Coffee! Cafeine Dunk
    #7421948 - 09/17/07 11:16 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

my jars are almost colonized...from what the pf tek says wait a week until you start to fruit because IF you case its going to take about a week until it starts to pin anyways, is this true?

I hear dunking in cold coffee solution makes it pin and fruit bigger and a lot faster...how should I do this? I read about it and am just not sure

I wouldnt dunk in coffee since then there would be nutes on the outside of the cake and more likely to contam.Dunk in normal tap water for 10-20 or so hours.

As said, dunk in plain water, not coffee.

We wait a week after full colonization for all substrates, because it allows the mycelium a chance to consolidate its hold on the substrate. If you give the mycelium a chance to eat and digest its food before pinning, the performance is better than if you initiated pinning right at full colonization.

If you'll be spawning or casing the cakes, waiting a week after full colonization before breaking them up is not necessary.
