Perfect BRF cakes - now what?
    #7712693 - 12/03/07 08:10 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I have 6, 1/2 pint cakes. 3 B+ and 3 MAZ. this is my first attempt and they are perfectly solid white, beautiful looking cakes. I am ready to birth these guys and i was hoping to get some advice. I have read of so many different teks and opinions and im not sure what's accepted as the latest, best methods to maximize harvest.

my initial plan was to do the dunk and roll tek and sit them on about 6 inches of wet perlite with 95% RH and about 74 degreed F. Is this still considered a good beginner approach to fruiting the BRF's? Is there something I should be doing to maximize fruiting? Like breaking up the cakes or anything?

Sorry if this is too broad of question, but im really stoked that I got 6 non-contaminated cakes on my first go and really want to munch on some MAZ fruits :smile:

first of all welcome and congratulations you've come very far.

what i would say is, since you already have brf cakes, why not just leave them as such and birth them?

dunk them and i like to just put verm on the top of the cake after you dunk it because all you do is stick it in the verm and you dont have to get all grainy and shit.. wait for it to dry and stick on the cake then spray the top of it down really good it'll help out with moisture.

feel free to case some of your cakes or use them to spawn.. the possibilities are endless.

really depends how much work you want to put into it. if you are just wanting some personal, then you could just do cakes because they have pretty good yield, but if you are looking for more then check out monotubs and casings and everything like that. casing is a good idea.

ok im goin back to writing my paper..

oh, and you dont need 6 inches of perlite.. maybe just one or two and you'll be fine!

I hate to pull you away from you paper and i know i could find this information out for myself if I had the patience to do so but...since you were so helpful, perhaps you would be willing to help me out here. casing is where you break up the cake in a manure/hay mixture to increase yield, correct? would you recommend just sticking to the pf tek for my first attempt and see what im able to yield? would it be possible to harvest a dry ounce from 6 cakes? that would be enough for many a backpacking trip...

dunk in sterile water for 24 hours...completely submurged. then roll in vermiculite. put in FC, mist after 15 minutes or so...get that verm layer wet....

i actually put 2 coats of verm on mine. works great.

sounds good. i live in the rocky mountains where the nights are cold! the room temp of my place is probably cooler than most. what would you suggest doing to achieve the ideal fruiting temperature in the FC? Are there any cool tricks you know of?

what you were talking about is spawning and that's good too.

casing is pretty much crumbling the cake then putting something like 50/50 or perfect mix or coconut coir (coconut shavings) over it mixed with vermiculite and other things.. there are many ways to do it.

i cased with just vermiculite and it worked.. try that.

wanna show your appreciation? leave me some rating points when you get fifty posts.

thanks. bye

Do you have a utility closet with your furnace and water heater? Or at least a room where those two apparati (?) are? That's where I keep my jars as the closet stays about 81-83 all day.

If you want to get the most bang for your buck from those cakes, spawn those bad boys to a bulk substrate. You aren't going to get a dry ounce from 6 cakes on your first go. However your odds are substantially higher if you go bulk. It's not as hard as all that. Crumbling and casing them isn't hard either, but some say that your yields won't increase enough to justify doing it.

The easiest way to get enough for you and some friends would be to dunk and roll, and optionally put a layer of verm on the top of the cakes like this guy does here:

This is a 2 year old thread.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists & will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.
