I just got my all in one grow bags in from booming acres and i really appreciate Howard being so quick to respond to emails. Really a great company. LC spores comes tomorrow and then i can get inoculating my grow bags. I’m so excited first time growing mushrooms. Eager to get started and get that harvest. 😊
Awesome I'm growing my first time too... I inoculated my envious phallus on July 11th and I got my 3lb millet bag from booming acres and it's doing so BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍 I need to hurry up and get a 5 lb bag of substrate from them before it's ready because it's almost filled with mycelium
Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative and comprehensive video. As a newcomer to the field, I'm excited to get started and this video helps to answer a lot of the rookie-type questions.
I wish I had watched this video a few weeks ago. Lots of pointers that other UA-camrs didn't mention (like keeping the bad folded during colonization, or trying fruiting without making the slits on top).
Ayyyyyyeeee!!!! Your videos have helped so much. I watched all your beginners guide videos and I’m about to mix for the first time after 2-3 months of growing. What do I do after my first fruit & harvest?
That's awesome, happy to hear that we've been helpful! After you get your first flush, set your project back how it was and wait for the next flush! We have a section on subsequent flushes on our website in the instructional section.
Love the info, but why is the alcohol prep ok to clean the injection port but it’s not enough for the syringe? I always flame, but I just don’t understand why
The alcohol will help with wiping off any contaminants which may be on the surface, however when wiping off a needle it's possible to catch bits of the swab, or mold particles on the needle, especially in the tip. Then when you inject, the liquid inside pushes out the bits that have been caught on/in the tip which go into the bag and contaminate things. Of course this is speculation, I'm not sure on the actual action but when we ask growers who have contamination with our bags, 9 out of 10 of them have wiped the needle with something before inoculating.
Not recommended, since you're adding something that isn't sterile to something that is sterile. Just like there's some contaminants that can survive alcohol, there are some that can survive peroxide, so it's best to just uncap your needles and use them straight away. As with a lot of things in life, they're fine until they're not. That's when the problems come up.
What do you do if the mycelium starts to colonize upward into the soil when only one third of the grain is colonized? What happens is you get a ball of colonized unmixed grain/soil that takes hold then that pushes upward then your left with a bag at the bottom of uncolonized grain and the soil starts to drop downward and mixes with the uncolonized grain so it is very uneven and what if you end up with a portion of grain that will not colonize? Will this start to break down into bacillus? If this happens can you open the bag and take out the ball of the good colonized substrate and transfer to a separate tray into a separate chamber, let that colonize more then introduce fruiting? Not sure what to do with the other half that would remain in the bag... try to let that sit and hope it colonizes? If there were two ports on opposite sides of the bag would this stop this from happening? Maybe the grain would colonize well this way and evenly then all you have to do is mix the soil w/ grain and make an even substrate.
You can let the mycelium go where it wants, it's not an issue. Once at least 50% of the bag is colonized, be it grain or substrate, you would mix your bag, which will then be able to fully colonize from there. Life does not break down into other life forms, bacillus would need to be introduced to the bag to be present, so as long as contamination was not introduced, it will not form. Just let nature do its thing, and once enough is colonized, mix thoroughly, then wait for the full colonization to complete.
I have one of your all in one bags, i got LC from SporesMD, i inoculated your bag exactly one week ago and i already have half the bottom of the bag covered in beautiful white mycelium. Youre grain mixture is great. I have one other all in one bag from another company and it is lagging behind significantly, and i inoculated it the day before yalls bag. Ill update further down the road
That's great to hear! Strong genetics make a huge difference, some varieties do just grow slower than others too so that's why it's important to try out some other varieties as you're growing :)
@mattb6646 what was your temperature when setting the bag aside to colonize after inoculation? I have a heat pad set next to the box that I have the all n 1 sitting in, not in the box or touching the box and temp averages 74⁰-77⁰... my mycelium seems very slow, so I'm wondering what temp your at? I wonder if my spores are not good quality. My syringe seemed like almost nothing inside, compared to examples I have seen.
@@Engineer_GM_Ford_Chrysler I have a smaller heater set at 75deg in my dark closet, so about the same as yours. The all in one bags seem to colonize a bit slower than all grain bags, I have one of those too. And if you use spores instead of liquid culture it also takes longer, maybe like a week before you start to see mycelium growth. And different strains also colonize at different rates. But typically you should see it mostly colonized with 30 days, if you don't there's a good chance there's some kind of contamination in the bag or it's too wet, even if you can't visibly see contamination. If it's been colonizing for over 30 days and you don't see good mycelium growth I would suggest trying to mix the grain around a bit and see what happens
Yes, for the initial colonization folding the bag over prevents moisture from leaving the bag while waiting for everything to colonize. Once fully colonized, we recommend raising the bag up to allow mushrooms to form in the top open section.
I got your bags and a couple of them where 50 but there were 2 bags that I did that were only like 20 to 30 will I have any problems with letting it recolonise?
Not really, natural light (indirect) can have the same effect. You're basically just trying to mimic the light in the fall with the 12/12. It's not a requirement for some varieties, but it does help with initiating fruiting for most!
I started mixing up my all in one bag a bit early I think. I noticed on the injection site the mycelium grew about 2.5" diameter, but the grain all around looked lightly fuzzy and a little bit of white individual grains (on the grain itself) on the opposite side of bag. I went to break up the bag and it did not feel hard, but it was fuzzy 90% of the grain side of things. I went ahead and mixed it up and squeezed the bag down gently to squeeze the air out and created a block and wrapped it back up to put back in my cardboard box. I use a small heat mat for terrarium retile tanks set near the box (not touching) and the temperature reads roughly 74⁰-77⁰ degrees inside a cabinet. Would this still survive? The smaller 2.5" solid white portion at the innoc site was fairly firm but not rock solid going inside the bag, just a solid disc maybe an inch or so deep. I am hoping with almost the whole grain portion being lightly white fuzz and a few white grains would be ok? And How often should I check the bag in the future for mycelium growth? Once a week or twice? And is it OK to expose the bag to the light when checking? Oh, also during the mixing, the bag began to inflate with air through the breath port from turning and squeezing and mixing. I squeezed the air out after finished. The bag is not damaged. Thank you
As with a lot of things in this hobby, only time will tell. We always advice patience, doing things like checking your bag frequently and mixing early can take waiting a few weeks to being a total failure instead. I would look at the bag once a week for growth, but do not handle the bag if you don't need to. Lifting the bag and checking it won't make it grow faster. The air filter does allow air in and out, which is something that will happen naturally during the mixing process.
@BoomingAcres also, I checked once a week at most, I checked 8 days after inco, and then checked another 8 days later and exactly 7 days after that. Could it be that not enough spore material, old spores? My syringe looked almost empty compared to other syringe I have seen. My temp stayed in mid 70's not exceeding 77⁰
Question. So I got a little impatient and mixed the substrate with about 30% colonization (I waited about 5 weeks and the growth seemed to have slowed). Did I mess it up too badly? I made the conditions better and im colonizing again, but I wanted to see if its not going to work now.
With that time frame for growth, your mycelium was probably somewhat weak to begin with, usually full colonization of the grain layer only takes 2-4 weeks max. As long as you're seeing the mycelium recover, you should still get a completed project and harvest :)
But, if you let it cool off in open air....again, that can contaminate the needle right??? What about flame, then wipe with new, sterile alcohol pad???
If you're working in a space with little to no air flow, once you flame sterilize the needle there won't be mold spores or bacteria flying around. It's best practice to not touch things that are sterile with something that might be, so even if using a new alcohol pad it's best not to touch the needle with anything. Some mold spores (namely trichoderma) are not effected by alcohol, so if there's some in the factory environment where the pads are being made, if they're in the packaging they can get onto the needle.
Would a bad syringe or not enough spores cause slow growth also? 3 weeks into it and small mycelium growth compared to others I have seen using your all n one
Yes weak genetic material can definitely cause slow growth. That's why we recommend using our affiliate vendors for genetics. Time should resolve the issue though, 4-6 weeks for grain colonization is not unheard of for grains especially when using less than optimal genetics.
I injected spores about 30 days ago now and have seen zero mycelium growth in the bag now. Is it likely it will eventually colonize? Also could I add a different strain of liquid culture to the bag as to not waste it? (watching through this video, i’ve realized it is near an outside wall which has likely dropped the temp.)
If you inoculated and left your bag for 14 days without touching the bag you should see growth. The biggest reason for failure with these projects is handling the bag too soon after inoculating, causing damage to the early mycelium causing it to stop growing. If nothing is growing in the bag that means it's still sterile and yes, you can still use it for another attempt with the same or another genetic variety.
Absolutely not. Those bag are not going to be able to handle the temperature and will melt, which can either damage your cooker or cause a major accident. Don't do that.
If you're asking about our all in one kits, our gourmet kits do come with the option to include gourmet genetic material, however we do not sell spores of any kind.
i’ve seen recommendations of about 2.5-5 ccs per all in one bag, i haven’t researched grain bags yet but i assume it’s similar for grain bags. My first try isn’t going well either though😭
You can try inoculating with more material, if you only used half a cc per bag that's not enough material in the bags. If you used 5cc per bag though, you should be seeing growth. Check that the bags are somewhere warm and in the dark. Try inoculating with more material and if that doesn't do the trick feel free to reach out via email.
If you have a colonized block that is dry, you can do a 1 hour cold water soak of the block. If you have grain or substrate that has sat and dried out, for grain you would need to get a fresh bag, for substrate when you mix your colonized grain with it, you can mist the substrate with a spray bottle to add some hydration.
Not folding the bag does not guarantee failure, it just lets moisture leave the bag faster than if you do fold it. Depending on how long your project takes, this can cause it to dry out a lot over time.
So my thought process on why in the dark has always been because in nature that's the environment for the mycelium. It's growing either inside of wood, where sunlight won't hit it, in compost, or in manure or soil. It's always inside of something where sun won't hit it, then the fruiting bodies emerge and that's the only time part of the system is exposed to direct sunlight. When you're out in the forest, you can see a log on the ground, no signs of mushrooms or mycelium, then when you peel off some bark you see a network of mycelium growing underneath. Same thought process for this application :)
@@BoomingAcres fair enough. I just know from my experience that cubes grown with light are better than cubes grown in darkness as there's no place in the world where cubensis grow naturally in the absence of light. I do understand your theory on the mycelium being underground, therefore in total darkness
It's been a thought but if people miss that the product is vacuum sealed with the instruction cards inside of it, unable to be read, and looks nothing like the bags in our guides online, the product pictures from where they ordered, and other pictures of mushroom bags online, they're probably not going to notice another thing they'd have to read. It's one of those things where maybe only 1 in 1,000 people don't realize that the product is literally vacuum sealed, so making more waste for those people to just ignore the sticker that says 'open here' is likely not worth it in the long run.
No, we specifically recommend not doing that. Placing your bag directly on a heat mat will quickly dry it out. We recommend if you need to heat your bag to put it in a tote bin or box with a heat mat inside but not resting on it. This will warm the air in the box but not the bag directly, keeping it usable for longer and keeping the moisture inside the bag for the mycelium to utilize.

Can I put a blanket over the all in one bag once I inject the LC or spores? Which do you recommend is better? Spores or LC, thank you!
You can if you want to. Spores have more genetic variance, LC is slightly faster. They both have their pros and cons.

Like 50%
Mixing early will slow the recovery speed of the bag, but it should still finish out if you give it time.
If you inoculate 2 bags with the same liquid culture can you mix the 2 into 1 large monotub ? With everything being healthy and hardy is my question
Yes as long as they're the same variety that's totally fine :)
Do I gotta put them outside or can I just leave it in my closet?
In your closet is fine, somewhere dark and warm is what you're aiming for.
Is there an alternative for the 12 on and 12 off?
Not really, natural light (indirect) can have the same effect. You're basically just trying to mimic the light in the fall with the 12/12. It's not a requirement for some varieties, but it does help with initiating fruiting for most!

mates one can use ordinary ziplog bags in pressure cooker, right?
Absolutely not. Those bag are not going to be able to handle the temperature and will melt, which can either damage your cooker or cause a major accident. Don't do that.
How much do these bags usually yield?
Our 5lb All In Ones typically produce 3-4 ounces of dry material.
If I order this does it come with the spores
If you're asking about our all in one kits, our gourmet kits do come with the option to include gourmet genetic material, however we do not sell spores of any kind.
When I inoculated my bags, I left them folded up. I didn’t spread the bag open like you did. Does that matter?
We recommend following the directions we provide, if you made a small difference like that you can do what we show and you'll have better results :)
I inoculated 8 grain bags.5 cc in each and it’s been 1 month and I see no results except for 1 bag ,how is this possible
i’ve seen recommendations of about 2.5-5 ccs per all in one bag, i haven’t researched grain bags yet but i assume it’s similar for grain bags. My first try isn’t going well either though😭
You can try inoculating with more material, if you only used half a cc per bag that's not enough material in the bags. If you used 5cc per bag though, you should be seeing growth. Check that the bags are somewhere warm and in the dark. Try inoculating with more material and if that doesn't do the trick feel free to reach out via email.

Does the 5lb all in one come with the syringe ?
No, we do not include genetic material with our products unless a gourmet liquid culture is purchased separately.
What if i didnt fold it? It looks good but i hope i didnt mess it up its my first time
Not folding the bag does not guarantee failure, it just lets moisture leave the bag faster than if you do fold it. Depending on how long your project takes, this can cause it to dry out a lot over time.

Hey, just thought I'd let you guys know that my grain bags did BEAUTIFULLY AND I WILL BE COMING BACK FOR MORE AND TO TRY OUT YOUR ALL IN ONE BAGS THNX
Where can I get a bag 🎒

Can I wipe the needle with fire?
You can sterilize the needle with fire, people often heat until red hot with a torch. That is the safest way.
Heat the needle to red hot but do NOT wipe you needle, do NOT touch the needle with anything.
Why colonize in the dark? Do you have some sort of fact surrounding that or are you just repeating what someone else said?

It's one of those things where maybe only 1 in 1,000 people don't realize that the product is literally vacuum sealed, so making more waste for those people to just ignore the sticker that says 'open here' is likely not worth it in the long run.
Can i put it on heating mat
No, we specifically recommend not doing that. Placing your bag directly on a heat mat will quickly dry it out. We recommend if you need to heat your bag to put it in a tote bin or box with a heat mat inside but not resting on it. This will warm the air in the box but not the bag directly, keeping it usable for longer and keeping the moisture inside the bag for the mycelium to utilize.
