Don't use a PMP. And if you do, use geolite and not perlite.

And just follow a tek, willya?

Why not a PMP???  ...and I already purchased a big add bag of perlite. Really not looking to buy more inert layering for awhile... so; what's not ideal about the PMP? It seems to be the closest to ideal option I have read up on thus far.

Poor FAE. An airpump really doesn't move that much air.
And perlite will clog the bubbler, you want geolite.

But if you have perlite, you can make a shotgun FC.
Which is what you actually want in the first place, so win/win.

Well noted... It's just that my job finds me away from home for 36~48hrs, a couple times a week.  The PMP (modified), seemed to facilitate this better.  I'll reread  several of the SGFC TEKs once more.

One again, thanks for the input :-)

Watch Roger Rabbit's video for the one and only Shotgun FC tek.

I agree with Doc. :laugh:The Universe didn't have plastic when it started making the things 100,000,000 million years ago. K.I.S.S...(no offense) keep it simple, stupid- is and should be rule of thumb. I get excited because you're getting excited. THAT'S AWESOME.
BRF, shotgun FC and glass. Cheap, non-digital humidity dial works great.
I have the tendency to "over-analyze" things sometime...and that's a problem for me. My EGO thinks my ass oughta do 500 miles an hour, when my ass just wants to go 5. What happens is you get a speeding ticket from the universe and then it's downhill from there...
KEEP UP THE KNOWLEDGE. "GET yo' learn on, my brother", that's what I say...but really- it's mother nature's call anyway.:sun: Peace out on that one.!:mushroom2:

Don't get me wrong; I strive for simple :-) My ultimate wet dream would be a high-producing mushroom farm totally void of electrical necessity. Or, at the very least, from renewable resources of energy (preferably hydro)
:-)

As we all know; each individuals surrounding and home-specific environments are "unique". My "unique environment" puts me ultra-high on the "contaminate prone" list, lol. Keep thinking; "...danger! Danger, Will Robinson, danger!" LOLz

Thank you all for the advice and encouragement... BTW; I've had several pages of RR's website saved for a couple weeks now. His videos are fun to watch and the writs done quite well :-)

I would start reading up on the log growing section in the copy of mycelium running you bought then; if I were you.

I will eventually, if all goes well, be doing outdoor crops. We've got lots of Alder and Madrone here for feeding mushrooms :-) Myrtlewood seems to be on their menu as well (by observation). Grain-to-bulk is on my hopefully near horizon :-) It'll be a slow and ever evolving sort of thing. My budget is pennies, so its build-your-own cheap but highly functional... Fortunately; there are many I have the opportunity to gleam from, woot!

Truly!...  I've skimmed through the book and flipped around a bit as reverence by earlier chapters and for looking up species and terminology; but of actually reading, I'm only a third of the way through it atm.

I'm kinda new at this too, and you've mentioned contamination issues several times.
If you're cakes are sterilzed properly and practice the "still air" method with you're IC then there are no worries. (Unless the syringe is contaminated). Make sure your cakes are 100% colonized before fruiting. The DNA has securely finished it's mitosis by then.
Too much humidity? then fan more. That's about all I've got, bro.
Good luck, Horizon! Take some pic's when the lil' pinheads are done...would love to see them.:thumbup:

Thanks; and I appreciate the looking out for me :-)
In this case; I did mean species, not strain: oysters, turkey tails, morels, sponges, psilocybes, etc :-)

I'm a looong way off from being setup to do prints. However; ill want to be stupor prints, agar, G2G, etc; asap, via a flowhood.

A flowhood is not magic, it's a piece of lab equipment that requires exact technique. They're nice for some things, overkill for other things.
