I'm curious how many of you found success and satisfction on your first grow. I would also be benneficial to me to know what curcumstances you grew under, i.e. in partnership, in parents home, with help of experienced grower...ect. ~peace~

if you follow the pf tek or mmgg you will have success, if your a newbie DONT deviate from the tek, you'll have success, its when you do it half assed you dont, if you do 12 jars and follow the tek to a T and are very sterile, you will be successful.

My first attempt at growing was a success, although I had hoped for a larger yeild. It was grown in my room in my parents house. However I did not have to sacrifice anything to keep it hidden since my parents were okay with it. If I hadn't been able to have tis freedom I doubt I would have fared as well as I did. Like everyone else said, follow the teks to the letter and keep things sterile. Don't try any experimentation on your first attempt. Good Luck.

My first try was emberassing... I didn't ready any of the teks. My friend just gave me real streamlined instructions (he was a newbie too). I think I put vermiculite on the bottom half of the jar and birdseed on the top half, filled it to the top with water and microwaved for awhile... shot spores in and was dissapointed with the results. Once I found out about all these teks and help forums it came pretty easy.

NGC, please elaborate, as I am soon to begin crop in my room, but, w/o the support of my parents......I may tell my dad though. Anyways, what exactly do you mean, how did that effect it?

Once apon a time, Mario wanted to grow magic mushrooms in the magic mushroom kingdom. King Koopa offered some advice to the fat little Italian plumper: GET A PRESSURE COOKER OR I WILL KIDNAP PRINCESS PEACH AND TAP DAT ASS!!!!. Now follow the PF Tek to a tee using the 1/8 cup brown rice recipe. DO NOT USE THE 1/4 CUP RECIPE UNLESS YOU PLAN TO CASE. The end.

My very first attempt ended up with about 8 mushrooms of decent size (about 3-3.5 inches tall quarter sized caps, not bad for a first attempt), all covered in green mold. I was using the poor mans terr. and I didn't fan as often as I should've leaving me me saddened by the end. My second attempt I did a lot of variation, not a good idea being as inexperienced as I was, but I came out with a little over 3/4 of an ounce. I was pretty happy, but all the mushrooms just disappeared. I dunno where they went
