You need to do considerable research. There are thousands of threads here that have addressed every possible new growers questions from every possible angle.

First of all, you will need a pressure cooker. The bigger the better.

Lmfao don't start him with a beast that needs its own burner. Best go grab a 16qt from your local chain store.

Looks like a 941. I wish I got that but the 930 serves me well enough

Yea, its a bit extreme, but I'm a bling whore when it comes to starting new hobbies. When I got into growing I pretty much launched with an AA921 (which I had to import) and straight to 6lb grain bags from agar cultures.

Although if one's interest was only to grow cubensis occasionally, then the big gear is overkill.

OP tell us, do you just want to grow magic mushrooms or are you keen to make mushroom cultivation a serious hobby and producing gourmet edibles?

The things you can do with a serious pressure cooker are boss in themselves. Cultivation is cool.  But so is making some dank ass ribs. :shrug:

I know, right. Dude wants to grow mushrooms, comes to the world's biggest mushroom forum for advice, gets accused of being a cop. Where's the logic in that?

Just start with the simple PF Tek. A pressure cooker is ideal but not essential, in the beginning at least. My grow seems to be going fine, I just sterilized the jars in a big pot.

You are not sterilizing jars in a big pot. It's an impossibility of physics.

Meh I think we're all a bit more paranoid after the silk road fiasco and them tracking him from the shroomery. We all know LEO hangs out here already but I'm sure there's going to be an influx of traffic, law and regular folk from the publicity.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess it doesn't completely sterilize the jars but at least kills off most of the unwanted bacteria?

Okay, so this guy wants to learn about "growing his own". Presumably one would google "how to grow shrooms" or something of that nature. You come up with the Shroomery, so you immediately register an account and log onto the forum and start asking people how to "grow your own", rather than go to the enormous cache of information that's NOT the forum and finding the answer you came for? Then there's the fact that at the top of practically every board, there's a "before you post here, read this" sticky that basically says, "UTFSE, fool!" Then there's also the "Getting Started" board, which seems like the logical place to start. Perhaps you're right and I'm out of line, and he's just guilty of woefully bad forum etiquette. But it's still not wise to assume that everyone perusing the Shroomery is of like mind, so detailing any information about one's most recent cubensis grow, unless it's legal in one's country, to an avatar-less stranger that has never posted before may not be in one's best interest.

So, in the spirit if giving the OP the benefit of the doubt: best place to start, before trying or purchasing ANYTHING, is watching the "Let's Grow Mushrooms" vids. Watch the first one and do exactly what RR says. DO NOT go buying any shiny things on mushroom supply sites before watching this video. VIDEO FIRST. Otherwise you'll end up with a lot of extra unnecessary useless crap that you would think would make sense to have if you've never grown mushrooms before. Don't buy a goddamn pressure canner yet. If you decide this hobby is not for you, it'll be nothing more than a very expensive paperweight, unless you like to can food. Don't buy any kits. I don't often engage in the use of absolutes, but this is absolutely true: they're all shit. Homemade works better than pre-made. Get you some Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons, take your lil shopping list a la RR, and go out and collect yer supplies. They'll have all you need for your first grow, aside from spores or cultures of your chosen species of mushroom. The Shroomery has a list of vendors that you can obtain these from. Happy growing! :peace:

Not true on presure cooker, pressure cooker can be use for other stuff, ribs cornbeef roast and so on. So buying one wont be a loss but a new style of cooking. But on asking before you gather info youve got a point in a way. But seaching throu the TEKs on internet about half seem doomed for failure.  Even incorrect or incomplete. So being a help is alot better then scalding a newbie who dont know anybetter

Not for ribs.  But you can fit a whole turkey nicely or say, leg of lamb. Really good for making stews, pot roasts.  Great for canning up veggies, jams, and sauces from a good summers harvest as well.

:whathesaid: Why encourage someone to drop a lot of cash on something before they are even sure if they like the hobby :shrug:

OP my first PC was a piece of shit that I got as a wedding present. Could only hold 3 quarts at a time :lol: But it was free and helped me get a taste to see if I even liked mycology before dropping some serious change.

I now have a sweet ass AA 75x sterilizer that I truly love, and I probably appreciate it a lot more having worked with that POS to begin with.

Good luck and welcome to the shroomery :wave:
