Man, am I glad I found you guys

Hey guys, this is my first post here. I've been lurking as a non member for about a month...finally decided to create an account and join the community that's helped lead me to where I am today.
Where is that, exactly? Very early in the game. Haha.
I've got five BRF jars inoculated (12/23) with Penis Envy and a fruiting chamber that I'm in the process of building. I am seeing good mycelial growth throughout the jars and feel like I’m about a week away from birthing. The plan is to blend my cakes, shake them into some bulk substrate and fruit them with a casing after they colonize. I'm building a fruiting chamber out of a giant plastic tub and filling it with smaller tubs containing my colonies so clean up and maintenance is less cumbersome. Kind of excited about all this! I love that I get to be an architect and a remodeler, and that I get to personalize everything to my liking.
I saw the thread about mistakes you’ve made or idiosyncrasies you’ve picked up as a mushroom enthusiast and honestly...I could’ve probably just made my introduction over there. Here’s a rundown lol.
Mistake #1: I went to the head shop looking for spores. They had like 10 different options and I knew literally nothing about any of them. A quick google search told me that Penis Envy is considered by some to be the most potent cube out there. Sold lol. Should have thought about the learning curve, colonization time and overall yield expectancy...and I should have also considered that there is a large group who say a cube is a cube is a cube.
Mistake #2: I bought blue canning jars. Seemed like a good idea until I had my BRF mix loaded up and ready to inoculate. As I was looking it over it dawned on me how difficult it would be to monitor colonization through a blue lens. Fortunately, I caught this problem before wasting any spores on those jars.
Mistake #3: I bought what I thought was a great humidifier. It’s a Vicks 3900 and advertised that it killed 99.9% of germs and bacteria in the water. Sold. Then I spent quite a bit of time and a little bit of cash sealing the case up and running hoses to my grow chamber only to find that I wasn’t getting much humidity out of it. It went from about 30% to 47% and then just leveled off on me. Why? Because it’s a cool air humidifier, not a cool mist humidifier. Excellent...and I completely ruined it in the modification process so a return/exchange is out of the question...AND I still didn’t have a source of humidity. Went and bought and actual cool mist humidifier, took care to modify it in a way that did not damage it and all is good...humidity all the way up to 99%.
Mistake #4: Going BRF at all. I should have just gone grain. I’m going to have to birth and blend cakes instead of just shaking grain out into my substrate. Another step that could add contams. Plus, with my first flush I intend to clone to agar and go grain from that point forward anyway…seriously should have skipped BRF.
Mistake #5: I pressure cooked my jars no problem, but I forgot to empty the remaining water and remove the lids I had in there as spacers…so now I have rust stains in my brand new pressure cooker. Brilliant.
Mistake #6: I took some unwanted Christmas junk back to Walmart in exchange for some 32oz jars to get ready to prep grain. Went to see how many I could fit inside my pressure cooker and the answer would be three, except the damn jars are too tall due to the concave shape of the bottom of my pressure cooker...so the answer is zero. Super frustrating.
So yeah lol. Been a bumpy ride, but I’m still holding on and anticipating good results. Fingers crossed.
Looking forward to being a part of the community and getting to know some of you guys. See you around.

Yep, definitely not a cop. No way to prove that, obviously, so I won't even try lol.
And 7718 is my name upside down. Like 5318008.

Hi Upsidedown Bill
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
