Looking good there @Slapalottapuss

Did to start all four?

I am still waiting for the mycelium to start forming.

Be safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..

No worries @Tokin Roll
Totally fine to discuss here.
Been extremely busy so haven’t had much time to post and chat here.
Yesterday I received some spawn bags and fruiting chambers I ordered.
Today I inoculated 1 with purple mystic and a second with tidal wave.
Tomorrow I plan on getting the mono tubs laid out with substrate and the spawn I have from earlier.

I love the Purple Mystic . Grew all over the Tampa area in cow shit. Those were some happy times. CL.

how long do the "spores" last -- understand that they last for years as long as they are kept in the dark at room temp.
thoughts on the "dehydrater"" that MidwestGrowKits sell (cost $50..) one can adjust the temps. Thanks

 

[Slapalottapuss]

The other bags seem to be moving along quite nicely. From the outside they look 3/4 colonized. Not willing to open the tub and look.
Injected these 2 bags earlier today.

UB Tek is always known for being to wet in those bags!

It works really well if you use .5-1 ml .... Anything over that usually leaves it too wet!

what is the normal amount of cc's per span bag - I heard 10cc to 15cc (NO way use the whole syringe 1ml (whole tube ???

 

[Slapalottapuss]

I’ve always used 1cc per lb lately I’ve used 2 per lb and getting better results. Stronger mycelium

 

[Tokin Roll]

How is it going @Slapalottapuss

I just inoculated a couple All-In-One bags myself.
with your grow.

Be safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..

 

[Slapalottapuss]

Not even sure where to put these this point. So many false starts.

4 bags looking good

[Tokin Roll]

It looks like you are not going to let a couple missteps stop you.
Good Luck on this grow.

So the bottoms of my bags keep looking like the mycelium is dying and the brain looks dry and dusty. Heat is at 75 degrees humidity is 99.
I’m assuming the bottom of the bags is getting too hot. Added some additional separation between the bags and bottom of the tub. Basically put the bags is small sterilized shoebox sized plastic bins. Mycelium seems to be ok more or less except the section. Of the bottom that looks loose. Maybe I should bite the bullet and just inoculate some jars.
Had 4 or 5 really good runs now 4-5 just total failures. I’m going to keep these bags going and put some jars in another chamber I think.

 

[Tokin Roll]

I have been thinking the same thing, about inoculating some jars.

Hey Tok how did your uncle bens turn out? CL

 

[Tokin Roll]

Not well @CaptainLucky

I found contamination in the first two I started with.
I will be trying this again soon, but I also bought some large jars of grain to work with.

So far so good @Slapalottapuss looking great.

Be safe and grow well my friends,
Tok..

How are things coming along?

 

[Slapalottapuss]

Well I just saw your post @420. Came here to say today I inoculated 4 jars and 2 bags.
Gave it a break for a while since I kept having failure after failure.

Used the @Midwest Grow Kits oven door method for the first time. Every thing went into a sterile tub and it has been covered to keep light out. Not using heat or anything. I think that has been the problem I have been having. Might be slower but no hotspots.

Hope all is well.

Good luck with everything, try to keep everything as sterile as possible. And I think you should be growing s in no time . CL.

 

[Slapalottapuss]

Thanks @CaptainLucky I've always been sterile but started using heat to help stabilize the overnight temps while brooding. Seems my problems started there. We will see I suppose. Going to ignore them for a few weeks and see what they look like next month.
