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!

I heard you only should mist the walls and lid. I dont know why but they say do not spray water on top of the mushrooms. I dont know the reasoning behind them saying do not spray water on top of the shrooms.

[@MissBlackMetal]

​@@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.

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.

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.

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! 😊

[@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. 😉

If you take some mycelium after a second flush and add it to fresh substrate, can you continue growing without needing to re-inoculate grain spawn? Moreover, can you explain briefly second flush? You said dunk in water for 4 hours. How exactly do you do that? Thanks. Good vid.

[@SporenSprout]

I’m sure you could do that but the chances of failure increase. It’s really easy, just pour water into the tub and allow the substrate to soak up the water for 1-2 hours and then dump the water out and start fruiting again.

[@SporenSprout]

You can just use indirect sunlight

[@zorgath420]

Awesome video! Thanks for the knowledge. When fruiting is light necessary? Like if I left the dub tub in a dark closet in fruiting conditions would they still grow?

[@SporenSprout]

Thanks for watching! They will still grow without light but the mushrooms may be skinny, long and deformed with a smaller yield.

[@zorgath420]

@@SporenSprout aha! Good to know. Thank you Broski! I'm new to mycology so appreciate the info. I'm subscribed 👍🏻

[@lucydog3376]

@@zorgath420 Mushrooms do not need light to grow. They do not use light for photosynthesis like plants do. All the light does is tell the mushroom which way is up and which direction it should grow in. Which is very handy and highly recommended to achieve consistency and easier growing. But yes, they will still grow without it.

What a great tutorial…thank you!!! 🍄

[@jeffreysousa1104]

instead of using the clear bin and lining it with black garbage bag could we just use a coloured bin but still with the clear lid ?

[@SporenSprout]

That would probably work

[@SagemodeDuey]

So do you think a pound of substrate would be equal to 3 quarts?

[@badgyalrubyy]

I know the idea is to stay as sterile as possible but do they need to be kept in a sterile environment to grow in the dub tub phase as well? Like by a flow hood or in an SAB? or can it sit on top of my fridge?

[@SporenSprout]

They do not need a sterile environment while fruiting

[@User12565]

Thanks man going to have to give this a shot, easy straight forward video man cheers!!! You can buy already made grain ready to inoculate if I’m right ? Let me know.

Thanks for watching! Yes, you can buy pre sterilized rye grain online so it’s that much easier, Good luck!

[@knifeskillz911]

When you add the lid and let it colonize for 10 days, it doesnt need any FAE at that time?

[@SporenSprout]

That’s correct

[@hideousred]

Dont the mushrooms need ventilation when fruiting? Also, why not spraying the substrate directly?

[@SporenSprout]

Yes the lid is removed and ventilated 3-4 times per day. You can mist the substrate and fan it to cause evaporation and that helps induce pinning.

[@hideousred]

@@SporenSprout ok but why do you mist the walls and not the fruit?

[@SporenSprout]

@@hideousred If you spray the fruits, they could start growing bacteria.

[@hideousred]

@@SporenSprout oh I see, good to know!

[@robb-2202]

Thank you for the great video. How much grain do you use in your spawn? Looks to be about a quart, but wondering if you use a specific amount? I'm considering using a spawn grain bag and thinking that I could divide into two for two bins. Each spawn bag is 2 quarts. Thank you.

[@SporenSprout]

Yeah that sounds good, each quart jar is about 1 LB of spawn.

[@graddsky]

What light schedule do you use during fruiting?

[@SporenSprout]

@@graddsky 12-12. Indirect light is fine. They can even grow ok with no light

[@weeknders]

How do you get a jar lid like that? With a port. Do you sell them, buy them, make them? If so HOW? THERE ARE SO MANY STEPS JUST GLOSSED OVER.

I have a lot of other videos that show how to make everything. Here’s how to make lids: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJK0o6yCmp2Gfs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4vbd2N9o8yoiLc

Hey man I’m pretty new to this how did you get grain spawn in a jar ? What did you use I’ve only ever seen spawn bags is there a better of the two ?

[@SporenSprout]

Here’s the video of how to make the grain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3e0o2WAndagfZY You can put the grain in bags or jars, it’s just preference

[@Jerry-h2v]

how do you control the temperature

[@SporenSprout]

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

For white mashroom i use Soil do i need to splashing water ? Could u advice what i should do if i use soil in steps.. Appreciated

White mushroom needs fresh pasteurized compost substrate and a top layer of unpasteurized soil. Yes spray water on the dome.

@@SporenSprout thx i will try it

[@yakivpopavich]

After 4 days I only have like 20% mycelium growth ontop of the substrate. Maybe my casing layer was a little too thick?.

[@SporenSprout]

Wait longer before opening it.

[@yakivpopavich]

@@SporenSprout Thanks, will do!. I was trying to see the colonization level without opening it but all the beads of condensation on the lid obscured my view. But when I popped it open I was kinda bummed to only see circular patches around forming thus far.

After mixing the substrate and grain spawn together, do you have to add any moisture?

[@SporenSprout]

No

[@BlueOwnzU96]

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

[@SporenSprout]

1.4 pounds or 650 grams

[@Marqtra]

When you put the lid on at the 4 minute mark, are you sealing it completely or just resting it on? If you seal it completely wont there be 0 gas exchange ?

[@SporenSprout]

It’s just resting and you can crack it a bit if you need to when the mushrooms start getting bigger. This method requires that you remove the top and fan the substrate 3-5 times per day because there is no gas exchange holes in the top bin. I guess you could make a few holes with a filter in the top bin to help reduce the amount of times you have to remove the top per day.

[@Marqtra]

@@SporenSprout Sorry, I had meant the 4 minute mark! So after spawning to bulk while you are waiting the 10 days or so for the mycelium to colonize the entirety of the substrate, you are just resting the lid on to allow for GE?

[@SporenSprout]

@@Marqtra No the lid is sealed, there is not supposed to be gas exchange.

[@Marqtra]

@@SporenSprout Thank you! .. I get a ton of conflicting answers everywhere on this. What makes this step different from the colonization of grain after inoculation? Why does there need to be GE after inoculation but not on this step?

[@MrGuffpuff]

​@@Marqtra i think thers enough exchange as the lid isnt air tight if u used a tub with a seal on the lid ud need holes with a filter

[@kalebfourtner2140]

So when someone says to dunk it in water for 2nd flush, do you take it out of the liner? Or put the whole container in water and sink it?

[@SporenSprout]

Yeah carefully take it out of the liner and submerge it. You have to be very careful not to break the cake. You could even just pour water into the bin and then let it sit for a few hours to absorb and then tilt it to dump out excess
