OK follow it all except when the casing goes on fruit completely open in the shotgun instead. Otherwise just follow the instructions.

How about you don't sterilize and just pastuerize instead? :biggrin: Or ditch the whole straw and whatevs and just do a simple CVG bucket tek.

Sterilizing the substrate will make it more susceptible to contams. This is why you are probably experience contamination in this process. Proper pastuerizing substrate is the way to go as it leaves the good bacteria there and bad bacteria goes away.

As mushpunx said, break up the corn on a car/bike tyre or with by banging it on something with a little give (I used the arm's of my old sofa) instead of stabbing with a knife and ruining a perfectly good looking jar.

I would let the corn colonize. Break it up. Prepare some pasteurized substrate, put it all in a tray.

I don't know what the next step is, whether it is letting it colonize or put on a casing layer so please some one with a little more experience in SGFC chime in on this one

Sorry if I wasn't clear on the instructions provided ( I included pictures of the recommended steps above!).  But yes,  the intent is to break up the colonized corn and mix it into the pasteurized and cooled straw in a bag (this bag is placed inside the large clear tub that will be the fruiting chamber).  Then, when the straw is colonized, a layer of sterile casing soil is applied to the top and patted down.  Fruiting begins after this step!

Again, I tried once and got some contamination, so am looking for steps to modify or change so that I have better luck this time!  I know, I know, don't do kits next time (and trust me, I won't!)





:thumbup:


Dont pat down casimg layer tho just level it off

Thanks so much for all the advice guys!  I have another post up that shows where I am at now with pictures and a couple questions.  Not sure how to link to it yet, still learning how to use the forum.  Thanks again!
