don't blame the tek that the majority of your process came from ( or the vendor yo got your spores from ).
That is, as long as you are buying from a REPUTABLE vendor. I know from firsthand experience that there are companies out there that will sell you some half-dead garbage that will barely colonize and then decompose when you try to fruit. You cannot even complain to them either, if you do they will kindly remind you that their products are "for endoscopy use only."
Fortunately companies like that are in the minority and there are plenty of awesome vendors to go to.
That all leads me to my hardest thing to figure out: that shitty stock will not fruit no matter what you do for it, whereas quality culture practically grows itself.

Yeah definitely this ^^^ Everyone (including myself) always thinks they can reinvent the wheel when in reality nothing rolls better than a circle

For me it was how to put together a monotub. I saw the teks for spawn, I saw the teks for substrate, and I saw teks for monotubs. They all made sense. but I never saw a tek that illustrated exactly how to put all three together. Then one day I finally stumbled into a thread with a step by step pics and it made sense.
The other was how sterility works. It wasn't until a poster here explained how contaminants are heavier than air so they fall down and settle in still air, that it all clicked.

Next time use vinegar on mold instead of bleach. Works better anyway.

True. Good point. But if you're buying from a reputable vendor and it's your 1st time growing... at least chalk it up as 50/50 chance it was actually your technique that needed improvement.
I mean what percentage succeed in this hobby the very first time? 1? 2? 3?
And yet, what percent of angry complaints in the vendor forum are new people to this hobby? 90? 80?
See what I'm saying? Of course, saying 'it's a vendor, buy more spores'... just helps the vendors, albeit not the poor vendor doing his/her job that you bought from the first time. It keeps new people from getting discouraged, I guess.
So, there's always that...

I agree, new growers need to do way more research. "My popcorn and dog shit cakes won't make shrooms! They're the penis species and I put them in an aquarium with my beta fish! I probably got bad spores from this vendor." If noobies do their research they'll be fine. I got an ounce off my first grow in a 10 gallon monotub.

"I ordered a syringe and it's dark as hell. Obvious contamination from bad vendor. "
"I ordered from XYZ spores for my very first grow attempt (LC like a boss!) Open air in my filthy ass bedroom after wiping syringe on ma dick. Guess wut? it contam'd. After flooding XYZ with hate mail I've come to the seasoned conclusion: XYZ is a bad vendor, horrible human being and a fucking asshole to boot."
- - - - - I have actually seen these complaints (too dark of syringes / LC on 1st grow) in the vendor section with the vendor getting heat for failed grows.
P.S. I second the pressure cooker advice.

Well thus far I've learned that If you are clean, and your master specimen whether it be MS, LC, or print Is put into a moist nutrient rich substrate it will make the effort. If you can get said substrate to fully colonize before it either dries out, or contams then it will ultimately fruit. As the new guy around here what seems to give me the most problems is consistency. And I wonder how much individual strain variety affects everything?

First thing I did before ever purchasing anything I layed on the couch and watched Lets Grow Mushrooms 10000 times yes that many. Then came time to buy supplies well Im a cheap bastard who buys everything off the internet to avoid leaving the house. I noticed that I could buy spores off ebay super cheap were talking 6-9.00 Anybody who happens to read this DONT DO IT, yes just go ahead spend a little more money and buy from a rec commended vendor Shroomery has some really good sponsors. Your end result in this hobby well in life in general will yield a result based on the amount of time, effort and love put into it.

Thats funny, Im too new to put down anyone, but will say in my limited experience Ralphster seems reputable, only time I've had issue was with spores 101 but in their defense although there was a mixup they ended up fixing it, and doing me right.
