When to birth cakes?
    #5513279 - 04/13/06 06:38 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Hi I'm on my first grow, and have been following the "Simple cubensis growing technique" in the Basic cultivation guides. This tek recommends birthing the cakes 1-2 days after the BRF jars have become completely colonized.

However, I've alse been reading the PF Tek and the "PF Tek For Simple Minds", and they instruct to birth the cakes AFTER pinning occurs while the cakes are still in the jars.

Wondering which technique is best here. I'm hoping to have a 'birthday' later next week!!

well both ways work but before you birth the cake make sure it is fully colonized. when you think it is fully colonized... wait a day and then birth. what strain are you growing??? good luck.

I've got 4 half-pint jars of B+, and 4 jars of Z-strain. The Z-strain is colonizing faster than the B+.

So you recommend NOT waiting until there are pins in the jars before birthing the cakes?

I would wait until pins show up, then remove the pins, dunk and roll, and place in your FC
