This might be the dumbest question ever asked.... merging cakes?
    #5789715 - 06/25/06 03:51 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Ok, I like casings and cakes but I want to try something different. Has anyone ever made a giant cake or made a pile of cakes? Wouldn't they grow together and form a giant cake? I know they would have to be the same strain. Bigger cakes = more nutes = large shrooms right?
I was thinking of taking 4 cakes and dunking/rolling them. Then I was going to stack them like a pyramid. Then maybe sprinkle a little extra casing material on top... Is this a bad idea?

Please give me your advice, or tell me I'm a dumbass.  :tongue:

why not just case them?

i mean if your going to mash them into one thing, make a casing right?

Why not just crumble them and reshape them into a big ass cake?

I want to do something different. I already have two big casings. I have some extra cakes. I was not planning on mashing them. Just stacking them were they are all touching. Whats the worst that could happen?

I dunno, nothing really

but casings are the best IME

I think I did 3 or 4 cakes then just cased the rest, more weight than cakes :thumbup:

i don't think its a bad idea at all. but its essentially what ur doing when you make a casing. you can dunk before u case. it will grow large shrooms.

i agree with the guy above if you do the pyramid take pictures

If I understand well your cake pyramid idea, fahtster already did it! Cake simply pins from side, it's logical. It seem a great idea for saving space! It would probably even work with more stage

yes you can stack cakes on top of each other and they will fruit from the sides.

be sure to put something in between them (foil) or gravity is going to pull water from the top cake to the bottom one, water logging the bottom one and drying out the top... this leads to a poor flush on the top and almost certain contam's on the bottom one.  a little tip: if you have a water logged cake, just let it sit out for a few hours until it drys a little, this will help combat the contam's. :smile:

Casing works so well because there's a large surface area to volume ratio for your shrooms to grow on. The bigger your cakes are, the less able the shrooms are to absorb the nutrients inside the cake. It's the same reason why we're made up of billions of tiny cells, rather than just a few big ones.

im betting you'll get most of your pins on the "interior" areas of course unfortunately where they have the least room to grow.. just a hunch but try it and see.

I'm doing a very similar thing to this in a tall aquarium. Cakes should be done in about a week also. How are you setting up your FC?
