wanting to help first time growers

Hello everyone! Ok I would like to help newbies on their first grow. The mono tub is the best in my opinion not the pf tek although you could do that on the side but you won't get much of a harvest. Doing a bulk grow is easy using rye berries, millet, cracked corn, or you spawn of choice. Then after your jars fully colonize and are all white it's easy to dump them out in a bin and mix it with coco coir aka the reptile bedding found at pet stores. Then the whole Tupperware will turn white and mushrooms will grow like crazy and you should get a nice 2-6oz harvest. Unlike the pf tek where you have a bin with 6 cakes and get 1/4 oz harvest. It's been a long time since I been here but I have done it a half dozen times and it's easy. There was a guy a few years ago that was in college and posted pictures of 100 bins amd got 4+ ozs per bin so we're talking about damn near 500 ounces he grew! But he probably got in trouble with sharing that kind of info. I been a member for awhile so your safe posting a few pics and if your doing a big bulk grow you don't need to say hey I have 50 bins just talk about 1 or 2 of them be smart. But if you want bulk or you want a good first grow a mono tub is the best way to go. Mini green houses look like fun and look like more of a bulk bigger scale of growing but trust me ask anyone here with experience in both they will tell you mono tub is way better it's maintenance free. I tried to get my old roommate involved when I grew some in the past and he wasn't interested and said if it was that easy everyone would do it. I laughed and said yeah its because they have the same attitude you have. Then when he saw 4 bins with mushrooms all over the place and zip lock bags full he was jealous as hell. It's a fun hobby and once you learn all the different terms and lingo and do your homework you will understand the process and think wow is this easy. And people will ask you "well how much can I grow with 50 bucks? Or how many seeds do I need? And you will laugh and say it doesn't work that way and won't even know where to begin explaining. . It's a fungus not a plant. I want to start this thread for people that are newbies and are looking to do a mono tub for a first grow and even if you know nothing about anything point you in the right direction on where to start doing your homework. Just post a reply of this is you and you are looking for some type of direction in learning about growing mushrooms amd how it works. I'll gather some links in the mean time to share and post your level of knowledge on growing so I know your level of education. I could tell you what to do but you should know why your doing what your doing when your doing it. Understanding how mushrooms grow and what makes them grow is all important.
I also have a confession to make, I'm trying to take donations I got in trouble with the law and anyone can donate and I'll post the link later but I'm going help as much as I can in this community for awhile and I will have a link where you can donate 1 dollar or as much as you want. I have to pay a lawyer and court fines..
I think if I raise let's say $2000 for example, I'll start a thread and have a contest and give away cash prizes so if u donate $1 you may get $100 back or expensive all American pressure cooker, gift cards to shroomery verified vendors, I'll make a post later where we can come up with ideas. But it's looking like 60 days from now. I make $17 an hour and live with parents again so I will be able to save money. But whatever is donated I will look at as a loan from the community and I will give it back and all the people that donate will be included in the drawing to win prizes. It doesn't seem ethical that I beg for money because let's say I raise money to get me out of trouble then I never paid for my mistakes this community bailed me out so I should give back when I have it to give back. Today is my birthday amd look I'm alone on here I'm not out having fun life sucks right now and I plan to work hard and pay for my fuck up but I need some help at the moment. It will be tough if I raise even $500 to up and give it away later when I have the money because there is no contract saying I have to do what im saying ill do but I'll what's right because to get people to donate anything would be a miracle. I'm not even sure why i think anyone would give a shit about me you don't know me! If it were me i know I'd say what the hell I'll give the guy a buck, fuck it. I do random acts of kindness all the time and I guess I assume there are people out there like me. The website is on the news all the time when charities are seeking donations for animal shelters, cancer patients, ect.. it's called gofundme.com Sure any info I give is already out there and I don't expect a donation but I honestly need help raising some money and I don't want to make this topic about why I need it or talk about it here I'll post a link where that can be discussed later I would like to keep the topic about growing mushrooms on this thread. But my hopes are that people will just give a dollar because 1000 people give 1 buck that's pretty amazing. I'm not the charity type and the person reading this probably won't donate because you think like me, a dollar won't do anything for me but if everyone changes that thought process then imagine how much that would add up. I found the charity site and signed up after hearing about it on the radio they were asking if people wanted to donate for this school teacher that lost her job and long story but I donated 10 bucks I made me feel good inside. I came here and went to the pub asking for donations and told my story and so far it's been 4 hours and got nothing yet. I decided I can't go ok the grow forums asking for donations it's off topic so hey I'll let people know my situation and then help spread my knowledge and help others and maybe I'll get some help in return. I could of came up with a sad story about my dog needing surgery but hey at least I'm honest about why I'm asking for donations. It's a drug charge I got arrested and need to pay for a lawyer and I don't have enough time to save money from my regular job I need to cough up money asap court is in 8 days.. I've always loved the vibe from this community and I've learned so much from everyone back when I was starting out growing and this is where I turned for help since I always felt like people here are good people and might help me out. And this is personal I can't tell everyone and their brother in my world what happened and ask for a donation this is embarrassing and personal. I'm gonna try and get a loan from the bank soon and if so I'll still give back to the community.
If I raised a large amount of money through shroomery and Lawyer got me off the hook I'd probably give back double to this community!!
Please for my birthday, for Christmas, for having a heart, to make yourself feel good helping someone else, whatever reason you can find in your heart please I could be your brother or best friend I'm that person to someone in this world and hopefully you don't see me as a loser begger because right now I feel rock bottom and I'm a good person in need of a hand. Remember I could of pulled the "my mom is sick" or "dog needs surgery or will die" thing like a scammed so instead of judging me based on what I need the money for please don't let that be your influence on the decision to donate or not..
Anyways, here's the link to donate gofund.me/j7g2e8
Now let's keep it grow talk only. Thanks of you read everything.

I'm sorry you got into trouble man.
Years ago I got myself into a little scrape as well. Actually, someone told on me for something.
To make a long story short, I went into court, admitted my guilt, didn't blame anyone but myself, and did the time the judge gave me.
I know it sucks and is an AWFUL, helpless feeling.
Hope things work out for you. Not to sound uncaring or cruel, but sometimes we just have to face up to the mistakes we make, learn from them, and move on the best we can. And most importantly, don't make the same mistake again.
Wish you the best.

Damn bro sucks you got in trouble with the law. Unfortunately, the way I see it is if you do the crime, be prepared to pay the fine or do the time. Have to face the consequences of your actions. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I doubt many people are going to give you money because you fucked up. .

1) Why does he sound like a cop?
Sounds like he just got into some trouble to me.
9/10 times when someone calls someone a cop or nark for no reason, they are the actual oes. 
2) He posted a link to the gofundme website for donations.
It's right there in the original post.
