Mushrooms are not esier to grow than pot, nor vice versa.
However, they are hell of a lot cheaper, take up less space, and you get more yeild per $ spent.

Well here's my $0.02.

Growing pot, even great pot, is the simplest thing in the world if you have a good teacher. For me, the thrill lasted for a week.
With mushies, you have alot more to take into consideration imo.
Sterility, temp, rh, ph, moisture contents, ratio of substrates(in casing teks anyways), sterility, sterility, oh ya, you gotta make sure your work, tools, and work area are really really sterile.
Working clean takes work.

If your pot crop fails, its usually your fault. But with the mushies, you fight an invisible battle with microbes.

Whereas cutting, rooting out, and planting some clones in some dirt is not that hard.

That being said: Microwaving a bag of pre-made substrate and then injecting it with a pre-made syringe isn't that hard either.

Anyways,
I think the best part about mushies is the electricity bill!  :smile:

Amen to that. Even wired for 240V, a couple of thousand watts of HID really spins the old meter.

what is weed?

1) this is not really an educated question. if you're asking something like this, you obviously haven't "MASTERED" growing weed.
considering marijuana growing techniques- soil, soil-less mix, hydroponics, hydro-organic, aeroponics, etc...

i dont wanna step on yer toes, (and i'm by no means calling you out)but unless you've used all these teks and gotten exceptional results... you are only still beginning - not mastering.

but this is nothing but semantics.

2) growing weed IS easy. growing HIGH-GRADE MARIJUANA is -NOT- easy. "WEED" grows itself. it takes time, effort, patience, perseverence and constant self-improvement to get any type of HEADY nuggs.

with that said... there will always be someone who is 3 steps ahead of you, and you should always seek out and heed their advice.

3) growing shrooms IS easy. but, so is making stupid-ass bonehead mistakes. learning from those mistakes is what makes it easy over time. but, hey - i didn't have a teacher. i learned on my own.

same with herb.

3) weed uses photosynthesis
shrooms are photo-tropic.
you grow more bud with more light. shrooms just need light to SEE
which direction to grow.

4) if you're getting "bored" with weed... either your weed isn't that good, OR you just simply need to get some different strains.

i'd like to ask you:
are you growing Indica or Sativa?
Indoor or Outdoor?
Organic or Chem?
HPS or MH?
Seed or Clone?
What type of Mothers are you keeping?
how long have you been growing?

it's easy to grow both ONCE you figgur out what you're doing. such is life...

the best thing you can do for yourself is simply EXPERIMENT.
the fallacy Noobs ALWAYS make is expecting optimum results from your first attmept. it doesn't work that way, unless you have a seasoned grower for a mentor.

5) there ARE alot of peeps who grow shrooms successfully w/o having ever used the original PF Tek. and kudos to them.

i just wanna say this:
until you learn how to mimick nature, and fully understand what the Plant or the Shroom NEED, you'll NEVER FULLY understand them, and you'll never full "master" growing them.

Knowledge and Wisdom are two TOTALLY different things.

6) i'm not trying to be a dick. i just think you are getting ahead of yourself and you need to understand that if you want to master either of both of these hobbies, it's something that is going to take time to PERFECT. that is unavoidable.

7) learn the PF Tek. YES, there are many Higher-Yielding ways of growing, but you have to build up to that (IMO). there is a reason PF REVOLUTIONIZED indoor/clandestine shroom growing. and you NEED to realize this has only been taking place since 1991.

Indoor Pot growing has been going on since the late 1970's and indoor bloodlines (Skunk, NL, etc) have been inbred and stabilized since the early 1980's...

THESE ARE 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.

take it upon yerself to learn what you wanna learn and accept that you may succeed at first - or you may fail and try again.

8) I would give ANYTHING to meet a girl like HippieChick!!! i've avoided saying that, and honestly - i could care less WHAT she looks like. i've NEVER, EVER met a girl like her and i can only HOPE that one day i will.

with that said... growing herb doesnt HAVE to be EXPENSIVE.
my first indoor grow consisted of a closet, a 150 watt HPS lamp from Lowe's ($80), some wiring gear ($10-12), a couple 48" fluorescent fixtures ($15-20 each), and random supplies.
the rule of thumb is 0.5 grams per watt of light...
i've gotten 6+ ounces (per harvest/run) from 150 watt HPS and 320 watts worth of flourescent fixtures (for oomph)

there's no way to determine what you'll get when you grow shrooms, but HippieChick pretty much summed that up for you.

i've spent alot more on growing shrooms, but i've been growing boomers a lot longer and it's been quite some time since i've been able to grow bud.

to put an end to this rant...
you are talking about two different worlds.
neither are hard OR easy, they just take some work and perseverence.
with time, you can succeed at both.

9) you dont have to lie to kick it

10) why can't i find a girl like HippieChick?

10.5) start with the PF Tek. it will cost you the least and if you botch up your first attempt or two, you won't be out much. once you can get a colonized PF jar, you can handle the rest of the teks you'll find here.

I've grown weed, and I'm halfway through my first fungus grow. Both a relatively easy, it just takes patience and research. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Some things you will learn the hard way, but I can say from experience that's the best way.

I have grown mushrooms, never weed.  I would have to imagine that the biggest advantage to mushroom growing is.  Way less space required, basically no odor,  no need for any real lights, the planting (inoculation) to harvest time is just over a month, basically more yield for time, and every dollar spent

Basically, shrooms grow cheaper, faster, in small areas.    Though suppose weed could be cheep to grow if u had a large outdoor garden.

Indoors- mushrooms, outdoors- weed. Hardest part about shrooms, getting the substrate water content right, hardest part about weed, getting the right conditions at the right time for sticky and potent flowers.

Other than that, once you got you spawn done, give them a warm dimly lit damp place and a tasty substrate and you'll get shrooms. Assuming you got good seeds, gave them plenty of water, warmth, good soil, and lots of sunshine and you'll get sticky dank.

In both cases, how well they are cared for during the first stages of life determine the quantity you'll get.

Weed easy to grow? Funny, I just took down my indoor setup for the summer. Unless you're going hydro, don't expect to take any sort of trip or vacation without finding someone trustworthy to watch your shit. It takes 4 months from start to finish. Try to keep an indoor plant growing in the same pot for 4 months without a problem. Not easy. I had a 6ft tent with a 400W HPS and got just enough herb for me and a FEW close friends.

Now I have a 5 tier shelf which takes up no room, little electricity, low maintenance, and makes more shroomz then I know what to do with in half the amount of time.

Take it from someone who has done both with success. Case closed.
