Casing experience needed
    #3883085 - 03/07/05 02:56 PM (19 years, 25 days ago)

this is my first time, should I wait and just fruit my cakes, or should I do casing? Just wondering, why is it more dangerous to do casing, I know you can catch contams but once the mycelial is colonized shouldn't it be strong enough to fight off the contams? What are the chances of getting contam? 50/50?

The methods I've been reading about are:

thanks.

id imagine the increased chance of contams is because fo crumbling the cakes, which u dont have to do you can always leave them whole and case them like that but idk wut the chances are of getting contams that would be hard to figure out to an acurate measure

Contams in a casing are more likely to come from your casing layer itself, not the substrate. Crumbled or whole, colonized material is very resistant to contamination. Any and all issues I've ever had with contaminated casings were from the casing LAYER itself, not the substrate. Peat makes a better casing layer, but it is more prone to contamination then coco coir. This is my experience.

With that said, I'd recommend casing. It's easier to achieve the humidity needed to pin a casing (90%) then try to fruit a stubborn cake and mess with those lava rocks or that awful perlite.

mix the verm with water, put it in jars and pc or boil for a while, or better yet mix up your whole casing layer (50/50+ or whichever) unless ure casing in verm alone, in which case that would be ure whole casing layer, and then sterilize in jars

its a ratio of 1:4 so if u have a 1 inch layer of substrate then yes you would have a 1/4" casing layer
