>characteristic? ive seen a wide variety of growth on corn.
yes, I dont mean the type of mycelium though
In my opinion, corn growth in general has a certain quality to it, I can't really describe it. thats why I put a pic, but you are definitly right, characteristic is not really any appropriate word.
Thanks!

I have about ten quart jars of popcorn. A couple of them are getting fully colonized, some were on there way and they died, or so it seems. I'm now thinking mabye I had the moisture content a little off and mabye thats why this happened. Well, I'm going to case them soon for my first grow. I'll have to let you know how they do. And here's a questions while I'm at it. For those of you that have cased with popcorn, the corn that is pressed against the side of the jar is not able to get colonized because its against the jar. I'm not sure what I can do about this so I'm just going to case and see what happens. Any advice here would be appreiciated on this. Late--Chinaboy

I believe you can get those grains on the side of the jar to colonize by getting them away from the side. This could be done by shaking or holding the jar at an angle and rotating it.

I have since cased the corn jars that were done. I have total 3 cases with them so far. The last part of the corn never got colonized and I figured as long as I'm sterile with everything it will be fine. We'll see what happens, I hatched the first case so far.

i asked about pop corn when i first started growing back when The Drool Donkey board started years ago, some one told me it had little nutrient value and that it was best used for strain storage, this discouraged me from trying it, considering i was a newbie but I'm very interested in seeing it work.

AFOAF got very poor results with popcorn cased straight. Oddly, this depended on strain, B+ did mediocre on popcorn, cambo did so poorly it was a waste of time.
For bulk spawn, popcorn works well once you get the water content down.

i have never tried rye berries, how much do they cost? i think popcorn is probably more efficient as a 50lb bag at sams is like 16 bucks, that will make like 60 jars or something crazy

I have been using Corn for prolly 6 years now and the results have always been good. Rye is scarce on the African continent and when it is available it's effing expensive, check the results using whole maize as a bulk sub.

Cased with standard peat based casing (verm peat lime). Don't expect results like that with a multispore inoculation. It is a Isolated MDK. Below is Cambodian iso with corn sub a same casing mix

I have used both with great success. I do not like the dis-colorization of popcorn, but once it takes it is great stuff.
I will say Popcorn loves worm poo!!!!!

ive used em both. now that i can find popcorn at sams club for 17 bucks for 50lbs its cheaper than the wbs i get. it works like a charm.
a good way to get proper moisture content is to boil the corn for about an hour. then turn it to low heat for 30 mins. then lay it out flat on a towel to soak up the extra water. once all the kernals seem dry then you spoon it into jars and pc for an hour.
really good with storing clones in the fridge as well!
