Perlite overkill

So I guess it's not the right time of the year, so I couldn't find any perlite at any local stores. Undeterred, I hit the internet. After a bit of looking around and some calculations, I finally decided on this $40 bag.  I may have overestimated how much I was going to need for 2 66 quart sgfc. At least I'll be st for a while
-------------------- With my feet upon the ground I lose myself, between the sounds and open wide to suck it in. I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. Whatever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. Spiral out. Keep going...

I finally managed to find a garden center with big ass bags of perlite like that after years of paying out the ass for the puny ones they have at Home Depot. I use it for cacti though, not mushrooms.

That's messed up.. I buy big ass bags like that AT Home Depot. And for a fraction of the price OP paid as well.
I never even used a whole bag for shrooms and garden shit combined. I've made so much seed starter mix (2+ years worth of year round planting in a pretty large garden, not just a few plants) and grew quite a few cycles of shrooms.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

That shit isn't even perlite half the time, here it's perlite dust with a few crumbs at the bottom.

The stupidest is that Miracle Gro perlite infused with fertilizer, if I want fertilizer I'll add it myself thanks.

I might just have to make more tubs!

I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. Whatever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. Spiral out. Keep going...

I didn't check Home Depot or Lowe's, like 45 min away. The only place here only carries is early spring.

That's exactly right. It doesn't spoil. Neither does the BRF if you take reasonable care of it. This hobby is so simple and easy it is amazing that anybody could fuck it up.

Most fuck ups come from not preparing right or just in general being impatient. If you take the time to actually read what you're doing and understand why, and take the time to do it right, you'll have virtually a 100% success rate.

That's my experience. PF Tek? That shit aint that hard. Roger Rabbit has videos on the internet that make it foolproof even though you don't need them. If you can't grow 'shrooms you shouldn't do 'shrooms. Dispensation on that judgment given for people who do not own their own place

Yeah, super easy. Now the lady has some perlite for gardening too. Better than being short on the stuff. Might even go 6 inches in each tub.
