This tutorial is what I followed step by step for my first grow. It makes everything very clear and idiot proof.
Sorry if you're not supposed to link outside shroomery I will edit if I have to

Sorry, I meant for starting out... Things to buy, preparation of the sub, etc is the same as it is to this day. Plus they give you measurements of BRF and verm. (Which when reading PF tek on this site they dont make that clear.)
But yeah don't go building a terrarium with a drip shield

Shea25 said: The basic recipe for 5 PF jars is this 2 parts vermiculite 1 part water and 1 part BRF (additionally you can add 1 tablespoon of gypsum for 5 jars)
In a bowl add the 2 cups of vermiculite (and gypsum if you use it) now add the 1 cup of water, mix really well. Now add the 1 cup of Brown rice flour (you can make your own by grinding brow rice in a coffee grinder) Mix this really really well. Now load this into the 5 canning jar equally, making sure not to compress the mixture in the jars you want it nice and airy. You will be leaving a 1/2 inch space at the tops of the jars for the dry vermiculite layer.
Are you quite sure?
Look, it was the first tek I read too, 9 years ago when I first took interest, but it was bad then, let alone now.

Damn, looks like I'm switching my BRF ratios! Thanks for pointing that out!

Inocuole said: Any reason you can't make said substrates yourself? There aren't any substrates that you can inoculate with spores and then fruit directly other than BRF cakes. If you're purchasing a substrate then that could mean you're buying pasteurized manure, or grain, or something else. Pre-sterilized/pasteurized substrates have bad news and low success rate written all over them though, even if you did happen to get enough grain and enough manure/coir substrate to do a grow, it would cost near as much as a pressure cooker.
I'd recommend a few steps back and some more reading before you spend money unnecessarily and discourage yourself with the results.

just this post is enough here. OP; . doing it right the first time saves you a lot of trouble and discouragement. plus, you learn more.. and learning is 'supposed' to always be a big part of it right?
good luck buddy
