Invitro Shrooms

When doing invitro, is there a lot of harm in not removing the pins that form on the cake? Should I take out the cake, take off the aborts and then put the cake back in the jar? I don't have a terranium so thats the reason I want to do invitro. Also do you think I could get 3 flushes off an invitro cake just by picking the shrooms, dunking the cake, and sticking it back in the jar? Thanks.

A lot of the time, messing aournd with your cake causes more harm than good. If youve got nothing but abhorts and the cake is stalled, then i would remove it form its jar, clean all pins and dunk.

Birthing is always better than invitro... if you want to grow invitro, look into Mexicana A next time. It isn't cubensis, but it is easily cultivates and has large invitro flushes.

Oh dude, honestly if you're just looking to do a micro thing here just take an ice cream pale or something of equal dimensions, put some moist paper towl in the bottom of it and birth your cake onto the lid on top of it. If you can get perlite use that instead. Put the whole contraption on top of the monitor or something at around 80f and let sit until you get mushrooms.
Terrariums don't have to be ANYTHING fancy. If you can't get perlite and you don't want to use paper towl for the contam factor I'd imagine you could just mist it once or twice a day after fannings. Just add a wee touch of H202 into the water to fight any contams
Invitro cakes tend to require a jar-breaking to get out. I've had them by accident before and it took breaking up the cake to get it out and yeah.
Also, check out the Neglect Tek, you don't need a terrarium if you want to go as crazy as spawning a bulk substrate or making a casing.
IF this sounds alien and perplexing let me assure you it's not. If you need assistance feel free to PM me, I'll try my best to help you out.
I wouldn't do invtro though.

Damn those are some good suggestions. I actually printed off and read the whole fruiting section in the MMGG a couple times but I guess the coke bottle thing slipped my mind. Fucking drugs. Thanks for jogging my memory!

Put in some lava rock and a small airstone and you have a mini poorman's pod in a 2 L bottle.

Should I add H202 to the water or anything? How much should water should I put in in relation to the perlite?

Yeah i dont see the point of doing invitro. You can definitely use a 2 liter soda bottle with the top chopped off for one cake. Then your nice shrooms will grow to their full potential. For the perlite, just add water until all the perlite has soaked it up, it is fine if there is loose water at the bottom of your terrarium. You don't need to add H2O2 to the water in the perlite. Good luck! Peace.

You can use H202 along with water to hydrate your perlite but there's no point.
I hydrate mine by putting it in a strainer, then running it under a tap for a few minutes and stirring it up a bit until I think I've got water over it all. Then I just slop it into a terrarium and there we go, humidity.
