How to get a better yield * 1
    #26639216 - 04/30/20 02:43 PM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Thank you to everyone that’s helped me on my first time growing mushrooms it has been very helpful, but I have a few more questions;

1. What would be my best bet for best yield with only 1/2 lb of inoculated rye spawn bag(not sure what it’s called tbh) and 2 lb of bulk manure substrate. My original plan is to grow out of the bulk bag because I have such a small amount and I’ve heard the bags can maintain higher temps where it is cold where I live.

2. I have tried using agar with a spore syringe multiple times but even when I use a swab the moisture causes bacteria before mycelium.

Living in Maine makes it hard for growing tbh

I think after it colonizes im gonna mix the bulk substrate with it in this container might be pointless because of how small it is.

1/2 lb of spawn isn't much. Maybe make 2 or 3 shoeboxes?

What is that contraption?

I second the shoebox approach. I think it would have the highest yields for 1/2 lbs of spawn.

Living in Maine doesn't make it hard.:wink:

Not following teks makes it hard.

Keep trying agar

If you want higher yield the best and fastest way is make more spawn

If you have a spore syringe you don’t need a swab in the process to agar, just put a drop on the plate. 

I’ve had success just keeping the drop in the middle in instances where all the water in the syringe seems to be harboring bacteria. But I’ve only taken a syringe to agar five or six times ever, I’ve seen other people advise putting the drop in the middle and then slightly tilting to spread out a line and give more chance for a spot of clean mycelium to poke out.

Did you make any prints with your first grow? If not that should be the first thing you do next time to get a mush to pop up.

Thanks everyone, Also I say its hard in Maine because of temps it could be 70 then snow the next day.

what is the shoebox approach

I plan on taking prints after my first mushrooms grows

If you have the money then buy a flow hood. It'll make doing agar work and grain to grain so much easier.

Isn’t 1/2 pound of spawn less than a quart?

That’d be one shoebox worth.

You can grow in anything deep enough really. This is a red bull box with a bag inside I did cuz I was out of shoeboxes.



Also the bottom of 2liters and water jugs works. Seriously anything check out the novelty grow thread.

Water doesn't cause bacteria. Either your spore solution or your sterile Tek are compromised (it both).

The main reasons people get low yields are poor growing conditions and bacterial spawn. Spawn might look fine but still have bacteria that can lower yields.

A good culture definitely helps too. There is no reason you shouldn't get good yields with MS but a good producing clone culture or isolate really helps.

So I got a space heater to help temp and the mycelium is starting to take off, I think Im gonna use a plastic container which I modified to be a very small fruiting chamber. When they grow will there be multiple flushes? When should I harvest a mushroom to make spores prints?

This is my first grow :smile:

Nice! What is your room temp without the space heater? Unless it's real cold it doesn't matter as much as you might think

Yeah typically you get multiple flushes
