Smoothcat said: Quick response thanks 
I've already birthed 2 that fully colonised and consolidated, the other three aren't going any further. (I've also got a monotub about to fruit which is looking pretty sweet )
So should I cut out the uncolonised sub before dunking, then crumble into a container, and put a layer of verm over the top, mist and then put into SGFC??
I need to get these fruiting otherwise they are going to get tossed.
Thanks guys 
Yes I would do what you said. But when you cut off the uncolonized part, I would lightly rinse it while rubbing off ALL uncolonized parts. Because cutting it off doesnt sound like you would get 100% of it off.
Yea just cover it with verm
Sweet, I'm gonna get dunking now then and I'll be back with my results

This is why its often recommended to set cakes with a big pinset into a saucer of water. The extra supplied water makes a huge difference, yet all too often this advice will be ignored. Another thing to note is that we hydrate bulk to field capacity but a properly made cake is nowhere near field capacity. Bulk by its very nature will have far more water. A pf cake by volume is a quarter water. Most coir verm mixes are a third to 40% water. That is a big difference.

Thats awesome!

Could you use only coir instead of his soil-looking mix?

How did you go about this? My attempt at casing my cakes didn't go very well. Help would be appreciated!

Do you mean put them in a saucer of water in the SGFC? or just put them in one when the pinset comes? I've got some cakes on the way so I'd like to know!

Yes in the SGFC. When the pinset is in and if it looks dense, put a saucer of water in the SGFC and set the cake in it. Pour off any water not absorbed by the next day and then do it again.

Is the plate of water an alternative to dunking a cake?

No. Always dunk the cake.

I guess so, his was
Quote:
40% coir, 40% Peat based potting soli, 10% vermiculite, 5% calcium carbonate, 5% crushed oystershells. Pasteurized in a microwave for 10 minutes at high.
Anno still is about but not posting, he was one of my favourite posters. He is not a credited TC but lots of the best older posters are not as its a relatively new thing.

Lots of older stuff is stupidly dismissed, 2 of the best reads I had this year were 90+ and 135+ years old!

+1, cakes can be very dry, if you take a towel out of a tumble drier it may not take on moisture very well, it can just roll off it. Same with with a dried out potted plant, you can add litres of water and it can just run right through it. While if the substance is moist it can readily take on and wick moisture far better.
