Quick question about spawn bags!
    #23644058 - 09/14/16 08:33 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Quick question about spawn bags!


How fast should a 100% colonized 6 pounds spawn bag recover after breaking the mycelium up?

My second attempt of growing b+ in monotubs failed spectacular (6 monotubs gave me 6 good shrooms in all)

I think the problem is that my spawn is contaminated.
I use unicorn spawn bags with 6 ponds of rye and when I mix it with the substrate the spawn smells like mushrooms but also has an odour like dark beer or rye bread – is this normal?

Is it a fermentation like smell?

And i mean you should start to see ssigns of re colonization 1-2 days...

the smell is more like dark rye bread or if you know the smell of pumpernickel bread
Here are some photos of one of my spawn bags:

Unless you're making your own spawn bags and got past using a spore syringe it will probably contaminate every time

6 pound grain bags should be inoculated within 24 hours of sterilization. Shipping defeats that.

Big grain bags should not be inoculated with a spore syringe either.

Spore syringes are for PF cakes

Are those bags sealed? Do they have a filter?

:whathesaid:


  u should see good recovery in no more than 24hours.  it may not be totally "recongealed" in 24 hours, but it should be on its way.

im a smoker, so take this with a grain of salt, but if u are shaking spawn bag, and the smell is pretty powerful, there may be a pin hole leak.  I really have to get up to the filter with my nose to smell spawn when I'm shaking.

15psi for 2 hours is way short of a cycle for bags. I do that for quart jars.
