just pour all the popcorn together into one large tub, the larger the cake the more and or bigger mushrooms it will go, depends on your current mycelium also. i have soo many half pints and pint jars cause i have a tiny PC only holds five pints jars... 
takes a LOOOOOOOONG time to get any real amount of substrate ready.. like 30 pint jars.. five at a time.. plus wait for cooling in between... urg, glad im done with that =)

I'm not really trying to add another bulk grow on top of the 2 I'm already doing. I already have extra perlite and a lil bit of verm to roll em in so I was just gonna take that easy way out.just pour all the popcorn together into one large tub, the larger the cake the more and or bigger mushrooms it will go, depends on your current mycelium also. i have soo many half pints and pint jars cause i have a tiny PC only holds five pints jars...

dont wanna burst your bubble but popcorn will not hold the cake shape well, i leanred this the hard way by dumping out my popcorn tubs so they could fruit better, ended up with piles of popcorn, that still fruited, but not like the popcorn i left in the tub, beside you dont have to mix popcorn with any thing so its not the same as bulk really, though it will produce well enough to be considered bulk
just find a sterile tub, i used an ice cream tub fill it with a few inches of popcorn wait a week and it should be ready to fruit.in the end its up to you.. learning is part of the process.

That sounds good. I asked if I could use popcorn in cakes earlier, I figured it would just fall apart like you said.dont wanna burst your bubble but popcorn will not hold the cake shape well, i leanred this the hard way by dumping out my popcorn tubs so they could fruit better, ended up with piles of popcorn, that still fruited, but not like the popcorn i left in the tub, beside you dont have to mix popcorn with any thing so its not the same as bulk really, though it will produce well enough to be considered bulk

Could I mix the popcorn with verm? Maybe just case it in verm? If so I'll just get like a 6wt tub and make a lil bulk xD

you could mix in verm, but the best thing about popcorn, is its all you need.
really the popcorn holds enough moisture to not need any verm for that purpose...
a casing layer of just verm (no additives) on top of the popcorn will give you a nice microclimate with high rh but is not needed..

Thanks for the help man, +rep
And the Dap silicon can be PC'd/injected multiple times without having to be changed?
