If they are cakes, you shouldn't have a problem  casing them after the first flush. Just rinse them off well.

Exactly,...  But I thought we were beyond this step,.........

   Of course,.....  And I have a couple of cousins there that grow as well,...  So I hope to grab some of their wild prints while hanging with them.

fungiguy

cool...speaking of prints, how do you do yours? haven't tried that avenue yet.

malabar

Fungiguy,
  I suspend a cap over container of sterilized H2O.  Check the Shroomery,..  I am sure there are a few TEKs there.  Or, Fattrout is a "Big" print guy.  Reach out, I am sure he will point you in the right direction as well.

yeah, i found the tek that has me using paper to print on. after the print dries, how do i transfer it to colonize?? can i just scrape some into a jar of grain?

mustang1986

mine are brf cakes. i didnt case them i just let then fruit as cakes i was wondering if i could case them after the first flush

malabar

Mustang,
  You still have the opportunity to case the cakes.  However, i wouldn't suggest crumbling, for fear that the shock may be so great that the percentages of recovery may not be good. 
  At this stage, I believe you could continue your first flush, go on to your rinse, soak for a few hours, then go ahead and case.  Make sure that casing is really fluffy,.......  For good aeration. 
  You really don't want to create too many hurdles sense you are already changing the playing field.
  I realize this was probably an "after thought", but you should be prepared to allow your crops to flourish in a single setting, or environment, short of some sort of catastrophic event,.... 
  I would also allow some Extra time before you even see initial signs during the brief incubation period after casing.

fungiguy, i do prints two diffrent ways. i do the paper print when i want to store a print a long time... if i am going to use the spores right away, i will take a cap, put it in a 1/2 pint jar. leave it 2 days, remove the cap and add water to the jar, stir it up and suck it into a syringe... you can do the same with a paper print, just scrape the spores to the jar add water and suck with syringe....btw all this is done in a clean and sterile environment..
good luck, fattrout
