Q about colonizing
    #14027615 - 02/25/11 09:07 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Ok, so if one were to use the "boil-a-bag" tek, what is the optimal environment conditions to have cubes and pans colonize during that stage?

Haven't heard of the boil-a-bag tek. I doubt I'd choose to use it though.
But if you post a link, we might be able to advise you.

Ya, not really sure what you are referring to, are you talking about sterilizing and inoculating spawn bags?

70+ degrees is good for cubes, and pans should do well at
the same temperature. Although most posts mention temps
in the 80s.

basically, it's were you use boil-a-bag type bags (something that will withstand the heat of the PC) and filters (filters are made from rock wool type insulation and vermiculite inside a can with the top cut off all but 1 inch), and you use straw, yeast extract and brown rice flour for food, mix it, sterilize it in a PC at 15 psi for an hour, let cool, then you inoculate with syringes, and it's supposed to colonize within a couple of days, then you move it to the growing environment. But the video I watched didn't say anything about the environment while the bags were colonizing, so hence the question. :smile:

Hey, there are better ways to do this.
This tek sounds like trouble.

What part of the world are you in?

Well if you're in the US, I suggest either PF Tek, or grain spawn.
There's some excellent videos by Roger Rabbit, one of the mods here.
The free clips include the complete PF tek instruction: http://mushroomvideos.com/
