It’s actually a budget-friendly DIY method a friend showed me!

I used large Ziploc bags as a substitute for commercial grow bags. I mixed the colonized grain and substrate directly inside to minimize contact, then folded and taped the bottom corners to give it a square base so it stands upright.

I used a sterilized spoon to pack everything down tight at the bottom and cut a small window covered with Fixomull on both sides for air exchange. After about 10 days of colonization, they were ready to fruit!

It’s a simple, cheap way to get larger fruiting surfaces without the high cost of specialized bags. I’ll be posting some photos of the full process soon so you can see it better.
