First time trying oats. I decided to do a small test batch to both verify the validity of my new oats and to compare two preparation methods. The jar on the left was prepared essentially using Bod's oat prep tek. I brought the oats and water to a boil then covered them for about 35 minutes. A fair percentage have burst and most are cooked all the way through. The ones on the right were prepared by bringing water to a boil, pouring the oats in, then taking it off the heat and letting it sit for 45 minutes. These oats were still fairly hard when I strained them and the insides were very white. I let both sets of oats dry for about an hour then jarred and PC'd them for 2 hours. They were inoculated with albino Louisiana agar wedges 4 days ago. Both are looking OK right now so I'm not sure which method I will use to prep oats in the near future.
Do those who prepare their oats the second way, letting them sit off the heat for 45 minutes, notice they are still pretty raw?

Search G2G or Graing to Grain TEKS. There gotta be a million. One noob to another, search before asking and if ya did, say so.

This is general discussion though, this is not a new post on the boards, people come here to drop quick questions and stuff, even I do, while mentioning how/when to search is important, this thread is good for this type of general discussion!
I fill my jars about 2/3rds of the way, maybe a tiiiny bit less due to them going to receive more grain from the master jar during g2g. There is no exact amount. I always like to think about what RR said to me, mycology is a science... but it's also an art.

How much grain you use in your receiving jar depends on how much spawn you are going to inoculate them with. Typically you would expand 1 qt of spawn into 10 qts. If this is what your plan is than 3 cups of hydrated grain per receiving jar would be just fine.

Make sure you leave yourself enough empty space to shake after g2g and you're good.

Grateful

I always try and find the answer here before asking. A lot of what I was finding were pretty old threads. I'm about to load them up to pc and just asked for clarification real quick. Thanks guys.

There's some filters for the search to that can help sometimes. Especially sorting your results by date so you get recent stuff instead of old. Good luck.

I go real heavy on the g2g most of the time. I usually fill the jars half way and then split a colonized quart between four jars. But yeah depends how much spawn you want to make.
A pint of millet into a 5qt bag of wbs finishes super quick, like 6-7 days.

I typically set the date to newer than 7 years. Prior to that you will get a lot of voodoo bullshit sometimes.

No prob, fellow noob. I got edumacated by PrepH. I understand much of the search engine and still cant tweak results even for shit I read and just forgot the thread.

I always dumped a shitload of colonized grain into receiving jars. Otherwise it takes for damn ever. Jst like squirting 1ml of lc into a clean jar of grain feels like dropping in a single colonized grain. Takes for damn ever to colonize.
So ships dnt have an issue with the 14ga, eh? I wud thnk it wud core out a piece of the ship at that diameter.

One more question I just thought of since I'm on my 1st bulk grow starting from MSS. How often are fruits a "dud" in terms of potency when starting from MSS? Half the time I barely trip on 3.5g, but got blasted off of 2g one time, lol. Clones have a more consistent potency, right?

The needle is really thick. The injection ports were a one time use with those needles. I would use 3-4 60ml syringes for 200-250ml LC. I would store my LC in the syringes if I wasn't going to use it right away. Otherwise, leaving any LC in the jar after poking it with one of those needles ran the risk of contamination.
