Casing Question
    #5373597 - 03/07/06 09:15 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I plan on doing casing to increase harvest. but i have a question about contamination, what are the risks and if a part does start to mold will that contaminate all of my cakes that i have broken up? If i use say 12 cakes and one gets moldy thats a big loss if it spreads to through the casing. also has anyone used a way to spit up the casing by making a smaller portions by something solid splitting the casing in half's (if one goes bad the other side wont) would this effect the harvest amounts? - Thanks Mr.Mush (also iv have looked and could not find how much the average cake yields after the flushes are done in the casing method of dry shrooms.)

Make smaller casings... Use a better spawn (WBS), and spawn to poo.. and IME the contam risk is lower than with cakes. but yes, your casing gets contamed, the whole thing gets contamed.

if i were you i would just make a bunch of smaller casings like the above post stated. when you have things in the same fruiting chamber contamination will most likley spread anyway. as for dividers. just use smaller tin pans.

You must have a PC to use grains. While brf may not be as good as grain you can get good fruits with less equipment. Either buy a PC or go with PF style cakes.

ENJOY
