Growing for the first time.
    #14746196 - 07/10/11 03:13 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Okay, I have been hunting P. Cubensis for quite a while, and I've decided to give cultivation a try, seeing as they'll be out of season soon. I've been researching it for some time now, and I think I'm ready to give it a go. I've looked at several different teks, and everyone says the best one for beginners is the PF tek, but I'm kinda short on cash (I'm a student) and I've decided to grow on a liquid culture of honey and water (I read about it here ) from a spore print I'm making on a sheet of aluminum foil. Can anyone give me some tips? I've read the documents on this site, I just thought it might be helpful to ask what you guys think. So, any advice?

i dont think your spores will be clean enough to use in a water/honey LC

they might have an easier time on agar.

or a brf/verm substrate.

grains even...
but not sugar water.

Oh, I didn't know that. How do you go about growing on Agar?

By transferring spores to agar using "sterile" procedures. i.e. still air box, flow hood....

lots of info on this site.  Read a bit and you will get tons of information.

Easiest way to start is to get a "clean" spore syringe from a sponsor and try the PF tek.

If you have found fresh cubensis, go right to tissue cloning on agar.
Watch RR's videos, it's really not all that hard: http://mushroomvideos.com/
Once you have a clean culture, you can make grain spawn.

I don't have a pressure cooker. And I've thought about cloning before, but does that mean my spore print is useless (I'm not going to use it now that you said cloning would be easier, but I've read on here about people trading their spore prints, so I thought I'd ask).

You'd need a pressure cooker to use a wild print, so go get one at a thrift store for ten bucks.
and they make great trade items, people love wild spore genetics.

I'd recommend just getting the spore syringe from someplace online (a nice SPONSOR retailer) and scrapping/scrounging all you can. I'm a college student and that's what I did, so far, it's worked out quite fine.
