brf cakes lacking nutrients
#8694979 - 07/28/08 10:17 PM (15 years, 7 months ago) |

Ive read a lot on brf cakes not having as much nutrients as wbs. which sometimes tends to make the fruits less potent on brf cakes. i was wondering if there is a way to make my brf cakes more nutritious to get more potent fruits with out having to use a pressure cooker. any help appreciated
Edit: also with out using casing. im only aiming to just do plain old brf cakes.

A pressure cooker has nothing to do with it
There's really nothing you can do to make them more potent without using casings. I guess you could try to alter the recipe and add more brf. . .

No one here loves to bash cake sniffers more than I do but I'm gonna have to skip the chance to bash them here because it simply does not matter,I would simply love to go into my usual "Cakes are the biggest mycological mistake invented by mankind" but the plain fact is that as far as potency goes it really makes no difference whatsoever,cakes or birdseed,cased or uncased.Potency is nearly 100% genetic,spawning to bulk substrates allows for better flushes and bigger/more mushrooms but its mostly just a matter of getting more moisture into them,not necessarily more nutrients,people have been playing with adding things to their substrates for ever and no one has ever really proved anything consistent that anything really matters potency wise.Its always gonna be a crap shoot with multispore and unless working with a good tested and proven clone or isolate its more or less impossible to predict what you are in store for in the potency department

There's nothing wrong with the potency of the fruit from BRF cakes at all. They taught me much respect. You can read this trip report to see what I mean: Hammer of the Gods.

Mad River. i read your trip report it was a good read.
I've decided on my strain.I'm going to order Mazatapec strain from Ralphstersspores.com. I'm not sure if its possible to tell but I hear Ralphsters has really good spores. does that mean their spores have good genetics? or just reliable? I'm just gonna follow the pf tek method to the last letter and hope for the best. Just a question. I'm going to be inoculating ten 1/2 pint jars. Roughly how many mushrooms in weight completely dried do you think i should expect - following the pf tek method exactly to the letter + dunking and rolling.

No way to tell. Just follow directions and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

yea. I'm already pretty excited. I'm feeling pretty good about doing pf cakes. even if I don't get very many shrooms, ill be happy that I grew some. I'm probably going to make a grow log as i havent found any full grow logs of mazatapecs on brf cakes.

you can add little blood meal or malt extract but really, it wont make any difference!
If you want big hervasts you should try bulk grows!
