Wanna try grains and monos but afraid? Well come to Tbagtags Grow-Along * 6
    #18654325 - 08/03/13 12:33 PM (10 years, 7 months ago)

The concept is simple - this is for people who have failed, or are feeling that grain/bulk is too hard.  This is not a tek - but just an outlined plane for my grow of the week.  We will start on Tuesday to give people enough time to get any necessary items.

Please avoid putting in how you do things; This thread is for the novice not the advanced.  I do encourage postings to keep the thread alive, I just do things a certain way because it works great for me and don't want to make it overly complicated for those having troubles or never having done it.

Here is a list of required items:

  • Pressure cooker with gauge
  • Bird Seed (brand does not matter but I am partial to Ace Hardware and Petco brand WBS)
  • Gypsum ($5 for 50#'s at Menards)
  • 5 Gallon plastic bucket with lid
  • Stock pot
  • 2 dozen wide mouth quart jars
  • Red Devil RTV silicone
  • Eco Earth Coir
  • Fine or Medium grade Vermiculite
  • Poly fill
  • 2 30 gallon Rubbermade clear totes or 1 60 gallon - must have transparent top
  • Thick black 30 gallon trash bags
  • Masking Tape
  • Duct Tape
  • Flame Source
  • Spore Syringe of choice
  • Gallon Size Ziplocs - Non-freezer style
  • 6 gallons of bottled water ($.88 each at walmart)
  • 70% ISO Rubbing alcohol
  • Powder free gloves
  • Still Air Box
  • Shop towels (no lint
)
  • Meat thermometer


Optional Items:

  • Oven Roaster
  • Dehydrator
  • Coated paper plates
  • Tin foil (for prints)
  • Tyvek Sleeves or Poly Sleeves


I'm pretty sure that's it for the items - I will edit before Tuesday if I missed anything.

Here is the schedule (and as we meet the schedule I will take photos for reference):

Tuesday 8/6: Make Lids - drilling holes and making the SHIP's

Wednesday 8/7: Start soak

Thursday 8/8: PC'ing the grains

Friday 8/9: Inoculation

The schedule will be added to once we get growth and can proceed.  The course of this project can take up to 90 days to complete.  So patience is a must.

I look forward to our adventure together!

Thank you Frank, coming from you that's an honor.  I am hoping I get my agar down so I can add it I'm for clones.  I just hope some people join in, even if they don't I'll still do this as a regular grow log.

Thanks for your support,  it'll be interesting to see the participation and outcome.  I'm also hoping that this will show all cubes colonize about the same rate.  Also I gotta edit the first post for the following items:

Required:
Powder Free gloves
70% iso alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
Hand sanitizer (for those without tyvek or poly food service arm sleeves)

Optional:
Tyvek or poly plastic sleeves


I order my poly sleeves from a food service supply company I get 100 for $12.63

Also, 5 Shrooms to both of you for your help and support. There is all humanity left on this site.

I will try to grow along. I have done a couple tubs and a few trays. I have one tub that was put into fruiting 5 days ago it should be pinning any day. I used ms to inoculate my master jar and then did g2g to build up my culture stock. I have had success but would like better yeilds and bigger mushrooms. I am currently working on a clone before I spawn another run. I should be transferring it to grain in the next couple days then I will let that jar colonize and use it to rebuild my culture stock. Hopefully it all goes well. I am confident it will.

On the clones I'm right there with you.  I just started my second agar attempt on Friday after getting some advice from others where I went wrong.

I need to edit my post. Added an extra 0.  It's 100, the price has gone up slightly to $12.63 per 100 or $123.63 with free shipping for 10 cases of 100.  Either way still the cheapest poly sleeve.

http://www.claflinequip.com/tidi-foodcare-basic-poly-sleeve.html?cmpid=SPG0002000003&gclid=CKvZgo-y5LgCFWJlMgod9hkAPA&utm_campaign=Google%252Shopping%2BCSE&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=google%2Bshopping&utm_term=CSE+%2B+MEDC-026993&zmac=56&zmam=77902454&zmap=MEDC-026993&zmas=1&childid=125242#125242


It looks like I am going to have to switch suppliers.  This company has them for $10.50 a box.

My arms get hot enough under tyvek sleeves, I think I'm ok on the plastic. Good idea though.

I used to work at a tattoo parlor doing security, they used these to prevent HIV and Hepatitis doing big pieces.

I figured if it could stop aids it could keep me from bringing in any nasties.

Thank you everyone for your support.

For those playing along at home get the following ready to make the fist part of the lids:

Drill
Drill bits 5/32. 11/64 or 3/16 for your inoculation hole.  1/4 for your poly fill.  We wll not be doing the poly fill portion tomorrow to allow the RTV to dry.
RTV silicone
Plastic knife, spoon or fork
Rubber gloves
6 jars - no need to wash just yet.  It's easier to drill with the lid on the jar.

Also editing first post: forgot duct tape.  First rule of any project? If you cant Duct it fuck it!

I bet it will work great.

My little trick when doing sterile work is I use a rubber band to secure the sleeve to my wrist, over the glove. This way there are minimal air currents travelling out the sleeve while I work.
