CAKE WARS III - Starts Sept 1, 2026! * 5
    #29610907 -

CAKE WARS is all about growing mushrooms using PF Tek and it's minor variations.

This post is a preliminary place-holder and save-the-date announcement for the commencement of CAKE WARS III, to start on Sept 1, 2026.  More details and announcements will be placed here as we get closer to the date, but for now, PREPARE FOR WAR!

Sept 1, 2026 - put it on your calendars. Stick a note to the refrigerator, the bathroom mirror, the dash of your car, and the front door to your home. CAKE WARS III will be an event not to be missed!

To help fan the flames a bit, here are two important reference links to our most recent prior CAKE WARS:

CAKE WARS I (Dec 1, 2025 - Apr 11, 2026)
CAKE WARS II (Apr 15, 2026 to Jun 30, 2026)


Half-pint (250mL) wide mouth jars are strongly recommended for speed, and one can always use jars of their own choosing.

For a good reference on the PF Tek, see Ziran’s Updated PF-Tek 2023

Another good resource is the Official PF Tek Cultivation Thread

You don’t mind that I plug the link for this in my grow log correct?

Since it was the driving force to learn this tech in the first place?

@SH - not at all - plug away & thanks!

I’m looking for 50 (five zero) participants…

Maybe we offer a special “RECRUITER” bonus prize for folks who successfully entice others to participate?  Maybe even add special hashes, chevrons, or clusters for multiple recruits, how bout that??

Oh, and I’m not necessarily MC-ing Cake Wars III, as that’s ultimately a decision for the CW II champion to make, but I’ll be happy to help however needed and able.

I've been preparing for this, to improve my entry from CW I.
I will have both wide and tall jars with spores from a print I grew and homemade flour from specially selected Brown Rice.
I'll be ready for battle whenever the first shots are fired.

You bet your ass I am in for this. Never done PF before, but was inspired to make some half pints based on splittinghairs' thread. One of them is almost fully colonized, so hopefully my first cake won't be on the battlefield.

Hell yeah! That makes me happy to hear!

And yup. lol. Wanted to not send my boot recruits out to the slaughter.  I realize now Yeti will not be a good strain for a competitive piece

Also I'm gonna be real, I'm just excited to make a flag for my cakes. Ever since I saw them in CW2 it's been on my mind.

I know I saw it in another thread… but do we need to wait to Sept. 1 to inoculate? Haven’t done this tek since I learned it here in 2006-2007ish and used steam to steralize…. Just to inoculate in open air :crazy: I bought everything I need, just need to plan my timeline.

Do some practice runs! I had never done BRF before and started messing with it at the tail end of CW2 and still had a couple cakes that could have made it in time. So would assume we aren’t allowed to inoculate until Sept 1

Count me in! Happy to see that the last one opened up to coir vs verm.

So inoculation itself would only happen on September 1st?
