sick!!! great work! Lions is so fickle on grain...what it really comes down to is water content. one of the best grains to grow lions mane out on is actually oats as you can get the water content up high enough to stave off autofruiting which seems to be a reaction to not enough moisture content in regularly used grains such as rye wheat and millet!

Robin Moore Well it all got jump-started by Brad Kuhns of Top Shelf in Canada and the mastermind behind Silo Farms where Blaine works. Myself and a couple other folks were looking into combining and pelletizing differnet ingredient around the country but a lot of the pellet mills were entirely too small, but the MO mill along with a couple of others that we work with to produce combo pellets had the proper equipment and scalability to make it happen. There is a funny battle between Brad, whi really did mastermind the combo-pellet in name and concept and Seth from Mushroom Media Online who essentially copied Brads development after a series of conversation with him...but as they say, all seemingly genius ideas are usually stolen and developed further! I was just stoked to be there in the begin to start the distribution of the combo pellets prior to folks getting the initial concept. We went from turning 60,000 lbs of raw red oak over every week to pellets when we finally did the labor math!

Tyler N Allen Hell yea my dude, so glad you are diggin it!

Thanks so much for the kind words! So whats really interesting about pellets is our knowledge is fairly limited to combo pellets. It seems that HWFP are hard as a muthafucka and difficult to force hydrate batch to batch and brand to brand but the combo pellets were designed to absorb very fast. WE just wrapped up an episode on the Fenrir and we talk about the combo pellets a bit but perhaps we should do go that substrate rabbit hole again. Short soaking is always better for anything rich in nitrogen but HWFP they can soak for a bit, hot water can certianly be helpful and if you have an on demand unit you can more speedily bag and get to steaming. Keep at it!

Dude, Psilo started us all up, all ya gotta do it keep going and growing and glean what you can from the old school cats out there. Super stoked you are getting goodness from the deep dives and podcasts amigo. CT could use some freshness so keep up the killer work!

What is UP!?!

Next time ill bust out the 4x5 graflex for some good old grain photos! Happy to have come and visited and so stoked you are part of this community! Insane in the incubation is a good episode for lighting specs, follows into Co2 and ventilation and water is a good one...ok, im on recording some of these for 5 for 5's...stay tuned!

Man that is gnarly! I dig it!

Oh hell yea! Kong is an oldie but a goodie from the OG CMGN days. I believe it originally was from Mushroom's Naturally in MO...that dude can grow mushrooms! So stoked you are stoked!
