Sous Vide Weights of course. I have a bunch of these.



Holy mother forking shirtballs, I've been cooking sous vide for at least 15 years -- I've gone to such lengths to weigh down floaty bags.. dishes, weight plates (2.5lb plates are my go-to), pots and pans, ceramic flowerpots... it never even occurred to me to put a weight IN the bag with the food. Now I feel like a dumbass for how obvious it is in hindsight. I couldn't click the buy now button fast enough. THANK YOU.

Do agar transfers increase speed of growth? My first agar plate grows really slow my second got contamination only used it as a transfer and my third is actually growing slightly faster than the first. I dont really understand senescence or how they age but how many transfers till I slow it down? I been sectoring agar a little wrong been reading about it and I think I can get better results next time.

imo at least a hundred if not more. senescence is nothing you are encountering.

Really that's surprising I thought grain to grain transfers slow down after 5 or so transfers and thought agar would be similar.

I haven't tried grain to grain transfers yet I was planning on doing it soon but im waiting till the jar is 100% its like 85% but just taking its time. The mycelium is so dense only the bottom hasn't gotten yet I could probably do over 10 transfers with my scaple before exposing uncolinzed grain but im just waiting to be safe.

BTW mushboy your WBS soak advice is great my mycelium loves it I haven't had any issues with WBS since I tried your method thanks a bunch :youthemandawg:

I'm just starting with rye after using popcorn and I have a few questions.

A lot of these teks are talking about drying the rye aftet simmering it. Is that necessary? I would like to skip that step because for the popcorn I would just drop it in the strainer and move it into bags while it's still steaming hot.

12 hours soak, 15 min simmer - is that regular up to date rye tek then?

Does rye double in size when hydrated?

Think of how much more mycelium goes into a grain jar , it's just about cell division

Im really frustrated I been sniffing my CVG for over 15 minutes trying to figure out if its ok. It has this wierd smell that I associate with yeast and seems to be getting stronger but I only smell it if the lid is on without it I don't smell anything.

I wish I had experience with CVG I don't know what its supposed to smell like I think its just CO2 because I dont smell alcohol just something that reminded me of yeast and they also produce CO2. I think CO2 is orderless though but it reminds me of the smell of a airlock bubbler without any alcohol smell or fruity smell.

Its definitely different than yeast but its hard to tell what the strange smell is. I really hope it works the mycelium is starting to spread and it looks healthy just the wierd smell. Its also producing tons of humidity my other mushrooms did the same thing as they grew.

Hi All,

About to move to the fruiting phase of my first ever grow. I have a quick question.

How 'cakey' do the cakes have to be prior to birthing? - I.e, is complete growth of mycelium through the substrate enough, or is it preferable to have a dense white mass that obscures the substrate.

I am using a 1kg all in one grow bag. I plan to split the (brick sized) cake into two with a knife, before doing a dunk and roll and fruiting in a SGFC.

Many thanks,
AWS

Hello and welcome to the Shroomery!:cool::mushroom2:

Please upload some photos so we can get a better look at what youve got going on.

Fully colonized on the outside is sufficient, there's no advantage to splitting the cake in half. I'd soak, roll, and into a water tub instead of SGFC

Water tub

Thanks for your response Mr Wedge

I have uploaded some photos above

As you can see, there are actually two all in one grow bags which were inoculated with liquid culture on 1st November. These are 1kg bags using millet grain and a manure based substrate.

One of the bags was much faster to colonise the millet grain (Bag #1). The millet grain was mixed with the substrate of both bags on 31st November. Then, bag #1 was mixed again 3 weeks later on 21st December (10 days ago).

Please see the up close photos that show the level of colonisation in Bag #1. I am confident that it is colonised all the way through, but it doesn't have that thick white cakiness that I feel like would develop if I left it to sit longer.

I sincerely apologise if the procedure I have followed so far is offensive to the sensibilities of established community practice. My interest in this topic has grown as I have waited and watched the mycelium grow. However, some superficial reading on this site has made me realise that my methodology so far may not have been best practice.

Kind Regards,
AWS

First timer here ,I inoculated an aio bag with gt lc on 12/1 and let that fully colonize in bag ..I just birthed it 8 days ago into a fruiting chamber (I used a cereal bin roughly the size of an office trash can ) with micro filter patches on 3 of 4 of the walls..for humidity I have the cake raised above wet potty pad using resturaunt table number tents I know this stage is the anxiously waiting for a boom stage and am super excited how things have been going but would definitely benefit from seasoned eyes and opinions please and thank you

My coir bucket hasn’t been used for about six months. It still contains some old coir and vermiculite, which I’ll be disposing of. Do I need to wash the bucket before hydrating a new coco coir brick? There isn't any sign of green on the old coir/verm.

Why not just wash it (takes a few minutes) and ease your mind?
