Good Grow kit for a noob?
#15673736 - 01/16/12 01:51 PM (12 years, 5 months ago) |

So I want to try my hand at making growing my own mushrooms. I have 0 experience in growing fungi although I'm a well seasoned tripper and quite knowledgeable about psychedelics.
I was hoping someone could recommend a good grow kit for a novice cultivator?

for a novice if you want to jump right in and skip all that low yeilding PF bull shit you should order your choice of syringes from a sponsor on here and then oreder a Monotub Fill Kit from Out-grow another sponsor.... look up a monotub tek, you will be very pleased.

Look up the contents of a grow kit on youtube, then make a list of these parts.go to a mega mart that starts with Wall, or has the name of a type of object you shoot a bow and arrow at. Youw ill get all of the parts for about $40. then watcht he 4 part video series on yuou tube called "Lets grow mushrooms!" there you go. Oh, and order your syringes from a trusted source on here. The cost of one kit, you could grow almost 3 times as much using store bought parts. Just my view.

Just to give you some comparison to the kit dude mentioned which includes 3 lbs of rye, and 10 lbs of substrate (manure). I actually weighed one of my quart jars last night and a quart of hydrated rye weighs 1lb exactly and I use 7-10 of them in a tub, and about 30-40lbs of substrate, which seems like a lot but a gallon of water weighs 8lb. So IDK but i imagine you might be lucky to get and ounce or 2 from a kit like that. But my tubs usually put out about 8 oz. So it all depends on how much mushies you really want. If you want to give it a go without a kit, let me know and i can point you in the right direction. Its a little more work, but you get a hell of a lot more out of it.

For one trip, for a couple months, or for the whole year?

really? an ounce or 2? maybe if your growing PE, through what ive heard you can pull 3 off a tub like tht. I have one colonizing right now- good amount for some good trips with a few friends.

i pulled an ounce off 2 small casings- each with 2 half pints of BRF spawned to a 1-3 ratio of h manure. im sure you can get three of a mono kit.

or better yet, if you have a pressure cooker go buy a 3 pound bag of WBS for a buck or 2 and do the same mono tub grow with some crap or coir.

IDK I was just guesstimating. But if you only need 10g's a week I might just go with the kit, it will save you a lot of trouble.

I've recently started growing from scratch.
Pf tek done right was rather helpful. Grow kits are high cost for what they are.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11585613#11585613
and Roger Rabbit's mushroom videos are great too.

Equipment can be bought at most DIY places, and is a worthy investment. Perhaps you could do one or two dozen cakes, a few flushes would give you a good amount and then you can just dry them all and store them for when you and your mates want them.
All the info you need is here on shroomery and http://fsre.nl/ is a good service for getting cheap spores of different strains.
