Are there reusable injection ports for grain spawn bags?
Or is just injecting then covering with tape the wtg…?

I’ll be cutting the bags and the bags won’t be reusable….

Some vendors sell adhesive rubber SHIPs. Or you can just put down a big glob of silicone to use as an injection port and let that harden before sterilizing the bag. Might be a good idea to do that a day before actually filling the bag so it has time to fully cure.

(N.B. I don't inject anything, so someone else's advice with actual experience is worth more.)

I just use tape on bags. Tried the ports once on bags and they were a pain in the ass. There was too much movement in the bag and it made it sketchy to inject. Eventually something will give. Either tearing a bag or sticking yourself with the needle.

PE? If so second flush will probably be normal.

I was using two layers of micropore tape to cover gas exchange holes in lids but my jars ended up with bacterial contamination. I switched to paper filters



And I still get contamination, maybe not as serious. Assuming the problem is the lids (might very well be another thing), would it help if I put tape on the paper filters or would it block the gas exchange?

I'm gonna put money on lids being the problem.

When you reuse sauce lids, (I'm assuming this was a pasta sauce lid) you are taking an item that was created for single use and trying to see how far you can push it.

I'm not talking down on re using jars like this, but especially with sauce jars, they never seal the same. I have used OTC moonshine jars, dispo jars, and even certain sauce jars. I just accept and expect some loss

Thanks for the heads-up! The thing is that those jars (repurposed legumes ones) are pretty convenient for me, since I have a 6qt PC,and they're 700 ml (some 900ml) and fit in it well. Also, you can't beat the price! 😁.

I'm gonna try and roll some cling wrap around their neck to see if it makes them more airtight. I have a couple of jars (5 and 7 days old) that look good so I should know if it works soon.

FWIW, I tested my lids/filters by pouring agar in the jars and then letting them sit for a couple weeks. Idk if this can provide 100% certainty, but I'd think it's better than nothing. I haven't seen much mention of anyone doing this, so thought I'd share.

If anyone with more experience can verify that this is an inefficient means of testing, please let me know so I stop doing it/recommending it.

Never thought of that but I like it. Do you prep them like a no pour? Do you shake the jars after a few days and a couple of weeks? Seems like a pretty good way to confirm lids.

I'm gonna do this with the next jar that fails on me. Nice one, sir.

Yes, I treated them like no pours and then let them sit. I didnt shake, but that probably would have been a good idea!

3 Shoebox's are starting to pin. Lid has been latched close since spawn to bulk 10 days ago. What is the next step? Keep lid latched closed, put it on loosely, upside down, etc?

I have some dried fruits from my first ever grow from last year back in July that has been stored in an air tight jar with silica gel. They are still cracker dry and potent. I didn't know about swabbing or making spore prints at the time. I read on here that if I put a piece of the dried fruit on agar it will germinate, but those posts were from 20 plus years ago. Is that true?

It may need to be rehydrated a little bit. But it’s almost guaranteed to be dirty after it’s been dehydrated. It’d be easier to start with something else. But you can do that.

Try one with the spore laden gills and one with inner stipe tissue after removing the cap first so you don’t accidentally get spores in there and see what happens

Hey all,

Finally had a small but successful harvest a few days ago. Would like to thank you all for the help.

A little over a week ago I inoculated 6 grains jars with various strains, one in brown rice, one in millet. Followed standard recommended prep methods. Starry Night, JMF, GT respectively. 2 days ago I did break and shake. The starry night recovered really fast.

How am I looking? Yeah, I definitely overfilled the millet jars :crazy:
