Hey guys, long time no chat. Been super busy with life lately. Anyway I was wondering if any of you have any experience with the CALI 1 Step Easy Deluxe Mushroom Kit?
I am looking at buying one and would like any input you guys could give me about it, I am hoping at least one person here as used one of these kits or has a friend that has used one. I would really appreciate any first hand info or any opinions you experts out there can give me. Here is a link to what I am talking about.
non sponsor link removed
Please let me know what you think of this kit or if you know of a better less expensive setup that will produce large quantities please let me know about that too.
Thank for your time, it's much appreciated,
Nerotik

Start by watching the PF tek here: www.mushroomvideos.com
then, start by Using The Search Function here: www.shroomery.org
Now, read, read & read until your eyes bleed.
Then, read some more.
Next, go buy your supplies & obtain a spore syringe or print from a trusted sponsor.
You're just asking for trouble by buying these pre-maid jars. I don't trust how long they keep them nor their sterile tek during it...

Well I usually use premade MycoBags but can't seem to find any for sale at a decent price. I have used many bags before and never had a problem, but I am not sure how well those premade jars will be. Can anyone point me toward a source of premade bags in the 3-5 LB range? I want to knock-up and fruit from the bags like I have done in the past. Thanks guys

mycosupply.com has bags, I havent checked prices in awhile but they are usually reasonable and have very good quality stuff. Plus you are supporting a fellow Shroomery member when you purchase from them.
You might even want to check out eBay
I would steer clear of any kits. They are a waste of money, you can usually find the individual components and piece them together for cheaper than what the kit will cost you. That's why companies make kits.

Yeah but I need a pressure cooker which I have yet to find a cheap one plus one of those bag sealers etc. From what I have seen all that stuff is really spendy

How have you used bags before without an impulse sealer?
You can find cheap PC's a lot of places. eBay, thrift stores, garage sales, ect. I would definitely buy a used one if you can. They usually hold up well. If you can find a cheaper All-American, I would definitely snatch it up.
I remember finding a AA- 41 1/2 qt. for 180$. I used it for a couple years then resold it for 240$

But I have been told the PF Tek has a pretty low yield compared to some other methods like rye berry or bird seed starts being used to seed a cake pan and then casing it. Am I wrong or misinformed? Because I need volume volume volume

BRF per weight yields more than spawned to bulk grain.
It just takes A LOT of PF cakes to equal 1 mono in weight

Ok, well I was toying with the idea of Orissa India, but will PF Tek be able to support suck a massive fruit?

Ok after listening to all your advice (thanks btw) I have decided to go for BRF using 24 1 pint jars. I just hope the BRF is strong enough to keep the Orissa India rooted if I manage to get some monsters from it. I also picked up a a 17 Qt Pressure Canner today with all the accessories for 40 bucks. If anyone has anymore advice for me I would greatly appreciate it. The strains I plan to knock up on this grow (my 4th grow) are Cambodian, Orissa India, Lipa Yai, Australian, Amazon, Ban Phang Ka, Dancing Tiger, Hawaiian, Palenque, and Tasmanian. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks. Does ANYONE have any input on this? Will it work, fail? Anything?
