Going out of town March 12-16. I am anxious to start my first grow so i was hoping i could start soon. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I was thinking maybe start the process march 1 then inoculate march 2 so hopefully by the time im back my jars will be close or fully colonized, but i dont want to fuck up my first grow so any suggestions?

were you going to do pf tek? if so, just leave them in the jars until you get back from your trip. they can stay fully colonized in the jar until march 16th

If March 1st/2nd is your ideal time to start, you ought to order some spores ASAP. www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php
After you've done that, go ahead and start looking around for good teks. www.mushroomvideos.com are good for BRF / PF tek grows - which would be a good place to start. Lots of newbs start with PF. I did. I still use it, and also am dabbling in grains now. You can make it in this hobby without a PC (Pressure Cooker) as long as you aren't interested in grains.
Read, read, read. Learn, learn, learn. Your easiest entry would be to pick up a dozen 1/2 pint wide mouth jars, mix up some BRF & verm into them, steam sterilize them for 90 minutes. Let them rest for at least 8 hours, inoculate them, and then you can sit and wait for a couple weeks or so.

Suggestions for what?....Different ways to grow?
-------------------- The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

Yea knock them up around the 1st and they will prolly be pretty close to finished when you get back on the 16th... There is not much of a problem to leave a cake in the jar too long... The real problem comes when you birth it too early...

Inoculate them asap. They will take like 3 weeks to colonize, and have another week to consolidate. It's perfect timing. I don't know why everyone is saying march first is good. If you do it march first, they won't even be completely colonized by the time you get back, AND you'll have another week to wait for them to consolidate.

If he follows the tek properly it should only take about 3 weeks with the consolidation period... which will be 4-5 days after he got back...

 even if they are fully colonized you can wait another week or even till they start to pin in the jars

Maybe if your really lucky, but it's much more likely that it will take 3 weeks to colonize. Also, there's nothing wrong with jars sitting fully colonized, it will just start pinning in the jar. It's not like you have to worry about this, so why do it later, and have to wait longer, instead of just do it now, and "risk" having a couple pins in your jars? Some people even let jars pin on purpose before birthing. Waiting 'till march first, or even waiting 'till tomorrow, is a complete waste of time.

I don't know about others, but the more I read on this website, the less shit I give about the pretty names they give mushrooms.
