Smallest amount of grain spawn in a grow?
    #26649508 - 05/05/20 01:20 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi!

I'm waiting around for collection of jars to colonize. Oat grains, and most of them seem healthy.
Thing is two of the jars went ahead and have been 100% colonized for weeks with the other ones either stalling or growing really slow the last 20%.
The jars are rather small, 1/4 quart or so. (I live in Europe and couldn't get hands on a large enough PC, so there's a lot of the smaller jars being used heh)

As the title says, what is the "smallest" amount of spawn to use in a bulk grow/minitub? I have around 0.5qt of spawn totally ready. Can I use that or is it better to wait for the others?

Get creative, find a small container, a bible

a coffee cup or wine glass. Have some fun with it. Check out Novelty Grows for ideas.

half a quart would go a long way inside legos flipped upside down :grin:

I took at max 20 grains from the bottom of a jar that got stuck when i was spawning, put them with my avocado tree in a planter that got water regularly, and got many... mannny suprises.

These are 1/2 qt in a glad container @ 1:1 rye to CV


Colonized with the lid on with a few 1/4” holes covered with micro pore tape until colonized and then put into 2 gallon ziplocks with needle holes poked in the bag at about 2” apart


Worked pretty well


Even smaller works too.. ~1/4 cup of rye to 1:1 CV in a tall 1/2 pint... press n seal was put over the jar with 1 needle hole poked in the middle and when I fruited them, I took the PnS off and put a sandwich baggie over them
.

Just gotta get creative like ababyphoenix said

Take a transparent 1l ice cream tub and spawn it in there. Just don't seal the lid off.

Jeeez it looks like that one read a few to many times during sex ed... I guess the spores still could've caught the current outta there

Finally some of my advice agreed upon by a TC lol, im getting somewhere. Glad u included ratios, those fucking things always confused me until i realized i was over thinking and the 1:1 ratio wasnt by volume or weight or something complicated etc lol, you just KISS and eyeball 1:1 (or preffered ratio) or use jars if u wanna be preciseish

Thanks for your ideas!

Gonna check on Novelty Ideas.

Haha, legos, glads and ice cream tubs - Great!
Guess it's a matter of perspective and outside thinking then. Ty!

Of course man! I linked that just to show how some people take this hobby a bit more serious but if you're firmiliar with the process and have a half a brain about what your doing you can throw some spawn and coir in a damn shoe (Or on a HAT!) and get a few flushes  :rockon:

Let us know how she turns out, btw page 33 of novely grows is all RR's novely stuff where i got the bible :P  Also look at that sexy bra  :headbang:

Ps dont wait, one your jars have been colonized and consolidated for about a week spawn em if u wait to long it can make the process harder i hear. You dont want old spawn. Also if you did all the jars at the same time, same shake intervels and everything the jars that are taking a long time to recover are probably contaminated, just saying. Now Get to finding some nice sized legos, or a wet phonebook or somethin lol

Hello again! A little follow up, since some of you asked and it's nice to share the process.

Here's two of the four small containers I used for my spawn. Coir/Verm sub and plastic on top for humidity etc.

A lot of sidepinning in the smaller one, and some issue with dryness (I think?) in the bigger.
Other than that, any thoughts? Should I pick the "blobs/curved" shrooms and let the others grow complete?
Does the shrooms look okay so far, or are there any signs of contam?
Appreciate every input, this is a first grow after all, and there's lots to learn heh.

Thanks!

How long did the small glad containers take from inoculation to your first flush? Same question for the jars? Was trying to find a quicker method in getting a healthy clone for larger grow setup doing g2g transfers

Both kinds of jars were spawned to sub 20 days ago. Around 1:1 spawn/sub and put into fruiting 9 days after spawn :smile:

But I inoculated the oat grains used for this grow two months before spawning, though the grain had been fully colonized for at least one month prior to this.

Don’t leave grain spawn so long unless you’re slowing the growth in the fridge. Those mushies look a little deformed but solid. Make a qt jar of grain spawn, and then cut it in half into two qt sized ziplock rounds with coir substrate and you should have some solid results.
