Fruiting bulk substrate like cake (and cutting it in half first)
    #23764862 - 10/23/16 05:39 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Have a bulk grow in a container about 11w by 13L by 13H.  Sub depth is a little shallow, just about 3 inches (I usually do 3.5 to 4, will be doing so in very near future).  Important to note that there is no black liner but there IS 4 inches of black gaffers tape all around the bottom to block light (the very bottom center is clear, this lets me see if full colonization has happened). Lizard King cubes (fast colonizer!), no casing.  It's been about 9 days of fruiting, and no pins on the top yet.  However, peeling back the tape for a peek reveals a number of pins on all sides, some that will make it to the top for harvest, others that would have to be harvested as small shrooms before first dunk.

So I had a thought: raise it up a little on jars or jar lids in a larger container like a giant cake, then I get to harvest the sides, etc.  I have another 11 x 13 x 13 container set for mono tub action.  I thought maybe I could cut the 11 by 13 by 3 bulk sub in half (with sterilized knife), and split them into the two 11 x13 x13 mono tubs.  Cover the exposed cut area with wet verm. Fruit them like cakes.

If I did this, would it be best to: A) put each "cake" directly on bottom, just mist a lot to keep humidity up (less bulk sub in container, since it would be split in two, so I know less humidity. Or...

B) Elevate the two subs on jars lids or what not instead of just putting on bottom, mist extra to keep up humidity.  Or...

C) Put wet verm or perlite on bottom to hold extra humidity, then put the "cake" on jars or jar lids to keep it above the damp verm or perlite.

I've searched a bit, and still have not quite found an answer.  Also, I no longer have a SGFC, went the monotub route after a few trys with cakes.
