    You can Inflate the bag with air from your flow hood before sealing so you can shake it easily

      Won't more air increase the risk of drying out the mycelium?

    Are you using a wax stamp seal for your injection oort ? I'm looking for cheaper bag oprions, but most of the cheap ones only come with micron filters and no injection ports. Cheapest deal I found was $10 for 10 which included both. Any info would be helpful. I've thoght about using a simple wax stamp seal in the past, this has me even more interested. 😊

      What I am using is red RTV silicone as a homemade self healing injection port. It works great!

    Why do you squeeze all the air out of the bag after shaking?

    • @SporenSprout
      @SporenSprout  2 місяці тому

      Doesn’t really matter, just so mushrooms don’t start growing on top of the grain before spawning to bulk.

      @@SporenSprout It kinda looks like they're a little beyond shaking, the veins are present but some of the bottom hasn't colonized yet.
      At this point light would start pinning the jars before I would slide them out.... correct?
      The other thing, I have the jars in a floating tote, the temperature is a steady 72°
      It looks like there is plenty of moisture in the jars.
      I had to discard one jar, as there was green.
      I'm concerned with the other jars having too much moisture, should I remove them from the floating tote?
