OMFG Somebody PLEASE HELP ME!

i have wasted 6 jars of rye grain for growing shrooms
. i put them in the pressure cooker unitl the steam starts blowing hard , then turn down to med- lo for an hour. and let it cool and it always comes out to be light brown seeds, not dark brown like all the videos show.


i am tired of messing up what am i doing wrong?
am i over cooking or under cooking them, i have no clue.
pleaseee help

dude they're fine.. did you even try knocking em up? just make sure they're saturated in water prior to sterilization.. i mean rinses, soaks and hot soaks.. water is key to yield thats why dunking is the shit

it doesn't matter what color it is! calm down! your monitor color may be off, anyways. the only reason you want to cook it is to sterilize it so your spores don't get contaminated. just try it again and DON'T throw it away just because it doesn't look like what you saw on a video. you might be using a different kind of seed, or seed that was processed by a different company in a different way. i just put brown rice in a blender until it's as fine as sand, then mix it with moist perlite and put it in a jar. that always works for me, my spores grow well with this method, i just can't keep the mold out. i have only tried the peroxide method, though. i don't have a pressure cooker. i have also heard you can just boil them in a pot with a lid on it, though.

i wouldnt get all excited, just knock em up and incubate at 86 degrees. if it aint broke, dont fix it?

dude wtf cooking? steaming is for sterilization not cooking....

I did the boiling method and it worked like a charm, didn't have to buy a pressure cooker either... hell i didn't even use a glove box and my shit still grew fast, i am waiting for the first flush right now...

sweet thanks a lot everybody ill let you kno if anything happens!!
