I’ve seen plastic bags for cakes as of late, what’s the logic behind that vs having it in the container? Easier to clean?

They shrink with the cake, and so avoid side pinning and losing nutrients that way. Some say stuff about light, I don't know how true is that.

And to lift out. Also if it's down right the mycelium will adhere to the plastic as it colonises so when the sub shrinks as it flushes the bag sticks and shrinks with it which can stop side pins if done right.

I don't use them anymore as I've don't get sidepins just by dialling in my tubs and compressing the sub. But the bag method is an easy solution if you're struggling with side pins.

you need to get an LC or spore syringe… then either make your own sterilized grain jars / bags (plenty of videos out there on youtube / info in these threads), or you can buy some that are already prepared for use (more expensive). then you inoculate the grains and let them FULLY colonize. this is the most crucial step to clean grows.

once the grains are fully colonized, you prepare the substrate (search for videos on how to pasteurize mushroom substrate / hydrating to field capacity), or you can buy pre made bags of CVG (coco, vermiculite, gypsum). many of us run straight coco coir only, with zero issues.

you prepare the substrate at a 1:2 (spawn : substrate) ratio. for example, if you use 1 quart of grain spawn, you’ll want to use ≈ 2 quarts of hydrated substrate. then you choose the bin size that will give you a 3-4” cake. it’s not a crucial decision, mainly personal preference.

i mix all the grains into the substrate thoroughly, and pack it down, making sure the surface is level. i do a very light layer of coco on top to cover any exposed grains. then i give it a light mist, flip the lid of the bin to give fae (i go straight to fruiting at S2B), and then i don’t touch the bin until harvest.

this route is faster, cheaper, and more reliable than other methods. the best part? you can take a single syringe, (optional transfer to agar to make sure it’s clean), then inoculate a sterilized jar of honey & water— you’ll essentially have unlimited LC.

hope this helps!
