No attempt at a G2G. I don't like to open the bag until I'm doing the first harvest.

I inoculate the popcorn layer with about 90-120mL of hot/fresh growing LC. No need to worry about over wetting, all the coir/castings under the corn soak it up. I always move the needle around a lot, soaking the top layer of corn and getting plenty to drip down the sides of the bag. 60mL syringes are our friends.

The popcorn runs FAST. Usually 4 days at 86F. After mixing, the nugget is usually done in another 5-6 days (depending on volume). I start giving 'em light after day 3 if they are past 80% colonized.

And it takes 'em a little longer, but I don't do any squeezing for fresh air exchange. I love those friggin' filter patches. They are a thing of beauty.
