I have a couple of all-in-one bags that are completely colonized.

The manufacturer suggests cutting open the top of the bag when fruiting... You can adjust FAE by clipping the bag more or less open.

But I could put them in a water tub. I also have verm and coir to work with.

Would you just leave 'em in the bag or put 'em in a new home?

(Don't scold me about the bags, I know better now whic his why I have tubs, verm, and coir on hand... But I may as well get everything out of these dumb bags that I can!)

I have so much coir left from my batch i hydrated 15 days ago. It's sitting in a bucket with a lid.

I plan to use it for a batch of coir PF cakes next week.

This means it's been sitting for 3 weeks when i will use it again.

Good idea or should i prepare new coir?

I use old coir, its relatively non nutritive. Unless you really severely over hydrated it, it should be fine, especially since youre not breaking up your cakes.

Check it for field capacity before using :smile:

Hi everyone, I am PCing spawn bags for the first time and every attempt when I take the bags out I find some condensation in them. I have made sure to dry the grains (whole rye) for multiple days after soaking and cooking them, so they feel completely dry to the touch before PCing them. It seems like a lot of moisture so I am not sure if they will be able to be colonized. I folded the bag properly so that it is sealed. I have read other places that the moisture will be reabsorbed by the grains, but I would like some other input. Are these too wet? What should I fix?

Yeah grains bags are gonna get condensation especially after coming fresh out of the PC, the temperature differential causes moisture and steam to condense.

Just mix the grains around to redistribute the moisture and the grains should reabsorb the water in a couple of days. You dont need to wait to inoculate them though, theyll absorb it regardless.

(Dont put spores to grain, if youre thinking of doing so :P)

Thanks.

I just made a new syringe and i plan to do a side-by-side comparison of regular PF cakes with verm and with coir instead.

My coir is a little bit over-hydrated but not that much.

Should be fine. Throw a few handfuls of verm into it to get it to field capacity before usig it :smile:! Good luck, im excited to see your results!

Thank you!

What do you mean by do not put spores to grain? I'm planning to stick on a SHIP and inject the spore syringe.

You generally dont want to put spore syringes to grain because spores are collected in open air non sterile environments, there is no way to guarantee contaminant free spores.

You can certainly risk it and it can work, but i wouldnt suggest it, much of the time you end up with bacteria or mold contaminants. Doing PF tek or Agar to clean up spores is the way to go Imo. But its your spores and your grains, do what you will with that info :smile:...

I'm getting a new compost bin one for spent subs. Should I break them apart or just plop them in if I want to see if they fruit anything out in the elements?

Would just throw them in and toss some straw or leaf litter ontop to keep a nice microclimate

I usually have to add a bit of water to field capacity CV when I use it in cakes so you’re over FC coir might be perfect for cakes.  It makes sense too.. you’re adding some dry brf to the CV.

I try to store wet things with at least a little GE.  I’ll store extra CV in a large ziplock and keep the zipper open an inch or so.  Sealing off a wet environment is asking for trouble.  Cv should be good stored wet for long periods but there has been a time or two where an opened month+ coir and seen mold.  It can happen

Were you rolling your cakes in them haha? Probably left bits of mycelium in there.
