Re: Easiest way to grow? [Re: diegotheslinger]

I started watching the http://www.mushroomvideos.com/BRF-Pf-Tek video's, and they are very dumbed down!

Few questions:

Is there an alternative I can use to vermiculite?

How do I go about cleaning my "Wild Spore Prints"? (IF you post something about agar please explain what that is!)

This is all I have for now. I will continue to watch the rest of the videos on that site, and will also do some more research on here and on google for the BRF Tek.

Seriously, put a little work into it.  We've given you links to the newbie stuff that if you spend just a little time you'll know WTH agar is.

And as was said in the first reply, use the search engine.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/dosearch.php?where=body&tosearch=both&how=all&words=%2Bvermiculite+%2Balternative&limit=25&forum=f2&sort=r&way=d

Just start reading through the Getting Started and Grow links already posted in this thread.  A couple of clicks and you'll see that jeeeez...

Alright, sorry for the dumb questions. I am just still getting used to the layout of the site, etc.

Thanks for the patients guys,

Yea, I am super tired ATM. So I am going to plan to finish these videos tomorrow!

However, I do feel good because I learn several things today. I found some alternative's to verm (with the help from you guys!), and most of all started/learned how to start this amazing journey of mine!

Also just to let you guys know, and you guys can warn me if this is a bad decision or not. I am going to use Popcorn and Cow Manure, instead of BFK.

Questions:
1.Is that method trust-able?

alot of ppl will bitch and moan popcorn isn't worth using, but in my personal experience, its perfectly fine an works well.

my only reason for switching from popcorn to wbs is its a bit cheaper, and easier to prep

The Let's Grow Mushrooms videos are dumbed down for a reason. He knows his target audience will think they can outsmart proven teks by tweaking this a little or adding some of that. Truth is, what he teaches is the way it should be done (at least to begin with to guarantee success). You CAN NOT, I repeat, CAN NOT screw up if you do everything exactly like the videos. The worst that can go wrong is you get a bum spore syringe and nothing happens, or you get a bum spore syringe and everything contaminates.

I can see by your choice of popcorn you are already leapfrogging the BRF tek for your first grow and it probably won't turn out the way you expect, unless you are really lucky. BRF is a good starting point because the materials are cheap, it teaches you techniques you will need in the long term, and it's the shortest method from spores to fruits.

Baby steps man, baby steps.

Thanks for the link, I found a Popcorn Tek last night...
Popcorn TEK

But the one you provided is much easier (dumbed down), and I will  be using that! :laugh:

One question thought (and I am sure I can find it SOME WHERE, but I have googled and searched here for it and have not found a answer!). What does "PC" mean, I will use it in a sentence:

"Now go and load your jars and pc for 1.5 hours" (Yes I stole this sentence from the tutorial, lol).

some people get by once in awhile steam sterilizing grains, but its not recommended, and it has a high failure rate

check out thrift stores, or goodwill, stuff of that matter, or talk to your parents/grandparents almost guarentee they have one laying around


as far as thrift stores or goodwill you can usually find PC's pretty cheap..

if you're going to stay in this hobby and succeed in it, you're going to have to get a PC
