Wbs tek prep?
    #21671508 - 05/12/15 07:10 PM (9 years, 8 days ago)

1. Put wbs in bucket fill with water removed floaters
2. Took a hose attachment and put it on 'jet' for higher pressure water setting and filled bucket up to really clean the seeds. Filled the bucket up and dumped it 3 times
3. Took a strainer put the seeds in washed thoroughly
4. Put seeds in a big pot. Filled it using a quart jar. 2 quarts of water and .6-.7 of coffee simmered for 40 mins the seed shells seemed to split open a lot of them did.
5. Let it dry out a little for an hour wasn't dry but was on a tight schedule.
6. Filled quart jars with 1/4 cup vermiculite and pc'd for 40 mins after waiting for endospores to hatch over night

Sounds like it's going to be pretty tough to break up.

No it wasn't it at all if you're referring to the seeds sticking together

Spawn that won't break up would be a hitch in a commercial farm, but is not that big of an issue for the home cultivator.

I've been lazy prepping wbs a few times, this last time resulted in 15 jars that won't break up at all  :facepalm3: they were for g2g but now I'm going to noc them up with LI and knock on wood.

Anyways, I've had fully colonized spawn that won't break up for various reasons; clumpy grain, species (reishi), and over consolidation. When I spawn I use a large spoon, usually a wooden one, that I leave in the bucket after stirring up my cvg and boiling water. I've used that spoon to break up clumps of colonized grain in the jar, and then if any are in the tub as I'm mixing the coir and grain I chop at em with the sides of the spoon and they break up. Then I always cover the spawn/sub mix with a small layer of the cvg so no grain is exposed. Breaking up spawn with a spoon is not ideal, but it works.

You could also look into other grains that don't require all this. I used to be into wbs and now that I've found oats I'm not going back. No rinsing, no soaking, no need to strain floaters, and no clumping. Oh and did I mention no rinsing? Like ZERO rinsing.

Just simmer/boil for an hour to hydrate and you won't see a single burst grain. Also 11$ for a 50 lb bag where I'm at. Can't beat oats. I understand this is a wbs prep tek but reading it made me shutter at the at least 1 day long prep. Sorry for oat bombing the thread.

1.wash the seeds take out the floaters
2. pour the seeds into a pot fill it with water bring it to the boil
3. once its boiling turn off the gas and put the lid on
4. wait 1 hour
5. after one hour strain the seeds and let all the water drain
6. load jars 3/4 full and PC for 90 minutes
7. after 90 minutes and once the PC is safe to open shake the jars like mental while the jars are still hot
8. wait till the jars cool down, inoculate


sidenote: this tek never failed me, not even once

floaters work fine and you don't need to simmer wbs - just 12-24 hour soak


just saved you time and money

:bongload:

and don't put verm in grain jars...

If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite
The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Make sure it's whole oats with the hulls still intact. Get them from a feed store. They're cheaper whole too and just say you want to feed your goats. The interior is as starchy as wbs but the hulls are so thick and strong they never come off. The mycelium rips through the thick hulls no problem.

I've only used wbs.
I just put in a pot with water, let soak 12+ hours, boil/simmer for a few minutes, strain it. Usually doesn't take too long to steam dry. Then just load up my jars.

I don't even remove the floaters like some people do.
Ain't nobody got time for that lol
