CVG+cut straw+coffee grounds sterilized
    #27016098 - 11/01/20 05:32 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Alright, I’m experimenting and trying to mix a bunch of stuff together and see how well the mycelium likes this.
So coco coir mixed up with vermiculite, gypsum, cut straw, and coffee grounds, sterilized.
I had a bad run recently of coir I didn’t pasteurize properly and got shit tons of trich so I say fuck it I’m sterilizing everything I possibly can to keep things clean.
Currently trying this with PE6 and with Orissa, (both on feed corn)
Really hoping it doesn’t contam. Not opening any of these fucking shoe boxes until they are white like fucking snow.

How did you sterilize your sub?

Pasteurization is usually safer than sterilizing because it leaves some microbes behind that prevent mold spores from germinating. Sterilizing creates a blank canvas that is more approachable for many contaminants.

I like the experiment but consider keeping the substrate in jars with a filter or filter patch bags after sterilizing.

alternatively give pasteurization another chance.

:whathesaid: and your grow didn't fail because you "failed to pasteurize your coir properly". you can sterilize coir, pasteurize it, or even use it without heating it at all and it'll be fine as long as you don't go way over field capacity. that grow probably failed because your spawn wasn't clean.

I used an instant pot on sterilizing for 2:30.
You know, I suspect that infected spawn was the case and I was sold contaminated liquid culture, the person selling me said I fucked up on pasteurizing and I am a newbie. Thinking I just got bunk product then. It was Jalisco. Only a few of the jars have produced any stones and they are pathetic.
So yeah, sounds like I got fucked over. Also so called LC is taking weeks to work from this source where the other source has mycelium in literally one to two days.
That attempt at sterilizing was using 5L plastic bucket with lots of boiling water. I think I may have used too much water but still...yeah I think I got fucked

Sterilizing shit like coffee or straw and then spawning it in open air is asking for mold...begging for it. Buying LC from a stranger on the internet sounds retarded to me as well. I can’t imagine leaving something as risky as making the LC in the hands of a stranger online.

That doesn’t make it sound less ridiculous.

And you’re correct, they all horribly failed
