Popcorn tek - gas exchange during colonization
    #23934635 - 12/17/16 06:39 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Hey people,

I'm trying to grow psylocibin cubensis for the first time following the popcorn tek (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UxO0IJZHzA). After seeing so many videos about the importance of pressure cookers and sterilization, I thought this method was borderline reckless. However, tomorrow marks the first week since inoculation and all six jars are looking like this (YAY!):



The guy's videos mention removing the tape from one of the holes to improve gas exchange after the first mycelia start developing on day 7. However, from the 2 week mark one can see all the strips in place...
Does anyone know if the tape is supposed to be removed for a couple of minutes/hours and then put back on again? My jars don't have holes - for the first week the lid should be firmly attached, and the equivalent for removing the tape on week 2 would be to crack the lid open a bit? (and then close it tight again?).

Thanks so much for the help!

No uncolonized grains should be exposed to any unfiltered air at any time

So no air exchange during the collonization process at all? Lids tightly shut and no air holes open for the 2-3 weeks it takes?

That whole tek video stinks.  If you inoculated the jars as shown in the vid, you should dump them.  In fact, you'll save a lot of time and heartache if you dump them now and start over with a tek off this site.

Well, so far it's working fine without the need of a pressure cooker... (Or gloves or syringes!! *gasps in horror!!*)

I'll let you know if I need to rent out a sterilized ER hospital room to grow mushrooms in case the method I tried fails.

Are you serious? Not PCing corn, opening jars in open air, dropping in spores scraped from a dirty print in open air and dropping them right in? Where am I?

If you have used a Miraculix Psilocybin QTest, could you please share your results?
