First grow attempt mycofarm grow bag and b+!
    #23566069 - 08/22/16 01:51 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hey!

Haven't posted much here as I've been lurking and learning the last few months! But figured I'd finally post some pics of my grow to date! I started using a 6kg rye grain bag, and injected it with half of a syringe of b+ on around the 16/7/16.

Some pics of the progress:



After a shake up:






Once it was fully colonized I cut the top off the bag and cased the top with the verm/polymer mix that the kit came with, also moved the whole thing to a much larger bag with perlite in the bottom.

After about 5 days I ended up getting quite worried, as on the right side of the bag there were patches of yellow liquid appearing, and from what I read it wasn't really a good sign! But I also read a few posts saying that there was no harm in leaving the bag to see what might happen! I opted for that choice, as I haven't managed to gather together everything I need for my next project yet!

Luckily the mycelium seems to be doing okay as in the last few days it's started fruiting!





Those pictures were taken a day apart, I'm amazed at how fast they grow once they pop through!!

I have noticed though on the bigger one, a bit of fur towards the bottom, and from what I've read that could be due to over misting? I've also sliced a few holes down the bag, as there are alot of side pins developing! Wondering if this was okay? As I plan to add one more down the right side so the bag won't get in the way!

Next time I plan on going for either a SGFC or monotub, as I didn't realise bags weren't as good! But I'm pretty pleased with my results so far!

One thing I did wonder though, is after the first flush, would it be okay to remove the mycelium from the bag, dunk for 12 hours, then replace into the humidity tent as it is on a piece of foil ontop of the perlite? There is a small chance I'll be able to get a SGFC together by then, but figured I'd ask just incase!

Update with pics of the progress:




Still seems to be some white fluff around the base of a few, so i've been fanning lots more and spraying less!

You put your lump of cased rye in a bag with perlite?  What are you even following..?

If you read my whole post, then you'd probably know.. It's also in the title.

I'm aware that grow bags are frowned upon here, and as I said above I'm already planning to do it properly next time.. I was just excited with how things were turning out, so figured I'd post a grow log!

I re-read the post and am not any closer to knowing why you put it in a larger bag with perlite. :shrug:  Just don't worry about it then...

Sorry, I should have just explained,

The grow bag came with a thing the site calls a "humidity tent" which is supposed to act as a fruiting chamber.

Although after reading here I know it's not really worth using!

My problem is, I don't get paid till tomorrow, and then I'm away till Sunday, so the nearest I'll get to building a proper fruiting chamber is early next week if I'm lucky and can find the supplies!

So this first flush will have to be done in the bag thing it came with!



On a side note:

Just double checked, and the largest and second largest mushrooms were ready to pick as the veil had torn on both of them! Largest one came in at 12.9g, smalller one was 4.6g!

Harvest is looking great for the first flush! Will pop some pics up in a bit!

Got a few questions for anyone who reads this though, I stopped off in a gardening supplies place today and picked up a massive clear box with sealing lid, plus a big bag of both vermiculite and perlite!

So I'm all set for moving it in there and fruiting it like a giant pf jar on the next flush!

Q1: Should I wash off the weird polymer/wood casing I used in flush one, and just roll the whole thing in vermiculite once i've done a 12 hour dunk? Or is it best to leave it there? As i'm sure the mycelium will have colonised it a bit!

Q2: I don't have a drill to hand just yet, so is there a good way to make holes without a drill?

Q3: I plan on doing a monotub with the big tub next time, will that affect where I should put the holes when compared to a SGFC?

Will go read up now and see what I can find out, and then will snap some pics of the cake as it's looking great! Ended up leaving it for two days and was worried, but the shrooms look only slightly over mature!


Edit:

Total wet weight so far is 75.3g! Looks like I'll still maybe get 5-10 more depending on how the last few grow!

Thought I may aswell update this with the results of my second flush:








Total wet weight for this flush was 142.4g  So in total I've managed to harvest 218.4g!

Will be dunking for 12 hours and trying for a third flush, but to be honest I'm more than happy with the results so far! Have also got all the stuff I need to start a monotub grow next, so will be getting that going soon and probably posting another log!

Inoc asks such questions because normally with grain, you break it up and put it in substrate. You only use brf or pf tek to put cakes in such an emvironment. Grains are useful in spreading the mycellium you already have for larger flushes where as cakes are meant to be made in multiples and put in a fruiting chamber- 

Basically next time you could do nearly the same thing but break the rye up, micx in some vermeculite and coco coir, and put it in the bag :thumbup:

Look into monotubs
