Very detailed and thorough. I see some people are complaining that its too slow but people who are new to this need to hear reiterated things to put emphasis on the importance. Paying attention to detail and being thorough as I said, are both staples of being 100% sterile. I don't care if it was a long video, that was solid. Thank you.

Thanks for great videos. You can also use a small square of tin foil, with the shiny side on silicone. It comes right off the silicone easier than paper in my experience.

Willy I’ve been in my first b+ batch and read so much but your videos jump started all of my knowledge thank you!!

Just something I’ve done to help with this.... can use a wet paper towel (wrapped on your finger even) instead of the square paper to make the shape. It doesn’t stick to the wet uncured RTV an might even dry faster. Hope that helps...#TTF🍄🖤🤙🏽

I have always wondered how to do this. I would usually wipe down the bag with rubbing alcohol and then inject then immediately cover the pinhole with micropore tape. It makes sense how you do it. Looks easy! Thanks for your videos man. Thank you man. I appreciate your videos.

Moisture content of the bag is on point! Well done 👏.

Great Vid! I can def see the appeal of spawn bags if your grow gets much larger. Id say a flo hood is def a must if youre gonna use spawn bags though cause trying to inoculate bulk bags with another bag in a SAB is a NIGHTMARE. For mellow home growin Im just gonna stick to my qt jars cause they also help me when inoc time comes and half the jar is a perfect 12oz which is a good ratio for my bulk bags. Still, awesome video, good knowledge for the long run 👍

Put the plah speed to x2 thank me later

Very clear and nice tutorial. Im from philippines and im interested in your tutorial thank you so much for making this video.

Thanks so much! Was searching for a "how to" for a while.

This is complete hearsay but made sense when it was said to me. When you wipe with alcohol do so in only one direction, like raking leaves. That way if a spore/endo survives the alcohol you have a good chance of wiping it off instead of back and forth. I have been waiting a lifetime to share that lol hope its right!

Use dish liquid and water mixture on your fingertips to keep silicone from sticking to you.

Thank you brother for all the wisdom! I do enjoy your videos and how detailed you are… any more videos coming up soon? I was wondering if you’d be interested in doing a video about outdoor patches? If cubenzies are possible to grow outside on the west coast…

Polypropylene spawn bags melt at 266 F but polyethylene bags melt at 230. Polypropylene spawn bags are used in pressure cookers reaching 250 F at 15 PSI.

Badass man! Always exciting to see a new video from you

So much love for this guy! Glad to be part of the fam!

If you're cheap, don't even bother with injection ports. Just put a dab of hot glue over the hole. As long as the air isn't moving, and you have the top of the bag flopped towards the syringe so nothing above can drop onto the syringe or the hole, you'll never have any contamination.

thanks for the great video Willy. Great info! Mush luv my friend!

This is an excellent idea. Also, coat your paper-tape with a light dusting of active ccarbon powder. (Not enough to heavily restrict airflow)

Hey Willy, got info on the event and it sounds amazing. I'm just afraid I'll miss out do to limit, but If I can't get my partner in on this one ... I'll be holding my breathe til the next. Hope to see you for TAW n stay VIP

For the hole poking try a soldering iron with a tip you dont care about. Dont have to deal with the open flame and it will always be hot.

Willy, you are too cool, brother. Thank you for the work you are doing. Particularly in this time of fear and uncertainty.

I suggest inoculating through the bag under a SAB or flow hood and covering the hole with autoclave-able tape. Just leave the tape on the bag when you do the next batch of spawn and repeat the process until the bag is spent. The bag won’t last forever anyway…

This video is great! I'll be honest, I don't like videos of someone standing there talking, looking slightly off camera. BUT, this one is perfect. Thank you, Willy!

Yo Brizo , yer Lyrikz of wizdome iz muzik to my earz !!!!!!! Right on man!!!!!

And another issue is the plastic bags with the vent port on them rated for certain temps that allows them not to break in a pressure canner. I would imagine not any vaccum seal or plastic bag can be used to pressure cook with. So maybe the only way is to buy the plastic bags with vent ports rated for mushroom development. A slight thing you didnt mention on but the self healing port with the same stuff you seal gaskets of engine blocks with is kind of cool to know how to do seal healing ports for the pressure canner. Nice video.

Nice man. Can't wait to use this in the future and save some bread

I would use either parchment paper or wax paper instead of regular paper. Parchment or wax won't stick to the RTV at all. Much easier to peel off. Also, it's better to use 70% alcohol instead of 91%. 70% remains on the applied surface longer, thus killing more bacteria and other pathogens.

those self healing ports are so satisfying

Love your videos, thank you

Good stuff man thanks for the great information

perfect for newbies! thx for the great vid!

really have learned a great deal from your vids. Thought I give ya a shout out to ya From Humboldt County Ca.

This is why he uses the tape on the outside of the bag that already has grain in it. It sticks to the tape better than the bag. He should of said that.

Hey Willy can you please do a video on how you prepare/draw liquid cultures!

First time watching a Willy video. Hay! Bonus! He shows us how to cut the tip and make a little nozzle at 11:00. I think I need to take a shower now.

Great tip! Thanks :)

Great video man!

1:50 thank me later

Love your vids man

With grain bags I just either grain to grain or shoot from a mycelium syringe at the top and tape over it with a couple layers of micropore.

Thanks. This was great

Yeeesssss perfect timing

Your a legend brother✌️

Bro I love you I love what your doing. Thanks for drock mushlove

Great video. Thank you.

I want that fully automated monotub!!! Come on Willy I really wanna get my foot in the door!

Awesome trick my friend

Can’t use wax paper bro? Great vid as always. My myco mentor 👌

glad to see you're are still around. anyone care to share where his tek vids are or any new vids her csnnot upload to yt? i see he i snot on vimeo. i found some on another site but idk if it is official or complete as the last ones are a year old. for example i heard him mention a megatub tek. is there a video for that tek somewhere?

Thank you so much for the tutorial

Much love man

much easier is to just make a thick blop of sanity grade silikon on the bag and poke right through it to inokulate.

Ah man. Place i got pre made bags from didnt have the injectors. I injected through the bag and tried tape. Tape sucked. All of it contaminated. I was just winging it anyways but yea lol. Id like to see how you do your liquid cultures. I tried a few years ago and i think i was carmelizing the sugars.

I want to do bags for grains, but I feel like I need a bigger flow hood. My pressure cooker is the size of my flowhood lol. Only other option is to work sideways and open PC in front of FH but on a stool or something to bring the PC opening into the flow of the hood and then seal it.

Nice one👍😎👍

I bought some premix spoons bags and spores from someone on etsy who had good reviews but I kept them for about 6 weeks. I notice that now they are not vacuum sealed. Do you think this is going to be a problem? Also my syringe of spores does not look like there is anything in it. There is not cluster of spores to shake and beak up. Honestly it looks empty. What do you think?

The tape sticks to my gloves and makes the job very difficult. Any suggestions? By the way I love your enthusiasm. It is contagious.....even with the mask.

Question, I picked my mushrooms today and I noticed that there was a sorta purple hair over a chunk of my substrate, my mushrooms seem ok since this only appeared over night. Also it was a little slimy...should I throw it out? One of the two tubs that appear to have the issue has a 2 small black spots too. (could be ground). The other two tubs I have are still all white.

This is a great vid. What I want to know though is how did you seal the bag?

Hey willy! You heard of blue juice? Do a movie and potency test! ♥️🍄

I need peoples opinion on misting. Should i mist directly on the casing for a monotub setup? Take in mind im headed toward second flush and substrate is slightly dryer than first flush.

Take a shot every time he says "you guys"

Do you have to poke a hole in the bag? Can you just put the RTV on the outside of the bag and call it good?

Excellent idea - but I wonder how many times can we use each bag - because after filling with grains for innoculation we will be sealing the bags (usually) and once we uses the spawns on substrates OK we get the empty bag - but each time we will have to cut and open the seal - so everytime the bag reduces its length - Am I right ?

Do you really need to melt a hole? I mean wouldn't the needle go through it just fine?

If those bags will allow you to stick a syringe in them without ripping the bag leaving only a small syringe sized hole then this injection port bs is overkill. Simply inoculate then remove your needle then cover with tape. However this is a cool method if you are looking to make your own port. Id go further utilizing a round injection mold to give you a perfectly circular port. Perhaps stainless steel will allow for this.

I would try parchment paper . May help with the stickiness of the red stuff

I got two Wavy Cap spore syringes for Xmas. 🍄💚°

I know this is kind of an old video but I had a question. I soaked grains for 24 hours then cooked them for 15 minutes maybe a little longer. A lot of the grains busted open but a majority did not. I know that’s not good but does that mean they’re not going to work? So far that seems to be the case because every time i inoculate them it seems to do great for a week or two but then it turns mushy and smells like they’re fermenting. Am I overcooking the grains? Or am I suppose to let the grains dry out for a long time in the bags after sterilizing? I’m stumped and this is my 4th attempt at this and only a few bags out of many have actually colonized all the way to the fruiting stage. Any help anyone can give is greatly appreciated.

Hey Willy how do you feel about the use of USB-C lights before and after any work being done in the work area?

I tried some RTV. I find it weak as can be. Maybe that is the point? I would use 100% silicone, what do you say?

Bro, where are all your videos that were on Vimeo they were so thorough. Any way for us to get those?

I’ve been trying to find an old video where you would take ryegrass seed along with coffee in a jar and create some sort of” truffle”. Any sources where I can find this?

Hey Willy can you do a video on hybrid species? How to create your own and how to tell if you have a legitimate hybrid

What is the micropore tape for? Wouldn't be easier to put the RTV paste directly on the bag?

Was it necessary to punch the hole on the empty bag? Couldnt you leave the bag intact and punch a needle through when you are inoculating?

Change playback speed to 2x for all his videos. You're welcome 🤗

When is your next event bro? Love the vids your a good dude

love from the others bro. #TTF

These injection ports and air filter hold up in a pressure cooker after you fill and seal the bag? Or is it best to fold the bag and wrap it with another layer of something during pressure cooking like tin foil or some another durable plastic?

Are lysol whips bad?? Dose Clorox work better than alcohol or worse ??

do you do this with jars also?

Can't I just apply the RTV onto an empty mushroom bag the same way you do for the already-full one? Also how long are grain spawn bags good for? Can you really let them sit around at room temp like that?

Yo bro, like your video man. But how do I sterilize the grain in side the bag?

I am trying to get some bags but cannot get my hands on any unicorn bags. Can you give any advice on which other bags would be good for grain and sub that would be great for pressure cookers? Thank you 🙏

They also make biodegradable bags

Is your website down? KZfaq and Insta best places to access your amazing content?

Can you use regular vacuum seal bags and add Micropore tape and a self healing injection port?

Try using cooper tables and tools

Thanks Willy! i have an off topic question to this video...i was wondering if i could use wild moose manure? would that be an option to add to substrate?

Hello. I am really taking a long shot here. I recently decided to try and grow some magic. I ordered brf jars from Midwest grow kits. I ordered spores from sporeworks. I very carefully inoculated on Friday evening, around 7 pm. I just looked at cakes for the first time, since. I see absolutely nothing. I don't see moisture, or anything. Please help me ease my mind, as I'm very anxious and have bad ocd. Also, thanks in advance for your time, and sorry to abruptly ask for advice. Is Midwest grow kits reliable? Is my substrate to dry? I'm glad I don't see contamination I guess. Please help, thanks again.

Is putting rtv silicone on filter patch (on the bag) is not acceptable? It seems easier

Willy drop that auto mono tub vid🙏🏽

Is that gasket maker basically high temp silicone?

What's the point of the hole poked thru the bag? Won't the needle accomplish the same thing without the extra step?

Willy couldn’t we use the microppose self healing tabs? Would be much easier right...

Need a shirt or hat with the logo on it, I’d get one.

If you're putting them on after can't you just use regular silicone?
