Problem, need some advice please
    #7768243 - 12/17/07 02:41 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Hey guys, I got a little problem on my hands,
I have a pint cake colonizing that's around 85-90% done.
I was planning to make a casing out of it using black cow compost, and giving it to a friend, who is growing some shrooms as well, to look after and harvest.
However, tomorrow I'm going away for 3 weeks for vacation and I'm wondering what to do with it.
If I make a casing out of the cake as it is now does it really have that high of a contamination risk?
If I just let it sit would it last another 3 weeks? Should I lower the temp if I do this? Right now its at around 84.
Perhaps I could give it to my buddy and have him make the casing when it's ready, but I don't know if I'm willing to take that chance since its the only cake I have right now that's almost colonized.

What would you experienced guys suggest?

Yeah you are Definetely In a sticky situation. You could try to only case the Colonized parts of the substrate, but You cant just case it all, you will Probably lose Your whole Harvest that way. I think letting it sit 3 More Weeks might result in pinning inside the Jar.

You will want to wait till 100% colinisation. I would stick it in the fridge, this should slow it down enough to be away for 3 weeks.
