Enoki Growing
Enoki Growing on Masters Mix
Supplies
- High pressure pan, autoclave or Steam Cooker
- A big container to mix in
- Latex gloves
- Elastic or a hair band
- A tiewrap
- 700 ml of hot water
- Brood for enoki (at least 150 gram per breeding bag)
- 1 or more growing pockets
- Hardwood pellets (500 grams per grow bag)
- Wheat branch (100 grams per breeding bag)
- Instead of the bags, pellets and wheat seal you can also choose ourready-made masters mix
Roadmap
- Put the pellets and 700 ml of water in the container and mix them together.
- Add the wheat seal as soon as everything is well mixed.
- Now mix all the ingredients well.
- Fill the breeding bag with the mixture just above the filter strip.
- Fold the remaining "flap" around the filter bag and keep it in place through an elastic or hair band to pull the bag.
- Sterilize the bag for at least 45 minutes in a high -pressure pan, autoclave or Steam Cooker.
- Let the bag cool down to room temperature for at least 8 hours after sterilizing. Let cooling longer reduces the chance that the culture will fail.
- In a clean place, for example a countertop that is well cleaned, add the breeding to the breeding bag. Shake this well so that all the breeding is spread through your mixture.
- Now close the bag at the very top with a tiewrap and put it in a dark place at 22-25 ° C, for example in the room where the boiler is located.
- As soon as the contents of the bag have become completely white after about two weeks, the Enoki is ready to grow. Now put the bag in a lighter place at 10-12 ° C. This triggers growth.
- Remove the Tiewrap. As a result, the Mycelium suddenly gets oxygen and you create a place where the Enoki wants to come out.
- You will see small Enoki appear from the hole within approximately a week. In the following days they will mainly increase in height.
- Once the Enoki has reached a good height (approximately 10 centimeters) it is time to harvest. Do this in time, because if you wait too long, they will dry out.
Enoki growing in bottles/pots
Supplies
- 1 or more clean pots or bottles with wide neck (including lid)
- Latex gloves
- 500 grams of straw (per bottle/pot)
- Brood for enoki (100 grams per bottle)
Roadmap
- Cook the straw for at least 45 minutes in a (quick boil) pan.
- Drill a small hole in the lid. You can also hit a hole in it, for example with the tip of a tin opener.
- Also cook the bottle/pot and the corresponding lid.
- Drain the straw one night in a colander.
- Mix the breeding and straw together in the pan. Make sure that large lumps are crumbled.
- Put the mixture in the bottle/pot and fill it up to 2 centimeters below the edge. You can press the straw a bit. Then put the lid on the bottle/pot.
- Place the bottle/pot in a dark place at 22-25 ° C, for example in the room where the central heating boiler is.
- As soon as the contents of the bottle/pot has become completely white after about two weeks, the Enoki is ready to grow. Remove the lid and now place the bottle/pot in a lighter place at 10-12 ° C. This triggers growth.
- You will see small Enoki coming up within around week. In the following days they will mainly increase in height. Make sure they do not dry out and spray a fine mist above the breeding bag 2-3 times a day.
- Once the Enoki has reached a good height (approximately 10 centimeters) it is time to harvest. Do this in time, because if you wait too long, they will dry out.
