    #7387759 - 09/09/07 10:57 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Hey shroomery.
I succeeded in my pf cake style grow.
Now i wanna go fowrard for casing..

Here's a simple question.
I wanted to ask if i can Use a cake thats waiting for his second flush?
Is it okay if i crumble it for the casing?

Thanks :smile:

hmm i've cased a fresh cake, then dunked it afterward and it's still growing

and i've also failed at trying to spawn a cake after it's 4th flush

so i'm not really positive
but i think you could probably get away with it

just wait for someone more expert than i

Herbal,
I just did that exact thing I fruited a cake and dunked for the 2nd flush and instead for rolling I just crumbled and cased with MGMC. I wasn't sure if it would work either but it looks like this now seems OK

though I don't know if it is recommended
BTW this is my first casing just with plain verm, but this was a fresh cake

Well I don't know that it is exactly mandatory but I figure give it the best chance you can by adding more moisture after that first flush drained it. I just do 24 hours in a pint jar in a cool dark place held down with wire.

Cool. I might do it. Do I sterlize the water? and Can I case it as soon as I crumble it or should wait 24 hours?
Thanks :smile:

Nah I don't sterilize sometimes I do use distilled though but I've used regular tap too (our water here is pretty clean)make sure you rinse under the tap after the dunk to clear any loose verm/pins. A lot of people say to say to wait 24 hours to allow myc. to regroup after crumble which is probably good but I just cased right away.

I thought I would just show ya these
this is that casing I posted before just that it is looking good. It will probably start pinning soon

This is the results of my first casing with plain verm about 18g wet
not great but not too bad either give us an update when u have one Herbal.
