Extra tips would be much appreciated! frist solo grow...
    #14498390 - 05/23/11 10:38 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

This will be my first solo grow. I have helped a friend grow shrooms before, but the result was less than ideal ( less than a dry ounce with 8 cakes, 2 of which got contams )... So I decide to do it right this time.

I've got almost everything I need:
Vermiculite
Perlite
BRF
1/2 pint jars X12
Reubbermaid tub
Gypsum
Small fan & Calcium sulphate ( for dessication )
Silica gel ( to store mushrooms with )
air-tight jars ( to store mushrooms in )
Humidifier/Ionizer
Spore syringes are on the way ( B+ & Ecuador from a shroomery sponsor )
And other things that I've probably forgotten to post ( Really stoned ATM )

I've read a few books on growing mushrooms and have been using the shroomery's search engine for the best part of two months to figure out the best possible methods for n00bs...

If everything goes to plan I'm going to fruit 8-10 out of 12 of the cakes in my FC ( simmply a rubbermaid with a few holes drilled in,and a humidifier, to be fanned 3-5 times a day ) and case the remaining cakes as a bit of an experiment... I think I have a pretty good grap of the basic concepts behind growing mushrooms and was simply wondering if there are any elusive master tips that the hardened shroom vets have for me at this stage. Anything that I might have left out.

Anyway, thank you all for being such a great resource and keeping this wonderful community alive.

peace.

That sounds like a fairly solid plan. In my personal opinion, I'd say spawning the extra 2 cakes to a monobucket or one of Doc-T's hybrid mini-mono-shotguns might get you more results with less work than having to place a tray in the fruiting chamber, but whatever you want to do is up to you. :smile:

Good call. However, two half pint brf cakes is not nearly enough spawn for a mono tub. It all depends on the size of your tub of course, and your personal spawn ratio, but you're going to want to use more cakes.

The Fc I'm using can only fit 10 cakes anyway so I'm completely open to suggestions concerning the remaining two-four cakes, although I was going to just case them I may try a "mini-mono-shotgun" who knows...

Although I'm not looking for optimal results I think two - four spare cakes is a good opportunity to play around with some of the slightly more dvanced methods.
