Little update, things are really taking off. There a couple nice bunches and one big chunker. Got another cake in 2 days ago. 4 more to follow soon, will probably dunk those cakes tonight.

I have been using half of a large water jug to make the size of my tub a little smaller and it seems successful so far!

I finally have a cake from the Golden Teacher #1 jar, dunked and rolled. The other jars are colonizing at a snails pace.

Damn that's a nice roll!

I have trouble getting the verm to stick to my cakes as well as you did.

@COGrower - yours are tall full-pint cakes, yes?

I did the short/wide half-pint jars and counted 32 days from innoculating with spores to birthing the cakes. From my first PF tek grows, I kind of remember full-pints feeling like they took a lot longer, it was just a feeling.

How does that compare with what yours have taken? Just curious about how much/little difference there may be.

The good news for me was they pinned very quickly after birthing and then full fruit right away as well! Looking good!

Could a piece of verm ever interfere with a pin forming? Like what if a piece of verm was perfectly balanced on the head? Would this cause it to abort or is the mycelium smart enough to grow between the grains?

Just trying to understand how tough it would be for a verm layer to interfere with primordia formation, if used as a casing layer. I have seen grows successful with verm as casing, and I think this could be a cleanish possibility for casing in my jars for Panaeolus. I have been trying a jar and I think I may see a pin buried in mycelium on the side but it hasn't moved for several days and I'm not sure if the head of the pin is actually just a piece of verm.

They are 8oz jars. They are progressing slowly.

Nah, the pins will push through verm no issue.

The first flush of my third cake came out really nice!

I forgot to take pics of cakes one and two. I've got them back in the tub now. No pins yet, but I can feel them brewing :wink:
