Homestead EZ grow mushroom kit
    #15177369 - 10/04/11 05:24 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

im saving up to buy this right now but first i have alott of questions on growing. (this will be my first time growing)
----------------------------------------------------------------

will it come with everything i need?

would it work to grow them in an attic area that has no air conditioning and is real hot?

how good are these mushrooms after they are grown? (potency)

how much will be grown?

when will i know when theyre ready to dry?

does the kit come with a way to dry the mushrooms? if not then i need a technique on how to dry them.

does anyone have any reviews of this kit or the shrooms grown from this kit?

there are some spider webs in my attic area, does it matter if they get on the shrooms after i add the compost?

how do i keep them fresh after drying so i can keep them for a while?

how long does the whole proccess take?
----------------------------------------------------------------

thank you and i know that there are alot of questions but someone pleasse try to answer them

Why would ask all these questions about a product that this website does not sell nore endorse? Kits are also not "Advanced Mycology". If you want the answers to your other questions

Use
The
Search
Function.

Oh and with the $120 dollars that the kit costs you would be able to buy all the supplys you needed to do it yourself from scratch. Also why would you grow them in your attic? Do your parents not go up there often?

In other words, you're asking "How do I grow mushrooms?"

Although you might find a fellow beginning enthusiastic to share their knowledge, these are the kinds of questions you could answer yourself if only you'd put an amount of effort in researching the topic as your asking generous people to put into answering your long list of questions.

Also, you've posted absolutely newb questions in the Advanced Mycology forum. 

With that out of the way, I'll offer the first bit of advice: don't bother with a pre-packaged kit.

:whathesaid:, please use the search function or go the mushroom cultivation section of the main page, or even better watch some of Roger Rabbit's videos.

However, here are your answers:

will it come with everything i need? Need the link to the kit. However, you'll need a spore syringe, sterilized jars of substrate, and a growing chamber.

would it work to grow them in an attic area that has no air conditioning and is real hot? Not well. You want temperatures to be from 60-80*f, with ideal temperatures at 25*c.

how good are these mushrooms after they are grown? (potency) This will depend on the strain that you buy.

how much will be grown? depends on pretty much everything under the sun. Temperature, Free Air Exchange, Relative Humidity, Light, and so much more.

when will i know when theyre ready to dry? Once the veil tears or the caps flatten out. Many people harvest them before that.

does the kit come with a way to dry the mushrooms? if not then i need a technique on how to dry them. Gotta use that search function, most kits will not come with drying materials.

does anyone have any reviews of this kit or the shrooms grown from this kit? Not I.

there are some spider webs in my attic area, does it matter if they get on the shrooms after i add the compost? Don't let anything get in your jars, on your substrate, or in your growing chamber except fresh air that has been filtered.

how do i keep them fresh after drying so i can keep them for a while? Store in a cool dark place.

how long does the whole proccess take? 1-3 months.

If you need to be this stealthy you are better off just buying them from a friend (or just asking!) if you want to trip. If you are at the parents still, this is the best advice I can give you: Be patient and wait until you move out. The key to go growing mushrooms successfully is being patient.

Best of Luck to you

Mack

You need to go here: www.mushroomvideos.com

Watch those videos, and follow the instructions explicitly. Dont cut any corners.

Take your $120 and use it to buy the following items.

Large Pressure Cooker
1/2 pint wide mouth jars
Medium or Fine grade vermiculite
Brown Rice Flower
A large clear storage bin
Perlite

And one spore syringe from one of the sponsors listed here: http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php

If you go with a large pot that you already have, then you can do without the PC. You could be into your first harvest of mushies in 2-3 months for the price of about $50. Though I would recommend the PC.

You may already have a lot of those items on hand. If you have brown rice in the cupboard and a blender for instance, use that for BRF. Check the closets and garage for clear bins. If you have a big ass pot, that cuts down the cost too. Most expensive part is your first spores, and the PC, if you decide to go that route.

Hey OP, forgive the rough treatment....W-junkie just laid it all out better
that I could have.  Do exactly as he suggests, and you will get fruits.

(unless you are at home with parents, then try sclerotia....kidding)

Good luck,

Dude he didn't put one iota of effort into researching anything. And I don't think the underage jokes were all that ruff. I see people on a daily basis get told to use the search function asking one or two of the questions he asked. If someone else wants to do his research for him, they can, but I won't. And the underage jokes were just that jokes.

But you are right, OP should look into sclerotia if he lives at home. But without reasearching that he would probably think sclerotia is some sort of testicular disease :shrug:

It's not worth my time to type out his answers if it's not worth his time to spend 20 minutes reading. Just :2cents:

To explain everything he asked in detail wouldn't save him any time. It would still be a lot of reading, unless you just give him very basic answers.

If you want to learn how to grow mushrooms, here's two pieces of advice to start you off: Stop being lazy, and stop being impatient. Take your time and do something for yourself for once.

I think sometimes when people, mostly the younger crowd, find out there is a possibility they too can harvest their own illegal commodities with a single purchase, get really excited. With this, doing personal research goes out the window. From having zero knowledge about something all the way to the final product of something you created it a massive space for most people. Although I eventually learned more about mycology, I originally purchased a EZ grow kit from a homestead ad in high times. You can save money, yes, but just like everything this was a learning experience. Ordering the kit was simple and shipping was discreet. The spores were included and nothing in addition was needed by the buyer. Since that time multiple sites have been created that offer similar products. The mushbox is one option, another great option for only 50 bucks is a cali grow kit. these are again not everyone's favorite option but for those people who it is good for, we should embrace it....or some shit like that

oh you're right, i was thinking he wanted to buy a 'homestead ez grow amphetamine kit' and then grow it in his parents attic without consent then probably eat the fruits at an age that one should not be ingesting hallucinogens at.

Why would ask all these questions about a product that this website does not sell nore endorse? Kits are also not "Advanced Mycology". If you want the answers to your other questions

Use
The
Search
Function.

Oh and with the $120 dollars that the kit costs you would be able to buy all the supplys you needed to do it yourself from scratch. Also why would you grow them in your attic? Do your parents not go up there often?




:whathesaid:, please use the search function or go the mushroom cultivation section of the main page, or even better watch some of Roger Rabbit's videos.

However, here are your answers:

will it come with everything i need? Need the link to the kit. However, you'll need a spore syringe, sterilized jars of substrate, and a growing chamber.

would it work to grow them in an attic area that has no air conditioning and is real hot? Not well. You want temperatures to be from 60-80*f, with ideal temperatures at 25*c.

how good are these mushrooms after they are grown? (potency) This will depend on the strain that you buy.

how much will be grown? depends on pretty much everything under the sun. Temperature, Free Air Exchange, Relative Humidity, Light, and so much more.

when will i know when theyre ready to dry? Once the veil tears or the caps flatten out. Many people harvest them before that.

does the kit come with a way to dry the mushrooms? if not then i need a technique on how to dry them. Gotta use that search function, most kits will not come with drying materials.

does anyone have any reviews of this kit or the shrooms grown from this kit? Not I.

there are some spider webs in my attic area, does it matter if they get on the shrooms after i add the compost? Don't let anything get in your jars, on your substrate, or in your growing chamber except fresh air that has been filtered.

how do i keep them fresh after drying so i can keep them for a while? Store in a cool dark place.

how long does the whole proccess take? 1-3 months.

If you need to be this stealthy you are better off just buying them from a friend (or just asking!) if you want to trip. If you are at the parents still, this is the best advice I can give you: Be patient and wait until you move out. The key to go growing mushrooms successfully is being patient.

Best of Luck to you

Mack




That is the nicest post that I have seen in a long time.

OP google "Let's Grow Mushrooms video" You can watch them for free. You should watch the one called PF Tek. That is where most noobs begin.

Thats true, the first time I had a successful grow from scratch, I felt accomplished, knowing with just time, a few bucks work of shit, and the right enviroment, I can make magical things can happen, it's a great feeling.

To explain everything he asked in detail wouldn't save him any time. It would still be a lot of reading, unless you just give him very basic answers.

If you want to learn how to grow mushrooms, here's two pieces of advice to start you off: Stop being lazy, and stop being impatient. Take your time and do something for yourself for once.





Not trying to be an ass here.

But you could have typed the same amount of words you just did in that post, but gave cultivation advice instead.

:shrug: Just sayin'...




There's nothing I have to advise him that isn't already laid out for him on the site. :shrug:
