Tips for beginners in the bulk area.
    #14228679 - 04/02/11 10:18 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I am making this thread in hopes that it will help people move onto bulk and start producing more and making there work even more rewarding.
Experienced cultivators please add youre advice as well.

First I will start out on why some bulk grows fail.:

1. When working with manure moisture content is very important. When it comes to mycelium colonizing the bulk sub two things that pretty important are: Moisture content. Cubensis myc has a harder time colonizing wet sub. A sign that the substrate is to wet is that the myc will become extremely fluffy around the colonized spawn spotted around the surface of the bulk sub. It will not spread. Or it will colonize extremely slow, and possibly ferment. Wet poo can ferment easily.
The other thing is the density of the sub. You don't want mud. Or huge clumps. Try to make the sub fluffy as possible using whatever you need. Verm, coir, fix the moisture content.

2. A lot of people will throw it into the incubator with other jars and try to incubate it at 83ish degrees, or somewhere around that range. That will promote bacterial overgrowth, and fermentation, It will do best at room temp.
These are things most tutorials leave out that a pretty important. imo

I just had to toss a bulk sub (coir) that got the green. A few days before contamination set in, the mycelium stopped spreading almost entirely and just started getting real fluffy and overgrown on the surface. I thought it was a contaminant mycelium, but the tray still smelt strongly like mushrooms and nothing else.

Guess I need to strain my coir more thoroughly, ey?

An overly wet sub will usually fall to bacteria first and stink. This can later give way to cobweb or trich or both.

A full blown, first flush trichsplosion comes down to one of two things: using unpasteurized substrate or using contaminated spawn.

If you pasteurized the coir, then I'd look to the spawn as the source of the contamination. Trich is often invisible inside a colonized spawn jar.

:whathesaid:

which is why once my jars are fully colonized...I shake and break up all the grains, then allow 2-3 days for it to recooperate....if you have trich present in your jars it will take over and show itself soon after..
