Just checked on my first batch of Brown Rice grain spawn after BnS. This is about 3 weeks post inoc. Really happy with how they're looking. 3 of them will be going into my first attempt at the fahtlock tek, and 3 others into a monotub.

I still don't fully understand why shroomery as a whole is mostly against brown rice for grain spawn. I totally get not liking uncle Ben's tek. The colonization rate with this is wild, and the mycelium looks very good.

People still use brown rice, just not as often as other grains around here. The why is simple. It does not perform as well or as consistently as certain other grains in certain categories.

The "why" these forums think this though is easy. Shroomery has decades of experience growing shrooms in tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of grow cycles. There's a reason why science doesn't credit an individuals experience as "evidence." Because an individual cannot set up an independent, confirmation bias free situation in the vast majority of cases.

Because a person may get lucky on their single try, but then you find out when you run the trial 10 times it fails 8 out of 10 of them and you just got lucky. Or maybe your first time you get this splendid canopy so easily and you're like "goddamn rice is amazing" and then you run it 12 more times and your yields are drastically inferior to other grains or you contaminate at a much higher rate... whatever the case may be... 9 out of 12 runs.

That said, shroomery can only give advice. Do what makes you happy. If you feel you get good enough shrooms with brown rice, why do you care what we think? You're the one consuming them.

Brown rice is ok for those who want to run small batches , for me it's a pita and expensive though .
Use whatever grain ya like or whatever grain suits your needs they will all grow more shrooms than u need

is it necessary to impulse seal grain bags or is folding the bag around good enough?

What about those neat GripSeal loop things, that you slide the end of the bag through it and then pull the tab put at the end and it supposedly makes such a tight lock.

I always wonder because I use it with my rice bags (my irl cooking rice bags that is lol) and they stay good forever and ever with that thing on it...

First time this has ever happened to me. A mushroom that grew on agar. This Tidalwave plate was given to me by somebody a week or 2 ago and i made some transfers. And then I checked on it today and seen this pin sticking out. It looks like he inoculated this with grains.
Can I put the whole pin on agar to clone it? Will it even be worth it? Is it possible to have great results/genetics if I do? I don't have any cloning experience btw.




Yep! Definitely try to continue with that pin.

Is there any information about how to fold a bag so it doesn't blow up in the PC?

I don't seal them. I haven't used bags for about a year, but I remember sometimes I'd fold them and they'd self seal like you said, other times they'd inflate and touch the sides of the PC and melt.

I was just wondering if there is a video or guide or something that showed how to fold them so they self sealed every time.

I've also folded where u tick it underneath, or just accordion style or any other way it all boils down to water and heat , using an open flame can heat the sides too hot and melt bags
