Top-Selling Grain Bags: 5 Years Strong! Our grain bags have been our best-sellers for five years, offering exceptional performance for your cultivation needs. The wheat in our bags ensures rapid colonization, while the oat blend creates the perfect grain spawn. For even faster results, consider adding our Drippy Nutrient Boost, a powerful mix of azomite and Light Karo Corn Syrup.
1. Preparing Your Bags
- Unpack Immediately: Upon receiving your bags, remove them from their boxes right away. Long-term storage in boxes or sealed containers can lead to spoilage, so avoid refrigeration. We recommend storing the bags for 7-10 days before use. We take pride in our sterilization techniques and want you to feel confident in your purchase. If you encounter any issues during this storage period, please send us a video of the problem along with the unused injection port, and we will gladly assist you. Please note that while we do not replace used or inoculated bags, we are committed to resolving any concerns that arise before use.
- Freshness Guaranteed: Your bags arrive vacuum-sealed for optimal freshness. It's normal to notice a few burst grains on the outer edges due to the pre-sealing process.
- Remove Rubber Bands: If your bags are secured with rubber bands, please remove them.
- Airflow Preparation: Unroll the bags and gently loosen the gussets to facilitate airflow through the filter. Prop the bag upright and allow it to sit for at least 6 hours. This step promotes air circulation through the filter, making it easier to massage and loosen the contents for quicker colonization.
2. Inoculation Process
- Sanitize: Begin by sanitizing the injection port with an alcohol wipe.
- Inject Culture: Inject 2-10 cc/ml of liquid culture into the port. Always sterilize your needle between inoculations using a mini torch—never use a lighter.
- Optimal Storage Conditions: Store the bags in an open-air environment at temperatures between 72-78°F. Avoid using incubators or tubs, as fresh air is crucial for proper colonization.
- Monitor Growth: Expect to see visible growth within 7-14 days, depending on species and environmental conditions. Once approximately 30% growth is observed, gently mix the bags to distribute the mycelium while avoiding contact with the filter.
- Final Steps: After achieving 100% colonization, wait at least one week before spawning to substrate to ensure that all grains are fully colonized.
