Best way to fruit 10 pound reishi bags?
    #27128170 - 01/05/21 12:42 PM (3 years, 23 days ago)

Hi guys! Hope you are having a great year:thumbup:

I have these 10 pound bags sitting for 17 days now and they don't seem too far to get 100% colonized.
What would be the best way to fruit these? And how do I know when it's the optimal point to fruit them?
I was thinking of slicing them from just one side in a couple days but I'm not sure really. Other thing that crossed to my mind was just to open the end of the bag (just unsealing the tie) and letting them be.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks

Not entirely sure tbh but I have noticed that most bags of reishi have space at the top and that they start to top fruit when ready. All I've seen is people cutting 2-4" above the substrate on the bag and letting them continue fruiting from there in their FC.

Like this

If you open the top of the bag they will grow antlers before conking, if you cut slits on the side they will conk out. Either way sounds good to me. One benefit of opening the top is that you can maintain high humidity for pinning easily.

They look good, what was your method of treating the substrate?

Thanks for the answers guys!
I'm gonna contemplate the next days which way to take then.

Dave! I made all these bags following lipa's pasteurization tek, but instead of mixing it all up inside the bag, I layed them both grains and substrate on a table, mixed it all up well with gloves and then loaded them up until almost 4/5 full each bag, tied them and poked some holes all around 360 degrees (with the scalpel, separated with around 2 inches apart).
Initially I wanted to do just holes 180 degrees but it didn't seem to work well, so I made them at the back and colonization went better
