Overview of my first grow, anything i missed?
    #18833974 - 09/12/13 07:47 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Greetings everyone, I've been interested in growing mushrooms for quite some time but only recently became serious about doing it. I've spent the last few months creeping around the various forums basically absorbing all the info I can (much of which coming from shroomery, an invaluable resource), trying to get a firm understanding of the technical aspects of amateur mycology. But before I apply said knowledge to an actual grow I was hoping some of you more experienced growers would lend an ear and maybe a bit of advice. Just for some peace of mind, the last thing I want is to waste time n money only to find ive made a simple mistake lol.

I plan on growing some PE, some of the best experiences I've had have been with the envy. I've read it's a bit of a slow colonizer and kinda low yielding but that's fine with me. Not expecting super flushes on my first run anyway. Well I'll save you the read n just give a basic overview of my plan. Criticism, constructive or otherwise is always welcome.

Buying pre-sterilized rye berry spawn bags, if any have had bad experiences with these let me know. I'm pretty sure I've got the inoculation and sterilizing procedures down, just unpracticed. After colonization I'm going with a mini mono tub for further spawning using damion5050's substrate tek. Following it to the t except I'm gonna half everything. Don't see why this wouldn't work so far, in theory at least. Wanna run a small scale test and then I'll scale it up. Plus the spawn bags only get upto 2lb/2quart (damions tek calls for 5qt spawn) so I'm just gonna try one. Assuming all goes well and nothing gets contaminated, it should be on to fruiting. Following standard procedure here a little light, misting if needed and decent FAE. Gonna put the whole thing in my room/closet, my ceiling fan stirs the air pretty good unless you suggest otherwise and that's about it.

Makes it sound a lot simpler than I know it's gonna be lol. I'm going with spawn bags to hopefully save me the trouble of messing with jars n such, for now atleast. I'm more interested in getting hydration and airflow management down, then I'll worry about spawn media prep. So there you have it, don't think I've missed anything. Please let me know of any pit falls I may have over looked, I assume PE will play relatively nicely with this setup. Let me know what you think. And good day to all =)

You seem like you've done your research, and have the method down pat. All you can do is give it your all, man, and hope for the best! As for the ceiling fan thing, it should be enough, but maybe every once and a while go ahead and fan it yourself to allow for more evaporation (pinning trigger). I also would recommend a different cube variety rather than PE for your first grow, since it seems to be a little tougher than most, but it sounds like you have your mind made up so more power to you :tongue2: Best of luck to you! I'll be starting my first grow soon too, you should definitely make a grow log on here, plenty of knowledgeable people here to help you out.

Yeah sounds like you have got a pretty good grasp of what you need to do but there is no substitute for experience so jump in there and get it done! Just holler back at us if you need any help. The best thing to do is start a grow log on here. We will follow along with you and give you tips and correct you if we see you getting ready to do something incorrect. Good luck bud!
