What is the best way to go about an unsterilized bulk grow with colonized spawn?
    #14753934 - 07/11/11 09:50 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

I recently purchased two 1 lb bags of pre sterilized rye seed and inoculated them with Amazonian spores. The mycelial growth has been steady as I'm not incubating and keeping them at around 75 degrees. Anyway its been nearly a month and their about 60% colonized with no sign of contamination. I'm interested in doing a bulk substrate so I can get a larger yield but I don't have a pressure cooker. So I'm wondering what the best way to go about doing a bulk grow without sterilization would be, what substrate, what ratio to my spawn (I don't need that much this is all my personal consumption + some friends)and any other factors which would optimize growth without contamination. If its really that risky I can be talked out of it.

For benefits oblige; and obligation is thraldom; and unrequitable obligation, perpetual thraldom; which is to one's equal, hateful.

Shake the spawn bag to distribute the colonized and uncolonized parts.  It will be finished in a week.

If you want a non pasteurized grow, use manure or straw and grow in a shady spot outdoors.

You don't want to sterilize bulk substrates... you want to pasteurize them, and you don't need a PC to do this.

Here is a collection of info that should help you. You should decide on a fruiting chamber and a substrate and read a lot about both while your spawn is finishing colonizing.

hope this helps!

I like the concept of the alien substrate alot... would it work if I made a good bit of substrate using that method, mixed it with my spawn and then covered it with a layer of soil in a plastic tub?
