Your videos are very informative and much appreciated. I am from Greeneville and am starting my own mushrooms. Have settled down to your videos because they have been great help to me.

Thanks, Andrew, i learn something every time i watch your stuff.

Good to hear since I have been increasing my bag cuts lately. Actually for my chestnuts I am removing the whole bag like we do for shitakes, and the chestnuts show all over with much bigger yields!!

Great tips! I will be trying this cut on my next blocks!

Andrew, I love to see everything your doing and thank you for sharing so much knowledge. One thing I'd love to see is some shows on preparing and cooking different mushrooms for different dishes. Maybe even invite one of your chefs as a guest, or even film at their restaurant preparing and explaining their dishes. That could almost be a whole sub-series. That could also highlight them as a customer but get them attention that viewers might want to go there to patron their business too. Win-win for everyone. Could call it Cooking Mushrooms for Mossbacks 🤣 Thanks again for what you do.

Southwest mushrooms mainly cuts the tops off, leaving about 3 inches of bag. That’s what I’ve been doing and had great flushes.

Awesome!! I'm currently doing bucket tek, and I'm wondering if I do a long cut on the bucket and try to simulate this achievement.

Love your videos! Is there a reason why most shiitake blocks I see in fruiting Chambers are completely taken out of the bag? Do they have a different process than other mushrooms? I thought that removing the bag entirely tends to dry out the substrate.

Nice... thanks for sharing

Will you/do you address the volume vs weight sales strategy somewhere else? I'm going through a ton of your videos rn, and have watched a few in the past, but I'm really curious about this!

Hey Buddy, good job and coodoes to the harvest. The more area you cut.. the more mushrooms you get.. just you might not get the third flush. But way better mass.

i think the flap causes a micro climate which the pins love, its the same idea as covering tubs of cubensis with foil or wax paper to cause a micro climate and a massive pinset

Andrew, which particular unicorn bags do you use? We're having issues with pinning in the bag before full colonization. Thanks!

I tape my first flush cut closed using packing tape & cut open the back side for flush #2.

How do you breed lions mane for larger flushes? Do you put spores to agar and select healthiest sectors and put to spawn or do you clone to agar from a large fruit and select healthiest sectors and put to spawn. Still waiting on that sterilizer trough video :)

Do you think lions mane will benefit from this as well? Thanks for sharing!

Curious about the 2nd flush technique if you can share some

Hi Andrew, thanks for the video. I've been trying to increase my yield playing around with different surface areas to expose. You're getting great results there. What temps are you running to get those flushes, please? Do you keep the same temp morning and night? Cheers.

So with such a big cut and how do you keep it from drying out the substrate? I guess the answer is you’ve got a really great system set up in your grow room.

What size bags are you using?

Does higher yield mean the substrate is being drained of nutrients more quickly? Less flushes?

@quadlawnmowerman

2 жыл бұрын

there is a ratio of surface area exposed to fresh air (the hole/cut) to size of block you should run. These guys are using large 11-15lb blocks which means they need a much large surface area to get high 1st yields compared to what they were doing previously. So yes, less flushes and generally less overall total yield combine with less efficient use of substrate, but the increase in yield for first flush is worth the lower efficient for the vast majority of most farms and there are not many bothering with more than the 1st & 2nd flush anyways. It would be interesting to see if their average cap size got a bit smaller for these guys in the coming weeks as this is normally the case when you go from small to large holes.

I would like to see side by side comparisons, the way you used to do it, next to the new way. Without something like that, it's hard to know, what to think.

I am very grateful that this Dude is not performing brain surgery on me.

Do they need water spray also? Or if it's humidity level is ok than it don't need water spray?

Hey Andrew, great video! have you actually weighed a good amount of bags and compared to the previous cuts to see if this really increased yield? no offence but it seems to simple, plenty of people even myself have at one point or another cut this way and i think the consensus was bigger pinset but smaller mushrooms or worse just more pins that end up aborting wasting energy. I'll try it again though, maybe the key is the little flap of plastic to shield them but think i already tried this at some point or another. Btw why are some of your bags not fully colonised, i know that they are on a schedule but what is generally the case? bad mixing, low spawn rate, bags too hot, contam, etc?

@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial

2 жыл бұрын

The bags aren't fully grown in because we stick to the schedule and we had a new guy being trained in shaking bags. Many of those basically were top spawned until he learned better. I'll say I thought all the same things until I tried again. It's proving to be a yield increaser over the smaller squares big time.

quick tip for homegrowers without a fruiting chamber. you need to have a very high relative humidity in your air or your block will dry out with this cut. without a real fruitingchamber with a fogger this will not work well.

Hang on... wait... you sell by volume? How does that even work? I mean, liquid is sold by volume. And even liquid is determined by weight. 1L = 1kg. (Even if you are going by ounces, ounces are determined by it's conversion from kg) Mushrooms are the weirdly shaped. I can understand the convenience of measuring something like flour by volume in baking. But I never would. There is no consistency. Sorry to go off on a tangent here. When I purchase mushrooms, of any kind, yes, I buy them by collecting the volume I want for the dishes I know I want to make that week. But to know how much I am going to pay, there has to be some way of measuring it. How do???
