My first time growing and using rye grain grow bag. Need help!!

This is my first time trying to grow mushrooms and I bought a rye grain grow bag from mushbox and I'm using Hawaiian- Psilocybe Cubensis spores. I'm waiting for them to come In the mail but I wanted to know a little more info before I start. Some questions I've been trying to find out is how I water them? I'm not sure how much water they need and how I would? And I was wondering if their was any other spots to have them settle while they grow, I've heard behind the fridge is a good spot but would like to know others that have worked for you? Sorry for the questions since I'm sure it is a dumb one but I'm hoping this first bag works out. Thanks

once you inject spores you do not water until grains are fully colonized...
as long as your house temp is around 70 you can put them anywhere just put on a shelf, or something out of the way..

Never bought a grow bag but I would imagine that it would come with instructions, unless it is already wet then you would have to wet the casing I would think or nothing would grow. You should try this TEK next it is easy and gives good results because of the great airflow and humidity it keeps. Watch all four video clips if you want to know the best way to grow. http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Terrarium-Tek

Thanks, I thought the rye grain bag sounded a lot easier because all I have to do is inject the spore. But I'm happy to hear I can just put it on a shelf, I had no clue about that.

The only problem with those bags is there is very little FAE so you will be fanning it constantly when it starts fruiting if you are going to have it do any good. When it is fully colonized wait a week then you could cut some holes in the bag and fill them with polyfil and put a fan somewhere in the room with it and maybe get better results.

Those bags are more often used to be spawned to bulk rather than made into cakes like jars are. I would say if it is a 2-3 pound spawn bag use THIS TEK but cut everything in half (1/2 brick of coir, 1 quart of verm, 2-2.25 quarts of water. That's what I did and ended up with very good results, almost 3.5oz dry from 1x 2 lb spawn bag.

I thought when he said grow bag he meant one of those bags with the box filled with the sub and you just noc the box and let it fruit in the bag. My bad, how are you fruiting it then, I mean mono tub, or GH, or SGFC?

I would say a monotub would be best. Following Damion's tek is about the easiest bulk tek you could follow and imo it's just as easy as the PF tek if you follow it right...You can even use 20 half pint BRF jars as your 5 qt of spawn for that tek. Or like I said earlier 10 BRF jars and just cut everything else in half.

It's a 3lb rye bag from mushbox.com. So should I inject 3cc or 2cc?? And do I need to cut holes?

No hole cutting and I would say go with 6cc as that is what I used for my 2lb bag and it did well just make sure to spread it around, don't just shoot 6cc all in one spot. Keep the needle in the bag but move it from one side to the other as your are injecting to spread the spores out.

So how did 6cc work? I'm just reading over mushbox instructions And it says to shoot in 2-3cc. Since it's my first time I'm thinking things over a lot since I've heard adding to much could contaminate it.

It shouldn't contam it unless you water log the crap out of it, but I would follow the directions or get close to that amount. Maybe meet in the middle with 4cc or just do the 3cc it calls for, like he said spread it around and don't have a heavy thumb or you will shoot 2ccs in one spot really easy.

Thanks, I think I will go with 4cc, I'm glad you brought up being thumb heavy because I probably would have I'f I didn't get a warning. Hopefully it works out. Last thing, so when it starts growing and it's white Or colonized what are the next steps?

After it is totally covered in white you wait another week and then introduce it to fruiting conditions(fresh air, fanning, misting , 12 hours of 6500k fluorescent,LED, or indirect sunlight, hugs, kisses etc)
