whats up!, im new here, and ill probably be posting alot latly and such, and wanted to ask a few questions that i cant seem to figure out, im a noob!, but i understand all the the basics of tek and all that, so..
ive been looking around, all over my city, went to 4 differnt stores, with gardening centers (walmart, lowe's, griggs, home depot" and none of them carry vermiculite, just per light, wish i already have enough of.
so i was thinking about just using the popcorn tek method, with seems pretty easy, easy as growing cakes it seems, it looks like i might have to use popcorn.
but theres no guides or anything on what to do with the popcorn after it has colinized, do you birth them like cakes?, but them in pan type things with gardening dirt ect? can somebody explain this or link me to this? both about the cakes (if there is any for pop corn) or how to use get them to grow after colinizing??
and.. if i do end up using vermiculite, how do you get them to grow musrooms in dirt? ive seen pictures of them in cooking type pans, with tons growing out everywich way, with little cake stuff and alot of dirt, how do you do that??? is that what you do with the popcorn? and how?
thanks, you guys fuckin rock.

with popcorn u case...theres a bunch of casing teks in the cultivation section if u need directions.
just prepare the popcorn to the tek...then case and fruit like u would any other substrate...otherwise u can use the popcorn to spawn...but whatever u want.

You can get by with wbs or popcorn not using verm.. get miracle grow moisture control potting soil for a casing layer!!
May even be better than 50/50 and no mixing..

Check for a landscaping or nursery place, or an agriculture supply store. Those places should all have vermiculite. Or you can do like the other guy said and use miracle grow moisture control.
I've heard mixed reviews on popcorn, but haven't ever tried it so won't say anything about it. The most popular grains are wbs and rye berries.

I had decent noob results with popcorn, but even better results with the SGFC .The popcorn TEK I used was a very decreet, easy and simple set-up.
Prepared the popcorn. Injects MS. Lost like 20% jars. When the popcorn was finished I let it sit for a couple of days. I think I shook and let it recover 3 times. Put the colonized popcorn in $.99 Ramen Noodle P5 trays naked. Cased with either Jiffy seed starter or Miracle-Grow potting mix. I want to say it was Miracle-Grow Once the casing layer was almost fully colonized. I can't remember whether I let it go 80% or 100% Uncovered and kept it misted , about 4 times a day. I did not let water settle. Soon after I had little trays full of Mushrooms. I did not use a chamber at all. If I can find the pictures I send them to you .
