SIlver Update (Rookie Grow Log)

Ok fellas here we go!!!! I am about to begin my journey into mycology and I am pissing my pants with excitement! I will update as I go (if anyone cares to tune in) Flame, burn, critique as much as your little hearts may desire as I go to improve my rookie mistakes, for I am striving for the top.
(This picture is too big, sorry bout that.)
Update*(6/27) I have now marked an drilled 4 holes into the tops of my lids, taped them, and PC'ed for 45min.
I used RoadKill's Maximum fruiting formula:
1/4 cup of brown rice flour 1/2 cup of vermiculite 60 cc's water
x 4 = 5 wide mouth 1/2 pint jars worth. (THANKS Roadkill)
My jars have been knocked up and are in my incubator.
Unfortunately, it is staying at 88-90 degrees. I am in the process of decreasing the temp. What effect could this have (high temps) on the growth of my jars?
**I do not condone the use or distribution of controlled substance, nor do I practice such activities.

For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna

Hey, Welcome aboard.
Just out of curiousity, how much did your supplies cost ? Not that I really care, but it would be nice when someone asks is it worth $123 for some kit, they could really see how much $123 can get them. Very nice start. Tell more about your game plan.
Good Luck.
Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony. Hippie Chick
Oh, and if you're really serious about this hobby, I'd recommend upgrading to a slightly bigger PC. If you like the Presto, check out the 18 quart. Holds 24 1/2 pints or 7 quarts. About $85 new. Like I said, if you're serious you will be moving to WBS or some type of grain soon and will want to do quarts.

<Sorry for the late update>
-It was about $130 at walmart $40 for the PC -BRF, 50/50 Tennessee Stud/Straw Pre-pasteurized, Verm, Perlite -Strain is B+ and Burma -Need an alcohol burner, Probably make a homade one -TEK... I am still deciding, I wanted to try out the Double-Tub as well as Tub-n-Tub, yet I am very interested in the Single Tub TEK. It has had great flushes in trial runs and with this I could run 4 Fruiting chambers at once (4 Tubs) -PF TEK in 16 1/2pt's, to Case, and fruit at least 4 cakes
Due to a small PC this may take a while, <Question> Can I cool my PC, to remove jars faster and start more, by running cold water over it or will this cool to quickly cutting off the sterilization process?
Hippie-I agree this damn PC is very small and I am already thinking about a new one after my first successfully flush. Is this price you quote from Walmart or franchise store? Also other than WBS what grain do you recommend, or is it as you stated WBS your FAV Thanks for all your support

Yes, that price is from a franchise store. I like WBS because I use it as spawn. If I were going to fruit a grain I would probably use Rye, or a mixture of Rye and WBS.
You can make a cheap burner with an empty baby food jar,
Poke a hole thru the center and roll up some cotton for a wick. Don't really need flame though, I use alcohol now to wipe my syringes.
Good Luck.

I know someone is going to yell at me for saying this.. But yea you can cool it like that. I know someone close to me that might do that
But there is probably a good reason not to....
~Quiescence~
PS. I have the same PC and it is really small. It usually takes me like 5 hours to make a decent batch of jars.

Hey Silverr, A lotta nice provisions there! I'm a noob too and I know what it's like to be "pissing your pants with excitement", Hell we ALL do! Since you DID ask for a critique, I'll throw in my two cents worth about the three MOST important things that you need that aren't pictured here: Patience, reading and using the search feature and.....PATIENCE! The first and third are the most important ones and the second helped me through a lot of rough spots and helped to keep me from getting a lot of *sighs*! Good luck with your first grow and just remember that it'll usually(the odds are in your favor) work out to your satisfaction!!
