How do you keep track of different cakes in a single batch after birthing? * 1
    #25923133 - 04/08/19 12:58 PM (5 years, 9 months ago)

Say you've made a batch of 10 PF cakes and each one of them is different somehow: different strain, or maybe different quality of water, gypsum or no gypsum, etc. You want to keep a diary tracking the success or failure of each.

It's easy enough to keep track of them with labels while they're in the jars, but how do you keep track of them once they've been birthed? (E.g. if all 10 are swimming in the same soaking bucket after birth, prior to fruiting.)

The only idea I've come up with so far is to make a waterproof label attached to a heat sterilized wire and plunge it into each cake where it can survive the dunk & roll (and maybe even the fruiting.)

I'm betting there's a better way. How do you keep track of a bunch of different experimental cakes at once?

Yah, but if I have 10 different cakes floating around in the same bucket for 24 hours, I'm not sure how notes are going to help me figure out which was which...

(Which leads me to a second question: any reason to avoid soaking two or three different cube strains in the same bucket or bowl? Should each strain get its own private swimming pool?)

Shoot. In that case, the information is lost. Just make notes on the fruits of each strain for each cake and back-track to what u did for each strains.

Sorry I could have been more clear. If you were to soak all 10 cakes in the same bucket prior to putting them in the FC, how would you keep track of them? I'm really not up for having 10 separate soaking stations if I can avoid it.

Well it's not a matter of backtracking -- I haven't screwed up yet. (Not to say I don't have plans to screw up. I'm sure I have LOADS of screwing up in the future.)

Cakes haven't been dunked and rolled yet. So: any good way to keep track of which cake is which during dunking, short of giving each one a private dunking bowl? That's why I was thinking about the sterilized wire and waterproof label.

Sadly no. U cant tell strains by mycelium. Only by fruits and spores.

That tagging idea was good, too bad its too late.

Ya man, it's simple. Either dont do them all together, do them separately so they do not get mixed up:facepalm3:
Or you could put them in a cheese cloth or separate them into layers with paper towels when you soak, if you feel you must soak them together.:shrug:

Oh, not too late at all. Dunking won't happen for another 10 days or so. I'm planning ahead. I was wondering if anyone had a better idea.

ALSO.

I was wondering if anyone wanted to discourage me from dunking multiple strains of cubes in the same bowl, which is probably the more important question to be asking.

Maybe color code them with colored toothpicks during the soak? :shrug:

The worst that'll happen is you'll get them mixed up if they are at 100% colonization

Winner!

And for that second worry... Any reason not to soak different strains in the same bucket?

Focus on one solid differentiation at a time and have a standard "control" to compare against. Too many variables will make it very hard to gather discernible information from your experiment.

Draw out a "map" of your fc with names and notes. Like a garden or seedling tray map.

Y'all already figured this out, but:
