man, i would have just gotten "mycelium running" if anything, and use the shroomery!
IMO the experience and the trial and error is what makes somebody a successful cultivator. But trivial knowledge certainly plays a part of it all. Hell, it only took 5 years of experimentation, and shroomery browsing for me to get my methods down solid haha
good luck to ya though.

I will be getting started, ASAP. I have spores on order. I really only learn well by doing; not so well by reading. I'll be learning and building as I go. Will probably start with a "PF TEK" to SGFC until I have a "martha" made. At that point, ill probably nocc grain up and then txr to "bulk"; and reserve "cakes" for testing and what not.
Many species to learn. I'm especially interested in oysters, turkey tails, sponge, psilocybe and a few others too. Need to learn a lot about mycorrhizal types for the garden veggies and other crops.
I'm very excited. I've been reading quite a bit these last six or so weeks :-)

That's the one I've been reading, along with Shroomery and search engines, for the past several weeks... The others I just received :-)

I haven't read Mycelium Running but I watched Stamets' TED speech and that whole concept is really interesting....especially how the mycelium can attract insects that attract birds that drops seeds that grow into plants, etc.

Made my very first lids, today :-)
Prototype/test/etc:

...and the rest of 'em:

Here's to hoping I didn't screw up and a successful grow in the near future! ;-)

Well... I have access to a drillpress; which made this about a zillion times easier than a handheld drill would have been... Hope that's not cheating, LOLz.

"Utilize available resources" 
You don't happen to have a gas chromatograph / mass spectrometer laying around, do you?

FYI; to all other noobs!
I didn't have a forstner bit in half inch; so I used a brad-point vortex bit. Long story short; I drove into town and purchased a 1/2" forstner bit. Shortly upon my return, I was rewarded for doing so, with beautiful and clean holes.
Point of story: use a forstner bit; there is no substitute.

"System was PURCHASED NEW FOR $808,700.00."
Used, oughta go for chump change. Now, how do we get grad students who will pay to run the thing for us?

The only thing that gets me weary with a used one is needing someone with a masters in medical physics to calibrate it for us. Plus we will be really screwed if there are any parts missing, or broken. There aren't that many mass spec techs out there,.....
You can definitely score a used one for 20,000 but that could turn into 200,0000 real quick. 
I'm pretty sure if we pool our resources we could pull it off though bro,
 Then we could really get into "Independent Research" ...........
