Those who inoculate a bag of sterile sub with LC: do you ever shake or massage the bag? I do some light kneading right after inoculating, then get fast growth on the top half but much slower colonization of the bottom of the bag (and sometimes it stalls out before getting there). Worried my water is slightly off and the conditions at the base aren't great.

Light mixing at inoculation and break up the bag around day 5.

I'm having a hard time learning this. I need to keep shit in perspective and realize I've only had 4 grows, but hundreds of tossed plates came before those. Eventually I'll get to a decent level of cult

While on the topic of bags, and fuck ups. The bag I had colonizing, well it never recovered in the tray. Imagine that shit! :smirk: I figured my first attempt was going to be a complete learning experience and boy was it. I’m going to explore grains for a bit. I noc’d up 4 quarts of rye berries this morning. Fingers crossed cuz that was a complete learning experience too. Might as well make another attempt at a bag too. I’m sure I can only fuck up so much before I fuck up and grow mushrooms. :laugh:

Non recovery is usually due to a weak culture and the thing about that is is that I have had great looking cultures not recover and other cultures not even flinch. it’s kind of a pan thing. I would probably think about taking it back to the plate if the grain doesn’t work out for you.

In my limited experience with bags, I've found that getting moisture content right is my biggest challenge. Have done a few runs using Asura's tek, and the recipe he uses has resulted in a soggy, muddy mess every time. Made me realize that the ability of things like straw, manure, and grain to absorb water really varies a lot by type and source and even batch, so you need to figure out the optimal ratios for yourself. And it's not just a matter of field capacity - moisture retention changes during cooking, so things that seem perfect before sterilization may not be after.

No secret solution that I know of - you just need to keep trying until you get it right. But maybe more experienced folks can weigh in on how you dial in moisture levels for different ingredients?

My sub-prep is basically based on having 65% water content at the end. So if your
substrate can't hold that, you will have a different set of problems. If everything
isn't bone dry at the beginning you would need to calculate your water content and
adjust.

Well it could be that or any 1 of the complete saf newbie welcome to at home mycology things I did along the way. I will spare the details, but this culture needs another go. All I can say is redo! Redo!:laugh:

The first one I did everything came together perfectly just like Asuras instructions. Beginners luck maybe. Could it cause a problem if I let it colonize too long in the bag? Can that effect how well it recovers in the tray? If the momentum is broken or slowed.

not exactly. if your fruiting chamber is so dry that the casing dries up, then your mushrooms will begin to dry up too. the humid microclimate of a wet casing will keep the fruits from evaporating. also, mushrooms absorb some moisture out of the casing layer too, not just the substrate. so if the casing layer is dry, they'll also have a harder time absorbing all the water they need to grow big and strong.

i tried the 65% water content thing in the very beginning and it resulted in my sub mixture being so dry i couldn't squeeze out a single drop of water no matter how hard i tried. i threw away the calculator and just eyeballed my moisture content using the squeeze test and it worked fine after that. different straw and manure must have a big impact. :shrug:

How did you calculate? I see this done wrong all the time. I just updated the Substrate
recipe in my write up that better (hopefully) explains how the calcs are done.

I remember once on a big dose of L I was basically pinned at the godhead while four of em stood around me while laughing at me. They kept trying to get me to laugh more as well.

i don't remember exactly but i followed your tek two separate times and came to the same result. :shrug:

Wasn't the old version 1900g of water to 1100g of everything else (for 3000g total)? Or am I imagining things? If it's 65% of substrate before grain is added, that would explain where my earlier attempts went wrong
