Best place to get raw materials?
    #26913023 - 09/02/20 12:29 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

hello everyone! Was making this post to see what everyone suggests. And yes I have already looked at the shroomery sponsers page. I just wanted to see what everyone results are.

I am looking to get raw materials ordered, “coco coir, vermiculite, organic rye berries, spawn bags, etc.

What is best for a American buyer. I noticed some people selling 25lb bags for $39.95 and I see some selling 5lb bags for $20+ of rye berries.

Just trying to see what my best reliable option is for the best bang for my buck. I remember ordering a few years ago from a sponsor and don’t remember which one I used?

Also noticed some sponsors list their products in pounds instead of dollars, which I assume means they ship overseas and I’d hate a 2month waiting period.

Spawn bags, unicorn bags are the best but I use chinese bags from ebay with good success. YMMV.

Grain, go to a feed store. Might need to venture out to a more rural area but anywhere with animal/farm feed will have wheat, millet, oats or rye. Last resort use wild bird seed from walmart or similar department store.

Vermiculite, gardening stores, walmart, etc.

Coco coir, petsmart has eco earth, hydroponics stores usually carry it now though the price may not be the best. IF you can find the 5kg massive bricks somewhere like walmart or home depot may carry them.

I wouldn't recommend ordering too much online, things like grain, coir, verm are generally cheapest at brick and mortar places but I have ordered large quantities of eco earth from amazon when in a pinch.

I remember a few years back when I did mycology, that pets mart and feed stores had all my grains and raw materials for substrate and spawn. Thank you for that reminder. Do you possibly have a link for the eBay bags?

Thank you very much! I actually wanted to share this. They are these little humidity metered. I planned on adding a little double sided tape and sticking it on the inside. They seem fairly accurate. And for a few $ a piece, might be a good piece of mind type meter to make sure everything is equalized on temp and humidity range, yes you can just use a hydrometer or something similar, but those usually cost a little more if your trying to run multiple. Here’s a few helpful items.

You wont need a hydrometer or any device for measuring humidity

If I remember right, I would only need those meters for BRF/PF Tek or shotgun FC’s right? I feel as I can just watch condensation on my monotubs and judge humidity by that, but for $20 wouldn’t it be nice to see the 80%-98% humidity # as a peace of mind? If I remember right as long as you dial
Them in on the first day or two of fruiting you’ll only need to mist once a day,

Also, just left my local pet store with 15 coir bricks for about $30-$40. Now I’m headed to feed store and hardware store to find vermiculite.
