No casing layer for Penis envy...

Hey Shroomery long time no post. So I'm doing multiple bulk runs right now a few of which is PE. But do to lack of casing ingredients I decided to spawn and fruit without it & in my experience it's worked out but I'm in a different location now & was just asking some advice. I can post pics if need be.

I don't think you actually asked a question here.....but here is an example of Penis Envy I fruited with no casing layer:

Grown with spores....
Here is an example of a grow from spores from the same print as enough except this time we cased our tub with straight Jiffy Mix (available at Walmart)

And finally....here is what casing a PE isolate can do:

5$ buys you enough jiffy mix to case 5 or more tubs......use it...it works.

Thanks man. Yeah I didn't ask the question I meant to. Hahahaha. But I was going to ask how long did your non cased PE bulk take. I remember them taking a while but I'm on about 21/2weeks into the fruit stage & nothing yet. But, I think it may've taken about 20 days total so maybe I'm being a little impatient. But on the other hand my Escondido's are about to be on there second flush... Great mushroom btw. Plus my PFC classic is be a little slow on the upcome.

Okay, okay so I'm basically on the right track. I just need to hang on.

That's crazy, especially the last picture.

First flush, MS no casing (or eaten casing).

Second flush, MS no casing (or eaten casing).
First flush, Isolate or Clone with proper casing.

I believe I cased my first PE tub, but it wasn't done or consolidated properly. It was eaten by the dicks before fruiting.
There is no question. Most PE cultures need to be cased for best results. The clones and isolates blob just as bad as MS sometimes and also need to be cased. Maybe if you had a Mono culture you could run them without a casing? I Don't know.

Does casing help regular cubes? Like substantially? I've done about 7 small mini monos and never cased. Some quite weak flushes... Wondering if casing woulda helped abit.

I gather its jiffy mix seed starter? I've heard this before, I've just had a abundance of my other materials but since I'm no longer there. I'm in need of a quickie casing substitute. Probably pickup a bag tomorrow. Thanks again homies!

I've had heavy flushes with cubes without casing but I hear it's always a good idea. But penis envy thrives with a case. I'm just asking about the time frame in terms of fruiting PE without a casing layer.

The two flush I posted uncased took place over a months time... My PE culture is a nightmare without casing. Cased and consolidated correctly it takes a week to ten days for the flush I posted in the third picture...
I case with 50/50 peat/verm. Field capacity. pH buffer up to 7 or 8 with calcium hydroxide. I add a little gypsum and perlite too if I have it.
Everyone has their own casing method.

I've only ever casesenis Envy, I do not case my B+ and I get awesome flushes....I do not believe casing other varieties of cubes past PE is substantially important
B+ no casing:
