Hello all, this is my first post at Shroomery but I've been a long time browser. I've successfully completed a few grows of our favorite fungus. My dilema is this, my area is nearly devoid of any mushroom "vendors" so I would like to set up a perpetual operation to supply me and my buddies around 1 ounce dry a week (per flush).

The few grows I myself have completed were of the PF Tek variety grown in half pint jars. With my experience and from what I've seen on the forums 5-7g dry is about an average initial harvest, with around 15g total after subsequent flushes (I perfer dunking). Now dealing with 5g a cake I'd have to harvest 5 cakes a week too accomplish my goal. With the sheer number of cakes in earlier states of growth I'd be dealing with anywhere from 40-50 cakes to acheive my goal. One of my questions is would switching to a pint jar and innoculating more produce a cake yeilding 10g-14g per initial flush? There seems to be alot of debate as to whether larger cakes produce more or not, any experienced fanatics care to share their opinion?

My next question is about casing. I have never tried casing before, and perhaps I'm just slow but I haven't quite figured out one thing. Say you crumble your cake along a tin foil tray (or whatever container your using) and pour the casing mix along top. When it comes time to actually start fruiting the cakes do you remove the substrate from the tin foil container or fruit in the container soley? To me it would seem if one were to leave the cakes in the tin foil your yield would be lowered due to lack of growth along the sides.

Thanks for any answers, I appreciate it ahead of time.

Ask a non dealing question would be better. We dont need nor care what you do with them, but dont assist dealers.

1 dry ounce per week is a bit much for just you and your "buddies", wouldn't you say?  :tongue:
