First time grower. Looking for overseer.
    #10588288 - 06/28/09 07:38 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

My roommate and I are attempting to grow for the first time and we didn't order any kits or anything. we are doing it step by step from scratch. Our spores will get here in the next 2-3 days and then we will begin and post pictures of our every step. we are just looking for someone to follow our post and stick with it for a few weeks and add any sort of advice or tips. we are using the cake method and will begin in a few days.

Thanks much

If you follow the PF tek 100%, you should have no problems. Keep us updated on your first grow.

If you read through the teks your using over and over and follow them to the letter, being very clean and sterile, you will succeed. You Dont need someone to hold your hand, although some one round here may be kind enough to help :smile:

Good luck

Look at the "let's grow mushrooms DVD set". That will set you in exactly the right direction. You can find free clips on youtube and stuff, but having the DVD to put on while doing your stuff is awesome.

I doubt you'll find a single person that will be your "overseer", but I think that's kinda what the whole community does.

You still gotta do your damn homework though. Nobody here is gonna do it for you.

I too am on my first grow using the PF/BRF tek.  The best advice I can give is to always use the search function prior to asking questions.  Most likely someone has asked the same question before.  It's only when you get varying answers that I like to ask the community directly, in the hopes of one of the trusted cultivators providing a solid answer.

www.mushroomvideos.com

and watch the 4 pf tek videos.

I really like pf grows, ive just pulled of a not to bad grow on a budget you will not believe, steam sterilising in a sauce pot which holds 4 jars. Not only does the lid not fit properly it has a hole in the glass lid to let steam escape. I sealed that and also made a seal for the lid so it fitted better.

Anyway. follow the tek exactly and you will succeed. Also be sure to get spores from a trusted sponsor, they will serve you well.

good luck.

Watch them over and over, buy the dvd if you can afford it. 

The best advice I give newbs is to be very careful not to breathe on your inoculations.  Turn your head when you need to breathe out and blow it away from you work.  This goes to being clean/sterile, but I just wanted to emphasize this point.

While your jars are colonizing keep reading.  Hyphae's pinning strategy is a must read for all growers!

Easiest solution to not breathing on you rjars during inoculation is use a glovebox which i always recomend, its cheap simple and very effective. And removes the need to go around blazing they air and surfaces with oust/lysol/bleach etc. Jus tneed to use it in a clean draught free area.

If your inoculating in a small draught free area in open air, you could always get yourself a surgical mask.

Or just not breathe on it. It really is just as easy as it sounds.

I use a glove box and still use oust in the air and wipe all surfaces down with alcohol. Not saying you have to just saying it doesn't hurt. I also wear a surgical mask while working.

When it comes to being sterile I guess there is no such thing as too much overkill.  +5 shrooms for you!

Overly sterile is definitely a good thing. I'm kinda a lazy ass though, but I have few problems. I'm not so concerned about multiple flushes, because the first flush is the most potent. If they contam after that, I don't really care too much:shrug: as long as they get bagged up and pitched right away.

What i meant by removing the need to go blazing with sanitisers, wasnt not to do it, just means you dont need to go empty a can or spray bottle. Still use it just dont need to use as much. Certainly give the air a spray with oust for the air around your glovebox certainly. And keeping your work area wiped down and clean is definatly recomended.

I always recomend to keep your place clean and tidy, not leaving things around that will encourage moulds and bacteria to grow.

I have gotten a bit lazy and my place isnt the cleanest at the moment, i did wipe my table down with bleach, made sure they were no draughts, gave the air inside the still air box to settle, and sued latex gloves which i clean with IPA regularly while working and where long sleeved top thats been freshly cleaned.



If your inoculating in a small draught free area in open air, you could always get yourself a surgical mask.
