Cakes directly on perlite?
    #5549377 - 04/23/06 09:43 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Is it okay to place BRF cakes directly on the perlite in a terrarium? From pics I've seen, it seems like cakes that sit directly on the moist perlite end up exploding with mushrooms from the bottom. I was planning on placing them on foil but now I'm thinking they may go bareback if it improves flushing.

I would put them on foil from what I've heard. I personally use a mister w/ my FC(so there's no perlite) and have my cakes on wire mesh so their not sitting directly on the FC floor.

Hmm, I may put half of em on foil and leave the other half on the perlite and see if there's any difference in the end.

I'll save you a little suspense while you wait for a reply from a 9 year old thread. Place you cakes on foil or lids. Placing directly on the perlite will dry your cakes out.

Placing cakes on perlite won't dry them out, quite the opposite. They will try to colonize the perlite, waste energy doing it, and they will risk becoming water logged.

This is true, i did this, though, i laid down some flyscreen mesh ontop of the perlite, my cakes didnt seem anymore better off at all than when they were suspended in the air. the mushrooms also became totally waterlogged. myc and water do not appear to mix well.

IMO best way to go is make the top of the cake especially thick with verm so when you sit it on a surface you have that buffer. Plus it protects from contams too. If any liquid water winds up there its going to have less of an effect for sure too.

I used my metal lids, and the fuckin cakes colonized over the edges grabbing up random chunks of perlite... I like your idea there MP

thats just the cakes ontop of lids right?

Also did you even roll? or did you just pour fine verm over them while wet?
i like that way allot better than what im doing
