First Grow!!
    #13975403 - 02/16/11 07:25 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

About to start my first grow, just waiting for the spores to come in the mail! Once things start coming along i plan on posting lots of pictures :smile: :eek:  i plan on using the PF tek method with also dunking and rolling after every flush, should i dunk before the first flush? and for fruiting i have half gallon canning jars to put the cakes in ontop of 3 inches or so of perlite. I also plan on adding gypsum and flower pollen to the substrate. any advice?

tall enough to have 4-5 inches of perlite, and your cakes and a few inches to allow your shrooms to grow..

This tek includes a video guide to the PF tek, including instructions on making a SGFC.

Dunk and roll initially, only dunk for subsequent flushes

The hardest part is keeping the lighting discreet.

Under your bed is really not a good place to grow mushrooms. Most contaminants float around under 2 feet. If your fruiting chamber is on the ground...you're inviting contaminations. If you need to grow stealthily, you ought to consider a sclerotia producer.

If you're living arrangements (whether it's friends or parents is irrelevant) are not ideal to growing shrooms, you could be seriously putting your friends/family at risk, and ought to reconsider growing. You would be better suited to growing in your closet (though still not ideal).

If he was trying to build a clean room that would be important information but for fruiting chambers it's not that big of a deal. Using self healing inoculation port lids would lead to a greater reduction in contams than high in the room v. on the floor. Subs are most vulnerable to contamination when they are un-colonized. It's said by RR that 90% of colonization problems happen before spawning/birthing.

I have a strange bed so the underneath is actually quite spacious and cut off from anyone being able to see whats under there, my question now is, is it really necessary that i get lights? could i just give it some indirect light for 4 or so hours a day? if i should get lights could someone direct me to a guide on lights?
