Shakable PF Cakes (5 day colonization)

If I were to sterilize some cakes, take them out of there jars (in a glove box) crumble them out of there cake form into basically shakable grains would this speed up the process to 10 days or less like most grains? At least a lot less time than normally needed? Also could I only put half the water content normally added to the pf tek, sterilize, then add enough lc to account for the missing water (preventing an incorrect water ratio)?
With these two things combined could you completely colonize a jar/combination of many jars in less than 5 days?

The consistency of PF cakes makes it almost impossible to crumble them in to shakeable pieces, it will just stick together as soon as you let it settle. Just use an LC and good gas exchange if you want to speed up the process using the PF tek. Using 4ccs of LC in each jar, I've had half pint jars colonize in 5 days.

hrm. i suppose, that the first issue you want addressed...could theoretically be done. though the whole procedure would have too many vectors to allow new contaminates in. and yes, thats even accounting for the glove box. I'm sure it _could_ be done, dont get me wrong..just that it'd be hard, compared with splurging on a good pc, and investing in a type of grain to begin with.
as for the second issue, you really shouldn't have to inject more than, say, HALF a cc of LC into each inoculation point. i think altering the formula would cause more hindrance than it would solve. just sounds like you're adding too much LC to the pf jars, if you're having moisture problems on the wetter side, for the substrate.

Are you saying it could still contaminate in a glove box? I don't understand how? I figured if I wore gloves sprayed down my glove box with Lysol it'd be damn near 100% contam free....

well I figured if I want to accurately put less water in and make up for it with lc, the pf tek would be best

The only thing that is guaranteed to be CONTAM./Spore free....Is a damn clean room 
GB's are more sterile...But not 100%.

You could do that...But regardless...

yes, damn near id agree but, lets say a hypothetical jar had a 100% contam free life. by taking it out of the jar, in even aseptic conditions, you might give that contamination lurking the .0001 chance it needs to find its way into uncolonized substrate. most ppl prefer to leave it in the jar until its done, less chance of fuckups.
as for altering the formula, minute changes wouldnt make much of a difference. and i suppose it'd work for this case. and yea, you're right, better to alter a pf jar than something else.

Why go through all the trouble for a PF cake? The point of using a 1/2 pint jar is that the myc will colonize the substrate more quickly. Using chunkier verm, chunkier rice, incubating at the proper temps and inoculating with an LC will dramatically speed things up without the increased contam risks involved in crumbling a partly colonized cake.

also if your are spraying shitloads of lysol in a GB when crumblings cakes in there your gonna end up with some fucked up mutants. im talking ninja turtles here.

just put the brf/pf mixture in mycrobags and knead the bags at 30% colonization to spread the mycellia just like shaking jars of grains.

The last set of jars I made, I shot all but one with 4ccs LC, and one with 7ccs. The 7cc jar colonized the quickest. Keep in mind however, i made the substrate slightly drier. Because LC is so easy to come by (making in rather large batches) I would suggest at least 4ccs highly.

I posted a thread about this a long time ago. You can do Pf substrate in a quart jar with a tyvek or poly fill filter. Just fill the jar halfway up. Believe it or not if the the substrate is properly made and mixed it will shake fine in the jar. Maybe there will be a couple small clumps but that doesnt matter.
Somebody try it besides me!

sorry, don't want to try it.
pf jar fast colonization for me:
chunkier verm in substrate fine verm on bottom for soak up and on top for filter 25% of water content is fresh brewed and cooled coffee substrate is made slightly dryer than recommended inoculate with 7cc's of Liquid Culture per jar
Boom, no need for any more speed than that.
Otherwise.....
Use Grains.

no we do.
my guy was a "kill em with kindness" response.
I got what you were saying. And you're for sure right. There is no right way to do this, per se, and my comment was a bit out of line.
Someone should try it, better yet I should try both side by side and see which one is better so that I can give an informed response, not one like I did.
thanks for setting me straight, I need it semi-frequently.
