Yeah the cornstarch can make the grains get pretty sticky. Key element to successful WBS prep is getting is clean. I hate WBS for that reason. It takes forever to do that many rinses. With rye I just do 3 or 4 rinses.

Pennington's, I use a total of three rinses. Once to get the floaters, once with a drop of soap, then once to rinse the soap away. But do whatever it takes to get your grains clean, no matter what type or source.

Adding a bit of powdered gardening gypsum to the WBS really speeds up colonization

Alright, sweet. Sounds good. I just went and got a 12 pack of Half Pint Kerr jars, bought them up before taken off the shelf. I'm gonna go to Walmart... and I KNOW I saw WBS at Walgreens the other day, gonna see if it's good and doesn't have the cracked corn like you said. Thanks for all the help. I'm gonna check the price of a PC at Walmart, or somewhere like that as well..
Now.. as far as a syringe goes..? Where do you suggest I get that? And I want a nice... potent strain.. and I heard PE is very potent. I myself have never tried it, but I am extremely experienced in the experience itself.
But anything that grows good will be nice.

That Walgreen's stuff is my second choice. Costs a little more, about $6 for ten pounds. Skip PE and all novelty strains, get something named after a person or place. Dunno about syringes, but you get them with the spores, so you don't need to worry about that right now.

Can't rush quality. But yes. Get the 'surprise me' pack IMO, make sure to mention you are a member here too.

Just order an antique PC from ebay or get one online...you NEED a PC unless you feel like steaming for 3-5hrs and that doesn't work well at all for grains...

i noticed some people suggesting WalMart had supplies you were looking for.
if you go to WalMart, make sure you steal something of value, like nike golf balls or whatnot, return them without a receipt for store credit, and then use that to purchase all your supplies. DO NOT give them your hard earned cash or your entire grow will fail due to bad karma.
also, feel free to take a dump in a urinal while you are there.

Please don't advise people to break the law, even as a joke. And setting some poor wage slave up for a shitty day is pretty lame, too.

I am. At least, I don't commit crimes in public. Certainly not in a store with video cameras.

So... Lowes and Walmart aren't carrying any Verm or Perlite right now, for some reason. And I have never seen Coco Coir for sale anywhere, where do you all get that shit?
And I was checkin' out a PC at Walmart and it's set for 10 psi, how long would you put your WBS in there for? I'm using 1/2 pint jars.
And I checked on the Penningtons, and there was a ton of bags there for cheap. Would the "Gourmet Mix" be the one I want? All the others looked mostly like corn or sunflower seeds. But the Gourmet one had all the little seeds and things like that, very little bit of sunflower seeeds.

Gourmet mix, I think that's it. It's the one without much corn or stuff. They market the same blend in different packaging. Half pints at 10 psi, I'd go 90 minutes, maybe as long as 120. Ace Hardware will have perlite, and they will order verm if they don't have it. But save yourself the trouble, and go to a local garden center, they will have perlite, verm, and coir. All three in one place. Local garden center.

Yeah, I'm looking into local garden supplies right now.
Yeah, I'll probably shoot for 120 just to be certain.
Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it.

rye is pretty freaking easy. if you know how to hydrate rye, and operate a PC effectivley, it's almost stupid-proof.
pftek is harder imo, and more things can go wrong.

... yeah... exactly... A lot of things went wrong with the PF Tek for me...
And I'm not a moron, I understand the concept of it completely. I have already stated this, and I wish people would read completely through a post before posting something like that.
I'm asking for advice, and someone comes on here just to bash me. Pfft.

because it doesnt have a gauge doesnt mean that it is set for 15 psi. I bought a 8 qt presto pc with no gauge, at it was only 12 psi although i still used it the same about of time and didnt go over and everything was still fine
