Alright, so I'm new here. I'm starting to grow, and I think I'm in need of pointers. I'm probably going to have a $120 budget to get the things I need. I know I need the BRF, Vermiculite, Pressure Cooker (found one real cheap), half pint jars, etc. I basically have been hitting the books and learning all I need to know about growing.
I'm planning on using the PF Tek method, obviously. I know how to get the the process going all the way to cultivation. After inoculation, I'm a bit lost. So, I have some questions, just so I'm not confused as shit, y'know?
1. Can I put the cakes in a tall narrow bin? I see lots of people suggesting cultivation bags, but I'm trying to do this under the radar for a Christmas present, so I am trying not to buy any "special" items just for growing, because the person I'm giving them to will obviously know what tf I'm doing.
2. When misting, how many times per day? And do I just spray the top of the inside of the bin/bag for humidity?
3. How dafuq do you fan? What does that shit mean? (sorry, but I'm a bit of a dumbfuck) And how many times do I do it per day?
4. How long can the growth take after the pins come?
5. My cat pissed in my room many-a-times (cunt), and it stinks in there. However, I plan on making that the place where they'll be growing (no nigga sets foot in my room, so it's the safest place). Is it bad to let the shrooms grow in my room if it stinks? (risk of contamination, maybe?)
6. During cultivation, do they still need a dark spot? I'm going to put it under my bed so its out of sight. I plan on putting a towel over the bin/bag for darkness.
7. Is there any certain way to harvest the shrooms? (I'm always going to use medical gloves whenever I'm growing) Or can I just pick 'em off?
8. Is there any easy way to dry the shrooms?
Those are all the questions I have for now. I'll ask some more if I'm lost. I'm probably not going to get any shrooms grown until February next year, but the nigga I know don't mind late Christmas gifts. Hope to hear back.

1 you can put the jars wherever you'd like, better to have them on a light schedule but do fine in a cupboard
2&3 misting and fanning have to be played by sight, this is dependent on your environment. You mist the cakes till they glisten and take the lid of the tote and fan the tub for several seconds. Mist again when the cakes look like they have absorbed most the moisture. Keep em glistening but not drenched.
4 is based on environment & genetic. Time from pins to harvest varies but within a week or 2 from pins you should be harvesting.
5 you can fruit a tub on your toilet tank and shit all day, no worries.
6 if you are reffering to growing, they need light and a sgfc needs to be raised off the surface to work properly.
7 twist and pull
8 dehydrator

So you're saying 12 hours with light, and 12 hours without it, correct?
Besides, I'm just going to grow 'em in regular daylight (The Daylight CFLs are going to make it suspicious).
Would growing them in a basement that smells a bit like mold be a bad idea? That's the only other place that I can hide the shrooms
