Awesome, im so glad to see more people using popcorn. Ive found that 20-30 minutes in a pressure cooker gets popcorn to optimal moisture content. give it a try

I use polyfill only... I shake that jars and the kernels touch the polyfill all the time when I shake and I never get contams... if everything was PC'd properly you're fine.

Excellent write-up. The advantage of not having to soak for 24 hr is pretty nice. Also, it's popcorn, how delightful is that? I'll test this out and post back.

Make sure you hydrate the kernels MORE then what is shown in the tek... the kernels should be hydrated until they crack, all of them... and PC for 90 minutes.

Thanks for the info. You may want to edit the main post to reflect those changes, too, because most people probably won't look through the replies.

Butt-Head,
How do you measure out how much popcorn to use before simmering it?
Do you use your quart jar and fill it 1/2 or 3/4 full then poor 12 times (for 12 quart jars)?
Please explain, Thanks.

Popcorn is colonizing nicely after a grain to grain transfer from rye. Note that I did have to simmer the popcorn for over an hour to get them soft enough (with no pre-soak). Humidified my house very nicely from all the evaporating water :tongue: Will post back.

Harvested >5.0 dry oz from the popcorn tub on first flush. Not bad. Popcorn colonized faster than rye after G2G from MS source jar. We'll see what the rye yield looks like from the same syringe soon.

Tub was 5 qts popcorn, 1 qt coffee, coir block, 1 qt verm, 1/2 cup gypsum, 16 gal monotub, 4.5 qts water.

I did 10 jars of corn along with about 15 WBS. I got slower colonizing rates with the popcorn by about 2 days, in identical incubation settings, to reach 100% (even though it was slower, full colonization was considerably fast, at 80F, from liquid culture, wbs/corn - 15/17 days). The casings were prepared identical and the ones with WBS have about 3x the pins while the popcorn has slightly larger pins, but much more spaced out.

possible reason for variation could be that the clone came from a WBS casing, and so it is more suited to that media

:wtfsonic:

Please don't refer to bulk substrates as "casings". It only confuses people as to what a casing layer is.

fair enough! noob mistake

in fact it is that mistake that got me messed up for bulks for the better part of the last year. only recently after reading RR's "Notes" books did i start to understand the concept of making a nutritious bulk, and a mold hostile high PH casing layer on top.

I don't know.  I have never tried.  I am still relatively new at this.

I have the eight jars I did with Penis Envy that will hopefully fruit by the beginning of the month.  I am also working with B+, A+ Albino, and I am fruiting some B+ and A+ Albino right now.  That's about it.

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.
