Spawn are very clean and healthy looking

Ksss are starting to split, should I let them go longer? Still hard to the touch.

From my experience and looking at the other pins in your tub, it all has more to go. Maybe another two to three days.


These KSSS things are hard to gauge at first but once you get the feel it's simple imo. Those big ones with the cracked caps you are always free to pick ahead of the rest of the pack, but even they could potentially grow more.

How long have they been growing since you saw the first pin?

Them started 12 days ago, but the tub is packed with pins. I planned on harvesting them as they are ready, just not sure when ready is. I know people say on pe to wait till it's soft, does that apply to these? I'm fine to keep them growing, didn't know if the cracking was detrimental to them.

I followed RR's grain prep to the t, I believe...
rinsed rye in a 4 changes of water (till it the water was clear)
drained and then filled pot with hot water till it was 3" above the rye.
soaked 20hrs
Brought up to a boil and rolling boil for 10 minutes.
(then it sat for 5-10 minutes)
Drained.
So many burst kernels.

1. Should I boil for a shorter time or what's the solution?
2. Would you fuck with this or should I start over?

Thanks!

The really big ones will never get truly marshmallow soft for KSSS, in my experience.

In fact for your really husky KSSS shrooms, I recommend chopping them up into smaller pieces before dehydrating because if you don't when they dry they will be as hard as a rock and almost impossible to bite through without causing frustration and nausea.

If it's day +12 since you first saw pins, that's a crazy long time for KSSS. That would mean you probably have an awful lot of aborts. I wonder what's wrong with your spawn or conditions, then

Well the pins keep popping up and there growing. It's cold at night here, or genetics? It's been slow, even colonizing the jar. Them pins are not 12 days old. But the first pins showed up 12 days ago. My other tub is similar but not as far along.

Don't soak for so long. Also when you are boiling you don't want to go by time. You need to monitor your grains. after about 5 minutes or so, every couple minutes take 1 or 2 out and test them to see if they are fully hydrated You can either bite down on them or try to crush them in your fingers. You will be able to see the change in the kernels as they start to get more translucent as they get close to ready.

I mean just from a cursory glance it looks like the conditions are decent in that tub as well. Lots of droplets, not a ton of terrible pooling, got knots and pins. No obviously super bacterial elements to my eyes. Not sure the hold up but hopefully they're just taking their time 😜

The key for me was in Beef's Wheat Tek where it says not to boil but to just keep on low heat. Then keep an eye on the color and eat a few grains to see what they feel like. Because everything happens slower at a low heat, you can really dial it in and get those perfect, plumpy, non-burst grains. I didn't pre-soak and it took mine about 1.5h to get to that point, but it all depends on the heat setting.

No big deal with burst grains but if you have a ton of them it's gonna be a mushy, sticky mess. Might have a hard time getting it to break up.

I figured it was a poor selection of agar possibly coupled with cooler temps. I was worried it was going to dry out before it pinned. I have not misted and it's been one month since spawned. Honestly I had little expectations but litfa pulled through.

Why do we bang glass jars to break up grain before mixing it with coir? Couldnt we just open the jar and stir it up with something like a... chopstick or a spoon? It's going into coir so the time for being sterile is over, right?

To expose any hidden contamination. If you think it’s good to go but you have uncolonized grain in the middle, you could potentially introduce contamination with a tool. I always shake when I think it’s 100% colonized and let it rebound before spawning. And when I spawn I just dump it and mix it with my hands.

How stupid is it to send fruits via mail? I wanna send my friend some but I have obvious concerns. Does USPS UPS FEDEX x ray? Would I get into legal trouble or would they just dispose of the package?

I do believe using the mail service to transport drugs is an automatic federal crime. Are you willing to do 5 to 10 years in a US prison to help your friend out?

I'd use a non USPS carrier. I think all bulk carriers are subject to the same laws (USPS, UPS, Fedex) some might just care more than others.

Xray screening? I doubt it. I imagine a bubble envelope is better than a box.

I bang it after PC'ing it to help with inoculation and because they're usually all stuck together.

They usually just slide out when I'm ready to spawn.
