First attempt. Insight welcome.
    #19247005 - 12/08/13 08:18 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

First of all I would like to say hello to the Shroomery community and that I'm glad I have finally joined. You guys seem cewl.
Okay, let's get on to topic. I have have a pretty lengthy history with mushrooms, and have decided to make an attempt at cultivation. I have viewed the "Official" pf tek video on this site, and I should have my spores (golden teachers) sometime tomorrow. Since this is my first time I understand that I need to be extremely sensitive to detail.
I have been doing as much research as possible, but if there are any tips that anybody can give me, it would be very appreciated. Everyone here seems very knowledgeable and it will be fun learning.
I will keep a constant update of my effort. Wish me luck guys.

Have patience and don't look for shortcuts.

Don't skimp out on sterilization during/before inoculation.  Too many new people skip this and get repeated problems.  It's a ton of patience, and you don't need to test it by getting contams.

Don't wipe your needle with alcohol after you flame sterilize.

Don't try to get super big super fast.  Take your time. Forget any ideas about being a mushroom kingpin for now and just enjoy cultivation.  This doesn't mean don't start multiple projects. Just take away all expectations of what you think you're going to 'get' from your cultivation and just try to enjoy each step of the process.

Thanks for the tips. I have a lot of experience gardening, it's a hobby of mine, so I am used to patience and care. It seems like sterilization is the most important factor (or one of) when cultivating. Any other precautions I should take?
Also I don't plan on becoming a kingpin. It just seems like an interesting thing to do. I only want enough for myself.

Be mindful of contams during your grow, throw it away at the first sign of trichoderma, you don't want to ruin your grow area.

The spores arrived right on time today, but unfortunately I had to work late. I have the next two days off though, and I plan on starting first thing in the morning tomorrow. Will keep you guys updated.

Sorry about the hold up guys. I had a busy day, but I just finished sterilizing the substrate. I have to let the jars cool, correct?



Ready for inoculation.

I sterilized the substrate for 90 minutes and used the exact same method as he used in the video.

How long should I wait for them to cool? They should be room temperature, right?

Follow the video word for word and you shouldn't have any problems.:mushroom2:

Most people wait at least 8 hours to cool. Most people make 'em at night and noc them up the next morning.

They appear to be cooling fast. You really have to wait that long? If so I will begin inoculating them in the morning.

Okay. This concludes tonight's adventure then. Are there any precautions I should make? against environmental contaminants or something?
