The things people do for their grow that are a waste of time/money
    #11676286 -

Here's the beginnings of list of things that I've read in the forum that aren't really necessary or involves excessive expense. Please add your own!

  • Drying out rain leeched manure right before rehydrating it.

  • Trying to find lights with just the right color temperature.

  • Automatic moisture delivery or FAE for a small grow. I myself fell into this OTT solution for just 9 cakes. Even though it was successful I soon reverted to manual methods with greater yield. Now the timers, air pump and fogger are gathering dust, £70 wasted.

  • Using anything other than tap water.

  • Trying to find PF jars (in the UK anyway)

  • Trying to find hardwood chips when any old mixed stuff will do.

  • Buying spore syringes of the same species more than once.

:thumbup: great job. great job. the last one for sure. "trying to find PF jars" (in the US too) pointless. another one i want to add is...buying organic brown rice and blending it yourself for PF jars. i thought that i would get better results and not once have i seen better results than just buying organic brown rice flour

Just use manure and gypsum for the PF tek. Manure is free. No need to spend money on brown rice flour, its expensive. You dont even need verm. You'll get bigger mushrooms and wont cost anything.

Ahhh but since I moved on from PF I'm drinking wine from one right now.
You'd look silly drinking wine from a jam jar.

You only say that because your country has no jars. :sadyes:

I'm sipping vodka and Sprite from a jam jar right now. Tastes great!  :cheers:

Lysol/oust and hygrometers are unnecessary.

Buying rye berries by the pound is a little expensive.  When you buy it by the bag it is as cheap as birdseed.

I used Tyvek sleeves for working inside my glovebox but  buying a box of shoulder length polypro gloves at the Feed & Seed is cheaper.

Buy large size bottles of 70% rubbing alcohol, micropore tape, h202 (for battling dactylium), and nitrile gloves at a drug store and save a few bucks over the grocery store prices.

Be picky about how much you are paying for bulk substrate ingredients.  Folks that are paying for manure, or buying straw at a pet store are being ripped off. ~P~

Isn't that what you guys call 'redneck'?

We got tons of jars, it's just none of them are tapered except for a particular expensive foreign fancy jam one. With a gay lid.

Why would you say a hygrometer is unnecessary? The $3 hygrometer I'm using, while inaccurate, has been very useful in telling me if what I'm doing is lowering the humidity too much.

I got some of those shoulder length sleeves too and I think I'm going back to using rubber gloves because the plastic fingers on the sleeves are so sloppy.

To be edgy and controversial.

I always wear nitrile gloves over the top of the polypro gloves for this reason.  ~P~

id say a glovebox is a waste considering i never use one and rarely if ever get a contamination and a buddy of mine who has one gets a contamination most of the time... also anything electrical not including the stove of course.. a mask.. throwing away a jar or tray because a contamn showed up..
