10 years and you're still scraping cakes? haha

OG growers don't use cakes.. atleast not any with any sense

methods have changed time and time again and this is FAR from anything new

i never got heated, i'm just trying to tell you nubs to move on in life
cakes are a waste of time, effort and resources after the innitial experience is gained

the pictures are NOT impressive..
far from infact

I must be getting old too.  Knock off the bs people and let folks experiment.  Exactly how would pf have come up with his tek in the first place if not for experimenting?  If I see another cake vs bulk comment I'll scream.  This is a cake thread, not a bulk thread.

I've actually learned more from my failed experiments than the successful ones, so let the process play out.

Amen to all of that RR, but that video did crack me up a bit as well as some of the retorts.

I have a question, I have read a bit of this thread and only saw people touch this subject

people are bitching because you didnt let your cakes colonize 100 percent so you cut of uncolonized bits so it was colonized 100 percent
you didnt let it fully colonize because you were pressed for time
If you werent pressed for time then why would you take the cakes out of the jars before they were fully colonized and if they were fully colonized before hand then you wouldnt need to hack away at them yes?

To answer your question, yes you are correct. nilla, who originally posted this method and kind of brought up all this controvery, had some very weird shaped cakes because he cut off all kinds of uncolonized substrate. He said he was "pressed for time" as you say. ou can see his cakes at the thread I link to in the first post of this one.

I, on the other hand, had one fully colonized cake, and one stalled cake that was not going to colonize any more no matter how long I waited. It had shown zero growth for over a week. So, I thought I would try this.

So, the basic thing about the Tek is to scrape the cakes. If the cake is fully colonized, then basically you are just removing the outer layer of fluffy mycelium to reveal the interior colonized substrate.

i hope I answered your question.

Much love to you all!
