Hi so I used this method and got a brf jar about 85% colonized and then it got contam in the 15% uncolonized part. I took the cake out, cleared the uncolonized/ contammed part, sterilized the jar and put the cake back in the jar with fresh verm. I've been attempting to fruit using this tek but no luck after 2 weeks. Should I try a SGFC? Is this cake just done for? Any ideas?

I really hope those pins find their way to the top. It's so depressing watching pins abort while there's nothing you can do. I birthed 7 cakes to sgfc, I have 2 small monos incubating, and 3 cakes that are about 3 days from dunking. I am going to try the bag tek on them as an experiment. In the past, I would cut off good parts of contaminated cakes, break it up, mix it with gardening soil and pasteurized horse manure. I would put it all in coffee cans made to sgfc standards (holes), cover it with plastic wrap with holes in it. I misted every few days and just kinda pumped the plastic wrap up and down to fan. I think the most I got was 10 dried grains off one flush. Each can only had at most half a cake so I think the manure helped big time.

Mine looked just that. I popped them out and gave them more space.

I'm a little worried about getting them out . Once the top ones mature I'll be able to easily pick them but getting the cake out to remove all the side ones may prove to be tricky ... any tips on how to get it out with minimal damage to the cake ? Maybe break the jar ?

I only had a couple small ones growing from the top so I just picked them and ate them then bounced the cakes out. I couldn't take seeing them trapped in there like that.

My jar is just growing side pins well they aren't pins anymore they are full mushrooms growing around the jar which i find weird. I have a CV layer on top which i thought would help promote pins on the top but so far it hasn't, should i ditch the CV after this first flush? or add a new one but less? when should i harvest these also? because its hard to tell when they are mushed inside the jar like this. Thanks in advance!

So mine are starting to show some solid progress. I'm wondering though, do I still keep the bag over the top the whole time? What about when they grow big enough to touch the sides of the bag? I'm worried about damaging them as I put it on and off to fan/mist.

Since you have those short wide mouthjars they should pop out easy. Those pins look like they are still salvageable for growing normally.

So just let it go as it is? and just see if they pop out the top? i mean i didn't plan on doing much beside harvesting if i can ever tell when they are ready.

I was suggesting taking the whole cake out of the jar and letting the sides grow to full size. My cakes have only produced one or two small ones at a time so far. But you could harvest those now. I did one of those flat side pins this weekend that was half the size of my pinky and tripped a lot more than I was expecting. Almost the perfect amount.

Ahh well this morning before I left for work one had popped out of the top from the side and the big one on the side has gotten even bigger and the veil had broken you can see it in the glass. I will take pics when I get home and show you guys. If it's not to late I'll still pull it out maybe and let it fruit the rest of the way out of the jar

It'll probably be ready this evening or tomorrow morning. The whole thing should just pop out like birthing a cake.
