so I should buy another storage box and make a shotgun chamber? I think for my first grow ill keep it simple and use what I have... im already replacing the light sorce and I think that the air pump should be enough as long as I keep an eye and fan them like once a day

Yes, you're not going to succeed using what you already know doesn't work well.  Build a new terrarium per the tek, which is shown on the third video segment, but watch all four. 

We've known for many years that air pumps don't supply sufficient fresh air to get all the CO2 out.  You want four to five air exchanges per HOUR, not one per day.  If you try to get that with a fan or pump, it dries out the tub.

I'm in the same exact boat, so could I just turn the tub that it comes with into a sgfc? OR, well I have 7 strains across 18 jars. down to 17 now, but could I somehow do a monotub with them out of the tub they gave me? I got the same kit he did.

You could use your brf cakes to spawn a monotub but I reccomend just building an sgfc and doing that a few i times because its really hard to mess up after the cakes are colonized on the other hand if you break all your cakes up and use them as spawn in a monotub theirs a chance it will get contaminated while colonizing the bulk substrate so its up to you but its probably smart not to put all your eggs in one basket. Besides, pf tek teaches you a great deal that prepares you for bulk later on :thumbup:

Thanks for chiming in RR :heart:

i would like to see you  document your kit as a grow log . step by step with the instruction it came with and see what happens. This will be a good log that all first timers can look at before buying a kit off the internet . i wish you luck and hope it works out . If all fails you could then try a SGFC and see how that goes . Dont let people get you down , most are just trying to help .

I was thinking about that, but there's two things wrong with this kit from the start. Those being not enough perlite, and shitty lights.

Ya I plan on doing a grow log... right now Im still waiting for my stuff to arive (should get here tommorrow, but ya theres two things wrong from the start but its a cheap fix... not enough perlite, and the lights suck. I will replace the light with a 6500k cfl and I will be buying extra perlite. I might just drill holes in the chamber to make a shotgun chamber idk yet...

I don't really know yet, right now i'm just goin with the flow. Come time to fruit i'll just use the setup like it says to and see how that turns out.
If it doesn't do it's job, then i'll go buy a tub to make a sgfc with. :shrug:

This was the kit I used for the first time that I ever tried growing mushrooms, and it proved to be very successful.

I was very worried at first about contamination because my jars had a funky smell to them and I ended up throwing out jars that I shouldn't have because they proved later to be fine.

Don't worry when you open your jars and see white spots on your dry verm layer.. it's more than likely not cobweb and is only mycelium that managed to colonize the vermiculite.

The kit provided me with a good amount of mushrooms and it gave me great confidence in growing mushrooms from there on out..

You're better off to use monotubs after this grow, I purchase my presterilized sub from outgrow and have never had problems with them. Great great great stuff.

What if I were to buy a few of these: http://www.out-grow.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=65
Then got a tub, drilled holes, and filled them with polyfill.
After all that, what else would I need if I wasn't doing a casing layer, and didnt want to fan or mist?

Not trying to jack your thread, but I just need to know this.
I'm thinking of ordering those bags soon so i can go ahead and inoculate them.

If you'd like to see a growlog using the method in your kit type in the search bar "pmp grow" youl notice all of the threads will be from 2006 and before. Their is a verry good reason why their are no recent pmp grows and as it seems youl have to learn why on your own but theirs nothing wrong with that :thumbup:

Your kits method will of course work. A few years ago everyone did it that way. but now no one does and as I said their are several verry good reasons why.

Not trying to be a dick, but we get it. I've been told pretty much the same thing time and time again, and I'm sure jellycrab has to.
We don't need to be told this is outdated and that there are beter ways, we know that.
And yes, we're noob mushroom growers, but you gota start somewhere, right? To be honest with you, as long as I see ONE mushroom grow, i'll be satisfied.
We don't care about the better ways, at least not right now. We have what we have and we're going to use it. Well at least I am, and i'm sure jelly didn't just spend $140 for nothing either.
