What's the best humidity when growing your mycelium on whole grains?




I believe the mid to high 80's for cased grains is generally what people use.  An easy easy way to grow grains, or grow grain spawned to bulk, is to purchase some of these little buggers



Dunno the official term, but I call these things shoeboxes because of their shape.  That pic is from my first grow and i newbishly placed cakes and a tray into those things, - Do not do that - . It will work fine, but it takes up too much space and too much work for what it is.  Instead, do this

- Drill holes in the sides of the shoeboxes, make the bottom rows 3-4 inches from the bottom, put the other holes near the top, maybe some in the middle.

- You can cut a peak/light hole in the lid, and put some saran wrap under it to clamp it shut, or you can just put some saran wrap over it, the kind that sticks.

- Dump enough grain, or enough grain/bulk mixture to fill it up so the bottom row of holes are about a half inch above the substrate level, case it when it's ready. If you have to let bulk colonize, you can put some bandaides over the holes to prevent too much FAE from making it pin when it's only 90% complete.

- There you have it, a self sufficient tray. No need for a fruiting chamber, perlite, or humidifiers.  I just fan mine when I feel like it, a couple times a day, and mist it if the coir looks dry but usually only have to mist it 3 or 4 times during the whole cycle.  I guess it's kind of like a mini mono tub. 

I got about 10 of those things for free at a thrift shop.

Alright, but i was referring to growing your mycelium before casing.  What's preferred humidity?

Well - you are more concerned with getting the correct saturation of your grains. You will have your grains in a Qt jar with a tyvek disk + metal lid. Your external humidity will have less of an effect than having 'dry' grains.

Follow RR's video or one of the grain teks & you will be fine.

It was all set up. Were doing the same thing Hitler did with artifacts and knowledge about hollow earth.

Everthing points to hollow earth and that ultimitaly points to planet X."
