Anyone bother with those tests? If I'm reading right it's 25 bucks a test.

Here we are lol this was last night before bed. They looked pretty much the same this morning, but they've gotten to the point that when I come home from my 12-hour shift they are usually quite a bit bigger and the veils are starting to rip. I'm thinking I'm just days away from my first harvest

I got 1000 mL borciliate media bottle. I need a pressure cooker that would be big enough to comfortably fit it. What’s a really nice big all American that you guys would recommend.

Baba Yaga Recommended one that had eight pins. Looking for something that big.
Preferably blue if I can choose out of the All American.
They seem to list current models though, so if somebody has a link to one of the old models that would be great.

I have the smaller presto which works great for me. Granted I'm not doing a ton. The bigger presto isn't much more expensive and can hold much more, but being in an apartment I didn't want issues storing it.

It is. It was my first attempt at it after failing with court jars of popcorn and a couple of AIO bags. I figured this was worth a shot. There was a point that I was highly worried that it was failing and then all of a sudden it started growing faster than I ever could have expected. When I had little tiny millimeter tall pins like 5 days ago, I did not expect that I would be looking at Vail starting to rip today. I would definitely recommend it. It seems like it's definitely worth a shot. I took a couple of the cakes that I had and shredded them into a tub to take them to bulk. I'm sure I'll post my results here Good or bad

I moved my spawn to bulk on June 16th. Now, ten days later, there is a lot of growth under the casing layer but it hasn’t broke through yet.

My field capacity was perfect at the time I moved to bulk. The sides of my tub have a bit of misty moisture but the lid is dry.

My quick question is:

Do I leave everything alone and be patient or should I mist the interior to help the process?

Worded differently:

How do you know if/when you should mist; especially when the top layer is just coir and you can’t see if water is beading in the surface?


Edit: added the following details. Type is Jack Frost.  Location is high desert so it’s very dry here.  Average temps in the grow area are 70-89

it would help to see a picture, but if you grab a pinch of coir out of the bag it comes in and spray it and squeeze the moisture out until only a few drops (field capacity), you can look at how dark the coir looks and compare to your tub. honestly though i think you might be overthinking a little bit, but if the coir in your tub is way lighter, than maybe give it a little misting.

Oh I’m absolutely overthinking it, but I need to do something (aka posting here) so I don’t make a big mistake in an effort to help.

Good advice on the color. I’ll check.

Ok. I think I’m good.  There is double the moisture this morning on the walls and lid. Additionally, mycelium has finally poked through in two tiny spots in the casing layer.  I’m gonna leave it alone and continue to monitor.

I’m a “seasoned noobie” and my approach is to run pftek at the same time as I fumble my way through my first run on grains.  Pftek is incredibly forgiving. I actually did it wrong the first time, inoculated the dry verm at the top.  The myc just sat there on top for a month, gray and sad, until I took them under the SAB and shoved the myc down into the substrate.  Within a week or two, all of them were colonized.  Birthing three of them, four I just shredded up and put into bottle tek.  The verm casing is colonized, expecting fruits any day now.  Probably weeks away from grain being colonized, cased, and fruited, but I’m already starting on the next round of pftek with a different strain. 



How much will the final yield of your fruits from all of the cakes weigh?  I’ll guess fresh 200g, dry 20g.  :shrug:

Is it ever too late to send a plin to grain? I have some agar plates which are about 10 months old, stored in a dark cabinet, which plinned. Mexicana, natalensis, and semperviva.

Not really, no.
I've sent black scraps of old dried up plins and they kick off quickly.

Just grow them.  Landlord needs 24 hour notice to come into your rental, plenty of time to put things in totes where they cannot be seen.

I’ve been growing drugs for 15 years, and since I don’t tell people I do not have a problem.  Renting the whole way.


This does make me feel a lot better about the idea, thank you!


What state are you in (geographic, not mental)? I live in urban California and I know hundreds of people who use mushrooms and/or other psychedelics, including politicians and professionals with high-visibility jobs. Probably fewer than 15 people I know actually grow mushrooms (or have told me about it).  I know a similar number of people who offer therapy or guided trips, but nobody who would offer a baggie of mushrooms for sale. None of these people I know have been busted since the 1980's (and that was for weed, back when possession of any amount was a felony).

If I lived in a place where laws and attitudes are harsher, I'd be way more careful.

This is actually common and should be expected. For some reason it colonizes the bottom part before reaching upwards.

Do spore prints and spore swabs go bad? I am from the Philippines and I was thinking of having spore prints/swabs sent to me from the US, but it'll be by boat which will take up to 2 months to arrive
