First Time Grow

Hey guys, new to posting here but been on the site for references a while now. I recently started my very first grow in a tub and now on my second flush. Thought I'd share some pictures and get some feedback from the community. The strain is Brazilian, and this is after the first flush.
enjoy:)

That is sick! How many grams did the first flush weigh out to be? And do you have any tips for me for my first grow? I want to start growing soon and a perspective of a first time grower would be nice. So any tips for things that you would've done differently? And how much did all the materials cost you?

Honestly haven't weighed the dry first flush. There were a lot of small separate fruits for the first while the families of clusters came after. I would of put the garbage bag on the inside for blocking light instead of outside. I tried to make it easier putting it in, but it will make it a more difficult clean-up. The most expensive (essential) things are pressure cooker ($70) and dehydrater ($70). Everything else is just a few bucks such as alcohol, coco coir, plastic tote box, polyfil, jars, etc. Overall a couple hundred bucks you could get by with a set up that will last you a good while. I recommend mono-tub, my friend suggested that to me and I like the technique. Go for it though, it's a rewarding process

you could grow for less...
stockpot instead of pc($20) spores(free-$20) wbs(6.99 for 20 lb)(grind it up and use it just like brf in pf tek) verm($10 for 2cu.feet) tubs($5.99 each at walmart) coir($5 for 3 bricks)
$48 - $70 is the starting price and that list will make about 100 - 200 jars. and 3 monotubs unless you purchase more coir.
also, you dont need a dehydrator you could point a desk lamp 2 in away and a fan 1 foot away at mushrooms sitting on paper towel and 16 hour till cracker dry.

Yes, you're right the pc and dehydrator aren't exactly essential. Especially the dehydrator, so it's really up to you on what tools you choose to use. The substrate and all the cleaning materials are cheap and easily available. Do it, the rewards pay off any financial investment with contentment. I use grids of crystals as well around my grow area for good vibrations:)

I've been told to use one with an adjustable thermostat to avoid too much heat so I purchased one. Not sure if the regular ones all get really hot but I play it safe with 130 degrees for a few hours and seems to work like a charm.
