Kloakk said:"Bukkake tendencies" :rofl:


I thought of a good variety name today if anyone has a sub-variety of it that does something different, but still dumps ounces of spores:
"Bukkake Dawn"

If I'd thought of that in April 2024, that is what it would be called.


I think that naming a shroom that sounds like a porn star name might be a good marketing strategy.

I have a PC, I guess its just the universe pushing me to make my own.


100% make your own stuff. You're going to end up at that point anyway, so you might as well save yourself the headaches and the poor results and just get to work figuring it out. This community is on another level and so long as you're putting the work in, you will always find people who will help you get your feet under ya. 🤙

I'd see if you could get your money back man. I get through a sponsor and their ates are always nice I've only ever gotten one yeast colony on over a hundred plates I've ordered.



Thanks. I've spent a good chunk so far trying to grow and I keep failing. Feeling disappointed today and will pick myself back up and try again. Hard not to feel discouraged. T_T


Is the morning commute so im gonna reply to this and keep it moving.  If anyone wants to bump a question that wasn't answered I'll reply when I get settled. 

This is the main reason we advise doing everything yourself from scratch. 

It's really easy and that way you have an idea where things went wrong.

When you buy things pre-made you have no clue how thorough the person doing it was. 

That's why I don't buy pre processed fruits and veggies. 

I can prep lettuce and slice watermelon and I know if I washed it.

Same thing with agar, grain, aio bags,  and other vendor made products.

Atleast you don't need a pc to slice strawberries, but did you wash up after the bathroom? Can't say the teenager in the deli did

I was going to try that method. Last time I made a coir casing I just soaked it in hot water then squeezed till it wouldn't produce water anymore. I didn't measure the water added probably double what I needed. The chestnut mushrooms colinzed it just fine ate through the casing layer till they fruited and finally stopped growing mycelium.

Don't you just have to squeeze it super hard? I thought it doesn't matter how much water as long as you squeezed it to field capacity.


Yes. You can squeeze out the remaining water.

But the situation I kept finding myself in was never squeezing out enough water out. And with the way the video is so hap hazard about the 3.5q of water it made it sound like over wasn’t a big deal. Plus gypsum is completely not needed.

So if I went an over “about 3.5g of water” it was too much.

With coco bliss I go “about 3.25q of water” and heavy handed on the vermiculite and am getting pretty perfect field capacity.

For me also he made any ole coir off the zon sound like a success. Dig around here and you’ll see not “any ole coir” will work and some are for gardening and have trych.

It’s probably his teaching style that would lead me to not recommend him. He’s not wrong. But using his approach worked fine for GT and B+ runs. They just wanna grow and don’t care apparently. As soon as I messed with higher potency strains they were lack luster performers.

And the any ole coir of zon issue I can for certain say doesn’t work cause I just did two runs of WR. Same master jar genetics. I had some Legolas coir left and did it with proper capacity and it tryched out. Bleach cleaned my cooler, did it same way except with coco bliss and it’s a going very good atm. The center of my sub fully colonized and pins in all four corners and the center at same time

Ordered these agar dishes, package came all liquidy and non-congealed.


They seem fairly packaged, but overall disappointed with the fact that none of these seem to be cured. Are these worth saving by putting in the fridge or should I ask for my money back?



Demand your money back, I don't know what happened here, but if the manufacturer sees this, they should feel like chucking their head in a chipper.

As others will undoubtedly say too: pour your own. If you have a PC, that is. We all don't mind looking over your shoulder if you have any questions about the process. In your sig, you say you've wasted a lot of plates. Well, maybe they were wasted plates, that just went through your hands on their way to the trashcan.

Pour yourself a batch (or do no-pour) and experiment away with your certified clean plates. If all your cultures go south, dm me and I'll send you new ones. Just please, don't torture yourself with this crap.

Instead of posting a bunch of “what he said” emojis, I’m just gonna chime in to some of the newer folks that people are responding to. There is a lot of great advice being given here on the last bunch of posts….listen to it. There is a lot of experience here coming from the people giving advice and guiding you and they are trying to help you, and make things easier for you with proven results.

also the pf tek is easy to learn, since 7 out of 10 growers never seem to appear more than once, give som idiotic statement, do some research or just fail. I always say the pf tek is where to begin because its graspable even to people who are new.

Doesn't it help with giving signals to the mycelium to grow?


Nope.  Literally no benefit.

I cannot stress enough that clean spawn, genetic selection, and proper spawning conditions are all that's important.  There is no magic additive that is going to make anyone's cube grow better.  Not H2O2, not poo, not gypsum, nada.

Genetics, cleanliness, conditions.

Just dump some spores in a shot glass and sucking it up.

Sorry for the harsch tone, ive had a fucking hard day with all kinds of people coming down the tube to fuck me over.

But there are good reasons to begin with the pf tek, but I make the assumption that some people want massive amounts of shrooms for all the "wrong" reasons.
But some are naturals. A while back a grower called XXXXXXX did a fantastic job
but it took 4-5 months and he was gone but he learned in a second.

Some people seem to have certain skills that help them learn this shit.

Oh, no worries, bro. Nothing was harsh. I appreciate you answering. I’ve seen people add some water to the print and then suck it back into the syringe so I figured I’d ask the cake master his favorite technique. I want to play around with pheno hunting and don’t want a tone of resulting mushrooms and figured I may give PF tek a shot.

I’m sorry to hear people are being jagoffs. I hope that gets better for you soon.

thank you. No this is what I do, I boil up some water, wash the shot glass with soap, turn it upside down. THen I let the water cool down to 30:ish Celsius (hand warm), the I prepare the spore print, then i take a scalpel, turn the shot glass way up again and fill it with water. THen I scare spores into the shot glass. Then i quickly suck it up with the syringe.
All of this has to be done fast but ive never used a glovebox and ive never had contaminants.

If you have a nutritious substrate then you shouldn't pasturize it , yes manure and straw have nutrition in them yes they would grow cubes even at like 1:10 like you would with say oysters but they're not as aggressive as oysters and wouldn't colonize as fast or fruit nearly as prolific , if you wanted those ratios you would want to supplement your substrate with something like wheat bran in grow bags but it's a lot of effort, grains cheap . With edibles it's about getting the most you can squeeze from your grain and substrate, with cubes it's about getting the most from your space in a timely manner
