So if anyone goes back and reads my threads they will read my last failed grow attempt. It was costly. So this time im not taking chances.
From a reputable ex-shroomery sponsor Z Strain From their affiliated mycology suppy source 1 Mushroom Grow Bag containging 3lbs of steralized rye.
My incubator is set at 84 degree's but sits around 82 with the lid open.
Glovebox, Check Disenfectant spray, Check Lighter for glove box, Check
I think we are set to grow magic!
Spore order was shipped approximately 9 days ago (if my emails are correct), so within the next week I can expect that. The Presteralized substrate order i sent 2 days ago but took 2 days to come back becasue of improper postage. I didnt feel like finding an extra .28 cent stamp so i just put two .41 cent stamps on it to get the bloody thing sent.
So when i get this, Im going to: -inspect the bag for holes -shake the syringe vigerously -put both the syringe and presteralized substrate bag in the glove box along with the disenfectant spray and lighter -Seal the top -spray the spray inside, give it all 10 to 15 mins to settle, - Flame steralize the needle - inoculate with 2-3cc. - flame the needle and Recap the syringe - Incubate Bag at 84 degrees
SO of course why am i doing this? becasue i need a large quanity of gauranteed liquid myc.
The theory, the syringe and the bag both have gaurantee's so if its contam the bag company will more than likely be at fault, if its bunk and nothing happends then the spores will more than likely be at fault. Granted this isnt 100% Set in stone how it would be but the point is BOTH have gaurantee so it SHOULD all work with 100% satifaction. If it doesnt the company has been really good about buisness with me and im sure we could talk something out.
I have 10 lbs of white popcorn. IF the mycellium grows, I will steralize my popcorn with a typical grain tek method -soak for 24 - light boil to a simmer for 45 mins up to an hour - drain for an hour (30 mins isnt enough, too wet always) - fill jars 3/4 full with popcorn - Pressure cook for an hour at 15psi. - let pressure cooker sit overnight - remove jars and place directly in glove box - take a cup of myc from the 100% colonized bag of rye and inoculate 4 jars at a time (small pressure cooker) with living mycellium! It should result in super fast incubation to colonization.
Once i have even ONE sucessfull jar i can make an LC syringe by steralizing distilled water and a syringe, sucking up the steralized water into the syringe, and spraying the water into the colonized jar of corn, the sucking it back up. Thus the beggining of an epic new year ensuring my project's longevity.
I will use the rest of the 3lb grain bag to make a 4 inch deep substrate of 1/2inch poo 1/2inch myc 1/2inch poo ect ect ect. I will do this as a monotub and may experiment for my first time with a vermiculite casing layer to increase pinset. (i've personally had alot of luck with the not as recommended wax paper method to increase humidity right at the mass)
Does it sound like its going to work?
