16'sealer  :thumbup:



More bags then I know what to do with..... :wink:



I have the Sealer right next to the PC and when I open it I immediately seal them.......

Don't open the bags or anything.....

This is how I close the bags during PC, I then cover it with tinfoil.......









Thees are fresh out of the PC  :grin:


And then the incubator filled :wink:

no self sealing injector port, I use tape, clean it with alcohol, tape holds just fine.

One advantage of bags is there size and the filter, which also means there are other tek you can try besides WBS/Rye.

Also much easier to mix it during colonization.

I never liked jars, and slowly move away from them  :grin:

its a bag... inject somewhere and put some tape over it.
the main advantage is that you can put more bags in a PC beucase there is no wasted space between jars.

Actually, you want some space between the bags so that the steam can get around inside the PC. The less open space, the longer you have to PC.

Bags have nothing but advantages! They rock for any serious growers!!!! :headbanger:

With bags, if you put all of your eggs in one basket (only do one bag worth of spawn at a time) and it contaminates, well, you get to start over.
If you do the same amount of spawn, but in jars: if a jar or two contams, you still have spawn, and can continue your grow.

That is the only disadvantage I can see with bags. Of course you correct that problem by using many bags.  :smile:

You can purchase em from mycrosupply.com(I think thats what its called.) and you could probly use brf, verm. But ive heared hpoo, and vermiculite works wounders. increses potency, and yeild.-------






I guess my main question about mycro bags is, will it decrease the yeild, or increase or is it about the same. and can you case with mycro bags? or do you have to fruit it in the bags?

I am also moving away from jars just growing with bags. It is easier to produce big amounts of spawn for big casings, needs much less work.
On the other hand it needs some experience to work with them. Jars are easier for beginners and the waste is much smaller in case of contamination. Beginners I definitely would advise to work with jars.

Just a a hint: during colonization, I sometimes cut the bag approx. 1 inch (2.5 cm) with a sterile knife under the hepa flow-hood for air exchange (press and widen the bags). After this I put some adhesive tape over it. This drastically accelerates the growth of the mycelia

1. I get mine from themadseason. They seem to be the cheapest that I have found online.

2. Yep, I'd use the same ratio 2:1:1 - Verm:BRF:water, but the more you use, the longer colonization will take. I'd recommend using an LC for inoculation.

You can make your own bags using just about any bag that will survive in the PC.

Put your substrate in, and then close the top, fill it with polyfill, and throw a rubberband over it, or tie it tight. Then innoc right through that. Theres a tek on it someplace..

Making your own bags is cool, but as cheap as the pre-made bags are, I don't see the need.

Here is a question for you guys. If you normally have been using jars and then go to bags, is there a difference in the amount of time in the colonization time from the jars to bags. I figure it would take longer to colonize in the bags than in the jars. Is this true?
