Casing VS Cakes Potency
#4046937 - 04/12/05 04:44 PM (18 years, 11 months ago) |

I grew a bunch of mushrooms out of BRF cakes. They were unfortunately very very weak. The strain is Puerto Rican. When I posted about their weak potency, a lot of people said thats sometimes what you get when you grow with cakes. I am now doing a casing with the rest of my BRF cakes. For the top layer I used a combo of verm, coco coir, and oyster shells. Will the potency be better? I figure that since the substrate is the same, that the potency will remain the same. But hopefully I am wrong? Please tell me I am wrong. That they will be much stronger. Or at least lie to me and tell me that.

its hard to tell i would go bulk it isnt that hard and your shrooms will be very potent,it is because all of the nutes in poo,cakes no longer do it for me,and there is no since in crumbleling a cake and caseing it in my opinion it the same just more.

verm , cocco and oyster shells aka 60/40, or any casing mix dosent contain nutrients which increase your potency. switch to grains like rye to see more potent mushies. also spawn to poo for some that will knock yer socks off. hope that helps. so yea crubling cakes en casing them wont give you more potent ones, just more surface are to grow them on.

wbs works great. when you want to start thinking about pasturizing straw and/or poo it works even better as a spawn.

ya but the one thing for newbes when doing wbs is the water content so to be much easier with errors go with cakes till you get the hang of things it seems like you have no prob. with getting cakes to colinize with ease so just spawn that to poo and use a casing of your likeing and dude you will get some massive flushes and all the spawn does is colinize the poo all the nutes are in the poo and mushies love shit lol,sounds gross thou but its true.and in my opinion horse poo is whay better then cow poo by far.good luck just read,read ,read thats all you can do, trial and error

what's easier than: 1. soak wbs for 24 hours. 2. simmer on stove for 20 minutes. 3. rinse and drain. 4. load into jars. 5. pc.

but dude, if you soak for 24 hours (which is very simple) you'll get a water content that works...simmering opens up the grain a little more and makes things work perfectly but even w/ a 12 hour soak you'll get wbs in working order. IMO, using wbs is 10 times easier and cleaner than mixing up brf, verm, and water in appropriate parts.
