Grain bag question
    #26816764 - 07/11/20 08:20 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Greetings all,

On 6/16 I inoculated 12 rye bags with clean liquid culture (confirmed on agar) in a SAB. They were mixed on 6/30 and have been growing rapidly. Temps have been maintained in the upper 60's/low 70's. As of today 9 of the bags look like this:





3 of the bags don't look quite as fully colonized and seem to have more condensation than the others:






I'm planning to cultivate them in shoeboxes. My 2 questions are 1) do these look bacterial, and 2) are they far enough along to mix with coir?

Thanks for the quick replies. Each bag contains 1 lb of rye berries. I plan to mix 1 bag with 1 qt of coir in a 7 qt shoebox, then top it with an additional pint of coir as recommended in the SFF shoebox tek. If you think they look ready I'll begin prepping the coir today.

As an aside I purchased 3 identical bricks of coir for this project. Each was supposed to weigh 650g but the actual weights were 660g, 700g and 740g. The take home lesson is to weigh each brick before hydrating as the actual weight can vary considerably. The formula I picked up on this site for using coir-only is to multiply the grams of coir x5 to get the total mL of water, but then subtract 8% from that number to achieve field capacity. After topping with the additional pint of coir I'll then spray with water for about 20 seconds to help establish proper surface conditions, then put the lid on. Sound reasonable?

With that tek you want to stay under field
capacity.
You give your top layer a heavy mist then.
