not sure
    #21833092 - 06/20/15 05:06 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys, I've decided it would be much easier to grow instead of hunting. I'm new to all of this but , it interests me very much. I've taken mushrooms once when I was 16... now being 23 I'd love to experience that again. I tried hunting when I was younger with no luck and now within the last few months I tried hunting again with suprise... no luck. So like I said I'm ready to grow. I've researched on here until my eyes bled. I've got the consent down pretty good. I've made my substrate jars and my syringes should be here in a day or two. I did purchase from one of this sites sponsors but the only issue  I'm having is...when and if I get some to grow, I'm not sure if I can bring myself to eating them. Being that alot of mushrooms are poisenous I guess I can say I'm scared. Anyone got anything to help me through that?

I'm not sure exactly what your scared of? Are you scared that you'll be getting something different than what you ordered? Cause if you ordered from a sponsor you'll get what you ordered... that being said maybe start with small dose first to ease into it..

If you ordered from a sponsor, you'll be fine.

If what you grow doesn't look like what you were intending to grow, there's plenty of people here willing to help you identify what you have.

There will be no mistaking when you have legitimate cubes.

We'll be able to tell if nothing else, just post pictures.

Ok I guess I should have got to the point. I wanted to make sure the sponsors were good. I went with one that had been a sponsor for more than 11 years. Thanks guys. And I have another question. Is there any differance between all the differant kinds? I got 2 syringes of b+ strain.

I don't know about one of the 11 year sponsors, but I know one of the other 11 yr. sponsors Works.

There's not much of a difference in cubensis varieties until you try out one of the PE's. Those may require a bit more attention and patience. B+ is a good one, you'll like it.

And I whilst I was pressure cooking my jars I had one of the lids blow off in the canner. Not sure if I did somthing wrong or it was just a bad jar lid. They are kerr jars and all were tight. I'm not worried about it though. Another question... I've read that once sterilized... jars and be kept a while. But with holes in the lids and just foil to keep contaminates out.. I feel like to somthing will creep it's way in. They are in a sealed container that I bleached but still...

Also, a poisonous species would be the dumbest thing a shady vendor could send, and would require malicious intention not just incompetence or fraudulent intention.  A sure way to get heat for selling spores is to leave a dead guy next to a tub of galarinas with a spore receipt in his email.

Some think strain (or variety, more accurately) matters.  Some don't.  Personally I can see the Phenotype differences and don't have enough experience to say certainly about chemical differences, but I think there are at least some.  B+ will be fine, think no more of it.  You can trade for some prints once you have a successful grow, though sadly B+ probably has the lowest market value of any strain, given it is very common and rarely prized.  B+ is heavily used, fairly old and quite domesticated and should be a good choice for multispore.  We're not supposed to talk about strain outside the strain thread.

If you want to use only foil, you have to be careful that it stays sealed anytime it's out of the still air box.  I'd suggest getting some polyfill or tyvek and silicon.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

No, this does not look right...

Yes I am using brf. I've read to stick to the pf tek but there's a post on here for simple way go grow cubensis.  I'm kind of mixing the 2 and just trying my luck at it for now. I only have 50 bucks in this so if every jar fails I'm fine. I don't want to turn this into work. I want to have fun...and thanks for the info...that all makes perfect sense

Nothing else can grow, other than the shroom spores that you were given, I can assure you. It's very much illegal to sell poisonous mushroom spores labelled as say, B+; If they're on the sponsor list they're probably reliable.

If it's taste you're after, there's hundreds of ways to mask it. Grinding it up in a small glass and adding strong undiluted squash/cordial is my way of dealing with it.

Best of luck with your grow :smile: Pf tek?

I thought you were using grains.  The foil lid is fine for PF tek.  It's one of two contam barriers along with the verminculite ontop of the cake (a non-nutritious layer for spores/bacteria from the air to land on.)

Be careful mixing teks, there are enough variables learning to grow as it is without adding your own (no disrespect) inexperienced ideas.  Mixing up container types and fruiting chambers is fairly straightforward.  Substrate mixtures and preparation methods, not so much.

Ambitious and independent people tend to be the type that attempt to grow for themselves, and automatically want to do it their way and contribute immediately.  A little bit of submission early on can really help you dial in some of the more subtle aspects.

My first month of growing was basically just me saying "Violet was right" every other day.
