After watching your videos for the past month I have successfully created my own: SAB Spore syringes (totally sterile) Agar plates done with your solo cup idea Growing spores on agar (totally sterile) Isolating my first genetics Successfully developed my own unique recipe of grain I have a shelf full of about 30 jars with mycelium running like Bolt Spawned three shoebox tubs and it all looks great. Thank you sensei, I really appreciate you taking the time to collect all this information and show us, step by step, how easy it is. Once I have extra funds I’m going to support the Patreon. 🍄💛
One main critique: Do ALL your shaking OUTSIDE of the box. Get your primary spawn jar broken up then place into box. Once you add the spawn to the next jars, just tighten the lid and set aside. As always, keep movement to a minimum inside the SAB. Once you have done all the jars, pull them from the SAB and spread that spawn. One thing I love about starting this hobby is there are hundreds of way to go about things. I am always learning and trying to dial in my own tek. Thanks again for another great video!
i’ve never had so much fun learning something. your videos make the flood of various contradictory information seem very much more digestible considering i have this baseline to refer to, giving me the confidence to start and learn more as i continue this journey. Thank you!
That's because technically it was only 20% colonized if that. A fully colonized jar of grain cannot be shaken loose, you have to go at it with a spoon (sterile) and work at scooping it out. If you can shake it loose and see grain, it's not ready yet for G2G and certainly not ready for spawn to bulk.
Is there a way to extend the shelf life of a “donator” jar of inoculated grain? Such as in a way where this donor material can sit for months and be used from time to time without the mycelium expiring from lack of nutrition. Can this be achieved by a fridge? Or adding food from time to time? Thanks for any thoughts on this
Hey bro great channel, thank you for all great videos! I have one question, i noticed that you don't have any holes on the lids, doesn't need air exchange?
iv found its worth adding a few layers of 1-3mm vermiculite in LC grain jars if you dont shake during colonization you end up with so many tiny inoculation points when you use it for g2g.
Awesome this was actually a great lesson. I learned a lot from you and this is my second day of leaving my bulk substrate and spawn in a monotub to give me mushrooms. Thanks
Why many times when you are working in air still box you put your jars on this unstable metal crate? Is there some special reason for those crates? I'm anxious when watching that :D
I have UB bag that has colonized grain on top that I want to use for g2g. assuming i use a SAB and sanitize properly - can I transfer uncolonized rice from a freshly opened UB bag to a grain jar with GE lid and spawn from jar instead of using the manufacturers bag?
I didn’t take any grain from my jars before transferring to bulk would I be able to use mycelium from the tub for a transfer to grain jars or should I just take mycelium from the fruits after harvest?
@@spewdog Nah it's just because it's so fluffy, like cotton candy. A thick fully colonized agar plate will become just a piece of material around the size of a grain of rice or smaller on your finger if you swipe your finger around the whole thing. But it leaves small amounts of mycelium everywhere it already was before the shake and after it had already eaten from the grain so it regenerates easier.
Because it's not actually fully colonized ;). A fully colonized jar of grain cannot be shaken loose, you have to go at it with a spoon (sterile) and work at scooping it out. If you can shake it loose and see grain, it's not ready yet for G2G and certainly not ready for spawn to bulk.
@@VladTheImpalerTepesIII That's not true though. Mycelium grows outward every direction if it isn't on a 2d surface like agar. If the jar looks fully colonized from the outside of the jar, it's good on the inside too, for a transfer at least. A jar doesn't need to be consolidated so long that it refuses to break up, to be considered fully colonized. Neither me or anyone I know, including professional growers, let it get to that point before G2G. Although I do let them sit a few days or so after fully colonizing, to consolidate, before spawning. There's a difference between the two. Colonize just means when it's covered the grain, consolidate is when it has more time to digest it, and it gets thicker during this time. Also pouring grain for G2G is better than a spoon, so shaking it is something you should be able to do. But if you're not waiting a while for your jars to consolidate like that, and they're still hard to break up, it could be a sign of bacteria, which normally will still fruit, but not to it's potential.
Thanks for the content PGT! Always look forward to a new video from the sensei! Damn look at that patreon list grow man! Come a long way since what 2 or 4 names on that jawn. Keep on keepin on brother!
Hey PGT, have you had any increase in contam rates with those unmodded lids? How do you take them out of PC - Do you wait for them to cool before opening PC so contamned air can't get sucked in before you screw the top? I made some screw top no pours and was stunned when they triched out in the few minutes they were a quarter turn loose when I pulled from PC.
2 options: plastic box with 2 glove holes (cheap option with low space) or flow hood with H14 filter. You can try your luck soon after shower in a toilet without carpets that u just sanitized like a OCD mom spraying alcohol on all the walls with all the windows and doors of the house closed using a mouth mask. Out of those 3 options its just too risky to get contaminations.. Like.. Those spores are literally EVERYWHERE.
Maybe. Fruiting mushrooms are the mycelium's response to using up all of the nutrients aka imminent death. Fruiting is the last hurrah of the mycelium, so it's going to be exhausted and not in the mood at this point.
Can you keep doing grain to grain indefinitely? Thinking of it as sort of like a sourdough starter where you can continuously add to it and multiply it
PGT, Do you have any ideas of how I might maintain the room temperature once my substrate & grain go into my monotubs? My home sits at about 16 degrees Celsius (60F) throughout most of the day and night. Will that negatively affect my growth? Or just slow it down a little?
Great, my friend just did a g2g and its working! Do you count it as a 2nd Generation Mycelium because of its Maturaty. And is it a good way to Isolate a Specific Strain? This is my friends new fav hobby, he said it's quite easy once you know what your doing. Hes on his first bulk grow, thx for knowledge
My question is that I'm about to transfer a Uncle Bens Rice bag to 7 Qt. jars of Oats. My Oats expanded a lot more than I was hoping. Would it be a bad idea to spoon out a couple inches of the oats before I add the rice? I am working in a SAB.
How come ive shaken up 2 jars, 1 has become fully colonised whereas the other has stayed the same even though i shook them at the same time?? its just sat and done nothing in 3 weeks :((
Newbie mushroom grower here. I have played around a bit with those mushroom blocks you buy to grow mushrooms. I was wondering if anyone has experimented with using those blocks after one or two fruitings, as an inoculant for another batch of mushrooms. I was thinking of using a 5 gallon bucket, with holes, of fresh substrate and an old "log" crumbled up for an inoculant. Anyone tried this, and if so, how did it work?
Nice to see yer back at class...i just got told at family meeting after 17 years, hes leaving....us ...4 kids and no income.....well maybe budding business soon...ty for keeping shit normal
if you have a garden may you can grow also difrent plants and sells seeds or small plants over e bay ... syrian rue, intellekt tree , hawaiian baby woodrose but you have to check for legal status first ^^ or just do normal plants out of the super market seeds but it needs time for a plant but you can cut it and grow from cuttings with most and it depends on your klimate ... wish you best luck :)
Truth be told we literally just broke ground on our garden and have our starter seeds ...but kids wanna jet to Missouri...soon as my tubs get me a decent profit...bout a month or two we are out...i was playing with mycelium while i was lock down for covid...more interested in fantastic types of standard mushrooms, hopefully that will pan out. Thanks guys , kids are all teens they are taking it much better than me ...pays to have all girls sometimes
@@samibaby8913 you will be fine Amber, you dont need him anyways, keep your head up girl and good luck to you. If you were in Canada i could probably help you. Goodluck girl you got this. I have 2 teenage girls also girls are strong. Takecare.
So your telling me you can basically just use one jar and cutt new jars with this method? Then youd spawn these fully colonized jars to a monotub with the dub tub method
Does anyone know if you can put grain in the bottom of your bag and your substrate on top. Wondering if an all in one bag would work. Just to basically only have to have a bag open once time to reduce chances of contamination.
This is why I think sealable bags are better than jars for your mycelium growth. It seems to make it alot more convenient to be removed when it's ready
When you are having your grain colonize in jars, do you need to have any air exchange holes with polyfill or filter patches? Or can it stay completely sealed. I know a self seal injection port is good for liquid culture for injections.
You can technically get by without any holes or modifications on the lid but growth may/can stall. I would leave the lids loosened 1/4th turn and flipped upside down if you aren’t using any holes or mods. If you use mods then use the micropore d surgical paper tape or polyfill
If i can ask one more question.. I dont have a pressure cooker with the clock on it with the psi I only have one with two types of cooking And i saw that mine is at a maximum of 1.7 bar.. i saw that it's like 13 psi Can i sterilize grain in a good way with that kind of cooker ? Thank you 😉
Hi, I'm wondering about this unmodified lid grain jars. There is no air exchange, doesn't that slow the colonization a lot? I had very slow growth when I don't have a good air exchange. What is your experience?
It can slow down some extent of growth potentially, but not to a large extent. It sort of depends on your need and wants for preference if you are really aiming towards maximizing production times, but it is not a major difference in most sense.
You said you can go grain to any other sort of grain, what about dirt to grain? Or dirt to dirt? I'm actually unaware if my jars are grain since I ordered them from Midwest Grow Kits. Have 12 jars inoculated but the site doesn't say that it is grain (or anything really). As long as the substrate is sterile, it shouldn't matter? Or am I wrong here...
Its because of you and the rookie mycologist that gave me confidence to grow my own medicine. Youre doing gods work. Keep it up!

Thank you! I wouldn't be able to do this without you and everyones support in this wonderful community. I'm glad you are a part of this journey! 😁
It's crazy how your 90% colonized jar looks so much less colonized after the shake-shake.
That's because technically it was only 20% colonized if that. A fully colonized jar of grain cannot be shaken loose, you have to go at it with a spoon (sterile) and work at scooping it out. If you can shake it loose and see grain, it's not ready yet for G2G and certainly not ready for spawn to bulk.

Hey bro great channel, thank you for all great videos! I have one question, i noticed that you don't have any holes on the lids, doesn't need air exchange?
It's an unmodified method that leaves the lids a quarter turn loose for exchange. It's mentioned in 'The ultimate lid tek guide' video 🙏🍄
@@PhillyGoldenTeacher got it! Thanks for respond! Keep up the great videos!! Greetings from Greece!!
I did bird seed to Rye grain got full Colonisation I a week
Works great turned 3 half pints into 7 quarts for me
awesome! i have exactly 3 half pint jars colonizing and was wondering how far i could stretch them.
iv found its worth adding a few layers of 1-3mm vermiculite in LC grain jars if you dont shake during colonization you end up with so many tiny inoculation points when you use it for g2g.
Another straight to the point video thank you
PGT can you do a class on isolating to monoculture. Having spotty harvest. Genetics suck. Thanks brother
Been there, keep @ it brother
Awesome this was actually a great lesson.
I learned a lot from you and this is my second day of leaving my bulk substrate and spawn in a monotub to give me mushrooms.

Why many times when you are working in air still box you put your jars on this unstable metal crate? Is there some special reason for those crates? I'm anxious when watching that :D
Do you have syringe inoculation video ❤️ from syringes ? What’s are YOUR basics ?
I have UB bag that has colonized grain on top that I want to use for g2g. assuming i use a SAB and sanitize properly - can I transfer uncolonized rice from a freshly opened UB bag to a grain jar with GE lid and spawn from jar instead of using the manufacturers bag?
How long can I store a grain spawn jar in a dark closet space? What are the options for a longer term storage ? A few months? Any ody have an idea?
Definitely gonna try this for my next inoculation ! Thanks for the info!
I didn’t take any grain from my jars before transferring to bulk would I be able to use mycelium from the tub for a transfer to grain jars or should I just take mycelium from the fruits after harvest?
Im going to send my support when everything comes to fruition. Love your videos man very well put together
1:47 god damn that was a smooth transition
Literally had me thinking he pulled another jar from the side lolol
Why do fully colonized jars look so uncolonized when you break it up?
Mycelium is microscopic :D
I think the mycellium bruises and changes color when it is broken up and turns white again after a few days. Maybe PhillyGoldenTeacher can elaborate
@@spewdog Nah it's just because it's so fluffy, like cotton candy.

Can i inoculate grain from already fruiting grow kit?
Excellent work! I'm a recent subscriber, and I'm fascinated with mycology. Thanks for giving us this information!
Froggo doggo? More like Froggo Druggo 💪🏻😎🍄
Can this create an endless supply of mycelium? Once the 2nd one is fully developed spread that into new jars. Or will the process stop at some point?
Are your lids modified?

why don't you place cotton plug for the mycelium to breath ? is it not needed ?

Can I colonize grain with substrate from my fruiting chamber?
Hadn't thought of this, interested in hearing the answer
yess im also wondering this
Maybe. Fruiting mushrooms are the mycelium's response to using up all of the nutrients aka imminent death. Fruiting is the last hurrah of the mycelium, so it's going to be exhausted and not in the mood at this point.
Yeah..but after cleaning it on agar.
Could i also use the content of my fruiting cake to colonize a new jar?
Should the jars be totaly sealed or should they be little bit open? I forgot to drill holes in my. Thanks for answer
Can you keep doing grain to grain indefinitely? Thinking of it as sort of like a sourdough starter where you can continuously add to it and multiply it
Technically you can but it makes sense to start from time to time from agar to makes sure that your culture is not contaminated.
No air exchange for colonozation? I see no holes in the new jara
With the plastic lids, do you not need an air exchange hole?
Sometimes they're not fully airtight so they allow some gas exchange. If they are airtight, just turn the lid a quarter turn
What’s the next step once the jars are fully white..?
Does it have to be done in ten parts? Could it be less, for example 4 jars?
love a good surprise video!!
Wow this gives me so much to think about!
😁 Learning is fun
What if your grain is fully colonised and the myc is to strong to break and shake, how would you do G2G then?
PGT,
Do you have any ideas of how I might maintain the room temperature once my substrate & grain go into my monotubs?
My home sits at about 16 degrees Celsius (60F) throughout most of the day and night.
Will that negatively affect my growth? Or just slow it down a little?
I had mine abort in the cold. I just got a lil heater from walmart :)
Your grain jars are closed up tight while colonizing, correct?
Sir PGT 👍🍄
no gas exchange ports...? arent they necessary....?

Hey !!
Thank you for your videos !
I have a question 😊
Your lids don't have any holes ?
You are not supposed to FAE for grain colonisation ?
It's an unmodified method. There is gas exchange through the threading of the lid because it is a quarter turn loose
@@PhillyGoldenTeacher ooookay thank you !
Iam new to this.
Your videos and the rookie's are very good help
Hope i can grow on my own soon 🤗
If i can ask one more question..
I dont have a pressure cooker with the clock on it with the psi
I only have one with two types of cooking
And i saw that mine is at a maximum of 1.7 bar.. i saw that it's like 13 psi
Can i sterilize grain in a good way with that kind of cooker ?
Thank you 😉
May be a dumb question, but I didn't notice FAE on the lids, do you not need fresh air exchange?
Unmodified methods loosen the lid slightly for exchange
Did you sterilize those grain jars at the same time? Or did you let the first colonize then make the others?
I would wait to make the new ones once the colonized one is completely done. Best not to let the rice sit without any mycelium in it.
Hi, I'm wondering about this unmodified lid grain jars. There is no air exchange, doesn't that slow the colonization a lot? I had very slow growth when I don't have a good air exchange. What is your experience?

When you works with agar and jars you use a Still air box or a Laminar flow hood?

do you not need to add moisture?
Can you do a video on reusing substrate?
I saw other video boiling grains but u haven't with corn 🌽 in this video? So is it just for corn or do other grain too?
All grains will work, some are better than others. Milo is my favorite so far
question: anybody have any experience using coco coir, brown rice flour & gypsum as a substrate (no vermiculite), will that work?
Id just leave the flour out. It is not a replacement for verm. Just do straight coir and a sprinkle of gyps if you cannot get verm
Do the jars your transferring to need a hole for air?
do you use manure for psyllicibin...or will coco work for it too and can i make this up a day in advancc before i inject spores
PhillyGoldenTeacher, does the mycellium change color when you break it up?
