Roland Griffiths and Robin Carhart-Harris are the 2 most well-known researchers. Griffiths is from Johns Hopkins and Carhart-Harris is from Imperial College, London. There are a lot of YouTube videos out there of them presenting their findings, discussing the topic with the media, and a few TED talks.
Here’s a graphic one of them put out about the interconnection seen in test subjects. I think they used fMRI data to develop the mapping.
Mandingo up in here!
I can see your 3rd flush pinset coming in
Good luck!
The black spots are in the grain. I know what you’re talking about it’s another grain like Milo. The oats I use are not the cleanest. It’s part of the reason people like pop corn so much cleaner and since it’s meant for consumption pop corn it’s pretty clean. I have seen millet Milo and corn in my bag of oats it’s not contamination.
Finally finished
I’d still let that go one more week myself.
At least a week. Like we’ve all been told if you think it’s ready give it another week. The more mature/saturated for lack of a better term the mycelium is in your jars the better your flush will be hands down. Which goes hand in hand with tubs. It’s all a waiting game yeah
And that was a grain to grain transfer too which we all know typically speeds up the process. Not as much as a LC but very close to it!! Patience is key the more we rush things the less there is come harvest time which is not what any of us are striving to achieve or wanting to invest our time and money into. And this hobby is NOT cheap unless you are trying to run the uncle Ben Tek. Which is not a bad practice by no means.
With these all you have to do is inject your spores? Good luck this round.
You are crushing it bro 
. As soon as I get my stuff together and have some time I’ll try again.
That’s correct. Then wait.
You have it this time no worries at all. Those bags are going to help you out huge
I think I might give a couple a try. Do you put the bag into a bin with substrate to fruit or do you fruit in the bag?
I put the jars of bulk into the substrate and mix it evenly then put the tub back to colonize for 10 days to 2 weeks to further colonize before fruiting the tub.
I have a several jars ready to do this with now and keep putting it off.
So the contents of the bag would go into substrate to colonize for a few days then you would go to fruiting conditions? Im really considering a couple of these to get something going.
Grain to bulk tutorial:
I use trimmed-to-size heavy duty trash bags as liners. Liners are necessary to prevent light from reaching the sides and bottom of the tub. Pouring the bulk directly into the tub without a liner can encourage side and bottom pinning. Light isn’t known to trigger pinning, it probably more an issue of free airflow.
These are 15 qt. tubs. They are big enough to each accommodate a half of a Boomr Bag.
Spray all surfaces, including the tubs and liners with 77% iso alcohol. It’s best to use 77% since higher percentages evaporate too quickly to get a good job of sterilization complete.
I use packing tape to attach the liner to the sides of the tub. A piece of tape on each corner is sufficient.
Break up any clumps and evenly distribute the bulk substrate.
Six jars total, plus a jar of liquid culture. Three jars per tub is a good bulk to grain ratio for healthy, rapid colonization. I’ll address the liquid culture further down.
Break up the grain and mix it evenly in the bulk substrate.
Sprinkle the liquid culture over the mixed substrate/grain once they are mixed together well. I’ve found that this encourages faster, more complete colonization. It also add a little extra moisture.
Cover the substrate with wax paper to help retain moisture and restrict airflow.
Put your tubs in a closed environment for a 10 days to 2 weeks to fully colonize. Once the bulk is colonized it will be time to fruit them.
Doesn’t taping the bags partially defeat the purpose of bags / liner? I don’t use one anyway as I’ve gotten some very healthy side shrooms but I thought the point was that the liner kind of sticks to the substrate as it dries out and contracts which keeps conditions less than optimal for pinning.
Correct. My bad.
Good point. I leave enough slack for the bag to stick to the sides of the cake.
@MidwestGuy, I need to figure out how to bookmark this post, thank you for this tutorial.
What is your bulk substrate? It looks lovely. And how do you prepare it? I’m sorry if that a whole other tutorial…
