:facepalm:

No reason to remove floaters and/or sunflower seeds.
That's old information.
I don't even remove the small little twigs in my WBS anymore.

i know theres no need to but when your doing 20 lbs at a time it's hard to find a strainer to hold it all while you rinse so i just let them go:shrug:

You gotta get the "WBS special" strainers. Or make your own outta some mosquito screens & PVC.

Edit your Tek to point that out I know you don't say to throw them out I double checked .  If you did mention it I probably would have left them in since I'm following your Tek. I'm trying to blame you but I can't damn:cool:

:shrug2:

I guess I don't explicitly state that I don't leave them in, but on the other hand, I don't say to strain/take them out.

I'll edit it just for you :brushrage:

Also, I'd figure these 3 pictures were obvious enough that I don't do that.

Go to your local farm supply store. Somewhere out in the country that isn't a "name brand" store (maybe not super local for some). They will be selling 50# bags of wheat grain for about $12. Cheaper than any wbs I've been able to find.

I have a question about  the bird feed thing here as i think as long as you  find seed that has the least amount of shells you would be good?  so any type of seed  that can be found cheap would work? Right? or  is it not so  do you need the  shell? Well the sunflower nut  work  as its the cheapest  per lb at the store  here?  I just want to clarify this

Sunflower alone will work, but not very well.  Each colonized grain is a point from which the mycelium will spread across your bulk substrate.  Sunflower seeds take up lots of volume per seed.  Having a mixed bag of various sizes or even a bag of straight millet would probably do you better by volume.  More smaller seeds is better than less larger ones for colonizing bulk.  This was my thought process on the matter.  Hope that makes sense.

I am not certain of the nutritional benefits of the differing seeds, but IIRC there was some info that sunflower seeds were not the best on their own.

I know I don't strain out floaters at all.

So thats the whole idea  is to have the less amount of space  for surface area. so  it can  spread easier!  That does make it better to understand now  just to find the best  grain to use. As i am making up 3 gallon  of spawn at a time is my plan to  do shittikes  for sawdust blocks 'just in time for spring'
