I definately recommend casing. I cased 4 cakes, and so far I've gotten much better results than the cakes I birthed.

what did u case them with? my friend don't have a pressure cooker either if that matters any. just getting started learning and so far he got 2 mushrooms of the cakes! but they weren't dunked after birthing . so ow he dunked and rolled in verm with a double end case so hopefully he gets more and better sized shrooms. he seen the straight verm casing and that seems better than regular cakes. he don't wanna use poo or anything either.

fungi it took my friends 24 to 30 days! he used fine verm tho. now this time he used medium verm and also he adds one pill of bee pollen crushed up to the regular pf tek recipe. on ralphsters spores it says its a quick colonizer but maybe its the fine verm? thats why he is trying the medium this time to see if its quicker but now he has either tazmanian, bang phang ka, orrisa india and "a" strain. just what to choose lol. bang phang ka is said to ahve huge fruits and so is orrisa but he wants to be able to learn to case 1st and a strain says its easy to fruit and also tazmanian i hear good things about. hard to choose! any ideas guys? he was gonna try a straight verm casing thise time tho as he reads that 50/50 peat needs lime or oyster shells? all he wants is enough shrooms for 3 of us to trip good! its a first time for one my cousin! hopefully we can get enough for a good time or a few more!!!

My cambodian jars colonized in ~14 days at 75 degrees. Medium verm.
I cased with MGMC, pasteurized in a cooler at 160 degrees for an hour.
edit: This casing is Texas though, not Cam.

hey kickle. so sorry for being a noob but what u basically are saying is u use just miracle gro moisture control? do u add anything? if not all u do is heat at 160 for a hour or so? then use just mgmc?? or do u use verm? i hear u use a 1/2 inch of moist verm on the bottom. then your cakes broke or sliced and spread out . then a 1/4 inch casing layer? how many cakes did u use also per casing? yours looks awesome please help. do u got a link to your gro or anything so i can read up on it? my friend just wants to have a good yield. oh ya he also used the fine verm for the top layer as we heard medium an invite contams so its medium verm cakes with a fine verm top layer

I add 1/2 tablespoon lime per cup of MGMC to balance out the Ph, but you don't have to. Plenty of people use it straight out of the bag.
Don't bother with the half inch of verm underneath your spawn. RR says it doesn't add anything, and is more of a hassle.
I just crumbled cakes until I had a 4" substrate depth, then added 1/2" of casing. Feel free to experiment around. A deeper substrate adds more nutrients. While a shallower one allows you more surface area.
Read Hyphae's pinning strategy, it helps loads!

Also, if you have plenty of cakes to play around with, you might look into spawning to coir and then casing.

If the verm on top of the cakes starts to get dry you can mist it VERY carefully as to not get any fruitbodies wet, and it will help to increase the size of fruits and of the flush in general.
Other than that...looks great, man!
