Do you case your cakes

I know many different people have different ways of doing things.
Do you think that casing you cakes with verm makes a difference in either size or yield?

With cakes the double end case is the way to go imo.

In my case. DEC is a must. Humidity here is very tough to hold. Always get pins only in cased sections.

I hate cassing cakes.
I never do it and dont believe it needs to be.
I get a better flush without it.
All its ever done for me is add mess and verm stuck to shrooms and even has caused contams sometimes.

Verm stuck to shrooms?

If you get verm stuck to yer shrooms, I recommend drying them and cleaning them afterwards with a toothbrush. It comes of really good.

I DEC cakes with coir and verm. The mycelium rips through it, and pins quite easily. Its also a great way to help 'hydrate' your cakes during a flush. It all depends on your setup though.

Not to DE case is just wasting potential, IMHO.

Coir, I think, makes a phenominal casing additive.

Strongly advise a DEC for cakes, all shapes and sizes.

Moreover I wrap the whole cake with this casing mix. Works like magic and if you have doubts - it does stick to the sides of the cake easily, obviously providing even more water and pinning area.

DEC should be amended to the PF tek. I feel its that important.
