Get wheat if you can. Oats are a pita to dry properly ime.

Millet, rye, or wheat. Millet is hard to fuck up, oats are easy to fuck up. I hear cubes LOVE wheat and rye, but I don’t have first hand experience prepping them so I can’t advise you there. Group intelligence says they’re great, though.

Speaking flow hoods... I'm planning to build one because OMGeffSABs and hundreds of pairs of gloves, tyvek sleeves, and drips of sweat!

Anyway, I read both a 6" and 12" wide (thick) hepa filter will work. Is there any advantage to spending more on a thicker hepa filter or does a 6" do the exact same job? There's all these specs but nothing really dives into hepa filter depth and pros/cons.

Please and thanks!

I thought I was the only one. Was sweating like a pig using the SAB in the middle of summer. Just extra nutrients for the shroomies. Right?

Oh man, so much sweat!

I would trust the specs. If it says it filters 99.99% that’s fine by me. I would imagine there are different methods to achieve that which would have different thicknesses. Probably affects pressure and laminar flow rates.

There is no upside to using a 12” deep hepa for a LFH. 3” mini pleat, or 6” hepa filters are great for LFH. 12” deep pack will not develop much back pressure at the flow rates needed for laminar flow. This can lead to uneven air velocity across the face of the filter. Also work surface + 12” filter + plenum = giant fucking hood.

Even indoors, after I gear up with a mask, gloves, and tyvek sleeves I start to sweat. If I'm sweating in the slightest before I get the gloves and sleeves on? lol forget about it...It's so frustrating trying to get gloves on eith even the slightest of sweaty hands.

I figured the 6" was good but figured it doesn't hurt to check. Thanks Roscoe!

I'm trying to tell you that's all unnecessary. Wash your hands and forearms.

I use my sab naked 90%of the time so sweat ain't an issue.

Been using white millet, but I've been getting some overcooked pucks at the bottom.

I'm using a 23qt Presto, with 3.5L of water (3L is the minimum according to Presto). Yes. the water line reaches the jars.

I vent my PC for 10-12 mins, and then I run it for 90 mins at 16psi.

Are y'all venting your pcs when doing millet, or using weights to get to 16psi? Maybe that extra 1psi is what is causing overcooked bottoms.

Do you know if your millet is hulled or un-hulled?

Oh its unhulled. It's the right type and it works fine, but not having to shake up a puck (not nearly as bad as pure mush)  would be nice

I have read others have successfully combatted burst grains by lowering the burner temp used to get up to pressure.

I hope your next cycle yields better results.

I've been doing Yosis no or low prep millet and I do get a puck at the bottom. I shake it pretty hard and if there is a couple big marbles left I don't worry about it, once it colonizes it will eventually come apart and even if it doesn't, when I spawn the jar I break it up with my fingers.

Not doing the pre soak and simmering and drying is well worth it to me for the ease of filling jars and straight to PC even if there are a few chunks in the jars.

Newbie question. My first attempt. 1 week after inoculation. From the pics I've seen, most start at injection site. I'm assuming it's OK that it started at the bottom? ShroomTek bag. Golden Teachers. Thanks.

Re: Ask Quick Questions, Get Quick Answers [Re: Bajazly]

Yeah I just did some. I shook that sum bitch for like 5 mins and the puck on the bottom still didn't break. I was able to maneuver it sideways so it wasn't stuck to the bottom, so we will see how it turns out. I think it will just take longer to colonize, but we will see if it breaks up after the first shake. I run my presto between 2-3 heat setting on glass stove top, medium is at 6. It stays at about 16 psi for the whole hour and 45mins. It takes a bit to heat up, but after bowing my last PC, I'm not risking it.
