To crumble or not to crumble...
    #6350610 -

Ok... when you have a grow bag which is 100% colonised is it better to leave it as a block and grow straight out the bag or is it better to crumble it into a shallower but larger tray, meaning there is a greater growing area??

Will one produce higher yeilds but less flushes and the other smaller yeilds but more of them??

Perhaps if you said what is IN the bag, you could get a good answer.

oops.. sorry!

The bags are rye grain.

I hear these can get wet spots easily... is there a way to prevent that??

Sorry if these are dumb questions, just a bit new to it all and want to get a good grow!!

Personally rye grain is my favorite spawn I have ever worked with,If it was prepared properly you should have an issue with wet spot.I would spawn it something and case it instead of fruiting in the bag

Yes bro, prepare a good and well-organized casing with the rye and you'll get lots, LOTS of fruited mushroom... :thumbup: You could use just straight vermiculite or a 50/50 - 60/40 mix with the crumbled substrate, that leaving it 3/4 days more in the incubator to let the mycelium grow in it and then cold-shocking for introducing to the FC...
Cold shock it's a good tek, I was using it most of the times I was cultivating with casing or cakes, especially when the colonization times were long...
Mycelium seems really to love the cold before letting the knot coming out of the trays...

So yes, IMO you should just crumble it, case it and enjoy the flush :smile:
Wish you good! :wink:

You don't cold shock cubensis. If you do, they will still fruit, just a few days later.

Read up on the grain teks in the FAQ. You can use it to inoculate manure for a larger yield, or place the grains directly in a tray and add a casing layer for a quicker, but smaller crop.
