Where to go from here?
    #26560746 - 03/27/20 08:56 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hey Everyone,

I just began my first experiment with bird seed about a couple weeks ago and things are going pretty well for the time being, but I am having some trouble figuring where I want to go from here.

I inoculated 7 quarts of birdseed with an MS Syringe and they all have growth, but they vary between about 2%-50% in total colonization. I was wondering if I should wait till they all reach a certain threshold and shake the jars all at once or do it one by one as they hit the threshold?

I am also in a pretty tight situation with money and I would like to refrain from buying anything not completely necessary, but I should already have supplies handy to fruit. I am wondering what the best option would be going forward that still allows me to pull the largest yield possible for the supplies I have.

I have a large brick of coir, a large bag of coarse verm, a large bag of cow poo, some gypsum. I have one of BODs unmodified monotub from a previous experiment I never ended up going through with and also a bunch of those shoeboxes that I picked up a while ago. Which do you figure would yield more 6-7 shoeboxes or one large 56 quart monotub?

IME shaking the jars around 20-30% is ok the ones at 50 should have been done awhile ago, I mean you could wait till the ones that are farther along to colonize all the way but if you shake you’ll have complete jars by the end of the weekend if your mycelium is healthy. As for yield it not only a setup but a genetics thing since the genes are coming from MSS it’s like a crap shoot. I’d recommend agar work once you have the funds to increase the predictability of the yield. If you got good genetics mono could do between 6-8oz first flush and another 4-6 in the following, it’s not unheard of getting lb out of monos I’d recommend going that way although I have no experience with shoeboxes.

I agree with everything that PiptheGreAtest stated. I would add that because you're conserving your resources at the moment, you'll probably be better off using shoeboxes instead of a single mono. Because you went MS to grain there's a high likelihood of contamed spawn, so going to shoeboxes improves your chances of having a successful run from this batch by spreading things out.

Yeah it's like quarentine for your jars. You can stretch your supplies out farther and have a higher rate of success in the event that one of your jars is harboring a contamination.

Just spawn the shoeboxes six feet apart  :grin:
