Using old cakes
    #22198332 - 09/06/15 05:22 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Total noob again, here. 

The good news is that I got 150 wet grams from my first flush of 4 cakes.  They are green from bruised cakes and I'm sure could have been more plentiful judging from the number of aborts, but I'm thrilled for my first time. 

In order to do this, I bought a kit from Midwest Grow Kits and used their pre-made cakes.  As my first round was fruiting, I inoculated some more cakes, but am now worried since they were about 2 months old.  I'm wondering if I can increase the likelihood of these old cakes growing mycelium by injecting water into them.  My concern is that the old cakes are dry and nothing will grow.  Is this a good idea?

I do have some extra spores in my syringe that I could also inject as extra if there is a concern that the spores I've already injected (about 4 days ago) are not living. 

Or, I can just wait and see if they do anything, but I'm ready for round two!

Thanks for any advice.  Wish me luck, I'm about to try my first batch now!

Cool, thanks. A lot of this stuff is counter-intuitive!

I have a question along the same line. I had an old grain jar that I let sit too long. It formed a cake in the bottom of the jar and then it dried out.

is there a way to salvage this or is it dead?
