What to do with 100ml cake
    #27064173 - 11/30/20 08:37 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hello all, my first brf cake looks fully colonized. The problem is, it's a 100 ml jar cake, so really small. My other jars seem something like 2 weeks behind.

I don't think I want to build the SGFC for this tiny cake alone (perlite is somewhat expensive here, and I believe I must replace it after some time), so I don't know what to do with it.

Many thanks for any recommendations!

you could try making a mini fruiting chamber out of a 2L bottle or something similar

you could also bust up the cake and spawn it to a small container with some substrate, I've seen some users use tupperware and all sorts of other shit to fruit from.

Though so.

What would be the right size for the container?

And what substrate, coco coir + vermiculite?

How many holes do I need in it?

Just fruit it out of the jar. Put a ziplock bag over the top as a humidity chamber.

Do I need to make holes in the ziplock? What about misting/water in general?

Thank you Wizard Pepe!

It says make some 'slits' in a ziplock and mist often, which I can do and I think I'll try it. I'll let it consolidate for a week before though I think.

Although, the idea of mini SGFC (like a 5l bottle) is also interesting.

You can grate it up, add coir and spawn to a tupperware box. Say you add an equal volume of hydrated coir (you can add more, I just eyeball it with such small amounts) you'd need a tub of awith a volume of 1-2 pints. Depends on the shape of the tub though, a tub thats got a bit of height would be better than one thats too short.



Fruiting it inside a plastic bag is probably the simplest way to do it though. Only mist when needed. When it comes to shrooms there is such a thing as too much love and disturbing the cake's environment too often could delay fruits.

Thank you for your advice Tattersail!

I wonder if I can use 1 liter glass jars instead of tupperware?

Do I need to sterilize the coir?

The biggest question though is what does 'when needed' means - I mean, it will be in a bag, probably will be a lot of condensation, so how do I know when to do it?

You could try to slurry it and inoculate more jars.

I imagine you could use glass jars just fine. They can be tricky to harvest from though, unless your hand fits inside the jar.

Coir doesn't need to be sterilised, or even pasteurised. For such a teeny amount it's probably not worth the effort. I just hydrate coir with warm tap water and have had no problems with that. There's a few coir teks about if you want to check them out, but most involve hydrating a whole coir brick and you only need a small amount.
