update w/pics, smelled sour after dunk...

this is a repost, I'm an idiot and posted it in the wrong forum... sorry everyone...
I soaked them over night and the smelled sour after I crumbled them so I bleached em and cased them against RR's advice... but I figured it would be a learning experience. Anyway... it's pinning pretty darn well and looks like its gonna be a decent flush but I got some damn trich (I believe...it was blue/green and fuzzy on the top with a white ring around it... the whole thing was about dime size. I heated up a spoon and took out about 4 cubic inches of substrate and filled the spot with my experimental mix of verm/baking soda 60/40 (I thought maybe the salt in it would help prolong the sporulation of the mold) and wet with a 150:1 bleach/water solution... I'm gonna toss it after the first flush but I'm hoping it can stay at bay for the remaing 3 or for days of the flush this is my second grow ( skipped trying cakes) and this is WAY better than my last pinset... I only got like 5 dry grams off of my first casing... and the shrooms were TINY due to a shallow substrate but hey... it's a learning curve...

Thanks galadar, Yea I wasn't sure if they were or not, alot of people told me to toss them but I said screw it and tried anyway. I guess I made the right choice.

just make sure you run under cold water when taking it out from the dunk. then let drip, and case again

Thanks for the advice man, I think I'm gonna try spawning some bulk substrate next. Do you you know a link to a good easy to follow tek?

well theres 3 main bulk sub materials you wanna try to find first. horse manure, straw and coir.
horse manure and straw are the cheapest. coir is a bit expensive but very very available in metro areas.
recipes vary alot with your ingredients, many people like to mix up the ratios. this guy i know only has experience with coir and told me that when using coir, make sure 20% of that is brewed coffee grounds, because coir lacks the nitrogen content found in poo.
also, spawning bulk subs from cakes is very fun too if you have extra cakes lying around. use a cheese grater. it may look abusive but works wonderful.

i sounds fun! I didn't know you could be so aggressive with cakes. So I can just use coir/coffee? or just straw and poo? fortunateley, If the poo and straw is cheaper, I live in a city with a lot of farms. Can I use Hay? I feed my rabbit hay and it's like $4.50 for a huge brick of it... maybe I'll get some Hpoo and on the side try something with rabbit poo... I like this hobby... I've always been a science geek so this is right up my alley! I try and keep a steady 12 cakes going at all times so I can keep trying new things. I'm hoping to get some good prints from the ones in the picture too... even though I have a few LC's going.

yea you can be as agressive as you want with cakes. just no smushing or mashing. just grating. it all recovers within a few hours.
rabbit poo actually works but no one uses fresh poo, so unless you wanna be collecting and drying the little bit of poo you have, its a bad idea.
hay is also not good, because it contains kernels which contam like nothing. straw is just hay minus the kernels.
also, make sure you get nice dried field poo nuggets, not stuff swept into a corner. ill show you a picture when i find some

thanks I appreciate it, I guess I'll stick to hpoo... if I have some extra materials I'll give the rabbit poo a shot just as an experiment if I do it, I'll do a grow log for everyone. Sounds like Horse crap is the way to go though...
