just to clear things up , i have a feew questions, 1: is the optimum water holding compacity of the seed is based on how mush it can absorb without bursting?
2: will the seed burst if soaked for too long ?

1: is the optimum water holding compacity of the seed is based on how mush it can absorb without bursting?

Depends on who you ask and what your doing with it. If fruiting directly off it, IMO, yes. If spawning, pretty much, but maybe a little bit drier, and quite a bit drier is fine. Colonization is often just fine with a wide range of water...but when you fruit it, it can be to dry.

2: will the seed burst if soaked for too long ?

Not in water at room temp., but it will germinate.

Sounds like your WBS may be a bit to WET, before you start. 1 or 2% bursted WBS isn't much of a problem, more than that becomes a bigger problem, the higher the percentage goes.

Busted seed creates sort of a starchy sludge, that is prone to bacterial contamination, slow colonization & makes the jars hard to shake (sludge is sticky).

You might try pre/heating your PC, then add the jars & PC lid W/weight so it builds pressure quicker. Other than that, I don't really know what to tell you.

First time doing WBS.. i think just a few have bursted.. but I'm looking forward to this working!!! Thank you so much for the tips on how to soak the WBS correctly. I did an experimental first batch .. but didn't know exactly if i had done it correctly. Next time i'll be more sure (with the 9 remaining jars i intend to do) + tenn stud 50/50!

What an experiment!

Thanks
Sammy

hu? so do you want to germinate or not?

You want to germinate endospores, but not the seed. in other words, you dont want the seed to sprout when you soak

You don't want the seed/grain to germinate (as in sprout).

You do however want the ENDOSPORES inside the seed/grain to germinate.

en?do?spore (nd-sp?r)
n.
1. A small spore formed within the vegetative cells of some bacteria.
2. A fungus spore borne within a cell or within the tubular end of a sporophore.

In that way, PC sterilization has a much better chance of killing those nasty b*stards.

I think I need a

dic?tio?nary

a reference book containing words usually alphabetically arranged along with information about their forms, pronunciations, functions, etymologies, meanings, and syntactical and idiomatic uses
2 : a reference book listing alphabetically terms or names important to a particular subject or activity along with discussion of their meanings and applications
3 : a reference book giving for words of one language equivalents in another
4 : a list (as of items of data or words) stored in a computer for reference (as for information retrieval or word processing)

Still loving this post Agar.

You will hear them imitating ELVIS singing "love me tender". (JOKE).

You cannot tell, but the soak usualy does it. As room temp, moisture & nutriants all combined is the germinating trigger - for them.

About a 24 to 28 hour soak in 68/72F does it for me.
You want to rinse with hot water & drain, before they start to SPROUT.
Simple as that.

A good Tek that has an illustration of the effects on the water of endospore germination is "From Syringe To Print With Rye Tek"

I am about to try grain also, and as my first. But I have a good feeling about grain over PF and in regards to the sacred mushy I listen to what I feel.


Loving this crowd more and more.
