what is the problem details : I'm a first timer and i have 5 shoe box all of them with full of pins 90% of the surface covered even the sides but they stop growing after 3-5 cm and they just start dropping spores.... PES Amazonian and GT .. probably i'm doing something wrong because of both my strain is the same.

I've gone to the next level and built a flow hood and did my first LC. I have the ingredients to do argar plates so I can test how we I'm doing with my sanitization. I also brew my own beer so I'm familiar with the sanitization process but sometimes its easy to forget a simple step. Have been using a food safe no rinse sanitizer I use for brewing to prep my small containers and liners with and good success so far. Peace ✌

[@denawagner360]

Nice comment. I was kinda sparked when you said you brew beer and used food grade non rinse sanitizer for your tubs. I make wine and use Sulfite tablets to sanitize my wine making gear. Is that what you were referring to? Appreciate any tips you might have. Beer brewing is more exacting than wine when it comes to sanitation so just wanted to see what you use. Mush appreciation.

Sorry for the double comment - this is for all the folks out there new and old. In this video sage mentions his genetics. I for one can vouch for the quality here. After dealing with several vendors I can confirm that sage's spore collection technique is CLEAN as a whistle. No contams from these swabs. Not only that but priced well, thoughtfully prepared and packaged. So for anyone unsure about where to start stick with sage and you will be swimming in fruit before you know it.

Hey great content! I just bought a 5lb bag from mushroom supplies and B+ isolated spores from ITW. Im gonna set the bag up in my closet. My thermometer says it’s 72 degrees in there. Would you recommend putting a heating pad under the bag? And if so would you introduce the heating pad immediately after injection or when the mycelium spreads? Just looking for your advice. Keep up the good content. Edit: also if you don’t mind…. Would you inject the entire syringe into that 5lb bag? Kinda thinking about it. I also read I could inject in a few different spots to speed it up? Thanks anyways!

[@Ironsights74]

Love the videos! Do you (or anybody that you know) check the PH levels of your substrate before you add spawn? I’m sure I’m overthinking it since most spawn appear to be quite strong when they’re ready to birth. But it’s my first time going the monotub route and just wanted to make sure I’m not underestimating the sensitivity of spawn. Many thanks!

[@Mycophilia]

Nope never have with coir, the only time generally when you should be checking your pH is if you make your own casing layer, which is something done for exotics. Since you’re new just don’t worry about casing layers, not necessary at all for coir lovers.

[@lordcozza420]

Hey man I see a few videos here and there where people will still harvest their mushrooms if there’s contamination in their cake, but can’t find any videos about weather you can or can’t use/eat the mushrooms that have contamination on their cakes, can you please help me out here you legend

[@Mycophilia]

It depends on the contamination. If it’s trich or penicillium mold, I would harvest it as long as it’s not growing on there. Other types of molds, I would not harvest. It’s really a case by case basis. If a tub smells funky due to bacteria or yeast, I would harvest them but make sure to boil them well before eating, just to be safe.

[@GETITDON3]

I started on step 2🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ gotta go back and learn the first step

[@Mycophilia]

Inoculant is inoculant, whether you made it or not! I will cover making your own inoculant later on in the series so as long as things are going fine I wouldn't worry :)

[@TheYoungDread]

Is a light source necessary for fruiting?

[@Mycophilia]

No

[@burnoneortwo7791]

Never grew before, I'm just inquiring, is there a standard size recommendation for growing box(monotub?) to substrate ratio? for example, a qt of substrate to a 4qt shoe box container? i dont know if im asking this right

[@Mycophilia]

My video on substrate ratios are made exactly for these questions :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3rUnp2Xrbp_h9E

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Why do you recommend just coco coir over cvg? I haven't tried just coir, but I'm assuming maybe less contamination drawbacks and negligible difference in fruiting vigor?

[@Mycophilia]

The second part yes, absolutely no perceivable differences in fruiting performance. I haven’t used verm in many years. There is no contamination risk as they are all non-nutritious.

[@williamj1813]

Thanks for your time and knowledge. I'm new to growing so I was wondering when the tub is in 'Birthing' are you supposed to have the tub in complete darkness until you put it in fruiting? or is it ok to have the tub exposed to ambient light while birthing? I see/hear so many conflicting videos on how to do this that it gets confusing. Thanks

They don’t grow in caves. Light is totally fine.

Because I trust your methods and experience I have a question that I can't seem to get a consensus on. My grain bag is just about completely spawned (I'm at about 26 days since inoculation) but I have some travel plans coming up. My spawn is ready now but my concern is that if I go to the next step and transfer to my tub, I will be away when its time to put my tub into fruiting conditions. My ideal solution would be to leave everything as is, in the grain bag until my travel is over (7 more days). My questions is, how long can I let the spawn hang out in the grain bag?

[@Mycophilia]

If it’s just 7 days, just leave them be and spawn them when you get back.

[@MrMrduke1975]

I have a random question. Could I not use the shoebox lid instead put it in a very large zip lock bag?

Yes you can use any bag as long as the conditions are met for the substrate. A good balance of airflow and humidity retention.

[@HomeBwah]

I know its an older video but hoping you see this. Mostly commenting because of your jabs at Reddit haha. So I will be going out of country for a month. I have a grow bag that is getting close to fruiting conditions but not there yet. My problem is, I wont have time to fruit and harvest before I leave. Reddits advice was to wrap the bag in tin foil and put it in the fridge to slow the growth until I get back then fruit. But your video says the fridge is bad. Just trying to see if I can salvage this grow. I did not expect it to take this long. Whoops

[@Mycophilia]

No need to wrap in foil, you can just put the bag in the fridge and spawn when you return. The mycelium will be weakened, but if the spawn is clean chances are good it’ll put out at least a flush.
