1st grow evar! (GT)
    #18964730 - 10/11/13 04:19 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hello, first post in this area, but I've been lurking A LOT.

Anyways, I bought all the stuff to grow shrooms with pf tek, watched tons of videos, etc.  Basically got tired of going out and hunting, hoping for active finds....I will still venture out and forage, but, I know how my brain candy will be supplied for the future, lol.

Tuesday of this week, I mixed the vermiculite, BRF, and water and put it into the jars for inoculation.  I sterilized without a pressure cooker in a large stock pot for 1 hour 45 minutes.

Pictures of my progress, comments VERY welcome!




























I know, I got too small jars, but it'll work, right?  I already have the other 8oz jars, but am going to see these through....

I was happy to find this today after only 3 days from inoculation:

Welcome to the Shroomery.  You first successful grow is an amazing experience.  From the looks of your pictures you are following what RogerRabbit has outlined in his videos.  And it looks like you are following it ro the T.:thumbup:  If you have not yet done so I would suggest buying RR's complete video.  You will learn so much from it.  You can purchase a download of the video for only $10.  It is worth every penny. Here is a link: http://www.mushroomvideos.com/

I have just started a Golden Teacher culture also.  This is the 1st time working with the strain for me so I am going to enjoy watching this thread.

:congrats:

I grind my own brown rice also. I try and grind the
Brown rice as fine as possible, seems to offer the
best results IMO. Coffee bean grinders work amazing,
I usually find good cheap ones at my local goodwill.


Keep up the good work.

Yeah, sorry I didn't have pics of inoculation....I had both hands busy, but I was very sterile.  I made a glovebox, and was meticulous about sterilizing the syringe after every jar, etc.  I washed my bathroom with bleach, and rubbed my arms with rubbing alcohol.  I also rubbed alcohol inside the surfaces of the glovebox, and I dare say it was squeaky clean.  Thanks for the compliments, I will keep updating this thread with my progress.

My first grows were total failure. I am happy to see that you got some success. Contamination makes some people lose interest. I am curiously waiting for your mushroom porn pics

I did?  All the videos I've watched have them being put on upside-down like that.  Am I missing something?  Thanks for the help.

Either way works, it's usually recommended to put
them upside down to prevent the jars from creating
a seal during pressure cooking. If not using the
steam method.

If the seal is created, during inoculation the substrate
jars can suck all the spore solution into the first injection
you attempt.

Day 4:

Every jar is showing signs of colonization.  This is faster than I've ever read it happening.  Could this be something else happening?  I was very careful with being clean in every stage of the process.  Here are the pics:






Thanks for all your comments and suggestions!!

I hate when people say "evar."

The quality of your post, however, redeems the awful title.  Good work.

Update day five:





Is the fast colonization because my jars are small?  Also, the second pic is most colonized, and the last pic is least colonized.  I am extremely happy about my progress.  Going to Home Depot today to get the supplies together for FC, any advice other than follow RR's videos "to the t"?  I noticed the videos didn't mention anything about light cycles (12/12, etc) or anything like that.  Any suggestions?  My shopping list for HD:

Clear tote for FC
Perlite
hygrometer
lights??  (suggestions?)
air pump?? (do I need this? I will have holes drilled on the bottom of the tote, so this won't work, right?)
air stone??

Anything I am missing, I would appreciate suggestions as always, thanks!

No need for a hygrometer, air pump or air stones.

Just get a tub, drill 1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides, and dump 4-5" of perlite in it.

Have the chamber raised so that air can flow underneath it, and have it in a room with no running fans.

That's it, nothing else.

Mist/fan the cakes a few times a day.

All the jars are blippin' away.  Slowly taking over the jars.  Not going to take too many pics that don't really show anything worthwhile.  Thanks for all with the help!  Updates will come in a few days....

for your lighting i would just get 1 of those compact florescent bulbs (the twirly looking high efficiency ones) and plug that into a 12/12 timer.

everything's lookin good though man! think about moving into grains after finishing this one up:thumbup:

I went to Petco and bought a 24" 6500K fluorescent reptile light  and fixture for it.  It was a little costly but I love it.
