Do you still advise removing the cracked corn and sunflower seeds?

Depends how heavy it is with it.

I remove 95% of mine because there is just so damn much sunflower.  Some people say the oil helps, have not read a definitive answer yet.  I just know using a a lot of them is not good.

Thanks for the tek, dear God there's a lot to read and analyze.
On the topic of gypsum, is there any reason not to use a little?
Again, thanks for the tek Foo, I was pretty much set on Docs, but this gives me more to think about.
I'm hoping to get started this weekend, but I'm new and can't read some threads/teks etc for 9 more days, so if I can stand it I'll hold off until next week.

If you have gypsum, use it! Gypsum will not affect PH levels,  so this can be added without worry.

i also use pickling lime with my soak water! works great! not for ph balance but more to clean the gunk off the wbs. old hands used to use jet dry in their grain soaks as a releasing agent for the same purpose.

I don't mess with gypsum but a little certainly couldn't hurt.

I always soak with a bit of coffee added.
It seems soaking for 30 mins or less works best. When ever I go longer my jars tend to pool up at the bottom until I shake them. No matter how long of a drain.
With 30 mins, let drain (hair dryer optional), load and pc. Have 0 issues.

I find the millet tends to be dry-ish with that short timing, and doesn't look like it colonizes that well.  The jars do shake and colonize.

If it's pooling with longer times, chances are you need to dry it better, one way or another.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

No, this does not look right...

I feel you there. i have hit or miss with wbs, i think due to moisture and corn factor. i cant find rye or Pennington's so i have been trying to pick out the corn. i have more contam issues when i put a layer of verm on top of the wbs, even with pressure cooker at 20 psi for 90 plus minutes. for me verm on the bottom or as dry as possible wbs has been the best so far. i had a bit of trouble starting fruiting but i think i fixed that issue. now i have some small practice tubs that smell more like beer than shrooms, i assume i should chuck into the oops pile in the yard. i wasn't sure it wasn't co2 but i think its not now lol. does cobweb mold smell ? the trays look like they are colonized with something white. also what is safe ratio of peroxide and water to not injure mycelium? good luck all. happy growing.what a wonderful cure for depression!

Then rinse the seeds well:

After rinsing, you want the excess water to drain. I myself don't wait a half hour or anything for this step, I just shake the the strainer like a chef does on the cooking shows until I don't see more than a drop or two of water.







The only thing i do differently is remit the final rinse. The grains are soaking wet anyway from straining them for 15 minutes and finish being fully hydrated in the pc not the hot soak.

I hope you know how good it feels to read an awesome tek from a few years ago and then have someone recently say they still use it and would recommend it :smile:

Thank you, and a big thank you to Foo! I greatly appreciate your time :thanx:

How did your WBS feel after the soak? Mine are still kind of hard. I've heard they should be almost soft between your fingers, but not total mush. I had a few grains burst too unfortunately. Might need to ditch this batch

In the process of doing this Tek. I have only used rye grain from the Oss Oeric method which is nearly 40 years old. Just goes to show that some teks will never age. Just like this one. TY.
