The casual manner in which you said, "if you don't do this, it will cause a BOMB" blew me away. Love this!

I just started out, two weeks ago tomorrow, and checked my spawn bags this morning, and we’ve achieved Mycelium!!!!! I haven’t been this excited since… I inoculated them!!!!

I'm actually very happy to see someone use a grain to grain method with the bags. It's hard to find a video that explains grain to grain using spawn bags. Everyone else is doing liquid culture inoculation, but honestly there are so many videos of LC and hardly any of G2G using spawn. Thanks 🙏🏼

Nice upgrade. The "sealer" is actually a spacer for the bottom to keep your jars/bags off direct heat. ;) Been canning vegies with one of these for years... love them.

Many years ago (1976) I created a plastic-enclosed environment to transfer spore and had a can of disinfectant and a burning candle inside to sterilize my transfer tool. When I sprayed the disinfectant to sterilize the air the enclosure exploded in my face, scorching my eyebrows and completely melting the enclosure. Fun times.

Might have been good to inoculate the three bags with an equal volume of liquid culture. This could remove any slight edge introduced by accidentally giving one of the bags slightly more or slightly less of the pre-colonized grain. Regardless, really fun experiment! :) Testing different ratios and combinations of these and other components would be fun too!

Hi Ashley, I love your videos. You have good content delivered in a concise manner in a reasonable time span. Thank you for that!

Love the videos! Very informative! I love how you are patient enough top include progress updates in one video!

I just found your channel and I'm beyond excited. I'm visually impaired and struggle with most of the videos I find but omg you explain things so well I'm not feeling intimidated anymore. Will binge all your videos over the holidays. Thank you ❤

First off, you generally have the best pathway for success and information on here. Thank you for that. Secondly, I’m not sure if you intend for things to be humorous or not but your delivery makes it. Lastly you make those jeans look amazing. Please don’t take that the wrong way just could not ignore that lol.

One thing to mention is the cost. 50lb bags of milo and millet average around d $50. Whereas the whole oats are $15. It’s also easier to find oats pretty much year round. But I do agree that the smaller size of the milo(sorghum) and millet do allow for more inoculation points and more than likely faster colonization.

You are feeding a newfound passion I am a big fan thank you for videos

Thank you! This helped so much couldn’t find better and more step by step info anywhere else

I just got the same presto canner last week....... It's like somebody called in the Artilary....woww what a difference it makes .. good video thx

i finally decided to buy some milo for my grain spawn, thanks a lot, your videos helped me so much,, much ❤️

Always great to see more of your stuff. Very well done. Keep it up!

Cool video but I been reading through the comments and you tell someone you leave the grains to dry for 20 min before u put them in the bag and another person you told them you don’t let em dry you put them straight in the bag. Good video but missing the little details that people want to know. And your experiment would be more accurate if you weight it out the spawn before you put them in instead of eyen it

You're unbelievable, thanks for share, greetings from Colombia !!

milo has those snowballs on top, and a lot more dence, which seems has more nutrients for growth of mycelium, I will definetly try that, beautiful video. :)

I love you Ashley. Thanks for the superb instruction

So, you don't actually have to air dry the grains before bagging it up? That's awesome. I knew there had to be a better way. Now I can't stop sneaking all my wife's cookie sheets down to the basement and spreading grain all over the place.

I'd like to see a 4th bag with a scoop of each grain. One bag to rule them all!

Another great video from this channel! I really appreciate your scientific approach. 👍🍄💖

Thanks for yet another fantastic video! You're sharing a lot of very useful knowledge out there.

I wanted to like whole oats because of the price but ultimately had a lot of stalling with whole oats. Millet is my go to. Also with millet it's easy to see any contamination because millet is really light in color!

This is ingenious. I have an InstantPot, might try with that. PC's scare me and I'm not ashamed lol. Using an inoculated bag like that is next level

I think the more experiments you do the more people can be confident in getting into mycology

I worked with a very small PC for the first one months. Lol. When I finally got my 26 QT one it was like being spoiled. 😂

Another step in the process! You’re gonna be growing the grain before long 😆 vertical integration!

Thank you, just the info I was looking for 👍

My cousin is your twin. She even sounds just like you do. OMG.

Whats the best way to make an all in one inject an forget bag

I have never seen spawn go that quickly and I've been doing this for a decade that Milo is unbelievable I've never used it I wonder if I should try it

Is there alternatives for people with no presssurecooker?

out of the 3 which did you find did best overall once it came time to transfer to the monotub for fruiting? Great videos, very informative. Thank you!

Or you can just buy Uncle Ben's brown rice avoid the whole might turn the pressure cooker into a bomb thing, love the videos

Hi Ashley, I've watched a few different videos and I find it interesting that after soaking seeds you transfer them directly into the bags, no drying time needed? Clearly that method is producing success. James

Great video and demonstration. I'm learning alot from this channel.

Hi Ashley, thank you for the great content. How long will a spawn bag last after sterilization (shelf life?) before it needs to be used? ✌️

Hi, im new. Could you do video of how to use spawn bag after fully colonized please. Any special steps to do not to do. Thank You

this is dope just subscribed to your page. I want to learn how to grow psychedelic shrooms so bad lmao

i found the cheapest thing worked the best for me, the smaller grains i would have a problem with oversaturation, but good old bird seed worked much better, also its soooo worth it getting alrger pressure cooker, it will save you hours upon hours being able to cook multiple items, its an extra 40 bucks, pay itself off the first grow..

Thanks! Very simple and informative!

I read also gypsum lowers the ph which is important from what I've read

a couple questions: 1. what kind of sealer do you have? I have a Foodsaver, but have not yet used it. 2. do you make your own spawn bags? I see yours have AE patches? If i were to make my own, could you recommend a specific bag to purchase? 3. when you sterilize, you just fold the top over to close it off, and only open it when G2Ging? Then you seal (without vacuum) after you've inoculated them? Thanks for your videos, they're very helpful! I look forward to your response!

How much spawn should u put in each bag of your substrate or is this on a good site somewhere plz help

That 23qt is already on my xmas list! My presto 8qt is okay but lacks space.

Hi Ashley! First I have to thank you for making everything so simple! I have came a long way since watching your videos. I still watch them daily before I attempt a new method you have shown me. Thanks for your help and making me a pro! I do have to ask where you find your bulk grain? I can't seem to find Milo anywhere locally. Do you have a vendor? Thanks so much!

Thanks!

Where can I buy the spacer or what can I use?

perfect. Now I just need one of those yellow cups.

Can you please tel me where I can buy these bags you use the 3 lb bags

I notice you don't cook them before sterilizing... which is good for me to skip if its unnecessary step.

Where can you buy the bags?

The best of best of its kind!

Hey Ashley, now that you are doing liquid culture, have you considered repeating this experiment? I think the amount of spawn/LD added to each bag should be more precisely dosed to get the most empirical results. Also, the size of the grain create a significant difference between the empty space in the give volume. Seems like milo creates a sweet spot regarding the space the mycelium has to grow verses air exchange. There might be other factors involved, but my hunch is that each species of fungus might slightly prefer different grain sizes (and obviously each grain type or mix of grain/sawdust/wood species also play a factor in rate and vigor of growth). I wonder if rate of growth impacts quality/quantity of fruits. Have you read anything about this?

Please do a video on mushroom tissue culture

Hi Ashley. Thanks for this beautiful video. I'm fan of your videos. Would you able to help where to get spawn bags and grains? Where you buy them online? And instead of spawn bags is that possible to use reusable spawn jars? Thank you for your response❤️ with love 🍄

Such a great video! What plastic spawn bags do you use that can survive a pressure cooker? I’m having issues finding any reliable ones

Anyone know where to get bulk millet and Milo in Houston? I can't find a feed store that carries these in bulk. Lots of WBS and can find posts only. Thx ❤

Gosh i love your voice 🤩

Any spawn bag recommendations?

Amazing thank you for the effort !

Loved the video. Can you tell me where you buy your spawn bags please?

I have 2 spawning bags given to me by my friend. it looks pretty dry and i'm doing it the way you do

You are the best! Thank you!!!

Hey boomer Shropms Could you make a video or explain here how to cook the bags so they dont burst, and explain why they burst?

That part about the bomb blowing..😝

Could an instant pot be used instead of a pressure cooker?

So much easier to use a bag of brown rice!

Lol. The B word with pressure cokker together. NSA is watching 👀 you now! 😆 🤣

All that growth after 2 days?! I followed ur video and noticed growth in about 20 days using whole oat. Im not sure why it didnt happen sooner than that

If i use a 3LB spawn bag in the inflatable monotub, would i use the whole 3LB bag in that tub or split it in half?

I cant find any videos about how to make your own bags and attaching your own injection ports and micron filters to like an oven turkey bag.

How much grain for each bag?

Youre in good shape 😅

where can i get spawn bags

Hello! Have you heard of people using deer corn? There used to be a guy on yt that used it but I can't seem to find his videos so it lead me to you lol I can't wait to try to grow myself! Your videos are way information and visually too!

Hello what shop sells the hepa filter I am in UK hard to find anywhere lol I spent weeks trying to get a flow hood it's a joke 😅 I got one on amazon and I'm shore its not going to come as not many reviews bloomin nightmare just crazy uuurrrr

I did a g grain test and corn won over millet sorghum barley and rye. But maybe I dialed in the moisture better on the corn.

What is milo please?

I'm assuming that after removing the bag(s) from the pressure cooker you would then seel them, and then let cool?

Thank you for your great instructional videos! Where do you get your big bags of millet and milo, and is the millet hulled?

Use an instant pot on veggie steam for 40 mins and save yourself the headache

Great tutorial thanks. Do you think I could put colonized agar dish straight into grain bag.

I thought gypsum didnt add any nutrients, its just a moisture retention material. If it had nutrients all of our walls would be rotting all the time. Gypsum and drywall are the same thing.

All genetics. I don’t know if I can mention strains? But one spore in oats was one of my fastest growing and strongest fruits ever. That also goes for all in one bags. Healthy genetics will make it.

Can you list where you got the bulk grain from?

Appreciate your effort

Nice video

Thank you for your awesome video's, just started my 1st grow wish me luck ❤

Thank you for your very informative video! I am new to this game so I may not understand how it all works, I don't know why everybody seems interested in the race for the fastest-growing spores. It would seem to me that the final production weight would be the most important factor in growing shrooms or growing anything for that matter so long as there is only a week or 2 difference to maturity. What am I missing?

Do I just turn off the pc and let it sit for 24 hours, or do I release the pressure or will it do it by itself? Another video said to keep them in the pressure cooker with the heat off but didn't say to release the pressure or not.

helped a lot! thanks!

I have never seen anyone fill spawn bags with that wet of a grain if they stick to a paper towel they're too wet

You really helped me thanks ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I use whole oat since the feed store near me has 40lbs for 15 dollars

So after they soak for 24 hours you don’t have to dry out the grain out before you put them in the bag?

what are the differences between using a grain jar for spawning versus a spawn bag? Is one preferable over the other?

Hello, good explanation. A question that could be used as a filter to make these Mushbang bags (the bags you use for mushroom crops) at home or DIY.
