Addicted to brf's.... 1

This is why I like brf's so much:

They're stupid easy, fast, and the yield is very efficient in a HC . And they can look impressive too. This chitwan is from the same syringe that produced some crazy, fat-assed shrooms. My 1st cake, 1st flush was 94g from a 210g cake. Not sure why some of the cakes' pins insist on all growing DOWN. Humidity is plenty high.

They grow down probably from the light reflection off the white perlite. Nice cake!

I'm... not seeing the draw. Have you tried other methods or are you just addicted to the first material you got down? Not trying to downplay your happiness here, I just personally wouldn't be too satisfied, given my relative needs.

It's a fair question.
I like the efficiency and flexibility of growing smaller quantities of what I like. I can, and do, get about 140g wet from 2 good flushes, which ain't bad for a 5 ounce brf! I've opined on this before, so won't go into details. Hydration/soaking is critical!
Senile brf's get soaked/grated up into 100% coir shoeboxes, but these seem slow and unconvincing so far.
The year is young!

I'm about to start some brf cakes (first time ever) just because I don't want to do agar work for 2 syringes I have and don't have the time for (just want some fruits for prints).. brf definitely has its place in mycology.. fun stuff

Try adding a few drops of unsulfured molasses to the water when you make your cakes. Karo syrup would probably work too....

Shred your cakes and go to bulk with coir in a shoe box, you’ll have a lot of fun with that. You can get 5 boxes for $5 at dollar general. First flush gets 2 or 3 times more wet weight than a cake.

Agreed, all the pro's seem to forget where they came from. Even if your first grow was a badass monotub that you started on agar you certainly didn't just pull it out of your ass.
To the OP sorry for threadjacking! Congrats on your cakes man and I'm so happy for you and your adventure into this exciting hobby!!!
