1. There are other fungi other than psychoactive mushrooms 2. There are microfungi like trichoderma, neurospora, and dactylium that can elicit as much fascination as other macrofungi. 3. Realizing you need to beg, borrow, or fight for as large of an autoclave(s) as possible early on with all your heart and soul. 4. Realizing that the 100$ in materials to get started shouldn't be an issue, most of the consumable stuff you need can be pulled from the trash if you are super hard up for start-up cash. 5. Getting information is easy. Buy all of Stamet's books or find the .pdfs until you can afford the books and create an account online and get help from the community. 6. You need to have your own place and learn to keep your mouth shut for security. 7. Don't do it for money, just for enjoyment, there are plenty of things you can do for money. The long term addiction to growing, the money, the stress and extensive paranoia are something you may need an extended decompression for if you stop growing actives for joy and/or money.
Everything else technical can be achieved through following guides, reading, and

its weird, I honestly never had much of a problem with contams. From my first grow ive only had to throw something out twice. My problem has always been the balance between RH and FAE.
I also find casing confusing and controversial

Well spores 101 had this deal on some white giants something like that, or at least that was the strain it was suppose to be, however these are not that strain, I honestly don't know, I don't like them though,they are super slow to colonize, and as far as potency well lets just say they leave a lot to be desired. Going to go back to Cambodians wish I could get a REPUTABLE spore vendor, in the end they both made it right but so far the 2 I've dealt with just have not been very professional.

Almost forgot here's couple pics of my round cake second flush first pic is top, second pic is bottom I think it's so neat when they fruit from both top and bottom, the trick is getting them out of casing tray and put into GH without them falling apart lol

Always take things in the absolute most positive way possible. BE FEARLESS. BE CONFIDENT. Never let others get you down. Hell, never let yourself down. Stay positive and learn from failures. Hard work always pays off, if you let it. This is the alpha way of living. If a chick talks shit to you or tries to embarrass you... keep your frame (don't let it effect you) and tell her something even more fucked up with a smirk on your face. Or be above her and just don't even acknowledge what she said, kinda roll your eyes and continue on. She might slap you but she'll be thinking about you as she rubs one out that night. This is life in general. Always keep your frame. Know that you're the man. Walk balls first, but always use your head. There is nothing in life to fear, but ALWAYS be smart.
If you're a girl, ignore all of this. Act coy, but always be internally confident and fearless. Use your beliefs to control your emotions. You are an emotionally driven creature. Do not let your ego trick you into thinking you have control. You do not. The only controls you have are your beliefs and prayer (does matter who/what you pray to.) Be careful who you hang out with and your environment in general. You WILL be effected by social pressure. Hell, I'd say the biggest driving force for women is social pressure. Be aware of your social environment and if its not preferable to you, change it. Quit hanging out with dense chicks, quit watching TV, etc.

I don't often have contam problems, I had a run of "cobweb" showing up in my grain jars for a little while but I suspect it was my agar and unskilled noob eyes, I've since not had problems with competing molds. I did however just have a couple of jars of spawn go bacterial but I only pressure cooked them 60M I put a picture in my shoebox thread of those bacterial spawn jars results after being spawned they still actually did quite well.

Everyone has had problems with spores 101 it seems, use a shroomery vendor. The name on the syringe has little to do with things like potency and speed, you'll have to get into agar work to isolate good strains from any variety of cubensis syringe.
