First time grower, I have a few questions!
    #23962532 - 12/28/16 11:29 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

HEY GUYS!

  I've always been a avid stoner and I have dabbled in shrooms before,
(tripping etc) But I've never tried my hand at growing them. I live with my fiance, and I'd like to grow enough to keep us supplied. We have ZERO shroom dealers where we live. Now I get the basic fundementals of cultivation after reading some webpages and watching some videos.
 
  I already know where I'm gonna get my spores, So I got that covered. The questions I have are regarding which materials I need to purchase to grow them, after researching I've seen many different methods you can use and I have also looked at some midwestgrowkits.(Yeah I live in the states) I hear some people say kits are for suckers and Ive heard others say they are good especially if you are a noob to this like myself.

  I've also seen the spawn bag method, that looked pretty easy,  I def dont wanna make my own substrate just yet, I would like to grow a decent amount so any advice would be helpful!

Forget about spawn bags if you plan on shooting spores into them.

Pre-sterilized substrates are ridiculously expensive and you'd never know how long they've been on a shelf after sterilization. You want to use recently sterilized substrate because a regular pc cycle can't kill all contaminants, so you're just buying a window of opportunity after the sterilization cycle by neutralizing bacteria long enough to allow mycelium to colonize the substrate before any competitors.
The PF tek substrate doesn't even need to be sterilized in a pressure cooker, and it's a very easy way to get some mushrooms for beginners.

Copy paste the following on google and follow that tek to a T: "let's grow mushrooms pf tek"
After that, click the link below to see the materials you have to buy:
Pf tek.
And also, build one of these: SAB

The Let's Grow Mushroom videos are clutch!!  I also like this guy on youtube called @willy_myco  He has some really informative videos and goes pretty in depth with explaining why you are doing each step.

Good Luck!!

Ok first fuck the kits. Spend the money where its going to count. You can do things the easy crappy way or the right way.
The easy crappy way is injecting spores into grain jars. Or start with pasty plates and agar.
Things needed in smallest amount.
One five gallon bucket with lid.
A big bag of grains or bird seed.
At least one set of qt wide mouth jars with lids.
A nail and a hammer.
Bag of polyfil.
A tube of red rtv silicone.
And the mother of all important things a big at least 16qt pressure cooker.
A roll of foil.
A window screen.
If goes well in phase one then youll need a few bricks of coir and two 56 qt tubs.

Jar lid production
Take a jar lid now poke hole in it with hammer and nail.
In one hole you stuff it with polyfil.
The one other hole in make a seal on both sides with the red silicone. Let air dry a day.

Grain spawn prep
Take the grain you have and fill the bucket with amount of jars your pressure cooking and cut it in half. Normal pc holds 7 jars so pour 3.5 qts of dry grain in the bucket. Next boil 9 qt of water to rapid boil. Dump boiling water in bucket with grains. Close the lid and let soak about a day.
Now take your window screen and place it over the sink. Dump grains water and all onto the screen. Let air dry for a hour.
Load jars 3/4 full of the grains. Screw lids on, cover lids with foil. Load jars into pressure cooker, fill pc with 3 qts of water. Seal up correct and turn the heat up all way until you reach 15psi. Cook 2 hours. Then turn it off. Let cool pver night.


Knock up with spores.
Take alcohol swab and wash the ports on each jar lid.
Take the needles and burn with flame until glowing red. Now inject into the jar 1/2 ml of spore water. Repeat each jar


Let agar work explaining to others
