How many grams?
    #7890590 - 01/16/08 09:56 PM (16 years, 16 days ago)

Hiya, I was just wondering about how many grams(or even pounds?) of mushrooms would you get out of just 6 1/2 pint substrate jars?

what do you mean 1/2 pint substrate jar? A brf/vermiculite jar? Or a 1/2 pint of colonized wbs? Or a 1/2 pint of colonized rye.

I would think that 6 1/2 pints would get you close to 2 pounds dry once all said and done

Too many variables too answer your question.

Some say each cake will produce 1-1.5 gram dry.

But I've had one of my cakes flush dry into 4 grams cracker dry, of course my flush weighed 49 grams wet(from the single cake).

It all depends on nature and nurture, if you follow your tek and you keep your cakes in the right growing/fruiting conditions you should be happy with your results.

PS it also depends on your substrate, I use WBS to fruit cakes(not stepped up to casings just yet)..what exactly do you plan on using?

im lost, you show me 6 cakes producing 2 pounds dry and ill show you mermaid pussy pics. Even if you had grains that is still a stretch id think.

and i think the other people answered what you meant. But word for word the answer to your question......

Ok thanks guys, just one more question I no 1/8 is like 3.5 grams so what would 1/8 be dry?

At best .0125 grams.. What a trip that would be huh.......

Uhh, do elaborate, please? I don't think we should give out bum information or blow smoke up peoples asses like some grow kits IE "will produce 2 lbs of dry mushrooms within X amount of time", BS. If you have a logical explanation for your post I would like to hear it. Unless you meant spawning them, but I think the OP was just fruiting cakes. Correct me if I am wrong OP.:peace:

Either way is great but I prefer fresh most times.

Up to you really, my sister won't eat the fresh because of the taste.

Personal preference.

EDIT: Dry if you want to keep them for a bit, maybe to wait on a second flush. You can also add fresh shrooms to the fridge for keeping in a brown paper bag, although they start decomposing from the time they are picked, so always check on them in the fridge(well I do) just to make sure that they are not spoiling. Hope this helped..

they say they are more potent fresh. but i think if you correctly dry them then they should be the same. All your doing is taking the water out of the mushrooms. But without scientific analysis we can only go on word.

So that means give false information? I see people get flamed all day long because they post misinformation accidently. And here is a so called "old hand" blatantly misguiding a young shroomerite.

Maybe he was being greedy by wanting to know, but maybe he just simply wanted to know what the outcome of his time and money would get him. Some users the way they act towards newbs pisses me off, just because you were new to this long ago, doesn't mean you should manipulate and be a total prick about newb questions. I guess I'd prefer not to post as someone to view me as a liar. But as I see that's only my point of view. :peace:

Three pounds.

I can't stand it when people ask how much they're going to get off cakes... It just seems like people trying to get the last drop of dope out of their cottons.

I lurk to continue learning about mycology in general. These 'cake and yield' posters are a dime a dozen in comparison to the true mycological assets on this board.

yeah us noobs do sometime get treated a lil retarded but then again sometimes we do. Anywho RetroVirus

ive only done two grows. Both with cakes. My first was a disaster only 2 out of 8 cakes made it fruit. They were pink buffalo all together i came out with 4 dry grams. But know on the flip side my recent grow was 2 jars hit up with Brazilian. I had 2 flushes and came out with 12 dry grams. That just goes to show how different the numbers can be. The littlest upset in any one condition can put a serious hurting on your harvest.

brf has never been a disappointment for me and my grows.

As for grams that depends on
the strain you are working with.
I get around 100-120 wet grams workin
with TC off 3 pint jars (aka 6 half pints).
I usually get about 20-30 wet grams more
with B+. (120-150)

There's no need to be a dick. Jesus, the "true mycological assets on this board"? Get off that pedestal; you're a hobbyist just like he is. New growers come here for help and answers to the nagging questions we've had, and then we have to put up with your ego.

It was a valid question. Instead of saying "go read more, you're not worthy of my answer" you could just say "well it varies by your tek and materials. what's your setup and we can help further?" or just don't say anything at all.

God damn, I understand the need for forum etiquette but there's no need for 'veterans' being assholes. It goes completely against the things mushrooms try to teach people.

Perhaps you can be kind enough to allow the staff here to do our own moderating chores? It's awfully hard to defend when someone asks how much a glass jar will yield, without even a hint at what's INSIDE the jar, or "I no 1/8 is like 3.5 grams so what would 1/8 be dry?" as if 3.5 grams of feathers somehow weighs more than 3.5 grams of lead.

Somebody seriously needs to study up, and at least do a bit of proof-reading prior to entering a post. Reading and searching for knowledge is how one learns. Nobody learns by turning off their brains and expecting to have information poured into their head by others, the way we pour water from a pitcher.

I agree... to disagree to some degree..:)

I agree almost whole heartedly with your statement..Except, not everyone learns the same way. Some do it by asking specific questions and some do it by retaining the knowledge from literary guidance. And although his question wasn't proof-read, a few of us still understood his question. I honestly don't believe that the OP believes that a ton a feathers weighs more than a ton of horse shit, which is exactly what you'll get if leave it up to some of the older members to greet new and eager newbies, the banner says Mushrooms Demystified.. yet  alot of the questions are met with cold shoulders and just bad karma all around..I'm just adding to the discussion this was in no way meant to offend anyone, especially you RR..I try to read every post you enlighten, but if we keep heading in the other direction, we are only going to be a cult of smug assholes, instead of a growing community who reaches out to members with the same interests as we have.
