I was wondering if the ready to inoculate jars here *no linking to outside sponsors* are appopriate for growing my shrooms, it seem s liek a good option cause i dont have access to a pressure cooker to make my own jars. btw im planning on growing the b+ variety!

ive used these... they work... but they are taking a long time to colonize.. the water content gets messed up because of the amount of time they have been sitting since they pc them and the time they actually get to you.
even with out a pc, you are better off making your own jars and saving money. use the steaming method with a pot on your stove

I don't know if Mush is a sponsor? if not fuck'em....no offence
But if you stick with shroomerys sponsors you will be better off.
And the shroomery is a WAY better forum for all of your answers.
As far as the jars go they do work but are expensive for long term use...good to get by with...but start looking into grains, as you stated you need a PC so you have done some leg work....now save up the pennies for one

eh, even if you did get them from a sponsor, I'd still recommend making your own. I've never done the steam sterilization but I hear it works fine if you just cook the shit out of them!
And even if you fuck up, you'll have all the stuff to make more...
I don't mean to take $ away from the sponsors or nuthin', but I just think buying jars is the biggest waste of money! After buying a few batches you probably would've spent the same amount as you would on a PC.

I have had really good cultivations for years by just using microwavable Tupperware that doesn't warp. The sandwich sized ones with 1 cup vermiculite, 1 cup brown rice flour and 8oz. water. .5" layer of dry vermiculite on top nuke for 12min. with the lid weighted down, let cool, inoculate.....Done

yes, defiently IMO just go with the pot method to replace the time being on the PC needed. much much better results.

I have had equally good results with PCing or steaming. I've done as little as 1/2hr steaming, then nuking 3 times for a few minutes (3 or 4, till I smell em) and had great results. I still PC more often than not, but when I have a lot going on, I fire up my turkey fryer (the vat holds several jars ) and steam away.
Try Agar's Nuke-n-Serve Super Spawn Tek? right here and you'll be fine.
