casing vs cake in grams- my first experiances
    #6250933 - 11/05/06 06:30 PM (17 years, 4 months ago)

I had 14 cakes- I did everything to the cakes to see if anything improved yield.  These are pf half pint, with rye flour (couldn't find brf at walmart) and vermiculite.  B+ strain, incubator was a tit set at 85, fc was a tit with a tropic air for air exchange and hydroton for humidity help.  Fanned every now and then maybe twice a day. FC temp 74/ rh 95% indirect sunlight just left shade up during the day.
I dunked everything.
I left a couple alone after dunk
I dunked and rolled
I dunked and set on wet verm.
I cased top and bottom with wet verm.
and I took one cake and crumbled it and cased it in vermiculite- layered moist vermiculite on bottom/ crumbled cake and topped off with probably 1/4 inch of verm on top

nothing fancy just cause I am a noob and I didn't want anything too complex.

EVERY single cake gave me the same yield on all flushes- within .2-.3 grams!  Didn't matter what I did they all gave me a little over 3 grams first flush, 3 grams second flush, 2 grams third flush (dry weight).

The casing on the other hand has given me 8.5 dry grams first flush and second flush still to come.  I know for a casing this is nothing but it was my first and I used what I had on hand... which happened to be verm.  There are more mushies growing and I think the second flush will be equal to the first.

So I guess this is just another post telling you noobs that casing gives you more yield for your effort ime.  one flush gave me what normally takes 3 flushes... 3 flushes takes at least 2-2.5 weeks of your time.  I will now be switching to casings.
:discodance: casings are cool

I've done around 3000 1/2 pints PF style over the years.Have average 3 to 4 dry grams per cake. Some have been up to 8 grams. This was with rye grass seed and rye flour mix. BRF did not produce as good of potency(IMO).

I have produced up to 14 grams dry on cakes using horse poo water and rye grass seed and great potency. However I had a 50 to 60 % contam rate with this method.

Keep experimenting.
