What are the most important items for you grow * 1
    #26494210 - 02/19/20 10:59 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

So I wanted to get some new items to add to the team. Curious what items you guys use, that you could just NOT go without. Im thinking some will say a flow hood. I have a pretty expensive inline fan or whatever for growing weed, and saw teks for making flow hoods with them. What are your most crucial items?

Glove box, which is obvious :smile: but the not so obvisou tools? My hand was broke a while back so it was hard for me to wrap my agar plates with cling wrap, so I made a little wrapper with a turn table and cling wrap so it would wrap it for me ahah lazinessssssss, but hey, my hand was fucked!

Dehydrator. Vacuum sealer. Water bath. In that order, most likely.

Dried fruits, it's cheaper long term than buying mason jars, especially since I spread the love and let my friends keep the jars I give them.

I'm not sure how one would use a vacuum sealer to suck out contams.

thats interesting..i used to work as a temp many many years ago for a aerospace company where we would layer these peices of fiber glass to for shapes of parts. We would vacuum seal it and they would go into a huge ass autoclave. Someone told me that the vacuum pulled out air from the parts - just curious if maybe a vacuum seal could work like a flow hood..pulling contams, just a thought

My horse. His name is KFC and I bought him so I could have an endless supply of high quality hpoo. He is on a strict gluten-free diet (i feed him old spent substrate and then he recycles it into new substrate) making everything a self sufficient cycle that is both eco friendly AND environmentally friendly.

Well, a laminar flow hood gives you a steady stream of filtered air. Adding a vacuum to that environment would make the stream of air chaotic and not laminar, which would increase the probability of contamination.

That's not how a flow hood works. You're not going to be able to 'pull' contams off anything with anything.

Flow hoods use HEPA filters to create a current of clean air for you to work in front of. Most folks don't have them, and use an SAB (Still Air Box) instead.

Most important item for you to grow: spores.

Do you seal before all the air is vacuumed out or you let the vacuum sealer run its course? I have a food saver, the expensive ass one with the bag maker and suction hose for vacuum sealing zipper bags Mason jars and marinating tubs. I've used it for prints buds and food quite a bit(especially for marinating some carme asada). Had it for 3 years now. Always been scared to use it on my mushrooms though. I know mine will crush the shit outta them. I've used it to seal them but always hot seal now button before it gets a chance to vacuum out all the air.

You are feeding your horse spent horse manure so that he can shit out more manure for you to grow on? Poor horse what a shitty life he must have. Bet the fucker is always high though.

Yeah I usually hit seal early, if the fruits are particularly big I'll separate the caps and stems and lay them both flat, that helps with the crush factor.

But, even then, I don't mid if they get crushed, they're going into tea anyway.

I'd say the best and most important tool is a PC. You almost can't even begin anything without one, short of steaming jars and doing PF Tek. Speaking of it jars are obviously vital.
Also there's all the obvious jackassey shit like spores>agar>grains>etc.
Flowhood is fuckin great to have but it's definitely not a vital tool.

Tamale Steamer, lots of bowls and nice spoons, bulk BRF, lots of half-pint Wide Mouth glass jars, paper towels, labelled spray bottles, two glass measuring cups, clear SAB, tinfoil, Awl tool, rubber mallet, black colored SGFC with semi-clear top, desk lamp (all for PF Tek).

That's pretty precise shit then of the air has to be sucked completely out in the molding process. I work with fiberglass quite a bit and nothing more than a mold with a releasing agent is needed most of the time. Shit most of the time I don't use a mold I will build a form and reinforce with chop mat and resin. Sometimes weave mat but it kinda sucks.
Back on topic.
The main difference here is you are voiding air from a container as when vacuum molding as opposed to sucking air into a open space which will just suck contams into the work space. Neither allows clean air though. One would use lack of air the other would cause a air current. :shrug:

Fair enough I just hate crushing them. Same with buds. I hate when a nice fluffy bud is compressed down in the sealer. I also have severe OCD though so this probably explains a lot.

Also OP to me the most important item is a stove or another heat source. 2nd is PC. 3rd is agar.
Everything else is substitutable to me. Don't have a scalpel use a knife
No petris use a small pp5 container, jar, cup, shot glass whatever. No SAB or flowhood use a cardboard box with Saran wrap or plastic. No MEA plenty of substitutes. No sfds use unmodified lids or rip open a old pillow, you can even use just foil if no other alternatives. Spores are only important the first time you can grow from a slant for years.
I can't think of something that I can't easily substitute. Atleast not something that's not already commonly available.
If there's a will there's a way.
I lived in a damn near abandoned trailer in the middle of nowhere for years. No job, no money, no power, no car stranded. Always found a alternative and grew a fucking assload of shrooms. I was a resourceful little shit. I'm glad I made my way out of that situation but I learned a lot. You don't actually need most of what you think you need.

Glad you’re doing well man. I already have a smaller sterlite SAB, PC, polfyil or Micropore, the basics. I was curious if people were going to say for example, an alcohol lamp is useful rather than a lighter.. stuff like that. I have a nice inline fan from when I grew weed, and was thinking about making a flow hood with it. Is that even worth it if I’m not growing a ton of mushrooms? I mean I’m buying my gear for agar literally right now, and I’d like to get 15-20shoeboxes going and many 3-5 monos going  Maximum id say. Thoughts bud?

Don't worry about a flow hood at all right now, unless you just wanna spend money for something you don't need. The consensus seems to be get good in an SAB before you think about a flow hood. Just make sure it's like 110 qt. It gets cramped in there if they are too small.

A torch seems preferred to an open flame like that. I got a small refillable one for 6$. I like having multiple scalpels to use so I can keep a flow going a little more.

To the OP, are we talking about equipment or supplies? What do you already have? What do you plan on doing?

For equipment I'd agree with a PC and SAB.

It's called vacuum bagging and is used for manufacturing composites that cannot have any air bubbles in the finished product(among other reasons).

Mr Wizard what torch do you have? Any will do?

And Sir Pentinite, Either equipment or supplies. I want to be able to get a nice sized grow going, maby say 15 or so shoeboxes and 5 or so monos. I have 9 WBS quarts going (2 are going to be spawnable soon,) and 6 BRF. I want to do only grains now.

I have the basics.

16QT PC (Ill do multiple runs rather than buy a new one)
8QT Electric PC for agar and such

64QT Sterlite SAB (need a bigger one)
Quart Jars
Polyfil and Micropore tape
MS Spores from vendor youd recommend
Etc..

What I was thinking about getting:
Agar supplies (Telephone brand agar, pasty plates materials)
Scalpel
Torch
Shoeboxes
Rye (maby other grains for experimental reasons.)

I just want to have a nice constant flow of agar, jars, and tubs. Im really excited about agar, I genuinely enjoyed growing weed and barely smoked.. gave 95% of it to my girlfriend. I enjoy this so far. Ive done a lot of reading, but trying to get a rhythm going. I read too much IMO. Counterintuitive I think.

The most important Items for Me Grow is:
Cadco Hot Plate
Presto and AA Pressure cooker
Outdoor camping Propane burner
Flowhood


This works for me, it is my heavy equipment set up. I am not saying it is needed in anyway, but over time I have added pieces to my collection that have made life easier and increased my success. You don't need any of these items to start, (save the presto) but over time they have helped me learn and grow.

And Sir Pentinite, Either equipment or supplies. I want to be able to get a nice sized grow going, maby say 15 or so shoeboxes and 5 or so monos. I have 9 WBS quarts going (2 are going to be spawnable soon,) and 6 BRF. I want to do only grains now.

I have the basics.

16QT PC (Ill do multiple runs rather than buy a new one)
8QT Electric PC for agar and such

64QT Sterlite SAB (need a bigger one) 110Qt 20 bucks at wally world
Quart Jars  12 for $7.00 most walmarts
Polyfil and Micropore tape  (Polyfill maybee $3.00 craft store-Microporetape sucks)
MS Spores from vendor youd recommend
Etc..

What I was thinking about getting:
Agar supplies (Telephone brand agar, pasty plates materials)
Scalpel  (exacto Knife at craft store $5)
Torch  $6 tops at gas station
Shoeboxes .89 at walmart
Rye (maby other grains for experimental reasons.)  Oats $15.00 at feed store for 50Lbs

I just want to have a nice constant flow of agar, jars, and tubs. Im really excited about agar, I genuinely enjoyed growing weed and barely smoked.. gave 95% of it to my girlfriend. I enjoy this so far. Ive done a lot of reading, but trying to get a rhythm going. I read too much IMO. Counterintuitive I think.

I use a Cadco hotplate as an electric burner that I run outside to do my PC cycles. It's not needed I just got booted to the garage many years ago.

Propane, or butane, whichever is clever for you. This torch is butane, I didn't want something with a big tank to have to keep around in my lab.

Lol I feel that. Before I started especially I read so many different opinions and teks and was almost trying this be a perfectionist before I even started, if you know what I mean. It’s paying off now though, confident with where I’m at!

Do you seal before all the air is vacuumed out or you let the vacuum sealer run its course? I have a food saver, the expensive ass one with the bag maker and suction hose for vacuum sealing zipper bags Mason jars and marinating tubs. I've used it for prints buds and food quite a bit(especially for marinating some carme asada). Had it for 3 years now. Always been scared to use it on my mushrooms though. I know mine will crush the shit outta them. I've used it to seal them but always hot seal now button before it gets a chance to vacuum out all the air.




Yeah I usually hit seal early, if the fruits are particularly big I'll separate the caps and stems and lay them both flat, that helps with the crush factor.

But, even then, I don't mid if they get crushed, they're going into tea anyway.



Fair enough I just hate crushing them. Same with buds. I hate when a nice fluffy bud is compressed down in the sealer. I also have severe OCD though so this probably explains a lot.




The secret is to put your bud in a ziploc bag and seal it with a little air in it.  Then you vacuum seal the ziploc bag and the vacuum bag will pull tight around the ziploc but the air you left in the ziploc will keep the vacuum from crushing the bud. :wink: :howyoudoing:

I wouldn't do that for shrooms though, you don't want extra air in there, let em get crushed, potency>aesthetics.  :rollsafe:  :micdrop:

PC and alcohol for disinfecting.


--------------------
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
