Have you ever scraped into your cakes?
Well,when doing so you come across surface areas that are less fully colonized and mushy almost.
I scrape it till its gone .
Usually the cake is full healthy white mycel on the outsinde "due to injection points" and this layer will protect the inside while it grows more dense.
The scraping is done in the sink basicly like peeiling an apple.
Ill show more pics on it later.

Please just give this a chance.
No need to bash me.

No offense, but I don't know what you are trying to do here. Those napkins are a bad idea. You aren't going to get much out of those cakes that way. I'm not sure what you have going on there.

Those methods seem like they are pre-historic.




Pre-historic??
Why, cause its simple?
Napkins bad idea,,,mmmm,no
Not gonna get much for fruits,,,mmmmmmm,wrong.

Let the person present their method, if nothing else it's interesting to see something different.

Like the wreck that just happened outside my house, I think the neighbor was having a get together and one of his guests pulled out into the street and then ran into my neighbor's parked car...doh!

There's lots of substitutes for perlite.  I've used paper towels, and even damp cloth towels to provide humidity in a terrarium.  They work fine provided you replace them every few days, or if using cloth, simply run it through the washing machine.

Knock off the rude comments folks.  I've known Nilla for several years.  He does things a bit differently than I do, but nobody can argue with what works.  There's more than one way to do things. It's always nice to expand the knowledge base. :thumbup:

Hey, like I said, I'm reserving judgement. I'm sure RR's endorsement will carry some weight.

Personally, I'd love to spell out SHROOMERY.COM! with a full flush of shrooms in nilla's funky ass cakes!

Now that would be awesome.  Sorry if I said anything that offended you Nilla.  When somebody does anything out of the ordinary criticism is to be expected.  How you choose to deal with it is what's important.  Prove me and everyone else wrong.  No hard feelings?  Looking forward to some fruiting pics.

im curious as to how those cakes will turn out. they look cool btw. one question: why scrape the cakes? wouldn't you just be able to let them completely colonize in the jars? I'm not trying to critique you or anything , just im a curious newblar.

Hey Nilla I have seen the scrapping tek before with very good results. Maybe "old school" but if it works it works, right?

Ok,the 3 cakes ive been showing with the fruits are growing as we speak and im using them to just show the size of fruits these put off.
Im "not" just taking pics of my "best" cakes.
Some are always gonna be better but these are just the only three fruiting now.
I will keep updates of the tray that is not fruiting.
Also thak you RR for giving me some credit;)
Ive been doing this for "YEARS" since most you were still in high school.
I know what "works" and "what" dose not.
So please dont turn this into a thread of how i "should" be doing things.
Please just take it for what its worth.

Here is a update of the three fruiting cakes.
Seriously,notice there size,inch thick stems are "not" common on cakes,,maybe bulk.
And if you have grown on poo/straw you will notice the pins get real fat and bloated "a sign of good things too come".
These do the same.
I will be also posting some cakes done the "normal case way" to show the difference.

I'm confused. These can't be the same cakes, right? [Nevermind. I read it again. These are different cakes.]Did you mention what strain this is? First flush?

Those shrooms are fucking monsters. :eek:

(Thanks rugergirl!)

Yes first flush.
These are the fruits from the beganing of the thread.
And yes HUGE!
The 5 incher's will prolly end up being 8 inch's or more when picked.
These are actually a border line good flush compared to what i usually get from a cake.

Strain is SA.

The clear plastic with blue lids? I've used those before. I had big fruits, but I thought it was because the substrate was bigger. I don't scrape my cakes with a knife, but I scrape them very good with my finger nails while I'm cleaning them off prior to and after dunking. Check out pics of my cakes under my ratings. The only thing that stumped me was using napkins instead of perlite. I know that napkins, along with misting the rest of the FC will work, but napkins get funky every 2 or 3 days and need to be replaced. Just seems like extra work as opposed to throwing some perlite in and not messing with it until after the grow.

I dont change the napkins till there done fruiting;)
Point is this.

Its simple as hell,no mess,no over thought out chamber with foggers/perlite/florecence lights exc,exc..

Napkins down,cakes on,spray once,and check everyday to give air.
Thats it.
"Plus" the scraping and prebirth dunking lead to "BIG" shrooms!
O,,and no cassing.
I will never case a cake.
