First time growing- the Game Plan
    #16189124 - 05/06/12 05:34 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

So I have zero experience. But I'm planning a trial as soon as I can get the supplies together, so I thought I'd run this by you all before I go shopping. Here's the game plan:

I'll probably be growing these at two different locations, transporting them to a friend's house for fruiting (I feel safest incubating them at home, but the pod is more conspicuous and her dad is cool with the whole idea).

I'm building the Poor Man's Pod for fruiting. If I do, do I still need to get a humidity reader?

For all preparation, I plan to follow Shea25's PF tek notes to the letter. I'll have a clean space in a drawer to incubate. How much attention do they need each day?

I can get vermiculite and perlite at Walmart, right?

I have a pressure cooker, but it might be too small for all my jars, so I'm gonna borrow a friend's and do two at once.

Where's the cheapest cubensis syringe? Sporeworks has one for like $50, but if I can spend less I'd love to.

Perlite's just for the fruiting stage, right? Can I just use grow rocks?

Last question (for now): Dehydration. I read that desiccant can take several days, but if wet shrooms only last a few days refrigerated, will they lose more potency if I use desiccant? Do I need to refrigerate them while they dehydrate?

Mushroomvideos.com 1-4 ... The Lowes in my area had the verm for $4 8quart bag Sta-green horticulture grade ... I had a local garden shop that had the perlite try to get coarse .... http://sporeworks.com/Psilocybe-cubensis-Sporeworks-Choice-Spore-Syringe-Special.html

Thanks. I want to use Koh Samui. Apparently that's a potent strain and an easy grow, according to FreeSpores. If my temperature during inocculation is in the low to mid 70s, will they still colonize okay?

You'll be fine. Follow your Tek closely and keep everything clean. Above all, be patient and don't mess with everything more than you absolutely have to.

P.S. Consolidate a couple weeks after 100% colonization for an awesome flush.

Good luck with it mate. I'm at the same stage as you and today I got as far as injecting them. Hope yours (and mine!) go well!
