Follow the videos to the T and you will be fine, pf cakes are damn near impossible to mess up when following the instructions.

Lets see. Heres things I fucked up on my first few grows:

* Don't pressure cook/sterilize too long. You will cook the rice.
* Use PLENTY of perlite! 5-6" is ideal. I was cheap and only bought 1 8qt bag once, about 2.5", and the humidity was too low I barely got any pinning. Once I added another bag of perlite and rehydrated it BAM! Pin city son!
* Wipe with alcohol THEN flame sterilize when innoculating.
* And most importantly: Patience is key young grasshopper :levitate:

Can't think of anything else atm. But as said above, fallow directions EXACTLY and don't go rogue on any of this shit. Once you got a few grows under your belt you may find the need for tweaking things a bit. But for now; to the T nigga. :goodluck:

Follow the video, it's pretty easy, step by step, even if you just leave your cakes in the fruiting chamber for weeks, and do nothing, they will still fruit(Ive left cakes in the chamber for 2-3 weeks without seeing or touching them to come back to fully fruits) I wouldn't recommend that, but just saying, it's pretty easy. Good luck!

So you think that pressure cooking for an hour or steam sterilization for 90 min isn't going to cook the rice? :confused2:

Just take your time and don't rush anything and use a still air box.

Let me rephrase that dick;

I meant it will FRY the rice if PC'd too long. OF COURSE it's going to cook the rice somewhat under intense heat :smirk:
I left my PC on high and forgot about it once. Came back and the shit was dark brown. Not ideal.

Anyways... my point was "Don't pressure cook/sterilize too long"

Dude... you know what my point was: Don't sterilize TOO long.

And who cares if I said it will "cook" or "fry" the rice? I am a novice still and was just trying to give him some tips so just chill..
There's no need to start a war over a simple discrepancy in word use, cus I'm pretty sure everyone knew what I was talking about anyways :undecided:

I think someone's a little cranky, do you need a hug?  :hug:

I think you should know when you've made an ass of yourself and just STFU
and not make it any worse.
Noobs today have 0 respect for those who came before them paving the way. You were infact the one to make a poorly thought out sentence which
can confuse silent noobs for years and years. You should be glad he pointed out your shortcomings.

Check your ratings and you'll see I'm not the only one who feel you need a :chillpill:

Yes, I am glad he cleared it up. But, he was in fact being a smug dick about the way he brought it to my attention. It was very unnecessary and also demeaning.

This is a place to learn, not to shake your little dicks around and act like everyone who is not a master mushroom cultivator should be treated like crap.

A lot of you mushrooms "pros" on here (not all) seem to have a VERY short fuse for people making small mistakes in their comments/advice. I'm sure ALL of you have made mistakes starting out.

That being said, have a nice day, and suck my balls :peace:

:whathesaid: Could not have said it better myself. People forget that for every poster with an account here there are 100's if not 1000's quietly lurking. They need the record set straight. I won't even get into people for whom English is not a first language.

Lumpy I was not trying to be a "smug dick". Sure I don't sugar coat everything, especially when it comes to bad/confusing info. You want yer hand held an yer dick sucked go find a hoe. When I was starting out I asked questions and hoped that I didn't get bad info from someone who didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

If you think I was being rough on you then thank your lucky stars Pussyfart wasn't the one to reply :lol:

Well you're right, in an information based web-site like this its get your facts straight or STFU.
Dont guess, dont talk about stuff you've only read but never tried etc
and you're good.

You SHOULD be afraid to post BS, I mean, ask all you want that's not "illegal" only annoying to some extent,
but if you're gonna tell a noob to be careful at least try to throw in

a) a proper concern
or b) STFU

Hey, no jizz man. I still respect yall, nothing but love. I've learned a LOTTTT from you guys in the last few months.

Sure sometimes I may slip a lip and may say some incorrect info. I'm still learning and try to help if I feel I have some viable info on the topic. Everyone starts somewhere right? But no need to be sarcastic and make me feel like a dummy O.o! LOL

Anyways, no offense bro!
Also I never met a hoe who held my hand, only dick suckin :aweshit:

Your information wasn't incorrect.

Keep you jars from burning by keeping them off the bottom of the pot on a trivet\jarlids\foil.

PF Cakes that get broiled to the point of burning are useless.

I'm not pussyfart.  :inlove:
