I've been lurking for the last 3 months, learned a shit load. I've been trawling the FB page mostly for the last month, helping out more noobish people there. Started growing about 2 and a half months ago. Done well enough. went straight for grains and bulk substrate. Using a hpoo/coir/verm/gypsum/lime mixture. Pasteurizing in oven bags, but trying to figure out a better way to do bulk, since I'm going to be doing about 10 tubs in the next couple weeks.
I've grown 5x 56 litre monotubs, 3 PE, 1 Shooting star, 1 Ecuador and a few smaller 20-30 litre tubs of EC and Amazonia. Gotten about 9kg fresh mushrooms out in my first 2 months. Planted a few outdoor patches got some big shrooms out there. One was a 74g SS. The PE in my tubs have given me 96g and 108g mushrooms.
Current got 30+ colonised jars of a mixture of Malabar Coast, Mazapatec, Ecuador, Amazonia and PE.
I've got some nice clones and isolates going on Agar and will inoculate those to grains, as soon as I've made the next few tubs from the jars that are fully colonised.
I've also got 4x King Oyster and 4x Blue Oyster jars colonising Sorghum at the moment, looking to find some decent sawdust in my part of the world seems fucking impossible, everything is just pine. So got teff straw, bran, coffee, and gypsum to grow on. Thinking of testing a 10-15% amount of Hpoo in the edibles substrate. Will do more research before I get to that.
Just wanted to say thanks to all the people that helped me grow, I'll definitely carry on giving back.

That sounds like a bad Idea, puka. You should only use a couple CCs max.

When germinating, always keep in mind the 'time to full colonization'
This time = how long contams have to colonize the rest of the bag/jar
Single cell organisms have a huge leg up on complex life for reproduction speed. Not to mention little to no delay in getting started (unlike the 4-15+d fungi germination)
Next issue would be the huge amount of genetics going on. Few drops has a lot, 10cc is like a city's worth.
Those grain bags with SHIP are meant for LI or LC. The latter is a bitch to know if it's clean too.
Start small, get some growth, then move that into a nice sterile bag for munchies

But ppl are going to put spores to grain directly no matter what we say I feel like 
But yeah, use as little solution as possible to be safe (if you're going to do that).

Lost 3 strains to date from direct grain. Hopefully my loss can help someone.
I'm even nervous now to germinate on 175ml of grain with verm layer @room temp. Once you get a nice master jar you can expand that massively. Used 2tsp per pint of grass seed to save my ATL strain

Newbie here as well. I'm not sure I quite understand this part... So if I get a syringe with a ton of spores in them and inject them into a larger jar (say, a quart jar), would this be putting spores to grain directly like you're warning against? Or do you mean a large bag? Not sure which parts I'm misunderstanding.

Besides using petri dishes / pastyplates, PF tek is the next 'cleanest' method of germination. Smaller and dryer is safest for whole grains.
Wet is bad unless you are starting with adult mycelium. And even then it's riskier, but the timeline are shortened by 3x

youre jars are fine, just wash them. they mean to toss the stuff in the jar. or bury it. i like to bury stuff that way there is still a chance to get some fruits.

I understand the risk of MS to grain but right now it's the only thing I have to noc with. I'll do proper LC/LI/G2G/A2G when I have the supplies to. I'm still confident though. I injected 5cc's MS into two 1 quart spawn bags successfully before.
Haha just like you said, I'm still gonna do it anyway :P
