why not grow shrooms if you hang out in mush cult all day and advise so many people on how to grow?

Anyone have suggestions for buying bulk rye or wheat in Ontario, Canada?

I know some farm feed stores will carry it but I've yet to find one. I have had success with finding wheat kernel at bulk barn but it is quite expensive.

I have a specific question. What's the highest % weight of dried shrooms you got per a unit of dry unprepared grain. For example you prepare 1000g of rye grain and you get 50g of dry shrooms.
That translates to 5% yield.

Have any of you ever calculated something similar to this? If so what's your personal best (all flushes included).

Most people generally get 28g dry mush per ~.75qt of grain, regardless of how much sub you use (or at least that's been my experience). My personal best is 46 grams dried from roughly 1 full quart of spawn.

Any european cultivators here? I'm looking at "affordable" pressure canner or large pressure cooker that can do 15 PSI and hold 7 jars. I already have a really good pressure cooker that does everything very well but it can only hold 3 jars, yesterday I spent 9 hours preparing 9 jars and I think it's time for a change.

I see a lot of pressure canners on ebay and amazon, the problem is, they are all coming from US. I pay 123$ that's okay 50$ more for shipping and 36$ for VAT... Turns the whole deal a bit sour.

Where do you european cultivators buy okay pressure cookers at reasonable prices?:shrug:



I'm not in Europe, but look on Ebay and similar sites for a 23 quarter presto pressure canner, do not buy an electric pressure cooker, it is not the same.

What's wrong with the electric one? I was actually considering getting it. It seems to have high PSI rating. The socket is shit but I can make an adapter. Temperature control, I don't know about that one yet.

PS: Pls chill out on tryptkaloids, I like him. Maybe he just finds the work involved relaxing.

No offense but what is your objective, what is it you intend to learn and possibly teach?

There are various people who test growth, nutrients, pH and various other factors prior to fruiting, however it's usually scientific or has an end purpose.
For example, testing various nitrogen sources on a single media (say agar, or even coir), and both analyse and record results.

Personally, without the scientific angle, most scenarios will be: stick a-b-c together and see what happens.
If you knew more about the composition, and other factors, you would likely benefit.

----

When I started with cultivating, my objective (and still is really) is to use medias the don't infect, or easily, 'open to air'.
At the same time I want the media to be nutritional, and cheaper, I had to learn quite a lot (over 7 years).

The ultimate result will be to harvest production, such as fruit mass, materials or enzymes.
If you want compost, either buy it or make a composter and keep adding waste.

----

I can tell you, all or most of my teks are not much different to any other one, i'm just using different materials and recipe's.
This is because most of the research (for domestic cultivating) is already done for you by others.

Most of it will be trial and error, and people who spent money-time doing so.

----

There will be plenty of opportunities to (dis)prove something, for example lets say 5-6 people say [X] about a matter.
And you think you can (dis)approve the information, go ahead and do it, take images and so on.

I love being corrected myself, this allows me to do better, and teach facts.


Just my opinion, I have had arguments in the past (it's not worth it).

That's where I go for oats, shredded straw, sawdust pellets, 55 gal drums etc. They have lot's of good mycology stuff in the feed section. :thumbup:
