I just wanted to know if there are any big differences in the outcome of the shrooms if you case them or if you just use them as cakes. If there are any differences, what are they?

Now I know I'm getting old: I have no idea what the f**k he just asked!

ok here is an answer to your question, there is no potency difference if you going to case just with plain verm, unless you add some other nutrietients to your casing layer you will get the same potency as you would from just birthing cakes but a more biger and nicer flush...

I have a nice casing with some b+ 's and im waiting to harvest my second flush.. i enjoed my first flush quite alot and i don't think there is a point at doing cakes couse you get bigger flushes from casings and it's just as easy!

Casing give slightly better yields but have a higher risk of losing everything to contam.

case these cakes!!!! god. ive noticed the people who want you to fruit them w/out casing are also the people saling humidifiers, growth boxes et cetera. the only diff between casing and not is about $100. u wont lose everything as long as you got them under a flourescent. use peat moss. that is all ive used and ive had 100% success with all cakes.

Okay, thanks a lot guys, you told me exactly what i needed to know! :-)

Almost the big 4 0 huh Meta? I even knew what he was asking and I havent grown yet.

Extacy, by the way, were you sucessful on your first try with those b+ (other than a few contam colonizing jars), like your casing I mean

i used treasure coast strain back all those years ago, grungy. it colonized fast, fruited like a motherfucker and i was told that it was absolutely the best potency this place has seen.

that was my first time.

yep i was also succefull with my first grow, cased in 3 days saw my first pins, it fruited quite good for a first flush but then i wasnt patient enough and picked every posible musshroom there even on casing and ate everything... and yesterday i picked my 2nd flush which was also good for a nice trip now im waiting for my 3rd flush!

WTF are you talking about!? You dont use peat moss with cakes. Grow under a florescent light?!? You dont know what you speak of.

EDIT: I kind of understand what you are saying. You mean you case with peat moss as a medium, not a substrate in your cakes. Why would you put your casing under a florescent light?
