About to cultivate GT first time. Grain bag or jar?
    #28393801 - 07/12/23 06:29 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

We have received a monotub kit with grain bags and substrate.  We have a spore syringe of GT from a reputable source.  I thought we had all the information down but everything I have been reading on here says not to go with sterilized grain bags.  Can and "should" I use my existing sterilized grain bag and use the jar method?

What you really should do it put allllllll that stuff on a shelf in the closet and lock the door

Go and get a dozen or so 1/2 pint widemouth mason jars, brown rice flour (or just brown rice and grind it into flour in a coffee grinder) and vermiculite.

Study the updated PF Tek and follow that to the T and you will be much happier.

While you are waiting for the jars to colonize, you can set up your water tub, get the stuff you need for agar, save a little of the spore solution and get some agar plates going but save a few to do some clones once the PF jars produce fruits.

You will be much happier in the long run doing this rather than most likely coming back here in a month asking for help about why the bag or jars don't look right. You might get lucky but there is a better chance you won't and waste 6 or so weeks and still won't have mushrooms.

Also, please remove the vendor names, we don't talk cult and vendors on this particular forum.

Cheers

Your spores are probably not as clean as you think they are.

Thank you for the advice.  I removed any vendor names, apologies.  I will look into using this method instead.  I would much rather get the blunt advice from the pros so I don't have to waste time with a higher failure rate!

I'm far from a pro but I went down that path and was fortunately saved by people here before I did by doing pretty much exactly what I described. Hope we saved you too.

If you were able to get spores from a reputable source you are already in a way better starting position than myself.

Studying agar is going to be the best way to utilize those spores. Agar has been everyone's best friend since they started using it.
