1st post, 1st grow.
    #19110910 - 11/09/13 03:43 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I've been browsing this great site for a few years, pretty sure this sight saved mine and my friends life's a year or two ago.
But to the reason I`m posting is because I'm attempting my first grow.
I've been reading a perfecting the way ima do this so its dummy proof, and I wont need a pc. so I bought 4 1lb bags of rye berry spawn from out grow, along with 6 1lb 50/50 substrate grow bags, I plan on knocking up the spawn bags (keeping everything clean with rubbing alcohol) and then once there fully colonized and everything I`ll put 1 spawn bag to 1 50/50 bag. then wait for it to recolonize and move in a clear Tupperware container(mini mono style) I know there's better ways, blah blah start with pf tek but this is the way I`m doing it, it will work best for me. but please give me feedback on my setup, (and if I did anything wrong in my post).

:hi:Welcome to the Shroomery.:hug:

No need to spray Lysol every other day.  Spawn bags are self contained and sealed.  Nothing will get in and contaminate your grow.  And as cronicr said, you will be much better off throwing your spawn and your 50/50 together in a mono tub once your spawn has colonized.

is it ok to leave the black stuff on the needle?
and after my first grow I`ll build a better FC but for now the Tupperware container and trays are all I have.

If you are talking about the black carbon build up on the needle that you get after flame sterilizing your needle I have never had a problem with leaving it on the needle.  I hate to say it but, you are probably not going to have to much success with a tupperware container. A tote for a monotub can ge bought from Walmart for like $8.  You might want to wait until you can get a proper tub.

couldn't a 10 gallon Tupperware container be used as a mono tub, just need holes on the top and side? what else? I can't get a straight answer from google.

What happens when you wipe the needle with running alcohol. Does it ruin possible mycelium growth? Because I did rub mine with alcohol. It's been a week now and I still don't have mycelium growth. I'm also trying to grow in November so idk if that has anything to do with it.

Alcohol is not sterile

Alcohol doesn't sterilize, it sanitizes. For sterilization you're going need high amounts of heat, flaming the needle to red hot will come closer to sterilization than wiping with alcohol.  Essentially you've killed off more bacteria by flaming the needle than the alcohol will kill.  By rubbing the needle again with the alcohol soaked towel it will actually be a way for more contamination.  However, alcohol won't kill the spores inside the syringe.  Wait longer it can take up to 2-3 weeks even for first signs of growth from an MS syringe. 

To the OP, yea i'd really want a nicely designed fruiting chamber.  Personally I like the SGFC and putting Tupperware trays of bulk sub inside of it.  But for this first grow give what you have going a shot.  Keep the humidity and FAE going, you can get fruits straight out of a grain jar without ever opening it up, so you should be able to get some fruiting going.

Sounds like you still have another bag of spawn and sub.  When you do those, definitely construct a proper fruiting chamber.  You'll see much better yields when fruiting in proper, tried and true conditions.

inoculate? yea it's completely fine, if you want to make things easier get an alcohol lamp, the flame from burning alcohol produces a lot less soot, and you don't have to worry about fumbling with a lighter.  I'll let somebody else evaluate your mono-tub setup, i've never done one personally. 

Are you thinking about making your own spawn and sub in the future.  It'l save you a lot of money and teach you a lot of new things.  For the beginning it's cheaper and easier to buy pre-made spawn and sub for lack of cost of startup supplies, so i don't think it's a bad idea, but when you continue definitely start making your own.

all the bags I`m buying come sterile, the company pcs them,
I do see the importance of learning from the bottom up, with the pf tek. I just needed a winter hobby, and I've always wanted to cultivate my very own shrooms. so I went for the best way that suits my living conditions. and I`d very much appreciate more feed back on my mono build, like I said im writing everything I do down so I can go back later on future grows(I don't want to add bad notes)

There is no reason to start with the pf tek other than not wanting to buy a PC IMO. Maybe agar could wait but even that is not that difficult IMO. If you decide to start with premade items that's fine, but it would be a horrible waste to rely on them.

I think you need to learn what a mono is if your gonna use one. A tray is not gonna work as well in a monotub as it would in a SGFC. You need to do some research and decide two things. First, do you want to spawn to a tray or a mono. Second, you need to figure how big of a tray and SGFC you will need for the amount of sub you will have or, how big or small of a mono to build.

Good luck.

AFAIK you can talk about non sponsors all you want, just don't plug their products or post links to their sites :shrug: I'm one of the dissatisfied Ralph customers for sure tho. Can't speak for the US side but, his Canadian operation was a joke and I find that the service and products from the other sponsors here puts his to shame :shrug:

Your plan for monos sounds good, good luck :thumbup:

Damn I've been wiping shit on my face during every grow without many problems I guess I'll have to stop it just kinda scares me to waste even a drop of spore solution to cool the red hot needle and it scares me that it will damage a large amount of the spores I'll then end up inoculation with
also the soot on the syringe kinda freaks me out to

Instead of alcohol couldn't you use bleach? I know bleach does sterilize and not just sanitize.

I`ve think all of the bad rep is for the Canada side, don`t know why he hired people who`d hurt his business like that, but I guess if you live in Canada your best bet would be another vendor, and I`m glad to hear approval on my mono tub :grin::mushroom2: if I could give rep at the moment I`d throw a few your way man, appreciate it.

BTW, anyone got any GT or PB grows under there head? I`d like to know, colonization estimates and if its aggressive on rye berries.
