Shoebox Tek Questions
    #26797385 - 07/01/20 04:22 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ahoy lads,

I'm looking into doing a shoebox tek as a beginner and I've been doing my homework beforehand so I don't mess it all up. I've seen lots of videos out there on how to make grain spawn and how to make decent substrate but I'm not super confident in my ability to avoid contamination during that whole process.

I've seen some mushroom grow kits on amazon from Out Grow and I was wondering if anybody on here had any insight into whether those produce pretty consistent fruits or if they contam easily. The grow kit I'm talking about comes with separate bags for grain and substrate, not all in one. If anybody has experience using substrate and/or grain from a kit I'd love to hear your thoughts.

My second question is about sterilization of the tub. Most of the video guides just throw the substrate and grain together into the tub without really going over it with rubbing alcohol. I only saw one guy that used a flow hood. I feel like the tub should be disinfected more thoroughly unless its really not that important? If that's the case, how clean are we talking, like closed door and wiped down bathroom clean or should I be planning to build a glovebox?

Out Grow is the tits! Love their products and have never had any trouble. THAT BEING SAID, I've only ever ordered hardware and bags of rye berries with the port from them.
When you put in your order, tell em you're a member here btw, and use the promo code, "welcome" as a first timer for 10% off :awetongue:

That aside, I've spawned to sub in open air while jammimg and drinking with friends. I've never, ever had the first sign of contamination. Simple cleaning will do, just wipe down your stuff with 70% iso and let dry. I prepared my spawn for this by simply turning off all factors that move air for an hour, taking a shower, wearing clean clothes/gloves and disinfecting all tools and area walls etc with 70% iso. Be extra careful during inoculation or transfers, as that is the most vulnerable step in the process. Coco coir is my go to, it's extremely tough, and IF your spawn is clean, then your entire grow will likely be clean.

Best of luck to you friend :heart:

If you’re using just coir, and assuming your spawn is totally colonized, then you don’t need to worry about sterile stuff when spawning tubs.

:whathesaid:
I usually have a cigarette hanging out of my mouth :lol: I poured my spawn and coir in a tub without the lid the other day and it was hours before I mixed it all together.

As long as the spawn is clean then you're golden!
