I just tried this tek, so far did a p2g with my pf cakes I had going nd transferred to the popcorn. Only thing im woundering is should I have watered the popcorns after I boiled nd shit to get rid of starch if there is any? How long before I should start seeing progress? Thanks everyone, ill post my progress as it occurs.

I have a half filled one almost colonized what should i do with it while the other ones catch up? Let it chill or if i did a bottle tek is that a waste?

So its been almost 2 weeks now and my jars seem to be bout 90% i just did my last shake before i put with sub. Only question is my mycelium didnt seem super white, but maybe just i didnt let the mycelium recover long enough. Imma wait til the 30th nd if its not doing good ill post pics.

Don't do that. If you rinse the kernels after they've been boiling they'll cool off and it'll take longer to dry. The popcorn I've used has always been really clean, no rinsing at all needed. Even if the grains break open during the boil the starch will have already gelatinized from the heat so it doesn't just spill out.

would love to see some pics of your jars, but i used popcorn too, and the mycelium not looking so white is okay, popcorn takes a bit longer to colonize from what ive heard. If it looks light white a bit cloudyish just leave them be, they will thicken up soon.

Ive been working with popcorn for my first grow, feel free to check it out n see how my jars looked at 100%.

Those are all the white popcorn. The yellow variety is similar. It doesn't split like that though...

yea they look similar too mine, just give them a nice shake once at 30% then they thicken up a little more n ull see it alot more dense white mycelium. Ill be tuning in, i wanna see others do well with popcorn!

Why do popcorn, when you could easily do WBS/ oats for literally half the price?

Hi all this is my first post in this forum. :smile:

Im a noob to all this. But ive been reading alot...

Ive even dreamt of growing mushrooms the past days.

And I have also planned my setup alot...
My biggest problem is that have to keep my new hobby secret, and I have to do all the steps in the process in stealthmode.

So...
First i was thinking of brf cakes because it is the recomended tek for newbies.

But for me and in my situation it would be easiest to go straight to bulk.
So now my plan is to use this tek and then use a monotube with verm and coir.

So my question is this a possible way to do it?
I got all the stuff and tools i need and have spores of cambodian cubensis.

I think this tek seems perfect for me.

Thank you
Cheers from sweden :smile:

Why do you have to keep it secret?

Cakes are a good and simple way of getting your tek down and to practice sterile technique.
Doing bulk is less forgiving.

If you're king noob try pf tek first.

Yeah everyone says that cakes is the easiest way to do it for beginners.

But for what it seems to me is that cakes takes more effort and caring when it comes to fruiting.

My thinking is with a monotube and polyfill etc. It will be a easier process with less effort and where im going to have the fruiting chamber placed, The surrounding air will be super dry. So with for example brf cakes in a shotgun chamber i would have to spray it all the time to keep the humidity up.

And i dont have to use perlite with is quite expensive around here. 

Ive also built my own glove box and have gotten me all kinds of sterilizers, alcohol,  alcohol lamp etc..
For me it seems less expensive if i dont succeed with this kind of tek .

But for what i understand, say that im sucessfully do this popcorn tek , can use the verm and coir tek ? To mix the substrate up in a monotube yes?


Edit **

What the hell.. I'll do both...

AGREED

DISSAGREE







Bulk can be just as easy, this hobby is not hard, Just find a good tek, follow it through and practice good sterile technique and your fine. No one is 100% sterile, there are always contams, they even hitch hike on spores made in the cleanest conditions so the name of the game really is to be clean enough the myc has enough time to colonize before contams set in. Be clean, be percise and dont incubate at high temps.  Those 3 will help you along alot.

:goodluck:

Thanks for the advise :smile:

My biggest problem is the logistics.

Its not optimal where I have to put my fruiting chamber. Its a bit cold and very dry air. Thats why im thinking that a shotgun chamber would dry out very fast. But i think a monotube would do the trick. 

A little confused about your messure system :smile:  quarts , oz, etc.. hehe..
Have to google all the messurements and convert it..

My plan is to use this tek and The use this coir tek ----->  https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11916595/fpart/3/vc/1#11916595

With a another monotube tek.

In that way i can save all the perlite ive bought...
I have 16 jars that i can experiment with.

But this tek along the coir tek seems to be the easiest to me.

Lots of kids try growing muchrooms at their parents houses and thats just not cool.
They usually get caught and that reflects badly on us.

I try to weed em out!!!

You seem to be an old crow at this!
Keep it up and post pics!

I would recommend skipping the popcorn and getting some bird seed or rye, if you insist on starting with bulk.

I also think you should start with pf tek. You don't have to use the shotgun chamber, instead you can crumble your cakes and spawn them to coir and verm in a "monotub". Spores can be dirty depending on the source, and pf tek is more likely to give you a successful grow then popcorn or grain will with spores. At least if you get a good grow with pf tek, you can clone a fruit. Then you're off to the races.

Most people who do bulk are using agar. get to know it, it will be your best friend. Before agar, headaches, after agar, finding extra storage headaches.
