Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative and comprehensive video. As a newcomer to the field, I'm excited to get started and this video helps to answer a lot of the rookie-type questions.

Happy to help people grow! We're planning to try to add more content like this as we think of what we can post!

I'm using your all in one bags right now. I have them in a tent with 75 degrees and 80% RH it's been 2 weeks since inoc and so far so good.

Love the info, but why is the alcohol prep ok to clean the injection port but it’s not enough for the syringe? I always flame, but I just don’t understand why

@BoomingAcres

19 күн бұрын

The alcohol will help with wiping off any contaminants which may be on the surface, however when wiping off a needle it's possible to catch bits of the swab, or mold particles on the needle, especially in the tip. Then when you inject, the liquid inside pushes out the bits that have been caught on/in the tip which go into the bag and contaminate things. Of course this is speculation, I'm not sure on the actual action but when we ask growers who have contamination with our bags, 9 out of 10 of them have wiped the needle with something before inoculating.

Question. So I got a little impatient and mixed the substrate with about 30% colonization (I waited about 5 weeks and the growth seemed to have slowed). Did I mess it up too badly? I made the conditions better and im colonizing again, but I wanted to see if its not going to work now.

With that time frame for growth, your mycelium was probably somewhat weak to begin with, usually full colonization of the grain layer only takes 2-4 weeks max. As long as you're seeing the mycelium recover, you should still get a completed project and harvest :)

If you inoculate 2 bags with the same liquid culture can you mix the 2 into 1 large monotub ? With everything being healthy and hardy is my question

@BoomingAcres

Yes as long as they're the same variety that's totally fine :)

Can I put a blanket over the all in one bag once I inject the LC or spores? Which do you recommend is better? Spores or LC, thank you!

@BoomingAcres

6 күн бұрын

You can if you want to. Spores have more genetic variance, LC is slightly faster. They both have their pros and cons.

I injected spores about 30 days ago now and have seen zero mycelium growth in the bag now. Is it likely it will eventually colonize? Also could I add a different strain of liquid culture to the bag as to not waste it? (watching through this video, i’ve realized it is near an outside wall which has likely dropped the temp.)

@BoomingAcres

Ай бұрын

If you inoculated and left your bag for 14 days without touching the bag you should see growth. The biggest reason for failure with these projects is handling the bag too soon after inoculating, causing damage to the early mycelium causing it to stop growing. If nothing is growing in the bag that means it's still sterile and yes, you can still use it for another attempt with the same or another genetic variety.

Do I gotta put them outside or can I just leave it in my closet?

@BoomingAcres

In your closet is fine, somewhere dark and warm is what you're aiming for.

So if my house is like 72-75 room temp can i just leave it in my closet to inoculate?

@BoomingAcres

Yes, you'd inoculate the bag then put it somewhere warm to colonize.

Do you recommend folding over the all in one bags too?

@BoomingAcres

27 күн бұрын

Yes, for the initial colonization folding the bag over prevents moisture from leaving the bag while waiting for everything to colonize. Once fully colonized, we recommend raising the bag up to allow mushrooms to form in the top open section.

Does this apply to other manufacture's grow bags as well?

@BoomingAcres

Yes, these methods would work well for other bags, ours are the best though so we recommend ours over theirs!

mates one can use ordinary ziplog bags in pressure cooker, right?

@BoomingAcres

Absolutely not. Those bag are not going to be able to handle the temperature and will melt, which can either damage your cooker or cause a major accident. Don't do that.

When I inoculated my bags, I left them folded up. I didn’t spread the bag open like you did. Does that matter?

No, we do not include genetic material with our products unless a gourmet liquid culture is purchased separately.

I inoculated 8 grain bags.5 cc in each and it’s been 1 month and I see no results except for 1 bag ,how is this possible

@Nonameshusband

Ай бұрын

i’ve seen recommendations of about 2.5-5 ccs per all in one bag, i haven’t researched grain bags yet but i assume it’s similar for grain bags. My first try isn’t going well either though😭

@BoomingAcres

Ай бұрын

You can try inoculating with more material, if you only used half a cc per bag that's not enough material in the bags. If you used 5cc per bag though, you should be seeing growth. Check that the bags are somewhere warm and in the dark. Try inoculating with more material and if that doesn't do the trick feel free to reach out via email.

You can sterilize the needle with fire, people often heat until red hot with a torch. That is the safest way.

Can i put it on heating mat

@BoomingAcres

6 күн бұрын

No, we specifically recommend not doing that. Placing your bag directly on a heat mat will quickly dry it out. We recommend if you need to heat your bag to put it in a tote bin or box with a heat mat inside but not resting on it. This will warm the air in the box but not the bag directly, keeping it usable for longer and keeping the moisture inside the bag for the mycelium to utilize.

Why colonize in the dark? Do you have some sort of fact surrounding that or are you just repeating what someone else said?

@BoomingAcres

17 күн бұрын

So my thought process on why in the dark has always been because in nature that's the environment for the mycelium. It's growing either inside of wood, where sunlight won't hit it, in compost, or in manure or soil. It's always inside of something where sun won't hit it, then the fruiting bodies emerge and that's the only time part of the system is exposed to direct sunlight. When you're out in the forest, you can see a log on the ground, no signs of mushrooms or mycelium, then when you peel off some bark you see a network of mycelium growing underneath. Same thought process for this application :)

@@BoomingAcres fair enough. I just know from my experience that cubes grown with light are better than cubes grown in darkness as there's no place in the world where cubensis grow naturally in the absence of light. I do understand your theory on the mycelium being underground, therefore in total darkness
