spawm bags for dummies VOL 1
    #8670194 - 07/23/08 01:29 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

hello i just recently purchased "Large Presealable Gusseted Spawn Bags". it has the filter patch on it also. ok i just fill these with substrate and pressure cook them?? let cool, inoculate, let it fully colonize, dump in containers, and case.. bla bla.. well my question is what is "presealable"? do i need to seal these with some sealer thingy? when i put them in the pressure cooker how do i set them in? i read something about a dab of silcone as an incoculation injection point?? what if im using a wedge from a petri dish? can i do a grain to grain transfer to the bag?? just confused on the whole bag thing. I have always been a jar kinda guy. I did some slight looking around but i can really find a section called "spawn bags for dummies".. any links, comments, or advice would be apreciated. thanks:thumbup:

you dont just add substrate, you need to hydrate it first

tripchip, you need to do some reading man. I'm not giving you a hard time, but it's something that HAS to be done if you want to be successful.

well he knows a bit.

i dont know shit about petri dishes. and ive never done g2g...i dont think :lol:

but just throwin sub in a bag isnt going to do anything.

whether its grain that needs hydrating, or another sub that needs to be a field capacity

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.

LOL yeah i know if need to hydrate the grains. you guys say read.. well where should i start? i been browsing on here but havent found all the info in one place. just trying to get a good clear vision of how everything is going to work out before i try it. I guess i need to get the bags first to see how those things even work. I am more than likely going to use a wedge from a petri dish to inoculate the bags. (thats the plan). I first want to isolate some good looking mycelium then after isolating a few good-looking types of mycelium i want to transfer a wedge in each bag. lets say 3 bags.. them the bag that did the best I want to get a clone from the nicest fruit and repeat the prcoess till i have a good isolate. i want to get away from multi spores. anyways i have done a lot of reading. i feel all searched out from searching for info. im sure i can find the information i need on my own but anyone that wants to ssave me some research time feel free to help me out with these bag questions :-) i just dont have the good mental picture on how its all gonna go down when i actually use the bags. peace out for now!!

thanks for the recipe koopa. presealable..?? thats what my bags are going to be (just orderd them) so i dont need a sealer for the bags? when i see these bags in my hands common sense should point me in the right direction im assuming. the only think is how do i get a wedge in the bag? i have to open them in a glove box and drop my wedge in the bag? it will work out like that? ill read the link you provided before i throw out anyu more questions. thanks

Click on this link and save it to your favorites. I made a folder in my favs labeled "Mycology".

There's a lot in one place here. SOME of it is crap, but you'll figure it out by "listening" to everyone else!

i will be documenting mostly when i start with procedures and things so if something goes wrong i can review what i have done. i am currently living with someone else right now so i am going to master some legal edible mushroom cultivation for now and in the future try a batch of some cubes. this is a cool hobby and i want to master every aspect then come up with my own teks and stuff. my first cube grow was when i was 14yrs old out of a 2 liter bottle following the old school PF TEK. Since then i had a few small grows here and there. I have learned a lot from this website. I plan on contriuting back my knowlege to others as i progress in this hobby. its funny shrooms got brought up at my cousins wedding with a dude i didnt really know that well and he said he could get some good shrooms and he knew they were good because they had these "gold flakes on the stems" LOL i just smiled and said "wow i heard those gold flakes were good" ofcourse i knew that it was only some vermiculite that got stuck to the stems. I didnt bother getting into growing though with this guy. some people just have 0 clue as to how a shroom is created.

Goldshlager shrooms, hhmmnn.

If you grow enough edibles, you might be able to add another type or two in there without "someone else" even realizing it.

Although, I eventually want to be successful with morels. THAT would kick ass. :rockon:
