An Interesting Way To Recycle Old Cakes
    #5131740 - 01/02/06 03:50 PM (18 years, 29 days ago)

Ok,

So i found an intersting way to recycle old cakes. I had about 15 spent PF Cakes. They were small and hard. Each cake had been dunked and produced 3 flushes a piece. When it was time to get rid of them, i decided to try something.

I took a big bucket and put all the cakes in it. I then dunked in cold water for 24 hours. After the 24 hour dunk period, i broke the cakes apart with my hands into an aluminum tray. All of this was done in very non-sterile conditions. No cleaning of any sort was done. I didn't really expect anything to happen.

Anyway, once i broke them up into the tray, i just smoothed it out real good and threw it right into my fruiting chamber. I misted daily and nothing happened for a good week. After two weeks i had quite a few big ass pins. They grew very slowly, but got pretty big.







The biggest fruit there in my hand was 58.5 grams!



This obviously didn't produce a huge flush, but i'm more than happy considering i was going to throw the cakes away. I'm still drying the flush, so i don't know the final weight. But i'm expecting to get pretty close to a full ounce.

BTW, for those who may be wondering, the strain was Stropharia. Try it out and have fun!

About five years ago, I was growing some bud, I buried a spent cake in a pot with a plant. I didn't expect anything, and about 4 days later or so I had 3 giant mushies growing right out in the open air under a 400watt HPS lamp. I took a beautiful picture of it with the plants, but I have since lost it! Wish I still had that pic!! :frown:

Cool. Did you case your spent cakes with anything, or just spread them out in the aluminum tray?

sounds like cakes even after many flushes still hold some strength . if broken up and mixed with enough cakes it could restart ?? hm

Did you dunk between the original cake flushes or just the one big 24 hour dunk before you spread them out together?

Before i first birthed the cakes i dunked them for 24 hours. After that i did not dunk between flushes. The next dunk was before i broke them up.

when putting those cakes togehter sterility isn't as big of an issue because the mycelium can somewhat protect itself by that time.
