HELP!!! First Time Growing - (Psilocybe Cubensis Cambodia)
    #10326472 - 05/12/09 10:01 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Hey everybody! How's everything going? This is my first time posting on this forum and I'm actually seeking advice on how to grow Cubensis Cambodia.

From the research I have done. The Cambodian strain is a fast growing strain. Am I correct? Also... I've never done anything like this before... so please... all the help you can give would be widely appreciated.

So far this is what I have:

- pressure cooker: operating at 12 psi; I thinks its 4.0 l???
- 12 1/2 pint mason jars
- brown rice flour and vermiculite (getting vermiculite today)
- a plastic container; to put inoculated rice cakes in
- and a spore syringe that should be coming in this week
.

I would like to create a huge yield; maybe a few pounds of this cubensis. But, I don't feel like I have the right equipment... Nor do I have the funds...

Do you guys have any suggestions and/or methods that can produce large yields, without sacrificing too much funds.

Also... would it be possible for someone here to guide me through this to gain the best possible results?

Thanks guys! Hope to here from your replys.

start small and work your way up. trying to grow a mass amount your first time is a huge mistake that i learned the hard way.

Definitely go with the PF Tek for your first couple grows, then when you have massive amounts of spores move on to bulk. Research WBS and Rye Berry teks.

I read Cambodian's were really fast but I did half Cambodian's and half B+ and the B+ is a little faster for me anyways.

First off, welcome to shroomery.

Let me help by pointing out some missing items/flaws.  You will need perlite and/or a spray bottle (both found anywhere with a garden center) in order to keep humidity up in the fruiting chamber (commonly referred to as a FC). 

Second regardless of you goal of "a few pounds" being wet or dry, I really doubt you will be able to accumulate that much with just those 12-1/2 pint jars.  If you would like to reach that goal with minimal funds used, I recommend you do a "bulk grow" with either horse poo or coir.  But do not do that yet, this first grow is when you are going to learn most of what you need to know.  For instance what healthy mycelium smells/looks like, what contaminated jars look/smell like, etc.  FYI good jars should either smell like the materials you started with or as it matures, it will produce a real earthly, wet smell; never a sweet, sour, or fermented/spoiled smell.

There is too much advice and material to go over in one post, let alone one thread.  Just keep reading the forums, keep reading teks, and look for videos. 

http://www.mushroomvideos.com/ - This is a series of videos made by Roger Rabbit (RR) and is invaluable to new and intermediate growers.  If you read something or hear something that contradicts what he says, chances are you should take RR's advice.

I'm new at this two but of the 3 strains i have going  (B+ Golden teacher and Malaysian Sp) the B+ are the fastest

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

if you dont already know then you dont know what you are doing yet. do a  few cakes spawned(pasteurized coir) to trays in a shotgun terrarium. this would probably give you a better idea about what a bulk grow is all about. your going to want to do A LOT of reading and def.
check the link in my sig. first.
massive amounts of mushrooms CAN be done for FREE once you are set up properly and you know what you are doing.
e.g.
dont try riding a chopper if youve never been on a mini-bike;)
good luck
def. learn how to use the search func. strive for simplicity.
-im still riding a motorscooter but i hope to have a custom harley by next year!

in regards to humidity and maintaining temperture... I was thinking of placing a heating pad under my plastic box, with water filled in the box, and the cakes proped up with some wire mesh. Sounds like a good idea?

No a breeding ground for all sorts. You shouldnt heat a terrarium directly.

If you cant get perlite, then i would maybe suggest doing mini double tubs. with cakes crumbled and cased. Im going to be testing it soon to see how well it works before i try coffee and newspaper

wow thats interseting! explain the reason why you would use coffee and newspaper?
sounds cool and inexpensive

cakes crumbled and cased alone sounds like a waste of time if you are going to crumble them why not mix them with some bulk sub and double your yield
1:1 ratio = doubled yield
1:4 ratio = quadrupled yield
1:4 seems to have a really high success rate

or mabey thats what you meant veda

Yes i know thats interesting, i always say dont crumble and case. But if you dont have perlite to fruit them in, then a minitub tub should work fine, but id agree spawn to bulk, just really depends of the OP wants to spend more money on supplies.

I want you to understand that I mean this in the nicest way possible, but if you are asking these types of questions you still need to do your basic readings.  Start with the faq, read it twice, and then go from there.
