Few quick things-

You'll never hide 15 tubs worth of cooking, tubs etc from roommates. Even drying puts out a fungus smell.

If busted,everyone going down for that size operation. Should discussed as a household, before anything starts, if they are against, then you are outta luck. Wait til you have your own place.

It's actually, kinda uncool to put them in potential danger. Just the smell of the PC
is going to be very noticeable in an entire, even large house. You will be consuming the kitchen for days on end.

I take it that you rent,  are you moving in the next year.

I'd get a mini fridge without the freezer,  don't need for any portion of of cultivating, it's the enemy. And freezers mess with fridge temp.

How predictable is the landlord.

Just staying, many things to take into consideration before even buying anything. Your PC is a bit small for multi tubs, should have gotten 23qt. If you have a full time job, you won't be able to pull off 15 tubs in a run. If you travel a lot,  not conducive to cultivating.

Good luck on your venture, but you MUST think about consequences for your roommates.

Roommates, if saw the operation, without being informed, I guarantee, it will not end well for anyone. They will be pissed, and demand you tear it down immediately, and toss you out, if they are on lease. Shit, they could call the cops on you. Ya never know.

Staging is definitely necessary if it’s just you.  You can practice multiple tubs by doing 6 shoe boxes in stages, keep track of everything time wise and easily figure out a larger scale grow by simply multiplying your work load.  Shoe boxes are good for culture tests too.. nice and fast without a lot of risk

If you have a rocker weight pc, you can add a few quarters (taped or glued) to the weight so it doesn’t start rocking until 18psi.. just make sure you vent the pc for 10 minutes before you add the weight.  Keeps things quiet.  If you don’t feel like doing that, you can put a large mug over the weight to muffle the sound



I had to put a cork between the mug and lid handle so it didn’t slowly migrate towards the edge, impeding the rocker weight from rocking

Yeah i did the 3 quarter trick, they pop right into the AA pc weight its perfect. But venting and the occasional hiss and the overall kitchen hassle of having that on ur stove for long time is what i mean. It seems do=able until your sitting there watching a pressure gauge every 10-15 minutes for days on end lmfao

cancelled 16qt order (they hadnt sent it yet) and am getting bigger.

also i go camping (overnight) and plan on rinsing rye berries, loading everything up in the car, and using a butane stove to pressure cook some jars while im roasting doggies or somethin. let it cool overnight and go home in the morning to inoculate at home.

You can take a hot pad and a pc anywhere you got a plug. I wouldnt risk it personally but then again as long as u dont have anything illegal it isnt illegal to sterilize grains in the middle of nowhere.

Yea just jars of grain are fine. You’ll probably be getting the presto 23qt. It will do 10 qts at a time and only costs a hundo or so. But you have to be careful using a propane stove. You want one with a small diameter to match the tough part on the bottom of the PC and less than 12k btu i believe it is. Otherwise it can soften the metal and the bottom will bulge and possibly weaken in a bad way. Not good. The thicker bottom plate is 8” diam.

Soak the berries for 20-24 hours, then bring to a quick boil, strain and dry. Soaking prevents bursting when bringing to a a boik but most importantly,  soaking is hydrading the grains, and purpose of heating is for quicker drying. Gotta understand moisture content and proper drying before loading grains in to jars.

im ordering petri dishes, etc and am having the most frustrating time.
my issue is finding everything in one place (website) and not paying out the ass for it. some websites charge $6 for the same 20pk of petri dishes another one is charging $15. im not new to this internet shopping bullshit but man some of this stuff is pretty specific.
pressure cooker tomorrow, mini fridge tomorrow, and i got spores. all i need is agar equip. and im ready to roll.
