He was referring to Doc_T.  Anyway, look no further than the PF tek.  You can steam sterilize with a normal stove pot; you don't need a PC when doing the PF tek.  It is a great way to learn the basics too.  I actually think monotubs are easier, but that is just my opinion.

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



Alright, I will look into purchasing one of these! Because I am very much interested in this hobby, also are there any TEK's that do not acquire a PC, if not I will try the popcornwithout one and try with steam sterilizing and hope for the best! Or I might consider doing the PF Tek, seems good to me :laugh:

Can you afford to throw your money away?
If you're poor, do it right the first time.

I'm done with this thread. If you won't follow the advice you've been given, you deserve whatever you get.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

I Agree with Doc T. As someone said (however such facts do not often surface or are shown in ways that tell of its nature) "this is a expensive hobby" and that is very much true. You can get away with doing it cheap but there are a lot of possible obstacles that may have to be climbed. I only have some small experience and I think I have been lucky most of the way but so far the stuff set me back more than 500$ and this doesnt include consumption (verm, perlite etc etc) and one-use items such as the medical grade needles (15 dollars for 10, incl syringe) and so on and so on.

I dont feel that I can give much advice (Hell I am not Obi Wan Kenobi) but what I can say is this. That I am sure of.

Learn every step in both theory and practice. The first time I tried, I stood over my stove and basically fake prepared jars just to practice the steps. Believe me you will need it, it'll make the process flow easier and you wont stagger around wondering what to do next. Think of it as routine.

Learn the theory (this is equally important) behind whats going on and keep a close eye. Write stuff down. Make a picture library or a guide book for yourself (I did) That way you dont have to scroll like a mother****er through millions of pages later searching for that one piece of info that relates to the step youre on..

And finally; think of it as a routine..step one..step two..much like kung fu and learn in the same way...

And finally in the words of the chinese restaurant owner of the Simpsons..(god I love that guy)

Thissaaa Waaayy..yooo will masster the art of mussshrrooom groowing in no time..haha..hahahaha...:P

I disagree with the above sentiments.  Growing mushrooms is cheap and easy.  If you can cook and exert a little patience, you can grow mushrooms.  They really grow themselves. 

Rye grain: $10
Coco coir: $15
Verm: $15
Gypsum: $5
Monotub: $10
Quart Jars: $15
Silicone: $5
Tyvek: Free
Lighting: $20
Spores: $15

All of this for a little over $100 assuming you have a PC.  You can pick up 4 quart 10 psi PCs at Wal-Mart for $40.  You could even get better deals at yard sales, thrift stores, etc.  Also, the prices I listed will provide you with enough material to do multiple bulk grows with GRAINS.  PF tek is even cheaper.
