Weird how hypothetical anonymous posts are just for shits and giggles, yet the haters still gotta find a way to drop the pessimist bomb on all the fun. Thanks

OP has no idea how hard it is to actually crop out 10 bow by yourself.

That is a lot of work, and I also hope you have a lot of start up cash if your doing all of that in a few tubs, those tubs cost money, so do jars, going to cook all of that substrate and pasteurize all of that bulk sub with one pc, better plan on buying a big sack of meth too because your not getting much sleep this month, o wait a minute, your keeping this going every month, man I sure hope you got a big kitchen to cook all this sub and prep all these tubs. Sure hope you got your sanitary practices and all that other shit inline, because believe me, after working 10 or 30 hours and then throwing all of your work in the trash to start over sure can be discouraging.

I guess if you plan on cropping 10 lb dry your talking about starting with 100lb of rye, and that is just for starters don't forget about the 200 or so lbs of horse shit your going to use to actually crop it out, wait better mix in a little verm too, maybe about 50 lb or so to help keep all that work from drying out.

your going to need 20-40 tubs to crop all that.

one cooker? it will run non-stop all month to get to 10 bow.

dehydrator? going to need a few of these to keep up with drying all those boomers.




If your living in an apartment or a house with any type of roommates, your not going to be able to do this without them knowing.

Good luck, and remember if you tell one person your growing they are going to tell at least one more and so on. If you get caught doing this anywhere in the us of a your ass is going to jail for a long time.

:cheers:

#17,
I buy subs and spawn from vendors! so no pressure cooker and no time investment aside from opening the packages that arrive at my door.

I don't even own a pressure cooker and dehydrators are CHEAP and perform well for long periods. Sterile is not a problem its pretty much just common sense and a few cheap supplies.

I think with good isolated genetics 15-20 tubs would easily be sufficient to snag 10 bows. Tubs are usually stackable in my experience so most walk in closets could easily house 20 tubs.

I agree that harvest will be cumbersome. I think once proper genes have been established and isolated, all one aggressive strain, the timing will become almost as predictable as clockwork as well as diminishing in length of time required from knock up to dry weight.

Once the strains are isolated, the only variables are continuation of sterile procedure (a given) and the ability to order quality pre pasteurized and sterilized spawn and bulk subs.

The profits diminish due to the increased cost of ordering subs and spawn rather than doing the work myself. For a scenario like this, with the yield capabilities and amount of work, the time saved is well worth the money lost.

To start up from nothing i would calculate no more than 900 bucks all in to jump in and do it right. Then just the cost of the spawn after initial supplies (tubs/dehydrators/chemicals/cultures .etc) Probably several grows to get the genetics/ timing lined up optimally and after that you are off to the races making possibly 10-15k a month.

Unless the fuzz pops the fun bubble and fucks up the rotation. Ya got me there. Many rapes shall fill the rest of your days if shit goes fuzzy... The best idea is to live alone, tell no one, and have very few customers whom are smart and trustworthy.

For a hypothetical scenario, i think the i have a pretty good idea of what 10 bow production would look like.

Thanks for the good points #17!

Prepared substrates are NOT the way to go. If you have problems, you'll have no way to track them down. DIY.

Good point #5... UNLESS... the vendor is incredible. Not to mention, when you are spending hundreds of dollars essentially for shit and grain, they damn well better be a quality product. A little communication with the vendor can go a loooooooooong way towards making sure you are taken care of when it comes to quality.

There is risk, but again, communication=quality. Especially with some of the awesome vendors out there.

It is important to know your vendor well.
I think pre-made is a perfectly viable way to go... If you are capable of being a valued customer to a quality vendor, that is.

yep, might as well just buy 20 hydropods and be done with it :lolsy:

Seriously, if it were that easy there would be hundreds of kids doing it all across the world...:awecid:

No. Do it yourself so you can know for sure. Your logic is not logical.

Jesus where I am from that's dirt cheap. They want almost 200 bucks an OZ. Not ever worth it...


The demand is stupid high where I am from but no body every has anything... I can't believe it's possible to get it that cheap... I thought the prices on SR were cheap...

Ive only sold my harvest's once, and that was to break even on getting my setup going. Ended up selling 1 pound of mushrooms for $1250 and that covered all of my costs + a little profit to order some more supplies, i might sell some of my next harvest again as it fly's off my mates hand and he makes some cash as well.

My number 1 rule would be don't sell them anywhere near by, my guy sold them 8 hours away from where we met and then came back. Also never let anyone know where you are growing them, meet in a public place and do the exchange there, never have any active grows going when you are selling either as someone stated earlier. Grow your mushrooms put aside 2-4 oz's for personal use throughout the year and sell the rest.

You can be comfortable knowing you aren't wasting money on a very interesting and rewarding hobby and can help spread the love out there where others might not have the chance to experience mushrooms otherwise. :tinfoil:

its a long ( dangerous) way to the top,
if ya wanna rock and roll.

id suggest 90% of the goodies,are grown by 10% of the growers.

out of that 10%,
60% see life changes in 10 yrs and quit.
20% get busted within first 10 yrs.
10% dead , injured, forced retirement, vanished.

leaving about one percent left after 20 yrs,
of wich half, had their fun, and quit.

considering , the modern grow movement ,
essentially started in the 70's
there are pry less than several dozen,
serious old pro's over 30 yrs,
on the globe.

the skill, and survival curves are steep.
ill offer, you need best teks, and best james bond skill,
combined.


legends start somewhere
good luck.

Yup :whathesaid:

Stay in the shadows and be smart.

Monotubs are the easiest way to get 'er done, but don't fuck with pre-mixed bags... make your own substrate... it's simple and not a bunch of work when you can put out 40 tubs for $13 a tub
