cakes on jarlids or right on the perlite?
    #5307684 - 02/16/06 04:30 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I am planning to case a couple of my cakes in vermiculite and grow a couple as cakes. I see references to putting the cakes right on the perlite and others to setting them on jar lids. Which method works best? Or does it matter?

love, revbear

putting them on lids seems slightly more sanitary; but if you set it directly on the perlite, it can also absorb some moisture.

Yeah the lids I hear work fine, but others might have a different preference  :stoned:

Properly done cakes on lids are the way to go.

Definately put them in a lid filled with vermiculite. I don't let anything touch the perlite, shit is a bacteria trap even with H202 in it. Good luck man

Well, it looks like the lids is the way to go with the cakes, but I will use peat and verm in the casing. Thanks everyone for the good advice!

love, revbear
