Depends on the genetics. I only see one mutant in that last pic, the others should grow out normally. :cool:

Don't think too many people try to pause a cake fruiting.

I think id just leave it in and see what grew when i got back.

If no one else has any ideas maybe put a few in the fridge and leave a few out for an experiment. Im sure the ones from the fridge won't do anything for several days after returning to fruiting conditions.

Yeah, I would just leave them in the SGFC. You may have to clean up a bit of spores, but it's better than having your cakes stall out from spending too much time in the fridge.

So 2.5-3 days without mist and fanning they will still grow? Maybe i should resoak the perlite before i leave??

They'll grow. Just not very well. It'll be a surprise.

Defiantly saturate the perlite before you go.

Fanning is not necessary with a proper sgfc so nbd.

Made the mono tub 1" holes on the bottom and two 1 1/2" holes on top..The WBS jars were cased today using damion5050 coir tek... i also did a small lasagna tray with 3 pint brf thai koh samui cakes that stalled because of substrate being too wet but cakes were 85-90% colonized. I shredded them up witja cheese grater and wrapped the tray with tin foil and put it on top of my mono tub for both  of  them to consolidate. About when should i.check.tjem? The tek said 10 days right? Also i birthed 3 mexi-albino brf half pint cakes and they are dunking... will put pics up tomorrow after the roll...

Apply a casing if you want and let that re-colonize to 30% of the surface, then fruit it,
Or just consolidate for another day or two after the surface is fully colonized

Casing layers are debated as to their effectiveness as it applies to cubensis as a whole. It is widely agreed upon that Penis Envy does noticeably better with a casing layer where several growers will say a Peat/verm/lime casing layer is best.

You can use coir/verm at. 50/50 ratio if you'd like to.

For cubensis outside of penis envy it is heavily argued that there is no real advantage from a casing later verses not having one, and our friendly neighborhood Trusted Cultivator Pussyfart has not cased his PE ever in a logged grow.

I have done a PE tub with and without casing and I will be casing my Penis Envy from now on.

I do not apply casing layers to Cubensis monotubs that are not PE.

Casing layers serve to regulate the microclimate at the surface of the substrate. They buffer the pH to appropriate levels and keep rH at proper levels. They are generally not nutritious, but are very commonly colonized by the fungus.

Late casings are applied after pinning starts and some growers prefer them to casing right at fruiting.

I hope this information helps you.

I've seen content lately that says introducing to fruiting conditions early (prior to full colonization) is okay. In some circumstances I've seen people say they've colonized their mono tubs in fruiting conditions.....if it is not contaminated I doubt it could hurt much, but in my limited experience I don't have trouble waiting until full colonization then introducing fruiting conditions right away.

I did have a cple nice ones that ened up to be 1-1.2 g dry  but its nit bad for leaving them go for 4 days i guess... pics will be up once final weight is determined.... whoops forgo mt to say a friend and i ate 7 grams so far so total weight as of now is a little short
