I think you said a mouthful when you said your situation was a bit more complicated. It boils done to that in most cases. My sitation is very friendly towards growing because people expect it out of me and they know that money doesn't motivate me therefore it must something else and in the case my immediate family they all know what it is, to commune with and better understand my creator. I guess the biggest difference between our situations is not only do I admit to being a user of psychedelics but advocate their use.

Haha yeah, I mean I do advocate the usage of psychs but not when it comes to my own family... they're good christian folk who were raised to believe that drugs were from the devil. If only they knew they could meet potentially meet their jesus in person while under the influence of a large dose of psilocybin.
Me on the other hand, I'm more of an atheist environmental type... I don't give a fuck where I came from or who created me, I just see every living thing as being connected, and that suits me just fine. No need to fret or argue over when or where or how it all began.

Getting back to the topic...
 This is what I plan to use for my FC. As it is their are vents on the top, and I plan to fill the tray pretty much all the way up with perlite. I might poke some holes in the side of the dome, but is it really necessary??
 Here's some plastic self sealing lids I constructed last night. I plan to use grain spawn next batch. I drilled two holes in each lid, put blue silicone in one hole and covered the other with micropore tape.
 Here's a closeup
And just for the fuck of it, here's some pictures of my hydro room! =)

Ya I think that would work for a FC. I can't see how big the vents are... but if you are going for a shotgun, you want holes underneath and on the sides of the perlite and then raise the whole FC a few inches off of the surface it is sitting on - the FAE going thru the perlite is what raises the humidity and lowers the chance of contams from standing water. But whether or not to put holes on the top depends on how big the vents are.

Ohhh ok, that makes more sense now... I didn't realize you put the holes through the bottom for that reason... In that case I have a clear sterlite container I might use, I dunno we'll see. I dont think i really wanna drill holes in the tray since I plan to use it for casing grains later on. Also, the vents on the top are probably about 1.5" across, there's two of em. They can be opened or closed by rotating the little plastic thing.
Anyways thanks for all the help guys! This website is such a lifesaver. I was originally gonna try to grow shrooms just based on the methods I learned from reading the Psilocybin Mushroom Handbook. It's really a great book, but I'm starting to realize that alot of their techniques are outdated or otherwise just not the best methods

Ah yes! I've skimmed over his videos a few times! Definitely a valuable resource. To say that guy is a professional mushroom grower is an understatement lol... Here's video that I like to refer to alot [url=#]Mushroom Growing Made Easy[/url] Pretty in-depth

Haha yeah, I found it searching google videos. Definitely a pretty in-depth video. I watched it a while back and thats what motivated and convinced me to think that I could get into cultivating.Quote:

hmm, some of the stuff on there is kinda outdated though. Dude talked like if you get water directly on your myc youd kill it. Thing is, I spray the shit outta mine full force, like a rain storm would do and I do it several times a day. Can't help but notice lack of dunking either. Another thing I wanted to ask about, he mentioned fruiting crumbled myc a couple times. Technically I can see why that should work but then again it doesn't sound anywhere near optimum. Anyone ever done that?
Still a cool video, not because of tips or facts but because it shows that mushrooms are more forgiving than us newbies think. If you told someone around here you were growing that way they'd probably swear that you'd end in failure, but when that video was shot, that was the way to do it. I doubt the earth's longest inhabitant has changed what it like or dislikes in the past 10 years.

Yeah i agree... It could use some updating but I mainly just like it cuz it takes a straightforward approach and pretty much covers every area of cultivation from sterilization through genome isolation. If nothing else its an excellent video for getting newbs like me hella excited about mycology!!
