OP, AKA dark Mayan, youve read some really old info. Time to get caught up on some new reading that isnt outdated. I believe Inodule posted some links.

Hey OP I found this laying around my journal if you ever get into doing cakes yourself. Don't know how helpful it is but it's worth a read.


A SGFC is imperative. If you don't have perlite in your six-sided tote with 1/4" holes on all sides you may as well not do cakes.

Don't forget to:

1) Let your jars consolidate for 7 days after full colonization.

2) Remove your dry verm barrier under the faucet. Smell each individual cake if there's no visible contam.

3) Dunk the cakes in room temp water for 24h after birthing. Roll them gently in vermiculite. It doesn't have to be PC'd or anything special. Some people like to throw it in the oven on a flat baking sheet for awhile but it doesn't matter really. You can fill a salad bowl with it and gently take the cake out of your dunking pot, rinse it, throw it in the bowl and fluff verm on top of it. Wait 24h again after rolling in verm before you mist. It gives the cakes time to grab the verm, and when you begin misting, do the first few to where water droplets gall into your SGFC. Trust me it helps tons.

4) Put them on a 12/12 light cycle with a 6500k  (lumens)  CFL bulb. Fungi aren't plants nor animals and are phototrophic  (grow towards light) but not photosynthetic.

5) You may not get a distinct first, second or third flush. Usually cakes will do a 1.5 flush without a delineation.

6) When you dunk your cakes the second time, don't re-roll them in verm.

7) Fan, mist, fan. You don't have to wave it around like a lunatic or nothin, just scoop a little air out, mist, wave once or twice to initiate evaporation.

8) Mist your cakes directly. I try to hit front back and side to side lightly with a fine mist. Never spray fruits directly or they can turn into sad sacks of sloppy junk.

9) Buy a dehydrator. If you're going to grow them, at least finish the job properly.

10) Don't have a fan blowing at your shotgun fruiting chamber. At some point you may have to rehydrate the perlite. If such is the case, remove the cakes and gently set them aside. You can use your misting bottle as you turn the perlite over itself while you mix. Wearing a latex glove makes it world's easier.

11) Keep the Shotgun Fruiting Chamber  (SGFC) elevated 4-6" so air can move through the perlite from underneath and provide FAE  (fresh air exchange)  to your cakes.

12) You can use upside down jar lids instead of foil. Standing water in a SGFC in open air is never a good thing.

13) Keep your cakes clustered together if you have just a few cakes but have a big chamber. It helps maintain a suitable microclimate as a pinning trigger (much like the "casing layer" you created when you rolled the cake). That 1-2mm microclimate on the surface of your cake is incredibly important, and why delaying misting for 24h is my recommendation. Some people underestimate how important it is and end up misting all of it off, causing uneven growth along the cake, or a lower yield & so on and so forth.

Much appreciated Adden.  While there's always jewels to be found within the grains - it's obvious there's no sole way to harvest psilocybin.  Techniques are to be followed - but the experience they provide is of more value if you're conscious of what you're doing & learning why certain things are suggested.  Then you can get innovative.  All that info is helpful thanks

It was from within this darkness that I found light - my light - yet again.  It was w/ the aid supplied from the medicine of ancients which rejuvenated my soul.  The love & gratitude had been within me all along - all that was needed, was a catalyst...
