Spent cakes for Bulk grow?
    #7217107 - 07/24/07 07:52 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Hey guys, I have 10 cakes all on their first flush right now. I was wondering what to do with them after they are done with their final flush. Would it be possible to do a bulk grow with with casing? or do you need fresh cakes for such a feat. I could also just plant them outside too maybe?

its hard to get the cake out of "fruiting mode" back into colonizing, so casing now wouldn't be your best bet. And no, Just planting doesn't work good also. Just Dunk and roll.

dunk and roll for how long, eventually the cakes wont produce anymore right? So do I just throw them out?

You can bury them. Probably won't fruit any more, but they might, just maybe, colonize. And it's got to be good fertilizer, too.

everything has a lifespan...after several flushes the mycelium colony just wants to die. reproduction/fruiting is a response to a life threatening condition. Foods running out, water is drying up, temps got colder...it's time to reproduce.

Same thing happens with humans, shortly after every major disaster there is a baby boom. WW1, WW2, Vietnam, 9/11...when bush was reelected. They've all caused the birth rates to spike momentarily...it's a genetic response to the possibility of the individual strain dying.

After the final flush, grind them up and use it as compost.
