Yep, I'll be posting most of my mycology content here in the future. Thank for taking time to write!
@2:23 - I did the bucket tek (with a cooler) and let it sit for a day or so. Then I mixed it well and packed in foodsaver bags. I let it sit back in the cooler in sealed bags with a sous vide cooker at 170F for about 90 minutes. I think this should cover me.
The CONTAINER STORE. Check out the tubs ✌
When you talk about not mixing the two different types I would think you would use new gloves between the two boxes but maybe it doesn't make a difference what donyounthink
How did it turn out bro
Carr we miss you in LV, I love the Raiders but secretly I hope you get to come home and smash the Raiders .... just for the time Mcdummy is Head couch. Saints hope you know what you got (great QB)
For the final casing layer of coir would a siv work well ?

@@growermo940 I'm in the Midwest too and can't wait for morel season! It's plenty enough to keep you busy for now, that's for sure. Once you get to the point where you're growing, be sure to let me know and if you have any questions be sure to send them my way. I'm working on my veggie garden now too. What are you excited about growing this year? Hope you have a good one and hope you have good luck finding morels!

Gotten mixed messages about having more than one strain in a tub.
After the second week off colonisation when we take lid of to spray, do we only spray ghe tub oe lod amd for sides or the actual micelium as well ? ❤❤

You shouldn't have to spray your grain unless you have dry grow area, it needs to already have moisture in it, during fruiting only very lightly mist when needed
Total noob question comjmg up 😅how come there is no lining or oe the sides and bottom nit sprayed black ? #help lol ❤
@bigcookie3995

No need for a liner if you pack your tub right and keep it hydrated so it doesn't shrink... And popcorn being big grain probably helps the cake hold it's shape.......
If you made it too wet can you just squeeze it?

Why is it not recommended to add more popcorn to the monotube as a substrate?
@bestzimflavors1953

i think that will add a high risk of contamination.
@bigcookie3995

Slightly higher contam risk, no other reason, the more grain the more nutrients for your fruits to grow
paint the sides of your bins black and that will help with side pinning too
you used two quarts of coco before the vid like you did with the popcorn?
@bigcookie3995

Its all dependent on ratio... 1 quart grain to 2-3 quarts coir depending on your preference and then a quart or more of coir for the top layer
Why no vermiculite?

He's referring to the substrate which is made of coconut shell or Hull ground up it's actually pronounced like coyer .. his mispronunciation of the word is a common mistake because it looks French but it's not Coyer
