That was very unexpected and interesting. Still not sure why that happened as they typically like to fruit most at the bag interface in filter patch bags.
@@SporeWhore661I think it all depends on where you get yours. I got that size off of Amazon with no clips. I also got the smaller ones from Midwest Grow (I think) and that also did not come with clips. There was another supplier or two that did have the clips though, but fewer sizes and different pricing 🤷♀️😊 The small ones are fitting my space and needs beautifully, but they're not very common.
All the tubs from Microppose.com should come with the clips I believe. If you purchased them from there I would let them know so they can get you a set.
They do take awhile to grow, but you can notice a tiny change from day to day. They also grow towards your light source, so by rotating the container you can make them grow into interesting shapes.
I've grown them a bazillion times this way and they've always gotten that haze near the bottom. I don't think it's spores or mold. Reishi spores are chocolate brown. My best guess is it's hard water deposits from the misting/ultrasonic humidification but not sure. Our water is pretty hard here.
i love your video's man! thanks for all the info you're sharing!! question; do you know how high Reishi antlers can grow? how big where yours when you harvested them?
When I've let them go til they're about maxed out I've gotten them to about 20 inches. These were harvested early in the video because I needed the space. They will continue to grow for months if you let them. Thanks for watching 👊
I have a video on how I process conks. Antlers are pretty much the same except not as much slicing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viVI3-J2-Pc.html
You’ve inspired me to try this, I love this video I keep coming back for reference. Thanks for putting this out there! Can you get a second flush from the tubs?
I've been using bear mountain oak for a few months now. Cheap and very effective. Been mixing some wheat bran in to it and running it through a home made steam sterilizer. Do you know how long and at what temp I should run it at? I usually make 5lb blocks and pack 32 in the barrel. Thanks man! Love the videos...
That's awesome you made a homemade steam sterilizer. It depends how high you go with the bran. I routinely use 5% with just my quick in-bag pasteurization method and don't get any contams. If you want to go to 20%, I use a 12 hour extended cooler pasteurization, not sure what the equivalent time would be for your steam sterilizer. Here's my cooler vid for 20% if you haven't seen it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JvNtq0pVyxk.htmlsi=7WTvjXNOLaF_Vxtc
Thanks for the inspiration and more great tips! I was pondering how to grow a high CO2 loving mushroom like a King Oyster, and I think your method of putting Reishi mushrooms into a tote and spritzing the walls of the tote for humidity with minimal ventilation would work for the King Oysters. What are your thoughts?
Kings need a little more fresh air than Reishi. You can still use the tub, but I recommend having the holes wide open to get air exchange from the room and using a small humidifier to maintain the internal humidity. I show that method in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ywDfm6UNUEY.htmlsi=JS9GXOSNSqw3mcpT
- 6 lbs. dry oak pellets - 8 lbs. 4 oz. boiling water for pasteurization and hydration, so 14 lbs. 4 oz. total substrate weight. Once the substrate cools to room temp add 5 lbs. of grain spawn. Less spawn would work, but spawning heavy reduces contam risk.
Any hardwood pellets would probably work fine, but they do seem to like oak. Lately I've just been buying the Bear Mountain oak pellets used for pellet grills. They're a little more expensive but not bad.

Not for me no, if you follow the recipe in the video they basically grow themselves as long as you have good genetics. I highly recommend the Reishi strain from Field & Forest products. LC syringe is around $30. I've had the same culture going for 12 years.
@@RenegadeMushrooms I've had 2 different attemps with Masters Mix and only managed 1 sad little antler. I'll definitely try this method...although this past weekend, I found a beautiful huge shelf while hiking so I'll process that for now. Great vid!
@@coryg7051 Cool, let me know how it works for you. Genetics is super important too. I highly recommend the G. lucidum strain from Field & Forest Products. Thanks for watching and commenting 👊
Not sure on that. Last time I checked, if your annual sales were under $5,000 and you follow organic practices, you can call your product organic. Sales over $5,000, you need USDA certification. That was a long time ago though, so the rules may have changed.
@@RenegadeMushrooms bro I have one more question,! Right now I was building in my garage. Some buckets are fruit and harvest but I don’t sale any mushrooms. so I need to registration any documents from our government?? I’m living in TX
