What am I missing here? 1

I'm very new here, and I don't have any growing experience yet. I thought I was sure of what I was going to do, but after checking out the getting started forum I am not sure.
From what I'd read on Reddit, it seemed like there was a tried and true way of doing a PF Tech. Some of the things people are asking in the getting started forum have me wondering now. Are the people in there just making up their own stuff as they go? I just saw a post about a still air box with a chimney in it for the alcohol lamp. I obviously have no idea what the box is supposed to look like if I am supposed to have a chimney in my still air box.
I feel like maybe I need to unlearn everything I have learned so far and start over if this is how things are supposed to be done. Or, are these people not getting it? Like, all the questions in there are either people who really don't have any idea how to do mushrooms, or else I totally don't even get it.
Should I just pick a PF Tech and do it, and ignore the getting started forum, or do I need to go back to square one? Give it to me straight, I can take it.

A lot is given to maintaining a sterile environment. While it's true, I have found just working in an open/clean environment (and being clean yourself) is sufficient. I think people get really into the hobby and just start finding ways to take it to the next level.
Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and spray your work area.

Simple enough! Thank you.
The getting started forum is very confusing.

My advice is as you are googling Shroomery stuff with your questions PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATES of the post.
Some of the old stuff is wrong, dumb, and otherwise. Since getting back into it after a decade long hiatus I have had nothing but success following anything written by bod. Easy As Fuck = KISS, "Keep it simple, stupid"
And there's nothing more beneficial to growing cubensis than keeping it simple I've found so far. Every attempt to complicate things adds another vector of fuck uppery.

The getting started forum is where new people post retarded ideas. Don't confuse that for trusted techniques. Read stickies and links within the signatures of trusted cultivators. People with higher post counts are generally safer than those with 1-5.

Okay, finally someone just said it. Thank you. That's what I was wondering about.

Reez: terrible advice.
Ladysknight your not talking about me again 
Bound2grow: use the search function and click on the trusted Cultivators button and sear for Bodhisatta.
He has everything well documented.
And feel free to ask any questions here.

not to mention the still air box is supposed to have, well.. Still air, a flame would create air currents
Also, if youre planning on doing this as a hobby or whatever and its not just a one time thing, buy a pressure cooker and skip pf tek and go straight to grains. Just my opinion though

I did absolutely everything wrong. But was clean enough, that it was fool proof you got this.
Keep it clean, and keep it simple. the simpler, the better.

Try this Tek out. Its the best: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24179086
The forums are a bit confusing at first, so take your time to figure out all the buttons and navigation.

Not naming names either, but too much truth in this post. There's some who lurk in the southern forums down there...yikes.

I mean it's doable. But I don't think the failure rate would be acceptable for anyone taking things remotely serious. If I had no other option, you best believe I'd be doing shit out in the open to keep going. But I'd sure as hell be planning on throwing a bunch of shit away in the process lol.

I think if you were to do agar or grains in open air maybe the high desert or Arizona in the summer might work. I mean actually doing open air work outside . But everyone's house is riddled with molds and no one has a mold free home.

I mean if your just doing something that requires you to press a needle in and take it out its possible but definitely not if your opening up jars and plates and what not. If your gonna do something you mine aswell do it right the first time.
Also op start with agar and the pf tek is simple and less risk of fucking your whole project up and you can still get a couple ounces in a couple months if you do everything right. But grains are nothing you can't handle either but you risk it a little more but get a greater reward.
Just stick around here you'll get everything down in time and be transformed into a whole new world.

If you take the time to read through all this, you will (and at first it might seem like a daunting read) be fully squared away. Worth. Every. Minute. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24297804 It's in the sticky threads but no onw seems to find it. Bodhisatta's simplified cultivation methods. Should be required reading followed by a quiz IME.

Fuckin aye. 
If you commit to sitting down and reading this stuff, you will be able to start making sense of this all very quickly and weed out bad info yourself. It will supercede all the questionables presented on your post (mix of excelent advice, meh advice and bad advice). You'll be very well equipped. Best of luck on your forthcoming venture.
