I have to say this is the best shit going on, on the net. My questions is, how well does the shotgun terrarium work. I know it seems like alot of work but it pays off in the end.

well a lot of people have success with it but its a beginners process if you end up fruiting from cakes it wont give you the same yield as bulk. not that there hasnt been exceptions. if you feel you are still uncomfortable with the bulk process do something you think you can handle so you dont waste your time. shotguns look pretty simple and your right they do require a lot of work, i think its more for beginners who dont have access to all the bulk equipment yet.

I suggest you invest in the bulkier yields. I'd get old of the shotgun's puny harvests

Now tell me what is that, stealing individuality

search and look into mono tubs. they are a cheap and easy way to grow a lot of mushrooms.

monotubs or dub tubs are just as easy as doing cakes, if not easier. search em up, large_dose has a monotub tek and a pasteurizing coir tek. you just mix full y colonized grain spawn into a bulk substrate. then fill the bottom of a tub, or smaller trays to put into the big tub. if using smaller trays you can get nice humidity from a layer of perlite in the bottom of the large tub.

I'm gonna have to say definitely go the shotgun route if it's your first time. If this is your first stab at it and you want to get some guaranteed fruits quickly make some half pint brf cakes and throw them in a shotgun. You may not get the same yields as bulk but at least get some experience and fruits so you can enjoy them. Than definitely move on to bulk/monotubs

I'm talking any bulk substrate,grains to spawn,choose your fruiting chamber that suits you,I used to love my greenhouse the best,some people like tubs better.There are many things to try do many things and find out what suits you

yep heres what ive got goin
i bought stuff for both mono tubs and greenhouse the tubs i buy at big lots also good for making incubators bought fishtank heaters at wal mart for 20$ each
bought a vicks humidifier on ebay for 25$
greenhouse with 4 tiers on ebay also for about 40$
jars i buy at publix for about 10-12$ for a 12 pack of half pints or quart jars
bought all my spores at sporeworks.com bought some myco bags from themadseason.com and i bought the rye grain/berries(samething) at a whole foods place to make my own rye jars
im basically trying everything at once
ive also make some liquid cultures following this process which really really grow fast i couldnt even figure out if it was cobweb or mycelium becuase it grew so fast after inoculating it with LC i made of costa rican strain. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Forum2&Number=5238137&Searchpage=1&Main=5238137&Words=+_OttO_&topic=&Search=true#Post5238137
as for my setup for my greenhouse im putting them into lasagna trays that im spawning the jars and grains from to horse poop which i got from my mom who brings it home for me.
this is the tek im using for the horsepoop http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=logs&Number=723303&Searchpage=3&Main=723303&Words=Roadkill&topic=&Search=true#Post723303
i think that about covers it

Wow I handed out two 5 mushroom ratings in one thread,I'm liking the shift in mindset here.I doubt it will last and is probably a fluke but it sure as hell is refreshing not being the only one bashing cakes for Newbs

just for the record if you make a greenhouse and you buy a vicks cool mist get this kind 
and according to RR you wont need to buy an ultrasonic for the greenhouse as long as you keep that thing on the bottom with plenty of room between it and the trays. run it on and off for about 2-6 minutes each 15 minutes off while also having a hole or flap open for circulation of fresh air.

Your more than welcome,and don't feel bad everyone tries cakes because everyone else tells them that they have no choice and that they will fail if they try anything else,so they try if find out it sucks and than give up..At least your still here to do something else and not just like "Are you fucking kidding me,I did all that work for THIS  "
