1st flush of my life 1

Hello! I bought a starter "moby dick" kit pack (I know, I already bought all the tools to do it myself, this is just the testing process) and this is the result, are all ok? I know the black spots are spores since I wasnt in my home and the white fuzzy on the bottom is high humidity signal. Am I correct?
I put them in a shoe box since tomorrow It will come the silice gel.

damn nice job for a first go.
The fuzzy feet is caused by low FAE.
FAE and humidity are intimately linked so it could be a low humidity signal, but the "current theory" is that fuzzy feet is due too lack of FAE and the mushroom trying to increase surface area for gas exchange

yah thats low.
if you are new to mushrooms try 3 for you and 2 for her. have a fun time. shrooms allow you to purse hidden mental paths and shit. try dancing or singing a duet.
...or oral sex. i cant say enough about being blown on shrooms.

Ive always been recommended to start with 1.0g and see how you feel. If you like it take another 2.0g for a standard dose ( visuals, general trippiness ).
Would not recommend dosing unless you have fasted for at least 24 hours. Good luck!!!

.5-1.0g has me feeling like I wish I took more, and I feel almost like I gotta take a shit or something, that antsy feeling. I'd recommend half 8th, or 1.7 for you and 1.2 for her

Thats a preference. Not any rule that needs to be followed. Wait 20min after eating before swimming kinda stuff

Its good for some high dose experiences to do real ego shedding. It adds to the set n setting and being weak/surrendering to the mushrooms.
But on lower/casual doses? it just gives me a headache. Like exorcising on an empty stomach.

You don't need to go 24 hours without eating 6 hours is enough.

In my experience since I lemon tek my shrooms for more potent trips, is when I do anything under 3 grams I just get anxiety and wish I would have taken more. All I can say is it's better to be blown away from the experience then underwhelmed and feeling like your not really tripping hard enough.. then again when I give my friends 3-4 grams they "trip balls" and go to other places (there words not mine) but for me I need 5-7 grams for the same type of trip.

I am not in that level by far hahahaha, but yeah, most of my mates take 3-4g perfectly but not me )':
By the way, Im getting and the tools and im gonna do a Plastic Tek
What should I do with the cakes? I need a monotub (monotub=FC???) right? Anyone can recommend me a large basic one? Or a i don't care invest some money to get a nice production <3

Yes monotub is a fc. Go to Walmart and just get the biggest plastic storage tote you can. I use this design https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=561s&v=2X9yoXiT-eI

If I were you I'd look up mushboys shoebox tek it's an awesome intro step into bulk production.

Hey mush, how's yield in those shoeboxes compared to a 60-100qt tub? You get away with just one quart jar filled 3/4?

Size of container and amount of spawn used is irrelevant imo. Its all about those ratios.
Right now, i want a dry oz per quart used. Its not true BE or whatever but its the benchmark i try to hit.
A 100qt mono is huge and could have 8jars of spawn if ya wanted. So look for a dry half pound
And yes. 3/4 full quarts. Usually.

I see. Thinking what the best use of my space is. Could do 3 shoeboxes with a quart of spawn in each one, or one 66 qt tub with 3 quarts of spawn.

Munchauzen did this

I really like that way but here are some questions:
1. Can I made BRF Jars, and when is full colonized, and now put a layer of perl, spread the colonized brf to all of the surface of the shoebox(on top of the perl) and all of this WITHOUT holes in the shoebox and NOT inside a monotub and be successful?
I think he did that here:

2. Should I put the lid? or leave it without lid? (the lid of the shoebox). What about contams?
3. Probably a noob question, but can I broke the colonized mycelium from the brf jar and spread it right? (obviously with clean hands)
4. Which is the maintenance (spraying) of the showboxes?
Thanks for all and sorry for being so newbie hahaha

1. If by perl you mean perlite, noooooo that's not why you're looking at - the white is the colonised bulk sub and the top part is the casing. You need to mix your cakes with a bulk sub (coir, or coir/verm etc.) in the tubs to colonise and fruit.
2. People do different things with their lids, you can have it full locked on, flipped, or even take it off when fruiting.
3. Yes you break them up, but you mix with a substrate as said above.
4. You want to mist when your surface looks dry, ideally you want little beads of moisture on the surface.

Ok, almost all clear, so I need a sub made of which ratio coir/verm? (coir means coir sub fiber?) and mix it with the colonized mycelium and thats it?
This? 
And about the lid open, what about contams? Since you didn't say anything is free contam?

For what it is worth you should be able to get a shoebox for a few euros and they are stupid easy.
This is a shoebox I did. B+ clone, 1 qt rye spawn to 2 qt bulk substrate (1:1:1 coir:verm:black kow compost with 7% gypsum- but you can do well with just coir alone) Spawned on 12/7 and left with the lid on colonizing, checked every 2 days for misting and snaped the lid back on. This was the tray yesterday

Not the best flush ever but I'm super happy considering the extremely low level of care (my gf has been caring for them since the 15 and had zero experience) given for the output. I am in a cold winter environment but heating to ~73F so fairly dry relative humidity.
Considering the ease and size and cost (and if you need the fruits), I'd not knock it! Some people even have the shoeboxes fruit in a SGFC.

So can I use 1qt BRF spawn to 2qt bulk sub (ONLY coir with optional gypsum and verm)? And I need to sterelized coir since i read that its not necessary
