Anyone know about Rye Spawn Bags? Really Need Some Help

I am growing in a Rye Spawning bag, post my injection of spores does it require me to do anything else for them to get to harvest? The bag I purchased contains rye berries and a mixture of distilled and mineral water fortified with gypsum, diammonium phosphate, along with some other nutrient enhancing herbs and minerals. I know I need to ensure the temperature and keep them humid during fruiting but is there any other steps required? Sorry, this is my first time and I've read about different methods but I'm not sure what to do if I'm looking for the highest yield but not wanting to get in to deep since I'm a noob. If anyone has any advice or knowledge about this topic I would truly appreciate you help.

I know that spawn bags are cheating. I'm just trying to do this one step at a time. I figured that if I can watch them grow and learn a little then move up to doing my own mixtures. Its a sterilized 3lb bag. I have spores and I just need to know:
1) Can I grow to fruit in bag.
2) If I want a higher yield should I use a casing method
3) What medium should I use for casing

1) No, you cant fruit directly on grain
2) Forget casing
3) My opinion is to get the spawn bags, wait until its 100% colonized then mix it with verm/coir in which no PC is needed.

Unless using LC or G2G, 1lb will give you much better results. Anything more and they take forever to colonize.

You can fruit rye you just have to add a casing layer because they don't hold moisture very well. Most will reccomend spawning to bulk tho.

I was thinking the spawn to bulk idea sounded good also. I have been on here reading damn near since posting the question lol. With that method do I need to sterilize the coir+verm mix or is it fine to add as is? Then also how would you recommend I break up the original [(cake?) i think that's the right term] to distribute it through the new spawning material? I had read that you can also cook the spawning materials in an oven, is that true? Mostly because I do not have a PC. I guess to reorganize this my questions are:
1) Do i need to sterilize the new coir+verm mix to do spawn to bulk?
2) Can I (if needed) sterilize by using an oven or other heating method?
3) How do I separate and mix the original colonized Spawn with the new substrate?

Godspore, I think you were saying something about the spawn to bulk method also, right? You had mentioned no PC is needed is that because Verm and Coir are just ready out of the bag or do I need to prepare them?

To prepare coir/verm you need to pasteurize it. This is done by adding boiling water to a closed container with the substrate and let it sit for a few hours. No pc is needed. Use the search function, it's a noobs best friend!

A word of advice, a lot of people first starting out put a lot of emphasis on keeping the temperature up. The mycelium starts producing it's own heat as it colonizes. That's particularly important to consider when doing large spawn bags. You'll want to keep the temperature low, even below normal room temperature if possible to keep the inside of the substrate from getting very warm and supporting growth of bacteria.

I do have one more question. I have searched and searched, but how many times can I spawn to bulk of the same batch? It would be cool if I could just keep running a "sea of green" method with the spawn. I wasn't sure if that is possible? As in spawn to bulk but put a smaller portion of the spawn in a smaller container to then spawn to bulk that container, so on and so on?

how many quarts of spawn would a fully colonized three pound bag be?

Theyre typically a quart per lb.

hey everybody. I just inoculated my bags. I was wondering, I massaged the bag to try to evenly distribute the spores, Is that bad? Should I not have done that? Did it ruin my bags? Also is there a max amount of spore solution that I should have injected into the bag? What is the minimum?

Yeah... You weren't supposed to do that. they may still colonize, but you probably slowed it down. You don't mix anything up till they are 25%-35% colonized. As long as it doesn't cause standing water in the bag you're fine. Otherwise a minimum for a bag that size should be about 2ml, and it should be inoculated at more than one point also.

is there anything I can do to ensure that I didn't screw it up? I do have more spores can I inject those into the bag to help or is that a bad Idea? Would you just say let it sit? Do you have any idea what the odds are that it will still colonize even with me having done that?

Well it seems they were fine. I now have the bags about 20-30% colonized and they look wonderful. I am stoked, I avoided a huge issue. Thanks everybody for all the advice. I will submit some pics when they get a bit further along. Again thanks for the help.
