Hello I am new to growing mushrooms haven't even undergone a grow yet but from what I read and see I know I'm gonna love it, I already grow MJ now I wanna get my feet wet in sum shrooms.I have been reading tons and tons of info for growing for awhile now and I feel im ready to start growing soon and when ever I get spores anyways i wanna do an lc right off the bat and turn those 2cc into 100cc then from there i am gonna go with OZZ's WBS & horse poo method (http://forums.cannabisculture.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1480354#Post1480354) so hows that sound for a beginner plan? o ya i already made a diy glove box :-)

I think starting with bulk is a great idea for those who are motivated. The tek you mention looks alright.
Make sure you have your culture and spawn techniques well planned out as that is the most likely source of contams. I don't use a glove box. I get by using injection ports for both the culture and spawn. My journal is a little unorganized, but my LC and spawn techniques are in there.

People will say to start with the PF tek but do whatever you want. If you are a really good indoor MJ grower then you already have experience with a tedious growing process. Mushroom growing is a whole 'nother animal though.....but easier than it seems. I started off with WBS and PF tek at the same time and I'm having success with both....The big difference (besides everything) is that with MJ growing most mistakes are fixable within the same grow....With mushroom growing if you fuck something up you will have to scrap it all most of the time and start over. Starting a mushroom grow is alot cheaper than starting an indoor MJ grow too....Start with a spore syringe if you can get access to one. Sounds like you have done your reading but probably not enough. While an LC can be great it is faulty. With LC's you won't be able to tell 100% if your culture is good until you inoculate some jars, because some contams look identical to the mycelium you want in the solution.....If you want to multiply your syringes than do a GLC, grain liquid culture......But my advice is to use the syringes to inoculate some WBS or BRF jars just to get the hang of sterile procedures because you will need the experience when attacking an LC of any sort....

if you're gonna do LC FFS do a test jar and see if that colonizes without contamination. Before inoculating everything else. Other than that LC is a great way of stretching out you're syringe with little effort.

I would inoculate a grain jar and multiply your stock by GTG transfer. You can inoc 12 jars with a 10cc syringe and multiply from there.

Once you do get your PC and some jars of wbs spawn look into G2G transfers to help expand your live culture.

How is that he doesn't even have the spores yet, so there no way to tell if its good cause it doesn't exist yet.

"Stupid cali laws" id kill for your laws lol but that does blow that u cant get spores. But hey, atleast u can get an id card to grow and smoke buds

A generous private trade from one of the nice people here on shroomery will suffice, if there is someone her that is willing to take the risk. It's not like they know what is in the envelope that one is sending. Make friends.
