NORBY has a go at MYCOLOGY

[NORBY]

Hello yea i feel up to the challange again got me head sorted ready to get the grow going

Excellent mate, good to hear,

 

[NORBY]

It won't be long until I mix this 1kg bag of Mycelium Rye spawn​

With 2kg of Coir/Vermiculite/Gypsum substrate.​

So I will need to modify my Monotub soon and remove the bin liners off the outside & tape up the outside of the box just slightly above were the level of the mixed substrate will be.​

Drill holes along the the same area and cover with micropose tape.​

Drill more holes at the top and cover with tape too, or maybe use filter disc's for the top holes.​

It's not like your average monotub tho, It's one of those tall tub/bins cos I lack space in the Den and also the 2kg bag that will soon be 3kg should fit neatly into the tub for the next stage.​

​

The idea is to mix the 2 bags together in a Sterile environment as Sterile-ly as possible and then seal up the mixed bag and put it in the tub again until the mixed bag turns white with mycelium, kinda like the Rye bag is atm​

Then open up the bag to increase airflow and add a light bulb into the lid.​

Then watch and wait, and adjust the climate if necessary, (mist & fan)​

Hopefully that's it lol​

​

& Hopefully by the end of this adventure I will hear colours & see noises​

Now that the mycelium has reached over 40% Iv decided to give the bag a shake and a shuffle to break up any large clumps so it can mix evenly with the patches that have not colonized yet.​

As you can see from the Pic below, there is a stripe on the back and front of the bag that's uncolonised, so a shake was definitely in order.

SHAKE THAT​

Gave the bag a shuffle & shake on Tuesday to mix the mycelium up with the uncolonised patches​

Spreading out well again since then.​

Got my supply's in order for the next stage & would say I'm not far off now.​

I'm thinking when the time comes to mixing the the bags, That I carefully remove some C. V. G first and then leave some colonized grain in it's bag and mix the removed cvg into the grain bag so I've got 2 bags then.​

Makes sense, but could be a contamination risk.

​

The Grain Spawn Bag is nearly @ the full Colonisation point now.​

So not much longer now until I mix the bags up​

If you were me, when would you mix the spawn with the CVG?

You've been ready

I've got a new plan.
As I've got no plants going atm in the DEN and I'm still waiting on soil arriving, I'm gona complete the next stages in thier.
I only intend to grow 6 plants this time round so will have space for a monotub at one side below the extraction fan. Im going down to do a good clean up now and I will decide then if that's the way to go, lol heads fried thing about it

Just thinking that the light schedule would be a problem unless 20/4 would do ok
