The Infamous Drippy Corn Tek - Hold Your Hand Edition

I bequeath upon you the Drippiest of Corns, the one drip you actually want, that does not require a shot of Penicillin.
Raised trivet used in this video

!! I have a slight correction to make, I said source of glucose and I meant sucrose. Ill definitely be referring to this in future videos as "simple sugars" as to not make that mistake again. Thank you Simon Sheep for catching that so I could fix it !!
This method was first introduced to me by @stunnin21 on IG, hes a pretty awesome guy. Id also like to thank NatureJohn from Discord for his assist with modifying this tek to feed corn.

When I look up corn as grain Spawn people either love it or hate it there is no middle ground you got me convinced I already have 6lbs and the raw sugar to

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

I have seen that as well, and its always confused me. Before using the entire Drippy Corn process (not just the sugar), I was more of an oats man myself. I had used corn before in the past, and it did just fine. Nut now with the entire method: forced hydration, exposing endospores, vermiculite as hydration regulation and storage, proper sterilization, etc I am a Drippy man 4 sure. Not only have I never understood the hate for corn, Ive also never understood they hype for millet or rye. Not hating on either, have used them both, but I didnt think they were anything special either. Most all grains work well if you prep them accordingly and sufficiently sterilize them.

[@GingeRenee]

For anyone using an instant pot this is what i had to do for the same results. I used an instant pot since that’s the only pressure cooker i have. I believe they only reach 10-12 psi on high. I had to cook my popcorn on high for 60 minutes. The grain wasn’t saturated enough on the inside after checking it after a 30 minute cycle and then an additional 20 and then another 15-20. I had only a few burst kernels but the majority were plump and nicely saturated without bursting. Then i proceeded as directed. I then ran the sterilization as directed. I will probably invest in a old school pressure cooker to be able to better fit quartz jars and to have more control over the psi. I just wanted to add what i found for time run for the hydration cycle using the instant pot in case anyone else is wondering. Hope this helps.

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

Interesting. Im wondering if it would be the same as a single 60min run, since it was broken up into 3 separate cycles. Soon I should be finding a cheap used one to test this out with. Considering youve already done some leg work, Ill start out with a 60min cycle and make adjustments as needed.

[@justin_adams8]

If using spore syringes (without knowing the way they are prepared) when inoculating the jars, would using drippy corn vs normal corn be beneficial in terms of speeding up the colonization of the jar? Or is this only helpful when using a liquid culture or agar which shares the same introduced product to the corn (like corn syrup). Hope this question makes sense. Thanks!

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

Excellent question, and you made plenty of sense. Drippy Corn most definitely works best when using LC or colonized agar to inoculate your grains. However, using spores on Drippy Corn is a double edged sword my friend. The simple sugars will still slightly accelerate growth, but it will also feed any fungal and bacterial contaminants. Spores should be considered inherently dirty. I would never suggest anyone to inoculate grains with spores. I would rather suggest to germinate spores to agar first, and once you have a clean culture either use that live mycelium to inoculate some LC broth (to then inoculate the grains with), or use that colonized agar puck itself to inoculate the grains. If you absolutely mush use spores to inoculate, I would suggest an entirely different method known as PF Tek (or BRF cakes), until you have a fruit to clone with.

Thank you for the great video. Just to cement it in my mind, for feed corn the process is to bring the corn up to pressure and then immediately off the heat for the hydration part? popcorn is available for me but I have access to feed corn and it is much cheaper. Thank you again for all the helpful content

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

Many have opted for the feed corn route, and I myself have run it many times. Yes, you are correct that once you bring the PC up to 15psi kill the heat and let depressurize naturally.

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

@@ETMIRAGE Thats an excellent question. As Ive never tried it, I wouldnt suggest it. Mainly because it is a nutrient source, and without it already having the hydration I feel it may be a problem sterilizing it. Also, I feel that popcorn, a closed ended grain, wouldnt do much to absorb moisture in the same manner vermiculite would. The allure of vermiculite is that it is non-nutritious substance that is very good at absorbing hydration, whilst still keeping that hydration available to the myc during its colonization phase. Also, without them being force hydrated it is likely you would not be able to expose their endospores for the sterilization run, thus heavily increasing the rate of contamination. Thats really cool that youve had success with the Instapot though! Again, great question, and I love the interaction with my audience😁 Stay safe, and Happy Cultivating!!

However, seed and plant based oils are actually recommended by some manufacturers to help seal and condition rubber, all the way from rubber rain boots to rubber O rings and gaskets.

I just made some drippy corn for my penis envy lc. Going to inoculate them today and praying for the best. Started a bunch of different growth mediums to give myself the best chance at having a harvest as soon as possible. 😊

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

which mediums did you choose to implement to embark on this journey?

PhillyGoldenTeacher ran a test with a variety of grains and brown rice was the best by far.

@@SomeGuy-vo7we that is a negative my good sir, you are mistaken. The video youre referencing was published over a year ago. PGT has since released a video (2mo ago) that illustrates Drippy Corn. In the opening paragraph of his video he states "Drippy Corn has sped up my colonization time twice as fast, so I think its worth sharing so you guys can try it out for yourself". Brown rice came nowhere near matching the colonization speed of Drippy Corn. Also to note, it is purported that corn kernels have a better nutrient profile, and the larger grains allow for better aeration. Appreciate you commenting though 😁

Do you have the ratio if i wanna use lme is it still 1/2 oz for every pound?? i won a 12 lc syringe giveaway from dichotomas keys and he uses lme so i wanna use that instead of glucose your the fuckin man white beard 🫡 this is the 3rd time I’ve watched this and I learn something new every time 💪🏼

[@WhiteBeardHashtag1205]

albeit I do agree that its likely best to use LME, I personally havent used it, so Im not exactly sure how to advise you on this. I think youre on the right track for sure. I think that same ratio is going to work out for you regardless of which additive you employ. I would definitely FAFO this, and if you do, please come back here to this comment and let us all know the results. Youd be surprised at how many others (including myself) would benefit from this knowledge 😉
