Sunflower seeds with hulls as spawn?
    #28026253 - 10/31/22 02:24 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Obviously not the first choice for spawn, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever used straight sunflower seeds with hulls as spawn?

What was you're experience?

Wouldn't recommend it since sunflower seeds have a very high fat content. I've only heard bad things from people trying to do so.

there have been pretty successful grows off the sunflower seeds in WBS, donโ€™t have time to dig for them but people have done it. wouldnโ€™t be my first choice but itโ€™ll probably be fine if everything else is done properly

Pink oysters are supposed to taste like bacon, maybe if you grow them out of fatty sunflower seeds you'll end up with some vegan bacon hah.

I have no experience with it but from what I understood people remove the sunflower seeds with hulls from wild bird seed because of the air pocket inside the hull and the increased chance of contamination hiding in it.

To decide to use it exclusively would seem to increase contam risk substantially.

Like I said though, I havent tried it. Doesnt sound too expensive to give it a shot. Maybe run it in the PC a bit longer to compensate?

you donโ€™t need to remove the sunflower seeds, thatโ€™s just some old myth that still floats around

There is so much info out there (and even old posts here) and its hard to figure out what is current and what is bro science.

Starting to think if it was posted more than a year or so back you need to do more research.
