following smelly hobbits coir prep, is there any harm in breaking up the coir as much as possible before dumping in the boiling water?  Or is it preferred to just use a solid brick and break it up after the water softens it.  Asking because I want to try using measuring cups to measure the dry coir...4 cups of coir for 1 quart of spawn for a 1:1

Hey fellas,

I made some millet grain spawn today, first try. Followed Stipes youtube instructions. Concerned I may have too many burst grains. What do you guys think? I have plenty of LC so I am not concerned about wasting it for the most part. Just don't want to waste the time if the odds are low.




Doesn't look that bad to me, might have to shake it a few times after PC.. the only issue with burst grains is if it turns into a brick.. mycelium doesn't care though

I mean you can break up dry if you want. It's very dusty though ur gonna have brown boogers

I would just make the coir and break it up after 100-125g coir for a shoebox 1:1 should be fine.. but also if you make too much it won't go bad for a long time

I would just make sure you make enough and not worry about if there's some left over

I break mine up a bit, but big chunks work just fine too!

ok cool.  Since it lasts for a long time, does that mean I should be fine if I dump in my filing water tonight and close the lid, then leave it all day until tomorrow night when I can get to it?  The spawn and bulk doesn't need to be mixed within a specific window (after it cools obviously)?  What im understanding is that if im way over saturated I can just slowly mix in verm until my coir/verm mix it at proper field capacity?

I use a solid brick, some people chisel it off. If you’d like to measure the dry volume you’ll need to break it up, I’d imagine.

If you’re measure what you’re gonna use for your tubs, I feel like you’re gonna want to measure it wet, not dry. Not sure a dry volume is going to be a useful metric for making tubs 👍

How are these T1 subtrops  looking.

This one has the fullest growth so far. But are the dots I'm seeing at 9-10 and 6 o clock contam?  They appear dark blackish when backlit probaly shadows. Because in person they are white.




Ths one has the halo effect  believe I've seen others post.




And this one looked like it was gonna make the halo but hasn't.  It's so like you can barely  see it unless it's backlit.





Opinions please.  Tia.

The 2nd flush usually has larger specimens.

Interesting for sure. The 2nd looks cool straight up like HALO.

Give em all a bit more time tomorrow out.
Is the agar soft?

See what others have to say about the last two.

The first plate, I'd take at least 3 biopsies of....
and if you're itching - Maybe send to a small grain jar
Those spots don't look worrisome but keep an eye on size.

oh and becareful with all your finger prints, both the marks and fingers themselves. Its probably a stupid paranoia thing, but hey -better to be aware of at least...Especially with AI.

:whathesaid:

The dry weight is good to find out a guesstimated starting point for the  amount of water.

But 4 dry cups will be more than that after expanded. But 1:1 is also a little rich. Unless you've got reason to be cautious (sus?). 


Though if you're not using a big ass 5-10kg block.... just hydrate the brick (650g ish) .  you'll be using it soon, right? Plus you'll have extra on hand if it comes out looking like it needs more.

100g dry coir is about 1.5 qts give or take of hydrated coir

It's definitely easier to just prep coir and not worry about making an exact amount of worrying about having left over because it's not really going to go bad either way

"sector or ur gonna start a flame war"

Not sure what this means? Are You talking the first plate?


@doja not sure how soft it is. I did not prepare it myself. My inoculation Loop seem to pierce it pretty easily but I have no experience with agar so I wouldn't know if that's because it's really soft or not. 

Also.  Are you saying take bios of the spots?

Or,you said they don't seem worrisome. so are you just saying take biopsies to expand that one and then send it. if I'm feeling like it?

Ya ime 650g coir hydrated. Usually makes around 3-4ish shoes at 1:2. With just a tiny bit left over depend on the thickess of your pseudos. So i guess that makes 6-7ish at 1:1

I've been making 850g lately cuz I found that I go through 650 so quick and need more pretty soon after so depending on where you're at in this hobby a little bit leftover is no big deal.

Ready to mix my spawn and bulk today, does this need to be done in a SAB?  Or just clean everything with ISO and wear gloves?  Is the mycelium relatively resilient once it gets to this stage?  I

ve read about mixing vs layering and im just going to mix.  How thick should the casing layer be?  Ive got 3 quarts of spawn going into 3 shoeboxes with coir
