How To Spot Bacteria In Your Grain Jars
มุมมอง 15Kปีที่แล้ว
Your jars may look and smell like they're good to go but may not be. Wild Bird Seed can harbor bacteria that is able to survive the sterilization process in your P.C. and that infection can cause a minimal amount of flushes, low yields from those flushes, small and/or low potency fruits and deformed and extremely mutated fruits. Here's what to look for.

SUPER FAST!! Liquid Culture Test. No Agar!
มุมมอง 11K2 ปีที่แล้ว
What's up y'all? Thanks for tuning in. I came up with a new, super easy way to get instant (nearly) results when testing the viability of you're L.C. This vid is for beginners out there that haven't started messing around with agar plates yet.
Interesting. I have, and often do, s2b jsrs, bags thst look much worse. You woukdnt pitch em would you??? Mycellium is reLlllly strong. Id definitely role the dice on yhem all.
Yeah, dice roll is a good way to put it. Most jars it's jars it's super obvious you should chuck it out but it takes a little while to train your eye to spot the ones that maybe aren't so obvious. If you do spawn them and your tubs get patches of green mold before it's fully colonized or pinning then it's very likely that that spawn had a little something funky in it. Happy Growing Amigo!!😁
I’m getting major pseudo intellectual Reddit atheist vibes from this. Just because something lacks scientific evidence does not invalidate it. Yes I agree there is a problem with spiritual people who claims their beliefs are scientific (I.e the woman in the video). But truth be told science has limits and there is so many things we do not know and cannot be studied scientifically, so saying things like “souls, spirits, auras, life after death doesn’t exist” just shows you have surface level understanding of science, just like the people you criticize. Not saying you have to believe those things but you can’t make claims with 100% certainty if it cannot be backed up. Again, there is a lot of shit we do not 100% know so when spiritual people come up with their own explanations about things like what is reality, consciousness, existence, souls, higher dimensions, etc, it shouldn’t be a problem as long as they don’t claim what they say is scientific and 100% true.
Hello thanks so much for dropping by. Yes, I can't say with a 100% certainty cuz that's not how science works but there's not a single shred of evidence that chakras, auras or life after death actually exists. Hitchens Razor states "that which can be presented without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence" so until the day that evidence and data comes in there's no reason to give it any real consideration whatsoever. In my experience the people that say "well science can't explain everything" usually hold beliefs they know science would deem to be bullshit.
Well I mean the mainstream science does pretty much just dismiss anything non-material (gods, souls, etc) as bullshit. True spirituality really has little to nothing to do with being scientific, it is philosophical actually. Yea there’s some people who make bullshit claims about their beliefs having scientific proof but they do not represent spirituality as a whole. Also adding onto my point of lack of evidence ≠ invalid, lack of the right technology is something that prevents scientific studies of things. Half the shit we know now was not possible to measure centuries ago. Even today there’s things about the universe we can’t measure, like Dark Matter for example. Now i’m not saying all this to invalidate your materialistic beliefs, but it’s just something to keep in mind. Bottom line is everything is a huge fucking mystery and until we get hard evidence, people are welcome to have any type of beliefs and they should be respected as long as they aren’t being harmful about it like forcing their beliefs on others, making false claims with 100% certainty, etc. This applies to everyone: Atheists, Theists, religious people, spiritualists, etc.

Love it.
40 minutes on high heat after 24 hrs soak?
Yeah something like that. Lately I've been using popcorn and it needs to soak for 48 hours and simmer for 80 minutes so it depends on the grains you're using. After a few batches you'll developed a keen eye for when your grains are done simmering.
@RickL555 thanks for the reply! What do you think about using deer corn? I have about 100lbs currently I'm using in my deer feeder but I'm thinking I could try to wash and sterilize it then inoculate. I haven't seen anyone on TH-cam try it yet and trust me I looked.
@@cbarbski I haven't tried deer corn yet but have heard other people say it works great. Lately I've been getting the 50lb bags of Magic Mushroom Popcorn kernels for about $35 bucks. should be able to find it at your local restaurant supply store.
@RickL555 thanks again for the advice! Should I do something similar to sterilize and soften the corn with simmering for however long? What suggestions you got for the larger and harder corn grains that usually come in deer corn! You're awesome by the way for responding TY
@@cbarbski Thanks man, stoked I can help out. I can't really say with any certainty because I've never used deer corn before but try a couple batches and just check in on it periodically to make sure you don't over simmer the crap out of it so much that it turns to mush. Keep a note pad handy to write down any relevant notes to reference as you go. Happy growing Amigo!!😁 Reply

8 days!? 😯 At 25 days I still barely have any white showing 😳
That's a long time. Sounds like maybe you grains are too dry. That can make colonization drag on forever. Good luck
@@RickL555 makes sense thank you for that information 👊🏼 I’m gonna let them keep going I have time and I’m gonna make some more jars soon so I’m not stressing.
@@chaseTheCase9 Yup, my WBS vid has a cool trick for getting all your grains the same consistency. Been working great for years now. Good luck amigo! Happy growing
@@RickL555 thanks bro! I appreciate you!
Brother, that is not high temp plastic. How do you know that you’re not intruding carcinogenic compounds to your sub by heating up this oil product to 150 degrees? I would never due this due to the fact that these people used hydro carbon based dyes that in their plastics that have been shown to be carcinogenic. Those totes are made for this brother, you should use glass or metal.
Good thinking man!!
so just drown it in home made LC. I've been having a lot of trouble at the colonization part. I had some popcorn a while back colonize but everything since has been a dud. Switched to rye and WBS with no luck. THink I'll try making LC out of syringe so I'm not scared to use it hehe. :)
Right on amigo . Good luck and happy growing!
Are you drying your grains before sterilizing them. The can stall and get slime molds if they're too wet. Also over shaking or shaking them too early (if you're doing the 30%) can cause stalls. That's why I love with this tek. Least amount of steps and
Ya drying em.i did the paper towel thing but i wonder if it's too dry. Some of the no soak no simmer recipes seem to look wetter than when i put in the jars. Also ya i mess with it too much with the shaking. Yikes it going to be tough for me to leave it alone lol. I also put them in a box with a pad on the side. I wonder if that causes CO2 and stuff@@RickL555
Too dry takes a little longer but is way better than too wet. Check out my WBS vid to learn how to dry every batch consistently. I learned a lot of patience from home mycology but used to obsess over it when I was a beginner. @@Kevfactor
Haha no shit. I used to run to my closet with a flashlight to check the mycelium every half hour. Now I just let it do it's thing.
great idea , ive been using around 2 mls dropped on the sides onf the jars 4 diff places. when mycelium starts to grow it forms lines from the top down and a ring at the bottom of the jars, looks cool, and fast, i will try your method and see how it goes
Ok, please do. Thanks for dropping by.
Did I miss something or did you mention your temperatures??
Anything higher than 82 degrees can make it a better environment to contamination to grow . I'm not sure if it's true but I also read that it can be a couple degrees warmer inside the jar than the incubation area itself so I keep it around 78 to be safe. It's been working fine. Happy growing amigo!!😀
All u had do is probably choke the air going in.
Yeah I tried that and the motor started making a noise like it was fighting to stay alive. Electric motors burn out quick if you horse whip them like that.😁 Thank you, though!
I just go with the old still airbox. I do the wet towel as the bottom of it - wet with bleach water , wear my rain jacket and spray myself down with alcohol, and then put my gloves on and spray those down to. Beard mask, hairnet, after a shower with Dial gold bar. That’s how I do mycology ❤
Yeah it's pretty amazing how much awesome mycology can be accomplished with a simple SAB. Good to hear from you!😀
That's freakin' brilliant btw
When you're using so much LC that you get pooling, especially in a medium like WBS, you can also add a tablespoon or two of BRF powder to the jars before you PC them. That will even out the moisture, keep things drier, and still provide a food source to the mycelium. To be honest, the times I played around with adding some BRF (also when I used WBS, so it has been some years), I swear it would colonize even faster. I think having tiny grains of food to much on coating the larger grains, each of those BRF grains now also hosting living mycelium, seems to make it even quicker.
Awesome thanks. Good to know I will definitely keep that in mind. Happy growing!
Let the bird seed soak 12 to 24 hours to germinate the bacterial endospores in the seeds. When the bacteria is encased in the endospore it can withstand 15 psi and 250 degrees. Used to have bacteria problems before I started soaking,
Thank you!!
I would never shake a jar that was just inoculated, unless u love waiting twice as long for colonization. I've done it. It was awful.
He used liquid culture, when using spores the spores need to grow into hyphae and then combine to form mycelium In a liquid culture the hyphae are already clumped together and so shaking it spreads the amount of inoculation points I might be wrong tho idk I never grew mushrooms but that's my understanding anyway
In my experience added in a extra 2 cc or 3cc increase my colonize chance by alot. The growth is so much faster when I add in say 5cc of liquid culture then say 2ml into my grain jars. Make sure the jars stay in a warm area of the house and those jars will be done within 2-3weeks on average. Depending on what size jars you use you could get full growth within a week if done correctly. Cheers and mush love y'all. Happy cultivating!
Right on, thank you!
Hi, I have two questions: Do you shake the jars during colonization? One more question, do you think coconut fiber is a good food source for the fungi!? Thanks in advance ❤️
No shaking. It's an extra step that I started skipping a couple of years ago. It can increase the chances of your jar stalling out and sometimes the mycelium gets weakened a little and grows slower. Maybe if I were still using spore syringes I might but a good, healthy LC grows so fast the shake step was not needed. Thanks for dropping by!😃
Yup, coco is the best un less you're growing a wood or a dung lover look up the Philly Teacher CVG vid. That's what got me started. Happy growing amigo!!
@@RickL555 hi mate, before I read your reply I had already shaken the jars! There is 30 percent colonization, I noticed that there was a small area left at the bottom that was stuck and did not want to crumble. I also feel that the beans look a little dry! The temperature is 27-30 degrees Celsius. I have a feeling that I'm doing something wrong, I'm asking for help and advice.
You're probably fine but keep an eye out for contamination. Give it a few days. If there's no visible mold and if it's not all slimly you should be good to go. Just don't re-shake them another time. It's hard when you a beginner because it could be a couple of weeks before you'll know if you screwed up or not. It can be stressful at times. Check out the Shroomery message boards. Lots of good info there too. Good luck!!@@plamenconev3387
@@RickL555 Is 27-30 degrees Celsius good for colonization? Maybe that will dry out the grain!

Rick, this is excellent work. New Age bullshit and conspiracy theories lead tons of people down endless rabbit holes. My only complaint is that you have taken a few seconds of Dennis McKenna and Stan Grof and used their comments to criticize these worthy men despite their years of productive service in the psychedelic movement. I appreciate what you do with these animated shorts, your choice of graphics, and the steady narration you provide. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! Duly noted. I appreciate your feedback amigo!
I tend to lean a little less negative. For instance...I do believe the world has gotten much much much better for the average individual human life than in the past. Somehow you are able to pull an idea from somewhere, use some creativity and super skills to whip up a video that I can now consume, contemplate, ruminate on and ultimately continue to design and construct my bubble piece...by...piece. I find that magical and I realize I'm just as much a lunatic as everyone else.
Thank you so much for watching and you're right I definitely lean towards pessimism. I do see the positive changes in the world but those causes are all being championed by the folks stuck at the bottom. I think the point I was getting at is the worlds big problems are being both caused and ignored by the people at the top. As an example labor rights have been eroded but occasionally there's a victory like the Starbucks employee's unionizing. But for every story like that you hear 10 more about some 14 year old kid being unlawfully horse whipped and dying in the machinery at a poultry plant. Or wild life sanctuaries being opened up for drilling. Those problems start at the top. Thank you so much!!!
Nice Job!!!

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm extremely fortunate that my sister works at a hospital and so she has access to the gear I use. You can repurpose the barrel from spore syringes that you order (or just order some the same size). The needle part is an18 gauge (try not to go any smaller that that if you can) and it's 3 1/2 inches long. Also needle sizes get smaller as the number goes up. 22 is way smaller than 18 as an example so make sure the one you get is in the 16-18 gauge range. I hope that helps. Good luck amigo!
