    I'm using your all in one bags right now. I have them in a tent with 75 degrees and 80% RH it's been 2 weeks since inoc and so far so good.

    Do you recommend folding over the all in one bags too?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem +2

      Yes, for the initial colonization folding the bag over prevents moisture from leaving the bag while waiting for everything to colonize. Once fully colonized, we recommend raising the bag up to allow mushrooms to form in the top open section.

  • @sarisari7420
    @sarisari7420 Před měsícem +1

    Can I put a blanket over the all in one bag once I inject the LC or spores? Which do you recommend is better? Spores or LC, thank you!

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 29 dny

      You can if you want to. Spores have more genetic variance, LC is slightly faster. They both have their pros and cons.

  • @MycoAlan
    @MycoAlan Před měsícem

    Love the info, but why is the alcohol prep ok to clean the injection port but it’s not enough for the syringe? I always flame, but I just don’t understand why

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem +3

      The alcohol will help with wiping off any contaminants which may be on the surface, however when wiping off a needle it's possible to catch bits of the swab, or mold particles on the needle, especially in the tip. Then when you inject, the liquid inside pushes out the bits that have been caught on/in the tip which go into the bag and contaminate things. Of course this is speculation, I'm not sure on the actual action but when we ask growers who have contamination with our bags, 9 out of 10 of them have wiped the needle with something before inoculating.

  • @Aliveinsideink
    @Aliveinsideink Před měsícem

    Question. So I got a little impatient and mixed the substrate with about 30% colonization (I waited about 5 weeks and the growth seemed to have slowed). Did I mess it up too badly? I made the conditions better and im colonizing again, but I wanted to see if its not going to work now.

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem +2

      With that time frame for growth, your mycelium was probably somewhat weak to begin with, usually full colonization of the grain layer only takes 2-4 weeks max. As long as you're seeing the mycelium recover, you should still get a completed project and harvest :)

  • @CryptoJones
    @CryptoJones Před měsícem

    Does this apply to other manufacture's grow bags as well?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem +6

      Yes, these methods would work well for other bags, ours are the best though so we recommend ours over theirs!

  • @Nonameshusband
    @Nonameshusband Před měsícem

    I injected spores about 30 days ago now and have seen zero mycelium growth in the bag now. Is it likely it will eventually colonize? Also could I add a different strain of liquid culture to the bag as to not waste it? (watching through this video, i’ve realized it is near an outside wall which has likely dropped the temp.)

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem

      If you inoculated and left your bag for 14 days without touching the bag you should see growth. The biggest reason for failure with these projects is handling the bag too soon after inoculating, causing damage to the early mycelium causing it to stop growing. If nothing is growing in the bag that means it's still sterile and yes, you can still use it for another attempt with the same or another genetic variety.

  • @edhokeah4114
    @edhokeah4114 Před měsícem +1

    If you inoculate 2 bags with the same liquid culture can you mix the 2 into 1 large monotub ? With everything being healthy and hardy is my question

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem

      Yes as long as they're the same variety that's totally fine :)

  • @Qwertz-nr7ns

    Do I gotta put them outside or can I just leave it in my closet?

    • @BoomingAcres

      In your closet is fine, somewhere dark and warm is what you're aiming for.

    mates one can use ordinary ziplog bags in pressure cooker, right?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem

      Absolutely not. Those bag are not going to be able to handle the temperature and will melt, which can either damage your cooker or cause a major accident. Don't do that.

  • @bricemerkling4345
    @bricemerkling4345 Před 6 dny +1

    I got your bags and a couple of them where 50 but there were 2 bags that I did that were only like 20 to 30 will I have any problems with letting it recolonise?

    • @bricemerkling4345
      @bricemerkling4345 Před 6 dny +1

      Like 50%

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 5 dny +1

      Mixing early will slow the recovery speed of the bag, but it should still finish out if you give it time.

  • @misshitokiri
    @misshitokiri Před 2 měsíci

    When I inoculated my bags, I left them folded up. I didn’t spread the bag open like you did. Does that matter?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 2 měsíci

      We recommend following the directions we provide, if you made a small difference like that you can do what we show and you'll have better results :)

  • @LosEntertainment97

    So if my house is like 72-75 room temp can i just leave it in my closet to inoculate?

    Does the 5lb all in one come with the syringe ?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 26 dny +1

      No, we do not include genetic material with our products unless a gourmet liquid culture is purchased separately.

  • @WoodimusMaximus
    @WoodimusMaximus Před 5 dny

    What do I do if my bag drys out ?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 3 dny

      If you have a colonized block that is dry, you can do a 1 hour cold water soak of the block. If you have grain or substrate that has sat and dried out, for grain you would need to get a fresh bag, for substrate when you mix your colonized grain with it, you can mist the substrate with a spray bottle to add some hydration.

    I inoculated 8 grain bags.5 cc in each and it’s been 1 month and I see no results except for 1 bag ,how is this possible

    • @Nonameshusband
      @Nonameshusband Před měsícem

      i’ve seen recommendations of about 2.5-5 ccs per all in one bag, i haven’t researched grain bags yet but i assume it’s similar for grain bags. My first try isn’t going well either though😭

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem +1

      You can try inoculating with more material, if you only used half a cc per bag that's not enough material in the bags. If you used 5cc per bag though, you should be seeing growth. Check that the bags are somewhere warm and in the dark. Try inoculating with more material and if that doesn't do the trick feel free to reach out via email.

    Can I wipe the needle with fire?

    • @Nonameshusband
      @Nonameshusband Před měsícem

      You can sterilize the needle with fire, people often heat until red hot with a torch. That is the safest way.

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem

      Heat the needle to red hot but do NOT wipe you needle, do NOT touch the needle with anything.

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 21 dnem +2

      It's been a thought but if people miss that the product is vacuum sealed with the instruction cards inside of it, unable to be read, and looks nothing like the bags in our guides online, the product pictures from where they ordered, and other pictures of mushroom bags online, they're probably not going to notice another thing they'd have to read. It's one of those things where maybe only 1 in 1,000 people don't realize that the product is literally vacuum sealed, so making more waste for those people to just ignore the sticker that says 'open here' is likely not worth it in the long run.

  • @Bentwambus
    @Bentwambus Před měsícem +2

    Why colonize in the dark? Do you have some sort of fact surrounding that or are you just repeating what someone else said?

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před měsícem +4

      So my thought process on why in the dark has always been because in nature that's the environment for the mycelium. It's growing either inside of wood, where sunlight won't hit it, in compost, or in manure or soil. It's always inside of something where sun won't hit it, then the fruiting bodies emerge and that's the only time part of the system is exposed to direct sunlight. When you're out in the forest, you can see a log on the ground, no signs of mushrooms or mycelium, then when you peel off some bark you see a network of mycelium growing underneath. Same thought process for this application :)

    • @Bentwambus
      @Bentwambus Před měsícem +1

      @@BoomingAcres fair enough. I just know from my experience that cubes grown with light are better than cubes grown in darkness as there's no place in the world where cubensis grow naturally in the absence of light. I do understand your theory on the mycelium being underground, therefore in total darkness

  • @nakedfoxx
    @nakedfoxx Před měsícem +1

    Can i put it on heating mat

    • @BoomingAcres
      @BoomingAcres  Před 29 dny

      No, we specifically recommend not doing that. Placing your bag directly on a heat mat will quickly dry it out. We recommend if you need to heat your bag to put it in a tote bin or box with a heat mat inside but not resting on it. This will warm the air in the box but not the bag directly, keeping it usable for longer and keeping the moisture inside the bag for the mycelium to utilize.
