh they keep for a few days in the fridge in either a plastic bag with paper towels in it or in a paper bag.
And don't worry too much about this vert talk, I doubt it will affect you on a cake or two.

Last question - today being THE day [Re: jbaby007]

Thank you first to all who replied.
I took a jigsaw to my growth chamber last night and got some holes in there. This morning, the stems on that first cake are just huge still... maybe four inches or better.
Like I have mentioned, its been a bucket list dream to try shrooms at some point in this lifetime. I have waited 45 years. This morning - soon; I would like to snip off those huge stemmed "rosecombs?" and eat them. Fresh. Before I lose them forever.
I looked up so much about Mexican PE - potency, etc. I found a thread someone wrote regarding having no scale and the writer said that a nickle is 5 grams. By the calculator provided; for a level 2, I would need to ingest 12 grams. Fresh that is.
My last question before I go gently into my good"day" is this: in the photo of the crazy growing shrooms on that one cake and the now larger pins (I believe they are called - they are immature, I know this) - are they safe to eat? Would any of you eat them? That would be a better answer.
Thank you to all of you very lovely, knowledgeable, peace-loving; soul searching folks!!

rosecomb is just the name of the cap mutation... You can eat anything that looks like a mushroom, mature or not.

The result of advice and a truly spiritual and amazing expericence~! [Re: Inocuole]

Thank you for all the advice. I put air holes in my chamber - I couldn't figure out how for awhile. I sat with it and because I do crafts; I decided to try my small wood burner to create holes in the plastic chamber. It was very neat; precise; and created great holes just as you told me. The caps grew perfect after that; they were perfect. With two neighbors; I had the most amazing experience outside for about five hours - maybe more next to what I call my enchanted forest (it is a forest beside my house with all manner of plant life; deciduous and coniferous trees; edible berries by the hundreds in there - pine needle pathes - old growth trees). The clouds; everything was incredible. It was as if I was on another plane of existence. I sketch. So I thought I would share both what my mushies looked like after the advice for air and how to dry them; etc. And then my sketch during a ...well having no real experience to define absolutely - a high level experience for sure! For hours. Here are two photos. I was hoping to show it to some great folks here who helped tremendously!!! I want to thank you! My second flush is going great as well!!!! I would like to try it again from scratch; no "growing kit." I have to do a lot of research to make sure I do it right and of course; I love to hunt for them. There are six species in Maine so I hope if a Mainer reads this; they will know to look!!! Thank you everyone! The first pic is to show you what the caps and such looked like after growing with the help of the advice for air flow; holes (etc.) and thank you so much for all of that!! And misting and the light advice as well - as a newbie grower. The second pic is what occurred during a five hour hilariously funny experience eating nine dried (taking drying advice here) with some neighbors. I felt like my hand was guided - some very strange and wonderful feelings while sketching. Ignore the magnets; I gave the drawing to the neighbor who partook with me and made me laugh so beautifully hard! Thanks all.

Have you too had a quasi-spiritual; hilarious; connected to everything around you sort of experience? And enlightening? I did. Finally - age 45; everything was just another beautiful reality. Surely we have several realities all around us all the time. We just need to be able to tune in......

Amazing - This breakdown of how to cultivate is exactly what I was needing and looking for!! Perfect; thank you so very much! I had my experience Sunday and relational; I can tell you that this definition is the perfect description of how I feel: "Origin & History of Enlightenment:" "to remove the dimness or blindness (usually figurative) from one's eyes or heart." It is a beautiful world if you decide to see it, hear it, touch it, smell it, taste it,....and FEEL it.

Enchantedforest...I always feel like I'm seeing things from a totally new perspective after a good trip...It recharges my soul... I'm also an artist and a part time writer...whenever I feel stuck (in my writing, drawing, or just life in general) ...I take a little trip and I feel like my senses and powers of observation amplify and awaken. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying cultivating... I'm still new, but if you have any questions, I'm always happy to help...I started by reading a ton of info...Find a user you like, Frank for example...click their username...then you can click to see all or just their main posts. There are alot of great people on this site...I think you are going to do great things. It is a beautiful world...Keep enjoying the ride.
