Although I now have 900 ml of culture 😂 and not sure what to do with it . I expanded for an experiment beings that I'm a noob I didn't expect it to work 💯 and all three 300 ml Mason jars turn out perfect but unfortunately I don't need that much lol

Holy cow, thank you. How relaxed are you with sterilization conditions? I am trying to find the lower bound for sterilization to maximize laziness

[@SporenSprout]

If you use pop corn as a grain spawn you won’t even need a pressure cooker. Just steam bath the jars of corn for 2 hours. The substrate is just pasteurized in the bucket with hot water and adding the spawn doesn’t need to be in front of a flow hood. So it is a very easy relaxed method!

[@Mechaneer]

Love how clear and detailed this was. However, I'm wondering about the specifics of what you meant at the very end when you said "after harvest you can dunk the substrate for 4 hours and get a second flush." Do you or can you talk more specifically about this in another one of your videos?

[@SporenSprout]

I wonder why I get that question all the time! It’s very easy just add some water to the tub and let it soak and then dump out the excess and fruit again. Or remove the substrate cake and soak it and then place it back in the bin.

You can definitely put a few holes in the top tub and cover with micropore tape if you want. Iv grown this way so many times and it works great so I never added holes, I just open it 3 times per day to air it out. If you are gone on vacation then the holes would be helpful.

[@astbrnrd]

@@SporenSprout so "field capacity" is not the same after harvest? That's the part that stumbled me a bit, but i guess it makes sense, it's already fully colonized. But it was worth the ask 😊👍

[@user-yq8he1hu6m]

Lots of good information, thank you!

[@MissBlackMetal]

​@@astbrnrd I'm a beginner too, but thinking about it, I'd presume that field capacity wouldn't be the same after the mycelium has started fruiting, and especially after harvesting. Mushrooms are 90% water, so if you've just harvested a bunch of mushrooms, that means the water that *was* in your substrate is now inside all those mushrooms. So if you want more mushrooms (i.e., another flush/harvest), you'll need to introduce much more water back into the substrate (i.e., rehydrate it by dunking/soaking). I hope this makes sense! 😊

[@denislavgeorgiev4839]

Can i grow white button mushrooms this way, because they need around 90% humidity of what i heard, and at the fruiting stage the second lit is only resting on the other which results in less humidity if im not wrong. What can i do to keep it more humid, so i can grow them? Also thanks for the great and detailed video 😊

[@SporenSprout]

Yes it would work but white button mushrooms require specialized compost substrate and a casing layer to successfully fruit. As long as you use the correct substrate it would work.

[@SporenSprout]

Yes it would work but If you use bran it will have to be sterilized in a pressure cooker first and then dumped into the tub and mixed with grain spawn.

[@wilkiedilkie]

Make sure you also take into account how much fresh air exchange the species needs, if it is something with higher fae requirements you might want to add holes to the top container or otherwise think about increasing airflow

[@DasChristoff]

@@wilkiedilkieagree 100%. In fact most tek methods don’t have enough fae which equals subpar results. I always try to replicate Mother Nature conditions for mushrooms as well as cannabis. Think about it: mushrooms grow outdoors, not confined in a box indoors. I create those same conditions regardless of the tek. High humidity, fresh O2 and temps similar to Mother Nature ie: high 70s day low 70s night. Led lighting on timers for day. Room humidity between 65-80%. Not everyone has a dedicated room for this but if you can you are in full control of the ambient environment. Even doing cakes in sgfc have huge yields when done in these rooms. No matter what tek you do, always try to mimic the outdoor environment and maintaining those conditions. 😉

[@hotpotcoconut6994]

Great video, I have a question. If the tub is completely closed while the mycelium colonises the substrate how does the mycelium breathe if there is no air flowing into the box? And with the other tub on top of the colonised substrate how does it breathe also?

[@SporenSprout]

The lid is not a tight seal even when clicked into place. It is fine how it is for 6-10 days during colonization. You can add a couple holes to the lid and cover with tape and that’s fine too. The top tub is removed 3-5 times daily to fan and mist to replace the air and it works fine. You can add holes to the top bin if you want as well.

​@@tedkravos7129 the reasons I've heard for not spraying the mushrooms (or mycelium) directly are 1) because they are fragile and even the water droplets can bruise them, and 2) I think it was something about mushrooms will soak up water really fast, and too much water directly on them can increase contamination risk? This one I'm not sure about. I think I heard that 1) is less of an issue if you use an ultra-fine mister. Don't quote me on 2) though cuz I'm really hazy on that one.

hi , great video. have a question . Is it works whit PF tek¿ huge from ecuador

[@SporenSprout]

Yes it does. I use a cheese shredder to shred the cakes and I add 4 cakes per 6 quart bin plus like 3-4 quarts of substrate per bin

[@levilinney8364]

Does the jar need light during the inoculation phase???

[@SporenSprout]

No it doesn’t matter

[@JFH52]

Dunk the substrate for four hours! Really, how do you do this? Would simple hydrating not be as good?

[@SporenSprout]

Just put it in a bucket of water with a plate and weight on top to keep it submerged. It allows the whole substrate to absorb maximum hydration. You could try to just spray some water on the surface I guess.

[@JFH52]

You reply quickly! Do you lose substrate? Is it not over saturated?

[@SporenSprout]

@@JFH52 After the first harvest, the substrate is visibly shrunken and light weight. After dunking it returns to normal and you don’t loose any substrate. I’ve never had a problem with over hydrating, just don’t leave it in the bucket for longer than 6 hours or so.

[@soggynug6371]

@@SporenSprout hmm I've had plenty of cakes fall apart after dynking

[@gregoryjacksonsr7452]

Could you substitute manure for the coco cor? Or coco cor substrate with a layer of manure over top? Have access to tons of sheep manure. That should work shouldn't it?

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

Was the black bag just a trash bag or a special clean bag?

[@SporenSprout]

Regular black trash bag

What will I see after I eat the tub

[@EmberCharlotte-nn2ze]

You need to get a good mycologist

[@Adorablecord918]

Is a tented or greenhouse environment critical for grow tek methods such as the dub tub

[@SporenSprout]

No the dub tub doesn’t need a grow tent.

[@Jerry-h2v]

how do you control the temperature

[@SporenSprout]

Just use a space heater in the room or an air conditioner in the room.

[@erikawilliams2837]

Is this tub more expensive than a regular tote? Also, would it be the same to just use a regular tote? Thank you!

[@SalvageBino]

Do you give them 24/7 light in fruiting?

[@SporenSprout]

No, 12 hours is ok

[@BlueOwnzU96]

Hey quick question. How much in weight would that coconut fiber brick be?

[@SporenSprout]

1.4 pounds or 650 grams

[@franki8469]

I wonder will this method work with cubensis?

[@SporenSprout]

Yes

[@mattjones5105]

Should the water you spray with be distilled or sterilized?

[@SporenSprout]

It doesn’t matter, just use tap water.

[@fsgrggr5943]

Hey, quick question: What's your rationale behind starting with a liquid culture instead of buying already grown grain spawn? Is it more cost-effective?

[@houselessguy-de4zl]

New sub no pun intended. What substrate do u recommend for brazil strain? Thanks

[@SporenSprout]

Thanks for watching !🙏 I would go with the basic cococoir/vermiculite like in this video. If you need more potency you can add manure.

Imagine if you could buy a kit of a humidifier that runs on a USB C plug for $4 off ebay. OOPS, I did about 2 months ago.... humidifiers spew out a FOG from their ultrasonic piezos. I bought one thinking it might be good for germinating cactus seeds.... maybe I should buy a few more

[@derrioushall1553]

Yo i have 3 24 oz jars thats almost ready to go...what size monotub should i use

[@SporenSprout]

@@derrioushall1553 I use 6 quart tubs in this video

[@nicolecatanzaro4008]

How much water do you mist and is tap water fine?

[@SporenSprout]

1-2 sprays on to the substrate and then fan it, spray dome 6-10 times to give it a coating of water droplets all around. Do that 3-5 times per day until pinning and then just stop spraying the substrate and only spray the dome each time. Yes tap water is fine.

[@thepropagatinghippie]

what are the measurements of the container you are using
