You guys are nonstop information. This channels gonna blow in like a month just watch

I’m loving these cuts dudes! Good stuff, super informative, can’t wait for more.

Incredibly informative. Thank you!

Thank you for everything you are teaching me. It is truly appreciated. I just received a bunch of grow kits as a birthday gift and got very interested in the whole process. So thank you for the great knowledge you are putting in these videos.

Can you explain this better for me... 6 lbs of media used and 38% moisture so...2.28 lbs of water.. can you skip the weighing out the water and just put the 6 lb bag of media on the scale and add water until it is 8.28 lbs?

Loving these videos. Super informative. Thank you.

You just started 2 videos ago and I already love this videos and closely follow you guys!

Wow I'm loving the no soak technique, I'm gonna give it a try. I wish I knew of a place like this to work, it seems like an awesome job.

Love Uncle Ben's!

Its easy to shake and distribute mycelium and spores throughout the bags with millet, its my favorite to use and its cheap.

Thank you again for how well you explain everything in the process! I made the mistake of buying a 50lb. bag of hulled millet... found out the hard way that without the hulls the substrate turns to mush :[

nice sized grow

Love these videos! Can you make one on your steralization process?

so cool!!! your videos has some really quality info, man can you help with one question, i love it the way you prepare the millet grain, could this method work with common wheat or brown rice??? have a nice day man

Great Channel! I noticed you saying "millet is good when used to inoculate other bags". My observation is that millet used as nutrient source is not ideal because it holds quite a bit less moisture than for example rye berries which lowers the yield alot. Due to the simplicity of the preparation with the no boil method and the amount of inoculation points its also my choice as grain spawn - to spread it over a different nutrient source. It's crazy how fast millet colonizes when inoculated with liquid culture compared to other grains. Enjoying those videos alot!

Are you saying, you think Millet doesn't hold as much water so that would lower yields? Because if so you could just add extra water to your substrate mix to make up the difference. Have you done any testing with isolated genetics for yield comparisons with rye berries and millet?

I could be wrong but I believe he's just hydrating and sterilizing raw grain. You'll be hard pressed to find that (clean) of grain anywhere.

It seems that the 38% part wasn't quite clear for many of us.. Would you be so gentle as to clarify this again, maybe with an example and measures with a recipe? You mean that for 100grams of grain you would need 38ml of water? Thank you : )

It all depends on the strain of mushrooms and your production size. Using CO2 meters and temp gauges and humidity controllers helps with keeping your environment climate controlled. Check out a few books on growing mushrooms for specific details about temp ranges that are ideal for each mushroom strain.

Hericium species look cool! Are they as tasty as advertised?

Great video. I do have a question. You seem concerned about waste. Have you considered alternatives to single use plastic bags?

How do you come up with your water to grain ratios? Do they differ depending on species?

uncles bens works sometimes LMAO

Do you need to do the initial soak?

Hello, thanks for the awesome info drop! I watched all three of your videos last nite. i have been playing around small time for 5+ years, about to take the leap to large scale. i have always just soaked my grains overnite but i want to try skipping that step and do it all in the bag like this. my apologies if i missed the info in the video, but when you say your adding 38% water, do you mean for 5 LB BAG your adding 3.1# grain and 1.9lb water 5x .38= 1.9 water and 3.1 grain? or 5lbs grain and then 1.9 water? i remember years ago trying this and it worked out pretty well just pouring water till it was just under even with the grain, going 1.9 water and 3.1 grain seems to be more water than grain. thanks in advance. Great looking facility, i wish i had that much room. i have a bunch of multipileum going right now and just starting to fan out.

38% of the weight of the spawn of water, so: 10# millet + 3.8# water

Can i grow oysters on grain spawn and nothing else?

Moister Content: Weight of Mass / 100 * 38% = Weight of water 3.8 kg (got this number from 2:04, assuming the weight is kg) / 100 * 38% = 1.444kg of water 1.444 kg to cups is 6.1 cups of water

Según el peso de la báscula, él mezcla 3,8 lb de mijo más 2.25 lb de agua. Por lo tanto es el 38% de agua de una bolsa de 6 lb de peso total. 6 x 0.38 = 2,25 lb de agua. Pero eso no equivale a decir que la bolsa tiene un 38% de humedad. Es posible que para un 38% de agua, la humedad del spawn sea del 60% aproximadamente. Por ejemplo.

@josealvarez8566

2 жыл бұрын

Comprobado. Si hacemos una regla de tres a partir de las cantidades de grano y agua que él mezcla, la cantidad de agua que añade supone un 60% del peso seco en grano. Si 3,8 lb de grano seco equivale al 100%, 2,25 lb de agua sería redondeando el 60%. (2,25x100)/3,8 = 59,21% ~ 60%. Saludos.

A question bro, how did you do your sterilization of the grain before you had a machine that can do it?

So you leave the grain dusty and as is? No rinsing?

What's your contamination rate with no soak grain spawn??

What does the sterilizer look like? Please and thanks! Keep up the good work!

Try out different amounts of grain spawn and find what works best for your operation. Depending on your environment/equipment, you’ll find what works better for you and maximize your profits.

Could I use the exact same tek for whole oats? Specifically talking about just pouring the water in the bags and PCing rather than boiling the grains first.

@GreasyGreene

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, but I still let the bags sit for 24 hours for any endospores to germinate before I autoclave 'em. Not sure if I have to, but I figure it's better safe than sorry. Maybe look up Mossy Creek Mushroom's channel too if you want a video, Andrew has a couple videos on his process with oats. He soaks his oats in a bucket instead of a soaking in the bag, but it's basically the same.

Good day. Sorry but i don't understand in english. How much water you put on how much millet. well thank you

Thanks for your valuable information. I have a question please, So, 3.72 Lb dry millet + 2.28 water(with a little bit of gypsum) = 6 Lb. left them for 24 house but still pretty wet. What went wrong?

He only adds 38% water. Take your grain weight, divide it by 100. Multiply that by 38. That would be 1.41 water.

HI, so are you saying add 6 pounds of say barley. 2.722kg and then add 38% water which would be 1.03kg of water? Then pressure cook it.

You need a water pipe on that desk. Tap to bucket to jug to bowl. 🤔 Or pipe with tap?

Hey i love the channel and i have been growing for a little bit not but im super interested in your method here... little unclear on what you mean by 38% of the 6 lbs. Do you mean 3.72 lbs dry grain + 2.28lbs of water? THanks!

If that is the case, mentally I can figure that it is 38% of total weight is water. "Moisture content" made it seem like there may have been an extra formula to convert

That grain has pesticides on it. I used it for a long time and it would leave rashes on my arm, I used it for a year before it started to show up. Now I only use oats. When you add water and grain together doesnt it just cake the bottom of the bag and cause the top to dry out? Thats been my experience with pour and pressure cooking.

You want to produce a condition that the mycelium manages to spread into volume in a short time and be immune to infections. If you mix the two stages the mycelium will not be able to spread quickly most likely the competitors will spread faster on the substrate. You develop from a small volume to a large volume only if you have enough volume of mycelium. It's all about mushrooms need patience and let nature work. You will learn the rhythm of the mycelium that will teach you a lot about life itself.
