    When drilling into thin plastic, it's best to run the drill backwards. This avoids the plastic cracking and splitting on the drill's teeth, instead using friction heat to melt through where contact is made.

    I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

      @SilverFrogStudios ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think you probably could grow anything in buckets at this inoculation ratio. It's basically taking a grow mix type ratio (40/60) and separating out it's high and low nutrient parts, and colonizing the high nutrient in sterile conditions, and then you don't need to bother with sanitation for the low nutrient part. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be too much of a yield penalty here.
      It would be interesting to see masters mix separated out this way, colonize the soy hulls under sterile tech, then dump it in a bucket of sawdust.

    2) Sadly no you unfortunately can't add more pellets to keep it going :(

    Very interesting substrate, i noticed its very common to use hardwood fuel pellets and wheat bran mixed together, but this video proves hardwood fuel pellets can be used by itself as well. Going to try your way, but im going to add one cup of wheat bran just for more nutrients. Hopefully that does not mess up the moisture content. Thank you for the video!

    • @folkfungi
      @folkfungi  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Let me know how it goes! Adding wheat bran without sterilization increases the chance for contamination. If your substrate becomes contaminated, try half a cup or less. But if you use a really high spawn rate, like the one used in this video, I think you can get away with using a decent amount of unsterilized wheat bran.

    • @18Hands

    @Michagoose2003 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I recently started growing lion's mane at home for the first time, and I'm curious about a couple of things. I inoculated three jars with liquid culture in whole oats, and let the mycelium colonize the jars before splitting the grain spawn up between two buckets. I was a little concerned when I emptied the jars into the hard wood pellets I used, as the middle of the jars didn't seem to be as well colonized as the outsides. There was some really nice, thick mycelium on the outer edge of the jars, but the middle of all three jars was pretty sparse. I'd always read that you didn't want uncolonized grains in your bulk substrate, but rewatching your video it looks like the spawn you used wasn't anywhere near as colonized as mine was. Is it normal when using jars to not have the entire thing colonized like mine? Because it looks like yours worked out fine.
    Also, I followed the formula for how much water to use in your hard wood pellets, but it seemed like mine came out dry. I'm somewhat familiar with the term "field capacity", and my pellets didn't seem to have any excess water to squeeze out like I expected. I went ahead and pushed forward with it all anyway, but I'm worried that my hard wood pellets may not have enough water in them. Does the pellets/water ratio that you use naturally give a slightly drier substrate?

      This was my first experiment with a lion's mane bucket, and my thinking was that, since the bucket weighs about two 4-pound grow bags, that two holes might be a good option. I've recently created a new lion's mane bucket with just one hole, and it works just as good, if not better. One advantage of having just one hole is that the substrate won't dry out as fast.

    Have you grown oysters on these pellets as well? Curious how that substrate would work. Also, what is the volume expansion for the fuel pellets? Trying to figure out how many pellets would be required to fill a 5 gallon bucket.

    • @folkfungi
      @folkfungi  ปีที่แล้ว

      This method works great with oyster methods. Just make sure to cut a series of small houses (1/4 inch) instead of two big ones. To translate this recipe from a 2 gallon bucket to a 5 gallon bucket, increase the water and hardwood fuel pellets by 150%.

      I'm shocked that you could get a 2nd and 3rd flush from same exact holes?
      The instructions that came with my fruiting block (in a unicorn bag) stated to tape the hole after first harvest is pulled, and then cut slots/ holes in different areas of the block for the next flushes...?

  • @stratocaster1134
    @stratocaster1134 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for the video. A couple of questions, how many flushes would you usually get? And is there a disadvantage of not sterilising the substrate, e.g would it produce for flushes if it was sterilised?

    • @folkfungi
      @folkfungi  ปีที่แล้ว +10

      You can get anywhere from 2 to 5 flushes! After the first flush, the following flushes will yield less as nutrients in the substrate become gradually depleted. The disadvantage of not sterilizing is that you increase contamination risk. However, by using a high spawn rate, it greatly reduces contamination risk. I've never experienced contamination with this method.

    • @stratocaster1134
      @stratocaster1134 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@folkfungi Thanks for the info! Would you say that it would produce a similar yield to the standard grow bag?

    • @folkfungi
      @folkfungi  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@stratocaster1134 In total, the substrate weighs about 9 pounds, which is the size of two medium grow bags.
      In terms of yield, it's hard to make an exact comparison to grow bags because the preparation is a bit different. With the bucket, there's no supplementation (like wheat bran) added, which is typical for a grow bag. Not adding wheat bran makes it possible to skip sterilization, but, if you were to add wheat bran and sterilize, which is how grow bags are typically prepared, the yield would increase.
      At the same time, the bucket method I've outlined in the video calls for a grain spawn rate that is much higher than what you'd expect in a grow bag (40% instead of 10% to 15%), and more grain = more nutrition = higher yield.
      Ultimately, you'll likely get a higher yield by creating a 9-pound supplemented grow bag than you would with a 9-pound bucket with a high spawn rate, but the magic of the bucket method is that you don't need a pressure cooker or any other expensive equipment. Just a bucket and someone to buy grain spawn from!

    Nice informative video.
    I got one of the boxed already colonized substrate bags. Just cut a hole and you are ready to go. My concern is the humidity dome. It’s a flimsy plastic bag with holes and it collapses on top of the substrate block. Now that a tiny fruiting body showed up I’m worried the bag will sit on it (stick to it) and ruin the mushroom. This especially will get more problematic when the mushroom grows bigger. Is there a reason for concern or not. Should I eventually remove the tent or keep it on throughout the entire growing process?

    • @folkfungi

  • @TheOblivionAndMinecr
    @TheOblivionAndMinecr ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi, I know from your video that pellets are partialy sterilized, but, how to get additional purity to them, without pressure cooker, or proper sterilization? Can you bath them with hydrated calcium? Or pellets on their own, even after opening a bag with them few times, keep purity?

    • @NoThanks-ju1tm
      @NoThanks-ju1tm ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's a difference between sterilization and pasteurization. When the pellets are made, they use steam and pressure which makes them sterilized . The reason its PARTIALLY is because you dont know what else its been exposed to sitting on the shelf or in transit. It will be a disaster if you soak them in hydrated lime as this is more suited for straw. Anyway, I think there are a ton of videos on how to do these methods online. If you mean PURITY by sterilization, then you will need to pressure cook any of the material for 2hrs at 15psi.
      Your option to keep them sterilized would be to get mushroom growbags that have a filter patch. Make bulk substrate and put it into the bag. Seal the bag and sterilize in the pressure cooker. The substrate blocks that will be what you end up with will stay good for quite a while if they stay sealed. There really isnt a need to do this method though unless you are growing on a larger scale.

      At that point, the substrate doesn't need to sit any longer and is ready to go. I just closed the lid because when I'm not actively doing something with the substrate, I like to keep the lid closed to reduce contamination risk. In theory, you could start filling the bucket up right after mixing the grain spawn in without closing the lid again. Hope this helps!
