What grows better mushrooms?

[@OakandSpore]

Hey team, I actually mix my bags by weight, not by volume as I mentioned in the video. I was confused at the time of filming. I mix the bags and weigh them on a scale after I add pellets, then soy, then water.

[@willbeasley2077]

interesting to see! I live in Vic and I get organic sustainable HWFP from Tasmania by the pallet. I've had some great success, with oysters and nameko on them :)

[@Jason-33W]

Do you get more mushrooms (fruiting) if you have more holes in your bag? For example, if I did a similar setup as you but had holes on top and bottom or in the back, would I get more yields?

[@willbeasley2077]

@@Jason-33W hey dude i can answer this! You probably womt get more yeild but in some cases, the more holes means more air exchange, which can speed up colonization, in this set up it might not be the case, but in something such as buckets for growing, more holes around the sides, and maybe 1 at the bottom for drainage covered with micropore tape will help ensure maximum colonization speeds, and help avoid contamination. Adding extra holes after colonization wont increase yeild, but may provide a larger first flush in different growing techniques

[@HeavenlyDunsparce]

I know it's been a few months since ce you posted this. But if I may, throw a hypothesis your way about why your blocks had such varying differences. You probably already figured it out by now but I belive it's due to temperature gradients /zones in your grow room. Also the VPD (vapor pressure deficit) is probably varying inside your fruiting chamber at different levels of your micro climate you've set up. If you notice, the blocks ranged in size and weight, going from the top shelf to the bottom. What appeared to me was a difference in humidity and temperature levels as to relate to heat rising, cold sinking, and water vapor being dense so at the top where you have it distributed is high in humidity but diminishes as the vapor drops to the ground. Maybe this might be the answer to your problem because your processes, facility and otherwise knowledgability says to me you did everything right. Maybe a tad bit more mixing tho to evenly distribute. Could be you just got tired as you ran through to the end of making the last block lol a workout and a food source.

As an amateur grower I'd say that there is no difference between the pellets and sawdust. The pellets are just compressed together and they turn back into dust when they absorb moisture.
