Flour vs Grain Spawn Comparison
    #26343842 - 11/25/19 04:15 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bag 1: Sorghum Grains
Bag 2: 50% Sorghum Grains + 50% Sorghum Flour & Vermiculite
Bag 3: Sorghum Flour & Vermiculite

The Flour and Vermiculite mixtures are 1/3 Flour & 2/3 Vermiculite.

All bags were inoculated with agar and only mixed up the day of inoculation.


Before Inoculation:



6 days after Inoculation:




*There's no clear point I'm trying to make with these results. This is just a place to document and share my results and view the input and experience from other growers.

So far It's pretty clear that the flour/verm mixtures are colonizing much faster than just grains. Read a lot about how growers are having more contams when switching to grains as apposed to flour/verm. I'd assume it's one of three reasons,
1. They need to learn how to prep grain properly.
2. It's just generally easier to sterilize flour as apposed to grains at lower temps/shorter pc times.
3. I forgot... but this isn't the main purpose of this post anyways. Faster colonization on flour/verm, therefor mycelium gets a foothold on the nutes before anything else does.

I haven't seem much info with Sorghum flour, seems like a rather solid alternative to the common Brown rice flour if sourcing is an issue like it is for me.
