Yo man, Gordo,  it was you that got me into mushrooms with this video!!!
Also I made DMT last summer. You're the man!!!
I mention this Tek in other questions and some people on here laughed at your shit. I couldn't believe the lack of respect these guys l, veterans, on this site have. Your Tek helped me so much. That you! Love your shit and my gf and I fall asleep to your voice. Keep it up bro!

Gotta say it's getting weird now people making videos with my teks lol. Im glad they helped you out and assuredly your video will help people out. I learned from abysmal sources of info and legendary sources and everybody between and made it to here. A couple tidbits of bad info won't kill anyone they'll figure it out if they have the intelligence to grow in the first place. So I've been a little less concerned with making everything 100% noob friendly. Im sure i even have some bad info in some of my stuff.(especially if you look up 4+ year old posts of mine lol) and i guarantee if i disappeared for 10 years and came back id be half obsolete. So in a lengthy way im saying keep on keeping on. We need people with your energy and desire to teach and share.



This ^^^ :thumbup:
   
    I’m on my second successful(so far anyways) grow thanks to your write ups Bod. And you are absolutely right about Gordo. Not everyone can give 100% effort and energy into teaching others, at least not all the time. I haven’t finished the video yet or this thread but Gordo if you are reading this keep it up man, the videos very well put together and regardless of differences in opinion in reference to your methodology the video format it’s self is enough to put you in high regard in my opinion. It’s refreshing to kick back, watch and listen, versus hours of straining to read tiny text on a screen. :mushroom2:

No, I wouldn't recommend the video. I do appreciate the effort. I am always curious
about how people do things and there's not many videos out there that have this
scope. And that voice! He could do news on NPR :lol:

Like I said, there's a laundry list of things I wouldn't do: the H202, the incubation,
filling tubs with water to harvest, sterno sterilization, using a razor blade instead
of a scalpel...and other stuff I can't remember.

But I think there's a way to point this stuff out AND encourage someone
to be a part of the community. I think he cares and that's what's important to me.



Note that in the revised version, I made it more clear that supplemental heat was only required if your room temps were below 70F (a fair criticism that I have fixed in the vid, my room temps as shown were 58F at my workstation and 63F in the grow room).  I also made it more clear that H2O2 is controversial and that many don't recommend it, and yet careful experimentation has shown that it is good for inhibiting spore germination and does little to hinder healthy mycelial growth.  This is more important if you are growing on wood, which most in this forum don't seem to do (sadly?).  Wood contaminates far more easily than coir. But I think its useful for growing on any substrate, and this is based on the work of Dr. Randall Rush Wayne  (who has Masters degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California).

Regarding flame sterilization and cutting implements, I wanted to demonstrate that a variety of tools will work, in fact I name and show numerous options.  For example at this point you can see me flame sterilizing a scalpel with a propane torch those are indeed better tools (although a tool that can be autoclaved is superior).  But your criticism is fair, I could have provided more commentary, for example rapidly flame sterilizing is more important when working with a still air box, and yes I wouldn't normally use a razor either, but wanted to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money, even a cheap razor and $1 sterno can will get the job done (also note that a razor CAN be autoclaved which in many ways could be superior to other implements).  A blue flame lighter also works for flame sterilizing, I especially like those high capacity ones with simple slide ignition (they are also great for vaporizing certain substances).

It's ironic that people who (supposedly) grow a substance that results in ego death, can have so much of an ego problem, isn't it?  :wink:
Many newbies are turned off by certain forums which have a reputation for being unkind, unfriendly, and full of egomaniacs.  I have a pretty thick skin and a calm demeanor, so I just roll with it :wink:  this is also why I recommend people give the Griffiths protocol a try by the way... and introduce someone else to it (be their guide) - see what we can do to actually help people and to make the world a better place instead of quibbling online and not getting anything meaningful accomplished.

Regards,
Gordo

Some people are here to bring people down. A funny thing to go along with mushroom cultivation and well eating those mushrooms too.
We should all build each other up.



:cheers: to that.  And I completely agree with your harvest ideas - I've never had a problem with stumps, clean cuts heal over fast and actually PREVENT contamination from entering the block.  I like NOT cleaning mushroom stems or picking substrate off of them which can be very time consuming.  I like NOT leaving big craters in the block too.  Also certain strains (like the one in my vid) produce large connected (near the base) clusters - there is no way to pull these up without heavy damage to the block.

Gordo-thanks for all the effort you put into this. I like that many don't agree with your methods, because it makes threads like this a better learning experience. I love reading all the different opinions, and taking what I need from the debate to improve my process.

Also, I'm forever indebted to you for your DMT tek. It was the first one I used to extract DMT (I've since moved on to joshisom's tek), and I bought your dream maker tool. I've also used it to introduce some friends to DMT. You're a force for good in the world :thumbup:

I second the thanks Gordo, I am also following your stuff and have been researching along with you.

While I suppose there is some merit in the observation that most of us praising this video are "noobs", I think there's also merit in the observation that we saw 30 lbs of shrooms harvested from 5 tubs, so H2O2/heater-in-a-cooler/whatever-else-people-are-criticizing isn't likely to cause your grow to fail, and there's a lot of useful information here in an easy-to-find format. I'm happy to see people quibbling about whether unmodified tubs or dialed-in tubs are "best", but it's pretty clear that what's presented in this video will work.

Thanks, Gordo!

That said, the one thing I didn't see (maybe I missed it) was a discussion of "fruiting conditions". It looks like you're sealing the spawn/substrate mix in your tubs at the beginning, and introducing fresh air exchange on day 4, with a note that some people start with fresh air exchange on day 1.

I've seen discussions where FAE seems to be touted as what kicks off fruiting -- % colonization + evaporation. Your "day 4" advice didn't seem to depend on conditions -- your MS tub that hadn't fruited before one of the isolated strain tubs was on its 2nd flush was presumably "aired out" at the same time they were. If Day 1 vs Day 4 FAE doesn't make a difference, probably it doesn't matter, but I'd expect that if FAE really kicks off fruiting, the conditions inside the tub would affect when it should be introduced.

I'm 8 days into a single unmodified tub, which is colonizing well (I only had 3 quart jars of spawn that looked uncontaminated, which I mixed with a 650g brick of coir, so I expected it to take more than 7 days to get to full colonization) and smells earthy. I'm seeing some rhizomorphic growth, but no pins, and I'm sure I still have a lot to learn on moisture levels. My temperatures are a bit on the cool side too, especially at night, but I'm happy with this as a first effort, and hopeful that it will yield fruits before the end of the month.

Thanks to everyone who shares information on this site, even to those who grumble about information shared by others.

From all the reading ive been doing this seems to be the most comprehensive video put together all in one place. As a noob ive had to piece concepts and time frames together (although when I read Frank Horrigans 12 step process it clarified things a bit better for me) from start to finish but watching a video vs someone typing a process really helps people like me that are a bit more visual.  I totally understand the differences of opinion with certain subjects like h202 so I cant dispute or argue one way or another as im a novice.


The one thing that I may add as a suggestion to make things easier...you can drill a hole in the very bottom corner of the tub, maybe 1/4 inch or so. And then just duct tape it to keep the hole closed, and the only time you open it is in the tub to drain the dunk water. Might be a bit easier than syphoning the water out... Thoughts?

Either way, keep up the good work man, really appreciate it in video form.

Agreed. Bottom watering is so easy idk why youd want to dunk your tub. Tried it once (actually twice, first time my dog literally ran into the bathroom and jumped into the tub :mad2:) and broke the fuck outta the sub so never again lmao

Dam lol.
Yeah I wanted to come up with the easiest way for my gf. She's not got big muscles. but I held back from drilling a hole. Totally figured side watering was the easiest way. I also transition the tilt in the morning and at night to only give 1 end water then the other after 12 hours. Seems to be working really well. I just stick something under in the tote so it's tilted. The blocks are always thirsty. I'm on my 4th flush of a single PE 66qt tote. I bet the single tote gave me a pound dry. It's just going and going lol

so you use side watering to bring the sub up high enough to harvest, then maybe flip to havest any potential side pins... but then how do you drain the water from the tub while the sub is floating on the water? Thats what I was referring to with drilling a hole; to drain the water after harvesting your flush (without having to syphon or tilt and possible break the tub). Or are you saying you keep one side of the sub floating on water, then every 12 hours you flip it or something?
