These Plug Spawn comes complete with user-friendly instructions. All strains grow & fruit in a wide range of climates.
Plugs may be refrigerated for up to 6 months before use. Approximately 100 plugs are needed to inoculate 3 logs 4 – 6 inches in diameter and 3 to 4 feet in length.
The best times for cutting the logs are either in the winter months for spring inoculation or after July 15 for mid-summer or fall inoculation
We suggest you cover the plugs with the cheese wax
