psilocybe cubensis
    #21758167 - 06/03/15 05:03 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hi im new to mushroom cultivation and would like to purchase a grow kit first to get started and eventually take my own prints and cultivate using the PF Tech. I was wondering if i could grow the kit in a dark area and get fruits and if not could i move it into the light for a few hours a day without disturbing the mycelium. Or if i could place the growkit outside, i live in southern ontario but im only a few minutes from the boarder so I dont think that my climate would be too hard on psilocybe cubensis as i have heard of people cultivating them in canada out doors. Any help from an experienced grower would be great and I know someone is going to tell me not to buy a growkit but im just getting a feel for cultivating and want an easy start.

Want an easy start? Try doing it yourself. Growkits aren't really reliable. It's unknown substrate done with unknown spawn. It's easier to help you if you did it yourself because you can tell us the procedure and we can critique it. It's also cheaper.

You're planning to make prints and do the pf tek yet buy a grow kit.. why not skip the middle step and do the pf tek with pre made spore syringes?

everyone is going to tell you not to buy one. especially experienced cultivators who got to be experienced by being able to learn. you got to learn how to ride the bike man. once you do it's easy. everyone starts somewhere.

cubes grow without light but they're far superior when given adequate lighting.

and the links in my signature are good places to start. they're up to date and not filled with dated cultivation info from decades ago that wont die.

Lol called it. But you probably have more experience than me and you make valid points. I guess I will just buy some spores and use the pf tek, so i geuss just read my origional question but replace growkit with pf tek. Also is there any way to steralize without a pressure cooker?

Light bulbs can be a great source of light. 6500K is the ideal spectrum.

Oh, I didn't know that fungi responded to light bulbs, maybe I will add a fourth part to my experiment

Mycelium has a circadian rhythm, you need to facilitate that with the light. 12hrs on, 12hrs off. 6500K is used because it can penetrate deeper into the substrate.

Would that mean that i need to make the area light tight so it could have 12 hours of complete darkness like with cannabis?

No need for any of that, just let them get 12 hours of direct/intense lighting, then 12 hours of no direct/intense lighting.

Lol...  6500K is used because that is the part of the light spectrum the mushrooms best utilize.

Im planning on comparing mushrooms given light and mushrooms deprived of light. But if you think light matters that much i will give most of them light.

Brighter light = Deeper penetration of light into the sub = More energy for the myc to grow. The light is an energy source for the shrooms, and having it in the 6500K range mimics sunlight if none is available. I agree with what you say, but physics says I'm right too :twocents:

Can I just buy some shrooms from a dealer and use those to cultivate? That way if it doesnt work i still got to trip at least.

Nope they're dried out. The tissue is dead and if they dried correctly in a food dehydrator at 160f the spore viability will nearly 0

Dude, let me save you a ton of time not making the mistakes I did:

Don't cut corners on the pressure cooker. Don't buy one from Goodwill. Don't try to get by with a little 6qt thing you borrowed from the only friend that responded to your fb post. DO invest $100 in a decent one with a pressure gauge and the correct weight.

You won't regret it.
