hey guys i have just ordered the necessary things to do the PF tek method of cultivation i was wondering if i could get a head start on what it takes to grow my very own albino A+'s. I've heard that there is a slight temp. difference.could i get like a nice guide or video with some side notes on the strain I've picked (yes i know i picked a hard strain to grow but they are interesting and i would honestly like to study there growth cycle and if its a different trip then regular shrooms that you find from the guy on the corner)

Differences in strain are the fun part of being a cultivator, after you've gotten established and can sustain yourself and isolate your favorite strains. It's a fascinating hobby and the money you spend becomes meaningless as long as it's not a commercial project.
Suggestions from me? Don't fuss over your jars three times a day - leave them alone and look at them and check them every ~3 days. Give them time to do what they're DNA is telling them to do.
You're tricking them into thinking their in a cow pie, keep that in mind. Dark, nasty, and nutritive.
Patience, patience, patience. I stopped my Newb-Syndrome by recording everything and occupying myself with LCs and future grows and making new jars.
Interesting strain and thread, I'm fascinated to hear how things go for you.

I'm still here and watching. I look forward to lots of pictures and lots of details. The PF tek is pretty much fool proof if you just stick to the tek outlined in the videos
It's when n00bs start to think that this that or the other idea might work better than what is shown in the tek that things go wrong. Follow the tek to a T and you will do fine. As far as the temperatures don't trip too much. Extreme cold and extreme hot are going to be a problem but day to day fluctuations in temp aren't going to be too much of a problem. Colder temps tend to slow colonization times down a bit where as higher temps tend to move things along at a faster pace. And your choice of strain isn't going to be a problem for you. You will see people post on this site time and time again that, "A cube is a cube is a cube". This is overstated a bit on this site. There are noticeable difference between the vast majority of cubes varieties out there. Once you get deep into this hobby and have experience with multiple cube varieties you will see what I mean. But as for growing parameters go, " A cube is a cube is a cube." Just follow the tek and you will do great.
I look forward to seeing your progress and watching your grows.

Albino A+s are not very hard strain to cultivate, It was just as Golden Teachers, assuming we are still talking about cubes & PF TEK, IMO

thank you all for your greats advice once i start setting up and growing i will take lots of pictures and upload them they might be phone photos but it will be good to show off the wonderful gift that is a cube. to be honest i will be selling them to friends but that is because ive seen some bad mushrooms turning people away from a magical thing. and as for your mushroom log (Quexl)ive also started one its labeled "the book of mushroomery Volume 1" (mushroomery-[definition]any acts of mischief involving mushrooms.)
thank you guys your the people that make me love this hobby.

if you plan on selling your mushrooms you should stay off this message board. illegal activities such as this aren't endorsed here.

i understand you bro,its honestly because i don't like seeing people turned away from a magical thing because they had a bad trip or some bunk cubes so i would like to be the one who shows them that they are not something to be afraid of but something to respect and enjoy in ones life. so im just gonna give them to people in my circle.

bad trips don't have much to do with the mushrooms themselves. the worst trip iv ever had came from the best shrooms. It's all about set and setting.

And even then be careful. I recently was in a situation with someone I thought was a trusted friend. The person that I thought could be trusted threatened to go to the cops with the information he had on me because of some B.S. Luckily for me and unfortunate for him he didn't know where I lived but I knew where he lived. A little bit of drama in sued and I learned a valuable lesson. It is said that if you grow do not tell ANY ONE that you grow. You never know who will turn on you for some sort of petty annie bull shit. Keep this in mind. Also keep in mind that if you live in the good ole USofA growing mushrooms puts you into the same category as a meth cook. Damn the man, fight the power, fuck the system, but you are seen as a drug manufacturer.

If you are going to use em now, use them but If you are going to store them (long term), refrigerate them but keep them inside the long ziplock bag covered. don't put it in the middle of everything. Put it on the bottom, alone. I keep my syringes in a bubble wrap in a zip lock.
Oh & I would recommend doing some LC or Agar with does spores, To isolate the strain & you will have a head start for bulk. You wouldn't have to wait after you flushed out your cakes & you would like to move on bulk. I have some LC of Albino A+'s that colonized a jar in record time.

I built a box out of tin foil in one of the crisper drawers of my fridge to help keep my mycology related things separated from the rest of my fridge. I still put every thing in bags as well.
