G2G Question
    #5886561 - 07/22/06 03:01 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

This may sound like a stupid question...I've got about an assload to an assload and 1/2 of popcorn pints ready to knock up in my closet, and as of right now I have nothing to knock them up with. Well, almost nothing...I have a culture that I don't want to risk using cuz it's over a year old and just doesn't look quite right anymore, and I've got 1 single, lonely lil 1/2 pt WBS jar fully colonized and nowhere to go. I was gonna case the lil guy, when Mrs. Stond suggested G2G. I've never heard or seen anybody use different types of grains to do this. My question (this started out as a question, didn't it?) whether or not this is possible, or will the myc reject the process?

Peace.

I would put the colonized cake into a quart jar of sterilized water and shake the hell out of it. Then use that mycelial suspension to inoc your other stuff.

Thanks FF, sounds like a good idea. Any idea how long the remainder might last in the fridge? And this is my first time using popcorn...is it's all it's cracked up to be? It seems there would be more advantage to cracked corn (which happens to be on sale, 100lbs for $9.95) as the nutes would be on the surface, not under a husk, as well as there being more surface area. I think it would also be easier to spawn to coir than whole kernal. Shit, is corn worth a shit at all?

Peace.

I've never used corn, so I couldn't tell ya. I would use the mycelial suspension before 3 months.

Sometimes you have to let the cake soften up a bit, but if you shake it hard enough it should pretty much all break up. You could also try using some sort of an agitator.

Hey man, don't be harshin' on halfy...lol. I don't generally do 1/2 pts, I do pts, cuz I've got a tiny lil PC (4 qt), but when I was PCing I figured I might as well fill every container I had that would fit in the lil bastid with substrate. Hence the 1/2 pt of WBS. Since Pcing is such a tedious process, only being able to do 4 jars at once, I like to get it all out of the way for a few months.

3 months should be plenty of time to use it all up. I think I saw a tek once involving a piece of jagged broken glass for an agitator. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

Peace.

Cant see any problems doing G2G of wbs to corn.
I admit, i never done corn as a substrate but i've done some G2G in open air with no problems.
Give it a try.
BTW if things go bad and you need a print, pm me i'll send you one.

you could do the grain to grain, but I would suggest making a LC like this
