Do jars need to "consoilidate" before spawning to bulk?

1. Simple, do they have to consolidate or just be 100% colonized?
2. Is it preferable to consolidate or at least wait a couple days past colonization?
3. If I am ever forced to wait a few days to spawn, about how long can I wait without slowing the mycelium down when spawned.
Approx. window of opportunity?

I think with the results you're getting off cakes, you should just keep doing that.
But yes let consolidate.

4 cakes gave me a little over 3/4 of an ounce dry. Not happy. I am going to still do them to refine my cake tek, but I want to do some mini mono's

Typically, u consoldate *after* spawning and casing.
Consolidating is for cakes, not pre spawning.
Im curious what a pro grower says thou...

dont consolidate grain spawn, use it when its at its most aggressive.
for the future, rather trust the search engine, tc box ticked than advice given by randoms on the boards. this has been asked a bunch of times, if you wanna know the full reasoning behind consolidation ask TCs in the search engine.

I dont see where he does that but same goes for cakes, so it doesnt matter. spawn when the myc is at its most aggressive.

whenever i've broken up pf cakes before letting them sit for 3-4 days after the jars are totally white, there's always been a good portion of uncolonized brf in the center of the cake. Consolidation for cakes is preferable.

Which is what I said in my first reply to this thread.
I have cakes that have been consolidating for two months now....

I have 16 cakes that are beautiful. I will probably use them for 2 mini monos. I also have 12 quart jars that I G2G on Tuesday. Great looking recovery today, so those will probably go into monos soon two. This is all new area to me.

the OP was not clear about what jars were used 
But yes, consolidate PF jars before spawning cause colonizing the center of the PF cake takes awhile.

No you don't consolidate spawn weather it's cakes or grains you spawn as soon as it's ready consolidation is for fruiting substrates...if a cakes white on the outside it is inside.

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

the inside might look not so white, the bitch is definitely in there. When you break grains up its the same concept.

no it doesnt, myc grows in 3d, same speed every way so if you use 4 inoc points as the tek tells you to the center is colonized when the outside is white. consolidation doesnt mean "waiting for inside to turn white", consolidation means the myc is consuming nutrition from the grains/brf without fruiting being initiated.
I just wanna re-iterate, use the search engine if you're in doubt over these basic things.

i would like to see a photo of this.
I was under the assumption that when the outside of a cake is fully white, the inside is not quite all white but close, and consoldating completes the colonization while strenghtening the connections of the mycelium.

The inside is white but as soon as you cut or break it open the mycelium contracts making it appear less colonized.

We consolidate to let the myc digest a bit as cakes are very nutritious
