Almost ready for my first grow am i forgetting anything?
    #22360924 - 10/10/15 09:44 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Whatsup everyone, over the past few months I've been doing a lot of reading on this site and have been collecting the stuff ill need to pull off my first grow. I have everything and now i'm just waiting on some spores.
Before I start i was wondering if anyone has any further input, i'm going to be using this as my FC setup, , my main question about the FC is if the bottom/bottom holes are elevated enough (using just some jar lids) to allow proper FAE. Also i was planning on keeping the FC in my bedroom, will this cause any problems/should i move it to the closet?
Anyways my plan is to use some agar to get isolate decent myc. growth and then agar to LI using MudaFukas LI Tek (http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20429745), and using that LI inoc. some PF cakes (1/2 pint wides w/ verm. barrier)

So far for my agar supplies i have the following things, is there anything important i'm missing:
*tyvek sleeves
*surgical masks/nitrile gloves/& micropore tape
*H2O spray bottle & Alcohol-soap-water bottle mix to spray SAB
*ISO Alcohol&Paper towels
*Inoculation Loop
*xacto knife
*200g MEA
*20 Petri dishes
*500ml agar pourer
*distilled water
*pressure cooker
*lighter/or candle for sterilizing needles and loop. (or why should i not use a lighter or a candle?)


Assuming i'm able to isolate a nice clean, rhizomorphic chunk of mycelium i will follow Mudas LI tek, i've already made the blender needed for this except i didn't put a SHIP on it was planning on just carefully opening and filling syringes in the SAB, All agar work will be done, slowly and deliberately in the SAB but i've never done agar before. Has anyone started off with agar before or you guys think i'm biting off to much for a beginner?

I would just do spore syringes to BRF cakes but it's extremely hard to get spore syringes shipped to where i am, and on paper, this seems like a better way to get quicker colonization/single/consistant strain mushrooms and just more fun in general. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress once the spores get here, but for now, what do you estimate my chances of success are with this method? Yay or nay?

Thanks for looking
Yay or Nay?
You may choose only one

Hi, I'm new to all of this myself.

Your fruiting chamber does not look up to spec. You should read up on/google how to create a SGFC (shotgun fruiting chamber). Your holes look a little too close together and there need to be holes on all sides. The holes should be drilled in a 2x2 inch grid pattern, yours look more like 1x1. I'd also elevate it a little higher, maybe use the jars instead of the lids.

I've not yet dove into agar, but I would make sure you double/triple read through some guides about it. There are ways it can fuck up quite easily.

For sterilization of needles, a lighter is fine. I used a butane lighter. The needle tip will turn black with soot. An alcohol lamp is preferred because it doesn't leave this residue behind, but it's not a problem anyway.

Here's a few links in regards to SGFCs and cloning:

Yeah your chamber has about double the holes it needs on the sides... and it needs holes in the bottom as well as the lid... it needs to be elevated at least 6 inches when you actually get to using it... and as for things becoming covered in soot from flaming, you need to use the lower blue part of the flame instead of the orange part...that'll take care of your soot problem.

I modified it a little bit the holes i put in it are about a 1/3 the size of ones done with a drillbit, i only had a tiny nail and had to heat it up and use that. I put holes in the bottom the same size but not as many, those have the standard 2 inch. But im pretty sure the surface area the holes cover is near = to the standard SGFC's, idk id posted awhile back and some trusted cultivators said it should be fine as long as i don't live in a windy arid climate which i don't. Idk i hope it'll work.

you did drill a few too many holes but thats not a problem. cubes like FAE and lots of it. but you NEED to have the holes on ALL 6 sides. lid and bottom as well. the humid air in between the perlite naturally rises so it needs fresh air underneath to pull up so it has natural FAE. you might have to mist more but youll be fine. and those mushrooms with thank you for it. and worse come to worse you can tape a few or something.

you do need to elivate it more. a little more breathing room.

as for agar i just started working with it so i cant give you much in the way of tips. except follow this tek
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19208976
its easy and for beginners, and make sure to get a bit extra. i found it more reassuring when i could make a couple blank batches first and check the consistancy, feel for handling.. etc.

edit: damn loc beat me to it lol
