My wheat recently ran out and I thought I'd try sorghum, but I'm having problems.

I tried the no-prep millet Tek and the grains weren't very well hydrated.

A couple of days ago, I put 2kg of sorghum into a pot of just boiled water for 30 minutes and it came out looking lovely with swollen grains.  Having in the past had grain jars contam before inoculation, I've been using increased cook times, so I cooked the jars (300ML that I originally used for PFTek) at 17PSI for 2.5 hours after a 20 minute vent.

When I took the jars out, it looks like the grain's dried up again, not completely but enough that I wonder if there's enough moisture for the myc to colonise well.  When I see others' jars, they look more like mine did before the cook.

Did I cook too long, or should I have dried the sorghum less before jarring it (I've been used to making sure wheat's dry on the outside).

Thanks all.

You should prepare sorghum like wheat, rolling boil for around 30 minutes and let them feel dry to the touch and load.

Thanks Derrayld, I'll give that a go.  Any thoughts on cook time?  Am I overdoing it?

You shouldn't have an issue with that cook time.
Sometimes sorghum and even wheat comes out looking a darker color and a bit smaller less swole but it's still fine.

might this be sectoring due to contamination?

When my bird was looking at my computer monitor, I thought, "that bird has no idea what he's looking at." And yet, what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can't really panic, he just does the best he can... You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.

It's wheat grain. Had it soaking for 24hrs.

Would I be correct in thinking this is trich?

Looks pretty good to me. Should have some nice fruits in there soon. Next time I would try and make your surface a bit more even but looks like it’s doing good.

yeah i was wondering about that…

they seemed to be pretty level when i first STB and tamped it down a bit, but the more it got colonized the more uneven the surface became (it’s especially sunken in the middle as compared to the corners).

is that just a poor tamp job or is it indicative of some environmental/substrate issue ?

Most likely just due to colonization and settling from moisture distribution.

Should I be worried about my coir? It's coco bliss. I seen powdery white spots on 2 of my bricks. I had trich issues with a few grows using this batch, but I assumed it must be my spawn even though it looked healthy. 2 separate bricks. Could it be the coir?
