I just now saw this thread. I am putting my thumbs up on this one. I don't do PF, but have been looking for a very well doccumented tek that I could refer people back to. This is 100% perfect! I know its 4 years old, but it is still totally relevant in 2014. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME Shea25. I was literally contemplating a PF grow just to document as you have done. This will be added to my signature list of 100% Great Teks.

The product you are looking for is also called "Agricultural Gypsum" or "Pelletized Gypsum". It can be found in most lawn and garden sections of big hardware stores. I am certain that it can be ordered from the interwebs also. Google "Pelletized Gypsum" and you will find a variety of places that will sell it by big and small batches.

Not all drywall is made with gypsum. Some is made with fly ash. Use your search engine and make sure you are 100% sure that your drywall is gypsum board and not just "drywall". Fly ash is bad for humans, but yet they allow it in all sorts of consumer products.

Also, i've been told some drywall is treated with stuff that prevents fungus and molds from growing.

Dont need an incubator if your house is over 65°.
On a side note, I really miss Shea25 on the boards. And tahoe and scatmanrav, hell even boris. Those are The TCs from my day. Real good peeps, I learned so much from them. I wonder what happen to them...

Life it gets us all from time to time. It seems like all the people who leave a mark as teachers tend to only be around for a short time. I understand heck i been busy the last yea or two and haven't had time to sit and watch the boards like I use to when i was neck deep in my grows.
I miss those days and hopefully I can get back in the swing of things. I miss this community and being able to help out where i can. Even if I dont grow no more. This knowledge is priceless and if you follow your teks and take your time its so rewarding and I wanna help spread that again.
Well sorry for the off topic rant guess I'm just excited to be back 
On topic: Another thing about heating them. As said unless house is under 65F. That should really be ONLY. Cause using it to keep them warm only helps a tiny bit but the trade off is you are making a perfect breeding ground for contams. So keep in the 70s I personally prefer lower 70s if i can control the temp.
Also storing them its best to have a open shelf. Bins are nice but they tend to inhibit the best air flow. Causing poorer GE (gas exchange). Since the gases produced are usually heavier then air it can build up to and slow things down if it to bad.
And don't forget 12/12 lighting during colonization has been known.

Are golden teacher caps Always flat like in the pics?
Someone I know has some shrooms and says there golden teachers but the caps are like a reddish orange color and of the type that are round but go to a point at the top of the cap.
These are the nicest looking mushies I've ever seen and are hella potent. A whole eight is very intense experience.

Sounds like a typical cube to me.
The name someone gave to a certain group of spores means little.
