Keeping cakes moist when fruiting
    #5317582 - 02/19/06 07:41 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I read a teq that said that you could puncture a hole in the top with a sterilized nail 2' deep. And then put a sterilized 4' straw about into the hole. Once a day u can fill it up 1' with clean water. They said this would help create much larger fruits. Sounds correct to me, anyone tried this? Do you think it would work better or worse then dunking?

Make drugs legal, or alcohol and tobacco illegal. Either way it's more fair.

im a total newb with no growing experience, but i bet that this is a bad idea for two reasons:
1- putting a hole in the middle of the cake seems like it would make it a little more susceptible to contam
2-wouldnt dunking work better anyway since it would get the outside of the cakes moist more efficiently, and this is where you want the mycellium to spread the best?

I read a similar tek, but it involved inserting the straw into the BRF/verm PRIOR to sterilization. I think dunking your cakes for 24 hours would work better for completely saturating the cake. No need to complicate something as easy as PF cakes.

You should not have to add water during the Grow, besides spraying the casing layer.

The case, if properly prepared should have the moister that it needs.

im not doubting that it COULD work, but what benefits would this have over plain ol' dunking?

The only benefit I see is that you can just inject the water directly into the straw, rather than taking putting the whole cake in water. I would think that you'd have to squirt some water, wait for the cake to absorb it, squirt some water, wait.....

Plus you would have to guess when there is enough water in the cake, whereas with a dunk, you can just let it soak and then dab off the excess water afterwards.

I'm sure the straw deal works, but I think it just adds unneccessary steps to making PF cakes to accomplish the same objective as dunking them would achieve.

Advantages IMO= 0
