I also managed to scrape together a small crappy flush before finding the shroomery. I put newspaper on the sides of my cooler, thinking that would help humidity--then searched a bit, found this site, delved into the find/grow and came across many great teks. Truth, it was at a time when I was a little paranoid to post anything. Anyway, here's my suggestion to make this site more 'newbie-friendly'.
The FIND/GROW section has a lot of information, sectioned into 'Mr X's Grow Tek', 'Mrs. Y's Grow Tek', etc. If you put on a 'newbie hat' and go into the grow section, it's HUGE! Almost daunting. Try the search engine with 'humidification'. For me, it's all interesting and I can still read through them all with great interest. It would be easier and quicker for the new person to see a GROW section [NEWBIE section?] divided into the different stages; A button for SUBSTRATE. One for STERILIZATION. CASING. HUMIDIFICATION TEK'S. Each of these could lead into various beginner techniques, graded difficulty?, FAQ's, frequent pitfalls, PICTURES!!!!. . .I think we all know the common problems for the beginning cultivator based on the posts!
And I agree with Lana; It's fun to answer questions and help people out. But the fun wears out really fast when you get the feeling you are not helping someone genuinely interested in investing time and energy, just a quick answer to fast results.
It's not easy, was never meant to be, and if it was--most of us wouldn't be here.
