New to Spawn bag: Questions regarding g2g vs grain-LC, impulse sealing and how much to use?
    #23466324 - 07/22/16 02:47 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hey there Shroomery! Long time lurker and long time fan. I've been using this site for 10 years and it's amazing seeing how much support is available and what myths have been busted in almost 2 decades!

I'm currently transitioning from a small operation with quart jars to a large operation with spawn bags and monotubs using damiontek5050's coir tek.

I currently have 2 monotubs already growing successfully but it's my first time using massive spawn bags with filter patches.

I have an AA941 that I have used to PC 25lbs (25!) of rye successfully!  I followed Frank's tek with the tyvek going through the entire top of the bag. I still haven't opened the PC until I am ready to inoculate.

I have spawn quart jars of colonized rye that I was going to use to do g2g transfer to the new spawn bags.

Question 1: I don't have a still air box. But I do have a small closet (no carpet in there) that I've sprayed and wiped down top to bottom and running a HEPA filter in there for days on end. I'm going to make all my transfers in there and I'm hoping that's a good option. Is that a good option?

Question 2: So, if I do a grain 2 grain transfer in the closet, I'm going to remove the tyvek carefully out of the freshly PC'd bags and then dump the spawn into the bag and then impulse seal the top of the plastic and then let it hang from the closet with grippers, yes?

Question 3: I am thinking of not doing a g2g because it might open me up for contamination without a flowhood or SAB and that doing a GRAIN-LC would be a better option. (I could use this "tek" to make LC from spawn: how to make LC from grain)  Given my clean-closet setup, should I do a grain-LC or g2g transfer? I know g2g is fastest, but is the contamination risk greater given my closet setup? Should be fine, right? (To me, no contamination is priority.)

Question 4: If I was doing g2g, I was going to put a quart of spawn in each spawn bag. But if I am doing a grain-LC, how many cc/mL's of LC in each spawn bag?  These bag are loaded quite heavy (rye goes up to a couple inches below the filter patch).

It seems like doing a grain-LC would be safer through the filter patch and then just tape up the filter patch hole with some alcohol swabbed micropore tape.

Any guidance in this stage of my mushroom cultivation would be highly appreciated. Thanks.  Please let me know if you are confused about anything as I have written a lot and this is my first post to the community. (Thank you ALL for such a great resource!)

How did you spawn those quart jars? Did you do that in your closet or had a SAB at the time? The closet doesn't seem like a good idea based on what I've been reading here for a long time. Seems like you've put in a lot of work to cut corners on this step. You can find a tall plastic tub for less than $20 that would probably work fine for your purposes.

You got all that shit and cant melt 2 holes in a tote? The cleaners you used on the closet cost close to the same as a tote. Build an SAB brother it would suck to lose all that grain just cause you didnt want to run to the store or whatever.

Also i am falling in love with lc. When done from agar i have had no problems so far. As for how many ccs i am not sure cause ive never done the bags but its worth experimenting with for sure. Good luck i hope you get a fat ass tub.

It was really late (or early) when I came across this thread and posted my comment. Didn't realize how old it was until just reading your post. Was dalerious and needed sleep so wasn't paying much attention.
