First attempt at bulk! Wanting opinions and feedback!
    #23500445 - 08/02/16 12:00 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I used my quart of African Transkei's and pasteurized 3.5-4 quart jars of straw in a canning pot between 160and 180 for an hour and 15 mins.
I let it fan cool on oven rack over sink I'm pillow case.
I used a 6 qt. Sterilite and laid 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch layers of straw with layers crumbled spawn inbetween both wheat berry + wbs. 6 or 7 layers. I used a identical container to set on top and put all my weight on it for about 5 mins.
Then, I took a gallon bag and cut off the top and cut it open and used it to tuck downaround the edges and tuck in the substrate and then heated a fork to poke a set of holes every square inch on the bag. I then put the lid on it  and put it in my room near my shotgun where it will get ambient light 3-5hrs a day. Does this sound right? Also, For fruiting I have an identical tub to run it as a dub tub or just set the finished bulk into my shotgun terrarium? What's better/ i could do Better / differently?

Pillow case method leaches nutes and is messy. 180 is too hot and is borderline partial sterilization. You will be lucky if it doesn't mold. I do 140-160 myself for 60-70 min. 1:4 spawn ratio is quite low and while it can work it will require a longer window to complete spawn run (which might be tricky due to the temps you pasteurized at) and will be a lower yield relative to the fruiting area.

Those straw pieces are longer than 1/2 to 3/4". It may have a hard time with them.
