Hey everyone! So I'm going to take my first shoot at growing shrooms! Super excited! Ive messed around with lsa extractions and those were all successes! I know this is completly different have have been doing a lot of reading up on procedures and what not. But I have a couple of questions. First, does anyone have a good source for a grow kit? Second, what kind of mushrooms should I grow? I'm not looking for anything in-particular, just something worth growing. Give me suggestions and why you recommend them.

Do not buy a kit, just do it yourself, save some money, and learn some things.

Cubes are the easiest, so I would suggest starting with cubes of some kind.

I was reading about mixed reviews about kits anyway. I haven't had had the time to compare the prices of everything I needed separately, but it makes since it would be cheaper. And it's never a bad thing to learn!
Any certain reason you recommend to start?

And that's makes total sense. I definitely don't wanna fuck up my first grow.
Any certain kind of cube you would recommend? I want something with at least above average potency.

See the strain thread, but basically, when you grow from a spore syringe, you're playing the genetic lottery. Any variety of cube is going to be as good as another.

Yeah! I have read a lot to get the syringe over the prints.
And thanks guys, I really don't know much about the types of shrooms so I will be taking a look at that thread later, playing some spades right now and kicking some ass! Lol

So I have decided to go with PEs for my first grow! And know how I'm going to put together my fruiting chamber set up I'm going to use. Haven't decided on the size yet. But going witha clear tote set up with air stones on the bottom with either expanded clay or perlite in the bottom with several inches of water in the bottom, less water then my base material. Holes placed in several parts of the tote to aid air circulation.
I need some advice though, should I use perlite or expanded clay, or something else? I've been searching and couldn't find anything on this type of fruiting chamber.

That's because it isn't a very good one.

Watch the videos and read the text below them, everything you need to know is right there.

air stones and clay are FAIL.

Hmm, i seen that style of chamber too. I was reading earlier and a lot of people were saying the had high RH with the still with water in the bottom. But I'll just stick with the one u just recommend. Really wanting my first grow to be a success, I can try my own things later on after I get a feel for the process.

So I started my SGFC. Check out this side I started.
 I know the holes aren't to size yet. And also, do they have to precisely 1/4 of an inch? Would it still work out if Ur off a tenth? I'm doing them all by hand so I just wanna find out for sure.

if your holes are slightly larger you'll only need to mist more often. I wouldn't make the holes any smaller though.
As been said earlier today RR said that 3/8" holes gives better FAE but require more misting than "lazy noobs" want to do.
also maybe if you're gone 14hrs/day working like he was you just dont have time to mist that often.

Awesome, I have no problem misting more.
I do work 8, sometimes 9 hours days like once or twice a week but I can have my girlfriend mist for me too.

I think you'll be good even without her misting. an important feat of cultivation is to NOT go all and mist too often.
you gotta let both the cake and the mushrooms dry up a bit between mistings, if things are left standing wet they will go bad.

Yeah I read if you can most and fan at least once every 12 hours you should be fine.
