First bulk grow questions
    #23976638 - 01/02/17 04:17 PM (7 years, 28 days ago)

So I had a question about pasteurization and just to make it clear I'm using manure compost and straw for my bulk substrate and I was wanting to know if it would be fine if I pasteurized it at the same time I inoculate my grains using the pillow tek  and then when the grains are done colonizing I could spawn to bulk without having to pasteurize it then and have to wait that extra day for it to cool off but the only thing I was worried about is that it would be open to all contaminations.
Oh and I got one more question, if I dunk my grains before I use them to spawn to bulk is it fine if I just use tap water to dunk and is it worth the trouble to dunk the grains before spawning to bulk or should I wait until after the first flush and then dunk it?

Pasteurization right before spawning. Do not pasteurize ahead of time

I use tap water to dunk my grains all the time, you should have no problems with it

Looks like your original 2 questions were answered.

Sweet I was told to use non breathable tape to cover all the holes on my tub when colonizing to help with co2 would the lid provide enough GE?
I also heard that you can stuff all the holes really tight with poly and put the hole tub in a trash bag too.
I just wanna know the best way to go about it so I don't fuck anything up.

You could put it in fruiting conditions immediately and it wouldn't matter.

Don't put it in a trash bag whatever you do though

Most growers these days like to dial in their tubs with polyfill when spawning, it helps save time and makes the process a little bit easier

Ok thanks for all the help I think I'm gonna try using tape for colonizing, can I ask why I shouldn't use a trash bag though?

If i were to use poly when spawning would you stuff all the holes tight to help with co2 levels? Or would you stuff the bottom holes tight and barely pack the top holes?

The trash bag is unnecessary because the tub does not have to be in complete darkness for the mycelium to colonize fully.

You can spawn them with poly tight on the bottom holes and medium on the top holes and dial the top ones back down a notch once pinning starts. That's just my personal method.

But, you can stuff all holes at medium tightness, like Azur does in his tek, it's really up to you to see what works best, goodluck!

Because it cuts off air exchange and blocks light...

Why even worry about co2 levels you can't tell or test them anyway. Also co2 doesn't sink, it doesn't go out bottom holes either. Co2 is infinitely miscable and mixes with air immediately becoming homogeneous.
