I started my grain work with popcorn.  Its pretty easy to work with but it has its downsides.  The area for the mycellium to colonize is much smaller then rye and way smaller then WBS this means less mycellium for when you spawn meaning it will take longer to colonize the same amount of sub as WBS or rye.  This is why it seems that popcorn jars fly when colonizing.

It also just doesnt seem to produce as well as rye or WBS in my experience and many others.  Its high in starch.

I will say nice write up.  Also i am in no way bashing popcorn i have fought for popcorn use in the past very strongly.  If it wasnt for popcorn i wouldnt be doing what i do today. :smile:

You mean you ground it to a flour or just put the WBS in whole?  Cause i've done the WBS flour in pf tek before also worked out very nice. 

As for in grain jars I've never had luck with WBS.  Personally i use rye in all my grain jars.  But its all about finding out what works and then experimenting on the side to see if you can improve.

This true but its only cause popcorn has much less surface area then rye.  So there is actually less mycellium per popcorn jar then there is in a rye jar.
