just G2Ged using your writeup. I will post here to show progress. Galindoi from millet to multi-grain rice mix hah. I was an idiot and got a mix with barley berries and wheat berries... it became a sticky mess but not unmanageable, still able to shake.
Colonization in 7 days or under is the kind of performance I'm hoping for. Thanks mike

Yes. Please feel free to post your results here. Just understand that sticking grains will lengethen colonization times. Did you cook the rice seperate from the barley and wheat? Was the barley pearled, groats or whole berries?

pearled. Wheat was the same... I saw pasty say he's done it with success a couple times, but no matter how little you cook those things they just goop up. Black and brown rice was already in the mix, but I cooked some up separately as well. Adding a little more rice helped save the mixture from being unusable.

If you use pearled grains, only use up to 10% per mix. Also add them after the 15 minute cook in my Whole Grain Rice Prep tek

Nice tek! I'm gonna try this tonight. Got 5 Medium sized spawn bags with 6qts of oats to inoculate with a qt each tonight. Gonna try this with them. Got 5 1/4 pints of water cooling down from a run in the sterilizer right now.

Keep me updated on that. I've never tried this tek with a thick hull grain like oats. I'm interested to see how well they do though.

Next time, definitely going to try this with wbr. I think the larger grains will help with a smoother g2g.
Millet was too difficult to get out of the jar. There's still about a handful left in the pp5. I may just case it after it turns back into a puck to see if it fruits...

I always end up with a handful of grain left in the jar. It's just the nature of the beast. If want invitro pins, that sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately, I just let it go to waste because the empty jar means more to me than that minute amount of spawn.

Okay, consider me a believer.
October 13th to October 19th. We have full colonization of a galindoi culture that is super slow on a grain mix that was sticky and gross.
10/13 spawned no pic 10/14
 10/15
 10/16
 10/17
 10/19

I'm going to do some wbr tonight or tomorrow morning (within 12-24 hours from now) with an aggressive PE culture. Who wants to bet full colonization in less than 6 days?

Nice. I'm glad to hear someone sharing the same results. I'm sure someone with an agressive isolate could have colonization in 4-5 days. When I was big into muda bottles back in the summer, I was noc'ing those up the same exact way. I had this pe isolate that was constitently 2 days faster than my ksss clone. I was expecting to see a lot of burst kernels with the way you described them being sticky and all but they actually don't look bad at all. Interesting grain combo by the way.

I'm playing with an accidental isolate from MS, its painfully slow on agar. However, the transfer from qt to medium bag seems to have sped things up nicely! 6-7 days after the knock up and I haven't even shaken the bags since knocking them up but they are around 80% I'd say. I also did the transfer from qt to bags at about 99% colonization of the qts. I wanted to keep the mycelium moving instead of being stagnant even for a day.
Also, one of the 5 bags sides burst open after I inoculated it, sealed it, and started shaking it up. The rupture was small so only a few grains were lost. Looks like the glue gun saved the day for that bag!
Pics later tonight probably.

Interesting. Can't wait to see pics. I've never done grain bags before. Perhaps one day I will give them a go.
