Thanks! Yeah if it roughly looks right, I'll take my chances. This is only my second grain grow and the first one grew much faster and healthier, like thinner stems and taller grow.

Hey has anyone ever colonized a bag with substrate horizontally instead of vertical? I’m about to fruit some I just cased not long ago. Looks perfect in there

The Tek I’m using recommends it. I’ve chosen to trust TC’s Beefy and Stipe-N-Cap.

I have a fully colonized spawn bag. I will now make bulk substrate. I have 2 questions I really wanna know about and a third one that isn't so important. I am going to do a bulk substrate with 80% coco and 20% vermiculite.

first question: I don't have a bucket, will a large saucepan with a lid suffice for doing a bucket tek?

Second question: Does it matter if you layer your spawn or mixing it with bulk substrate? I will add a casing layer of course.

Third question: I bought gypsum before I figured out that it is obsolete. I do not know the reason it is obsolete. What function does gypsum even have in mushroom cultivation?

Not super hard. But you know those things they use for spreading out concrete?
Just give that a little pat on there.

I just found the no prep millet Tek. Do people still use this Tek? Seems like a really easy way to start with grain. Also, I have to avoid the gluten grains, so it's either oats or millet.

I pressure cooked 4 bags of oats a few weeks ago was going to use them but didn't. They have been in the fridge. Can I put them as is back in the PC for another round of sterilization? Or is there already a risk they are no good.

Are they sealed? I don’t see why you couldn’t still use them as is

Another round through the pressure cooker could cause them to dry out.  Honestly, personally, I would not mess with those grains.  2 weeks even in the fridge is long enough for any invader spores that were knocked back by the sterilization process to have recovered thus the probability of them germinating and outrunning your clean spawn is high.  I would make a new batch.

Meanwhile I just inoculated old grain jars I've had sitting on the shelf for two months :lol:

They appeared to be very clean, no growth at all on them of any kind. 

Guess we'll find out :shrug:

(I am not advising to do this, I am just very lazy)

Thanks, I had thought I read 2 weeks in fridge was too long. Garbage they go.

I also threw a wedge in a jar I had sitting around since the beginning of the month on the 19th without a second thought haha.  My thinking being that if it was fully sterilized it should continue to be so until an outside contender is introduced.

But I will concede to hamloaf on this one

Bacterial endospores are some sticky fuckers. Basically the PC will kill a majority of them and slow the rest down enough for your myc to colonize, but if you let your stuff sit around for long enough you'll be almost sure to find some of those sprouting back to life

Noted.

Guess we’re gonna find out how strong this PE clone culture is. She was pretty on agar.

I think I’m ready to switch to Petris purely for the better quality agar pictures..

7 MS B+ quart jars that should be ready to send by the end of the week. Most of them feel a litte underfilled tho. Don't know if I should make 2 (3+4) or 3 (3+2+2) 16qt tubs with this. What are your thoughts?
