Thanks for your detailed posts and continued updates!  I started my first ever B+ / Golden Teach Pf-Tek grow on 6/12 right about when you started this grow, so it's been great to watch and compare progress.  I'm into my second flush now, and getting ok results for cakes, but nothing like this of course!

I'm definitely trying agar and bulk substrate for my second grow.  What seemed daunting 2 months ago now looks like just a another process step, and actually eliminates a lot of hassles.  I already have 2 test plates going from my first-ever spore print.  I cheated and bought pre-poured plates, will learn to do that the right way eventually.  I found a local source of horse oats, cheap! One of the brands shown in BOD's tek.

Just wanted to say thanks again for the inspiration to move past PF-Tek.  My first 11 (!!!) shoeboxes of Clone->Agar->Oats->Bulk are just starting to pin. Looks like the are going to be AMAZING.  I lost one oat jar to contam, and I suspect it was from the plate I transferred off.  It had a little green spot just starting on the far side of the plate, must have spread it's spores around.  Lesson learned.

I used mostly BOD's Teks for prep, and then ShaperDreaming's Shoebox Tek for spawning, both to the letter.

I'm also running ONE shoebox full of Uncle Ben's, just because I was curious, I had a spare MS syringe with no other plans, and I'm the type of person where if you tell me the stove is hot, I have to touch it and see for myself. I had no expectations, but used the best sterile technique I could.  2 of the 4 UB bags were grossly contamed and were trashed after opening, the other 2 bags were combined with CVG, spawned to a shoebox and are doing well so far. 

But the once you have the equipment, Oat jars and agar are clearly WAY cheaper to run and far more reliable. 50 lbs of oats costs $20 and is enough to make 120 shoeboxes.  17 cents per shoebox. After the contams, took me 4 bags of pre-cooked rice to make one shoebox - $8 per shoebox. Almost 50 times more expensive. 

For other newbs like me to reference, these are the Teks I used:

Awesome!  Do you have any suggestions on anything in the original post that is a gap in people's/your knowledge that may help in the future?





What I found helpful about this thread was that it extracted some key steps from the more detailed Teks and summarized them in an easy to follow sequence.  It helped connect the different Teks together for me.

As a newb, one thing I struggled with is that I'd find a great Tek for say, making agar plates, or prepping grain, but I'd be missing knowledge of key steps to tie the different Teks together, for example:

  • How to transfer spores from a print to an agar plate
  • How to clone from a fruit to agar
  • How cut wedges and transfer them to grain jars (where in the culture to transfer from, how big should they be, shake after transfer or not, that sort of thing)


It took a lot of digging in the search engine and reading posts from TC's to get there, and really just some time practicing and experimenting.

Sorry if I'm monopolizing your thread, but I had to share.  Thanks again for your help. Can't believe what happened overnight....

Hey, for each 6qt sized shoebox, I used: 

1 quart jar oat spawn (a quart jar 3/4 full-ish = 1 myco-quart)
CVG mix consisting of 3 pints coir, 1 pint verm, 1/4 cup Gypsum
Topped off with 1 pint plain coir.

Recipe came from here:  https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20469910; Edited my previous post to add it.

Just under field capacity worked fine.  I've never grown P. Natalensis, but from what I've read it grows about the same as Cubensis, and in fact it took DNA analysis to confirm they were actually different species.

As far as yields - from my 11 boxes I harvested just over 450g dry. 40g per shoebox. That's a full pound! First flush was 200g, second 150, third 100, still have a few stragglers going in a 4'th flush. I've got my trips covered for the next year or two.
