First grow ever
    #11026679 - 09/09/09 11:08 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

This is my first grow attempt. After watching plenty of PTFK videos and reading about growing mushrooms I feel the time is right to start growing. I went to Wally World and picked up the following supplies

12 wide mouth 8oz canning jars
2 lbs brown rice (ill make flour using blender)
8 dry quarts perlite

they were out of vermaculite so ill be heading back to the store to get that and other supplies... ill post more later

Welcome to the slow-paced world of the amateur mycologist! Be prepared to loose all your hair, have to stay home when the rest of the family is going on a cool vacation and discover EXACTLY how many of your children you are going to have to sell to get a decent microscope.

Have fun!  :cheers:

i've been using clorox bleach spray, but i saw someone say that oust makes an air sanitizer that works better, it's more of a vapor than a mist and sits in the air longer to sanitize better, check out monstermitch posts here on shroomery, he has a pimp glovebox tek and monotub tek. i can't stop reading this site, there is tooo much to learn hahaha.

The original Lysol, (that grandma used), works well.

Perlite is cheap, I'd get whatever goes for a medium bag. Alcohol is a must. A nice heavy pan for the PF Tec. You'll probably end up getting: a pressure cooker, lights, aluminum foil, dehydrator, a divorce, micro-pore tape, the list just keeps growing.

:shrug:

oh yea,

this site here is the one you probably should be ordering extra gear you might need from,if you are worried... you can use a mastercard gift card to pay for your items on their site as long as you do it thru paypal i believe, and you do not need to make a pay pal account.
