forgot to wash WBS
    #5810911 - 07/01/06 09:41 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

so while making my jars i forgot to wash the seeds... didnt soak i just use the put water in jar method and then PC... so i put them in water to get the sunflower seeds out then immediately loaded jars without cleaning the seeds completely...

whats will happen?? should i not even waste my LC/spores and throw the jars out? will colonization just be slow? or will some funky contaminate infect them...??

edit: or should i just not worry about them cuz they look normal..?

well it works, that is the old school method,

So yeah it might work, but I cant recommend that tek,

If you got the water right and there not clumping you could be fine.

Alice can i make a recommendation? Forget about WBS spawn.


Make spawnbags, ala Bluehelix's spawn bag write up in the FAQ section, and then use wronguys spawn bag recipe.

Use a LC with 140mL injection, and you skip all that other nonsense.


Wronguys Recipe

"Okay, I'll share. Now the ingredients were compiled with the help of Blue Helix and Agar. There is nothing exotic in here, but it has a good nutritional profile. This recipe is for 4 large filter patch spawn bags. It will fill them within 2 1/2 inches of the bottom of the filter patch and lays out perfectly in 19 quart containers with a substrate depth of 3 1/2 inches.

The recipe is as follows:

48 Cups of horse manure (shredded)
24 Cups of vermiculite
16 1/2 Cups of dry WBS (do not soak or simmer)
4 Tablespoons of dry Kelp Meal
6 Tablespoons of Canola or Vegetable oil
21 Cups of water


Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients together. Now, add the water and mix again. Due to the human error factor on measurements, you may consider adding only 18 cups of water to begin with and adjust it from there. However, I have found that any measurements that are off are negligible in the moisture content.

After all the water is added, test your moisture content by giving the substrate a hard squeeze. You should only be able to extract a few drops from this, not a steady drip. If you find that your substrate is a little too wet, slowly add vermiculite until you get the right consistency. If you measure everything correctly this should not be necessary. The moisture content needs to be slightly dryer than normal to allow for the liquid culture you will inject later.

The final step is adding the oil. I prefer to add the oil in after the water has been added. I find it's much easier to mix in and doesn't stick to the substrate in one area or clump. Mixing the oil in with the dry ingredients will surely clump on you.

Load your spawn bags at the same time and make sure they are as even as possible. Now it does not matter where you mix this. I do mine in my garage. I know I'm going to sterilize the substrate so contaminates are less of a concern. Follow the tek by Blue Helix to complete it. I personally PC for 3 1/2 hours at 15 PSI.

After they have cooled just inoculate and wait. "

Rinsing is important to get all the dirt and grain dust out. Clumping is the biggest problem when you fail to rinse.
