I am so confused 🫤 “lay in tub with monotube with perlite and water “ ?? WTH ? How? Just sink the bag in water in the tub? And what is perlite ? This video jumped around really confusing
@@kevovernonyou can get perlite from any garden supply store. You soak the perlite in water and then put a cookie tray on top. Then set the colony on top of that. This way inside of the container will stay humid without getting the product wet.
The instructions say to put 5cc per bag, so you can technically use 2 grow bags with 5cc a bag, however if you put 10cc in one bag, that is perfectly fine, you just won't have any left for another bag provided you only had 10cc to begin with. Hope that helps.
Guys I didn't buy my bag through this company but the company I did buy from, since I only had one bag, recommended using the full 10cc to help prevent any contamination although they said 100cc was too much. They said they've been successful using 10cc before and recommended laying the bag on its side and injecting the whole thing and let it sit for 10 seconds, then rotate and sit another 10, then again, so on and so forth till you've done it to all 6 sides and it should give it enough time to kinda seep in and spread out. I did so and had no issues with colonization. It's the fruiting I'm having an issue with 🥺
maybe ppl are sharing with their partner or friends and other family members? I don’t think it’s necessarily about them eating that much and wanting larger yields. I would prefer a larger yield so i don’t have to have bags going all the time. Just saying
@@GingeReneethat's a very good point my friend. However that's illegal (distribution) in 99.9 percent of american cities. I know, its a law a we bend, but, not something I condone.
If you listen to what she says you would understand, she said if you want to transfer it to a mono tub add more substrate to mix in if it's a little dry and so you can add a casing layer, the substrate provides more nutrients for the mushrooms, and more surface are in the monotub so you can get a larger yield.
You guys need to rework your instructional material. The instructions here dont accurately match the paperwork you send. This will cause confusion among inexperienced growers. It might be a good idea to go over your instructionals and make sure they all same to do the same things. (Small example: this video says to aerate for 20-30 minutes but the paperwork says five minutes) Its those small details that beginners sweat.
As a beginner and a complete over thinker I agree this would drive me nuts in situations like this I just go with the number in the middle and say a prayer to a god
You can use a grow light there hotter than normal bulbs and sufficient replicate the effect from the suns light just go to a gardening place and tell them you have you inherited a plant you can't remember what it's called but the previous owner told you to get a grow light they'll hook you right up
Curious if you could tell us the yield difference between the bag flush vs the other bag that you emptied into the tub? How much more does the tub method get you?
You get more surface area in a tub so bigger yield. But you have to be more careful with contamination risks, so take care when transferring. Better to learn how to inoculate grain and spawn to bulk. It'll be cheaper and faster than these kinds of all-in-one bags. They're fine for very beginners, but I moved on quickly from them because of how long they took for such small yields.
@@KMFDM_Kid2000I’m ok with smaller yields , with my little research contamination seems to be a really big deal. I tried a year ago with jars and really didn’t know what I was doing. One got contamination and I didn’t identify it fast enough and ruined the whole batch. I’m trying again. I bought a bag from another company and mycelium did begin , was very slow. I did a break and shake and it really hasn’t come back visibly yet. Been a week. I bought to bags from this company so I have more potential for success. With these bags would you say I really don’t run a high risk of contamination ?
I bought two of these bags and I'm just starting growing but part of me feels like this is all a scam. I have random mushrooms growing off of wood in my basement lol. Mushrooms grow outside with no help. The next syringe I buy, I'm just injecting It straight into the ground in my backyard 😅
@@TheLuckyShepherd I tried growing once a couple years ago in jars and failed. Found these bags. First try and it worked. Be very sterile for the first steps of inoculation, and then acquire patience. Just let the spores do their thing. Getting good spores is probably the only thing you need to worry about
I have 2 bags and I forgot to whipe the injection port on the first one I did. They are 9 days old now i did about 4cc each bag and have a good amount of mycelium growing in both, ide say bottom is about 30% covered. I'm gonna let it keep going until around maybe 3 weeks and then break it up. I guess only time will tell if they have any contam but so far so good 🤞. I also did 3 uncle bens bags with about 1cc each the same day as i did the bags, just to use the last bit of syringe. They also have a good amount of mycelium growing.
@@andrespaz989 bro you are supposed to break and shake when the bag is about 20-30% colonized, it will save you time trust me, I did not break and shake in my first grow and it took incruciantingly long compared to my more smarter second flush.
Ahhh so I do need a substrate bag. Any tips on how someone could rig up a camera to capture the growth process? I figure cutting a hole in the monotub may mess up the process a bit. Thoughts? I genuinely was going to keep a plug out of the monotub lid and just setup my camera to align with that hole.
I thoght this process would take 3 weeks max. Im about over a month down the road and have a bag of dirt thats almost all white. Hopefully i didnt make a mistake
This may be metabolites that the mycelium produces. You will need to open the bag once it is fully colonized, and smell the contents. IF they smell like soil, you should be good. If it smells like garbage or rotten food, it is contaminated.
(Fruiting stage) When I cut open the bag after recolonization on option #1 to let it fruit do I need to mist it like the like option #3? Or do I just give it sunlight 12 hours a day and that’s it?
Just harvested my first flush from this very bag... Lot of blueing on the stems, is that bad? (Blueing in the bag before harvest, of course worse after picking... Is that normal or ????
Thank you for the information you shared. I just wanted to ask you not to use back ground music in the next clips, because surely everyone who clicks on this article is looking for content and not listening to music, especially if the volume of the music is louder than the speaker's voice. The second issue is that the method you mentioned takes almost two months. Is this related to your method or does the type of mushroom you grow take more time?
If it isn't contaminated, it'll still colonize. Might take longer because things have to reconnect and such. But shrooms especially something easy like Golden Teachers/B+ are quite forgiving and are a tough strain that can take a lot of mistakes and still grow well.
@@KMFDM_Kid2000I hope so, cause I have golden teachers and I may have did my break and shake too early. I’m just leaving it be now. I think patience is really required. I also hope these bags really lower the chances of failure due to contamination. I tried jars but that didn’t go well. I have three bags at different stages so hopefully I up my chances for success. This definitely isn’t easy and there’s so much to learn. Everyone says be super sterile which I have been, but in these videos I see a lot of bare hand handling .
@@michaelharris8354 I have not had good luck with all in one bags. But I did produce nearly 4 ounces dry from 6 Uncle Ben's Ready Rice bags. I would highly recommend that method. Cheap, easy, efficient, and effective. Your sterile technique still needs to be impeccable though. I was a nurse for 14 years prior to my current profession, so that taught me how to keep things clean and sterile while working. It's been effective so far. I had a very nice harvest of some Albino Texas PE6 and I'm working on growing some clones in agar. It's going to be a very fine summer this year. I love the Uncle Ben's Tek. So cheap and easy to do.
I inoculated my bag 2 months ago and put in a dark place at 75 degrees it’s finally populating the grain around the sides but not much on the bottom. I’m going to mix it up finally. Just taking forever for the mycelium to grow. Could I have a problem or maybe just not good syringe to start with.
How many CC did you inject? If parts of the grain seem to not want to colonize it's usually a sign of infection, even if something isn't growing there it usually means there's something you can't see that the mycelium is fighting against or can't attach to... 2 months usually should be fully colonized assuming you injected 2-5cc
@markkoster1070 probably had a contamination... if it's over hydrated it won't do good, that's the only downside to using full 10cc, but that means it was probably over hydrated when you got it
@@mikeloadahow did the grow go? i just started this week. Bought 3 syringes of different strains and inoculated a bunch of different mediums. I’m trying a bunch of teks out to give myself the best chance at getting a harvest in a couple months.
@@GingeReneeI’m at the fruiting stage at the moment but looks good so far just been a slower process than it should of been because I think the temperature i have been growing at was to low I think, still not sure if it will fruit I should of done more than one to increase my chances
2-5, you can do the full 10cc if you want it to colonize faster, be sure to move the needle around so it has more surface area to colonize. Getting some of the liquid along the sides is good so you can see it colonize sooner
You’re pretty! “Paper clip, hair clip, random clip” lol i like that. Sounds like something that could be marketed like “ yea dude i gotta run down to the store and by a box of (random clips)” homie returns…”yo mane these ain’t no “random clips” you got the knock off brand “miscellaneous clips!” “Awe bruh there gonna have to work.”🤪
Noticed in the video they didn't use micro pore tape on the injection site. Did you do the same? If you didn't, that could have increased contamination risk. Trying to make sure I don't accidentally make a mistake with mine.
@@FlintAntlers1There’s no reason to use micropore on the injection port. It’s supposed to seal up anyway when the needle is removed. I just put some packing tape over it to be extra sure nothing can get in. Not sure why so many say to use the micropore for this purpose.
@@sixandup939 rather safe than sorry i guess. Assumed micro pore tape would be the way to go since it's mentioned in many tutorials and also not too expensive
@FlintAntlers micropore tape is used to filter contam while letting air exchange happen. With the injection port, you don't need air exchange, having a complete seal would be the safest. If the self healing port works, nothing needed, if it doesn't, more than micropore tape should be used to be safe. There should be an air exchange filter already on whatever grow bags you use, bought or diy
Thanks guys!

Hi, can you do a video on lion’s mane mushroom kit. Thanks
Hey, did you do video's with your dad while foraging? I remember the crawfish vid.
I thoght this process would take 3 weeks max. Im about over a month down the road and have a bag of dirt thats almost all white. Hopefully i didnt make a mistake
You're probably fine if the bag is all white with mycelium. The colonization alone takes 3-4 weeks, more for some species.
There's 2 different types of spores you can start with. One grows a lot faster I think.
So i inoculated 2 of these all in 1 griw bags..
Both bags show green spots among the mycelium..Are the entire grows ruined?
This may be metabolites that the mycelium produces. You will need to open the bag once it is fully colonized, and smell the contents. IF they smell like soil, you should be good. If it smells like garbage or rotten food, it is contaminated.
I bought one but had no luck. It wasn't the syringe. I did another north spore all in one bag with the same syringe and had success.
The one thing I learned since I been growing, is no matter what never expect success.
