Help with rye bag colonization!
    #15053130 - 09/09/11 01:18 PM (13 years, 4 months ago)

Hello everyone.  A little more than a month ago, I bought everything I needed for a bulk substrate grow.  I have grown mushrooms before using the PF-Tek method and I wanted to try something a little harder.  The substrate I used was was rye. I got these pre-sterilized bags off of the internet from a website called out-grow.com . I inoculated the bags and after about a week there was a lot of mycelium growth on the side of the bags.  From my research, I learned that you're supposed to mix up the contents of the bag when it is 30-40% colonized so that it will distribute the mycelium evenly and increase colonization speed.  However, I think I did it wrong somehow.  Ever since I mixed it around, it seems like it stopped growing. 

I have more money saved up now, and I'm going to buy more rye bags and a different spore syringe.  This time I would like to be successful.

Should I not touch the bags at all?  If I should break it up, how should I do it, and how much should I break it up? 


Please help me!
(I'm sorry for the noob question)


Thank you,
~metalguitarist420

Every time you mix a bag, there is a lag time of 2-3 days before your grains start to colonize again.  But when they do they speed up and more evenly distributed.
