1st Grow. Couple Questions
    #16197325 - 05/07/12 09:57 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Background:

Ordered 4 myco bags from _____S and 2 syringes from _____: 1 cambodian, 1 brazilian.

Already bought a 35 gallon lockable storage chest to hold the bags and so I could regulate the temperature a little bit easier. Curious if I could just let the mycelium form in the bags until its mostly colonized and then dump into the chest with more substrate to jumpstart a bigger grow?

Any help is very much appreciated. I will be keeping a grow log with lots of pictures for those interested.

first off incubating in the chest will work but not the best
incubate in an open room monitor the temp in the whole room
but room temp will be good enough

second you can spawn anything to bulk
but you want to wait for the mycobags to be completely colonized

and lastly read the rules

so just dumping into the tub and then perhaps adding more substrate?

anything I need to be careful of?

How much  new substrate (what kind) should I add to each tub containing 2 bags each.

A layer of earthworm casings? layer of something else? mix it in?

You would really benefit from reading a few of the great bulk substrate teks around here. Casing layers arn't really needed for cubes. People like Coir or pasteurized hpoo or cow poo with hay/straw around here a lot. Saw a cool tek yesterday using BlackKow manure right outta the bag with killer results. I have never tried this, so I can't recommend it personally though. The poster said it said pasteurized on the bag and worked great as is.  Read a bunch of bulk teks and see what sound good to you.

most people do this because of how easy it is
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11917410

if you want to add anything you can
only thing i would suggest is gypsum
sense you dont need to properly sterilize

edit-also if you add anything to this tek you will need to sterilize it the right way

You're starting off with 2 great strains, GJ. Brazil is my fav. What size bins are you planning to use?
