BEFORE spawning to bulk, when at 100%, you could shake them to give the myc a day or two head start. By the time you spawn to bulk, a day or two later, the myc is looking nice and sexy.

But yeah, I'd just wait it out until 100% is colonized.



:awkwardconfusion:...that makes no sense to me

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

ie:
If spawning to bulk on 12/25, break up grains on 12/23. When its time to spawn, myc has already recovered.

Going back to the topic at hand, do not break up jar at 90% to colonize the last 10%. Wait until 100% then go from there.

Are you happy, cronicr?

I had read a while back about some people who thought that by letting the myc spend a day recovering before spawning it would speed up the spawn run or something, but I just wrote it off as BS when I saw it. IMO if you want your spawn run to get an extra days jump, dunk the spawn before mixing, works great.

LOL, you obviously dont get what I'm saying... I never recommended breaking up the grain twice.

@Pastywhyte - it works wonders. Breaking up grain in advance + dunking = turbo myc, so to speak.

Pastywhyte takes the cake on this one - dead on.




That may be, but I don't recommend anyone try this, you want a fast recovery time, dunk your grains :awesomenod:

i completely understand what your saying, shake-wait a couple days-spawn, but it will recover in those couple days then your gonna break it all up again to spawn it, if it works for ya then great but

I suppose where we disagree is the notion behind whether or not you're "breaking it up again" when spawning it. I wouldn't recommend waiting until myc "reconnects" (3-4 days) - in 2 days, it simply starts growing again but there is nothing to "break up" after just a day or two... That's why I don't believe the myc is really being disturbed... just my opinion.

No biggie - I've been breaking grains 24hr before the dunk n' spawn, then boom add to sub. Not much different than what everyone else is doing. Thanks for the discussion, fellas:thumbup:!

if you dunk your grains before spawning , aren't you wiping out some of the mycelium from the surface of the grains, how is that a positive when you are decreasing the mycelium biomass that goes into your bulk substrate :confused:

Oh boy, there's a huge thread started by Frank himself. The theory is the water lost during colonization is replenished during the dunk.

Yeah you may lose some but what remains is supercharged by the dunk and easily outpaces grains that are not dunked.

are you sure this works with cubes? I checked the OP in that thread and he is using another species. I just shook the jars and I couldn't help but notice that the grains are dry as fuck, like i couldn't see any moisture anywhere...

Bud, thats a 56 page thread - plenty of results to get your head around. No way the moderators would let a thread go 56 pages if it didn't add value to the message boards. Sounds like you're skeptical - read up the first 10 pages and you'll be convinced. Guaranteed or your money back.

I've lost track of how many tubs I have dunked the spawn on but I can tell you that for me at least it's standard procedure from now on.
