Shrooms easier than growing weed?
    #5371940 -

Well I've basically mastered growing weed, I have it down pat but I'm a little bored of weed since it's effects dont seem to make me happy anymore. I heard that shrooms could be just as fun as LSD but not as intense and not giving any health threatening effects or what ever. So since my weed was laced with PCP once I basically cant trust anyone. And unlike weed if some one sells me basically some shrooms that they just found out some where I AM gonna die, no if's about it. So I wanted to start growing shrooms for my self and basically I just wanted to know is growing shrooms easier than growing weed? And what guide for growing would you guys suggest for a noobie like me?

I haven't grown weed myself, but I'm assuming it's easier to grow mushrooms, especially if you try to focus on simplicity over yield.

This is based on what I've read about growing pot and hearsay from a guy i know growing both.

pot is probably the easiest thing to grow... need seeds, warm sun, water, and dirt... its idiot proof :wink:  but mushrooms arent very challenging either once you do it a few times

Do a search on the site for the "PF tek" it is what I am using and its quite sufficient.

So do the rest of you guys agree that I should use this "PF-Tek" method since I'm sorta new?

Well your homegrown mushies will always be safe, regardless of the method you used to grow them. But some methods will yield a larger harvest full of large, potent fruits, while others will generally offer smaller, less potent mushrooms, but still enough for a trip for one.

The only time you shouldn't eat your homegrown mushies is when the grow gets contaminated. But contaminations are always very easy to notice as they grow extremely fast, smell bad, and are generally funky colors; i.e. the mean green.

The only reason I suggest the PF tek is for purposes of ease.  Some other teks may be confusing or at the least have a way for a "newb" (no offense intended, I'm one as well :wink:) to contaminate their batch more easily.

Eh..lol ok I think I'll go with the P-F Tek since I found the tutorial with pictures ^_^. I'm glad I learned how to grow weed the normal way. I dont know if this is the normal way (P-F method) but I know I dont like the ScroG or SoG method of growing weed, it just looks un-attractive and I hate cloning lol.

PF Tek is the best guide for a beginner.

Well blackjack, despite the common misconception, you don't really have to start with the PF tek to have a successful first grow, so long as you're willing to do a decent amount of reading. I know a number of people who started out with poo and/or casings who were successful on their first grow... snaggletooth, hippiechick, godsentelechy.

It really depends on how much you want. The PF tek will give you maybe like 4-5 dried grams per cake, so if you do half a dozen, that's maybe like 25-30 dried grams. If you take 3 grams to trip, and you're not going to share with friends, that'll be totally fine. But if you are going to share with like 3-4 other friends (who you should NOT tell btw), that's only like 2 or 3 trips.

Personally, that's not enough for my friends and I, so I read into doing casings with poo.

I took in about equal amounts of information for both hobbies. There are so many different ways to do both that I could not make a blanket statement.

PF (shrooms) = A simple soil grow.
Agar Sectoring = DWC, Ebb and flow soiless grow..


Or something like that. They each can be equally challenging.

Anybody can grow schwag.....it takes study and practice to grow the sticky-icky.

from my experience, I'm grown lots of mushies and some weed. Weed is a lot more harder. Mainly because of patinas. And keeping your mouth shut. + a lot hard to be real discreet, and while growing weed, it leaves a strong odor.

Well the way I see it.

It's easier to just GROW weed. Then it is to just GROW mushrooms.

It's easier to grow REALLY GOOD mushrooms. Then it is to grow REALLY GOOD weed.


Also weed takes a shit load of wattage, Shrooms just take a shit load of shit.

Shrooms are a lot easier to grow then weed.

1.) Besides some misting and saturation of casing layer there is no watering or feeding mushrooms.

2.) Cubensis is a hardy species, it puts up with a TON of shit and will grow in the worst conditions. Weed wont put up with much for long before dying out on you

3.) Comparatively its easier to get large yields with mushrooms almost everytime then it is with weed.

4.) Mushroom life cycle including drying is about a month give or take a week. Weed is 3+ not including drying and curing times.

those are just a few examples, i wont even get into setup cost and maintenance.

Im cultivating cannabis for the first time right now, and believe me i feel like a 3 yr old lost at the mall. So much shit to be thinking about and looking for, mixtures i have to make, safety precautions and security issues i have to deal with, christ i think growing this shit makes you 10 times more paranoid then smoking it does (let alone being stoned while having the grow around lol).

My advice is to ask yourself these questions.

1.) How much money am i willing to spend
2.) Do i want high yeild or just a little bit
3.) Where am i going to grow this

those three basic questions cover a lot of ground. If you want to go low tech and spend little or no money, PF tek and small simple aquariums like a 2 liter bottle are for you. These will produce low yeilds and average potency mushrooms.

If you want to kick it up a bit and have about 150-200 dollars to spend, buy a PC, order some horse shit from tennstud.com, and read up on grains and spawing. These types of grow produce average to heavy flushes with high potency mushrooms.

Other then that spend a lot of time using the search function and do a lot of reading. Learning the FAQ's will give you a huge advantage and will get you on your way to getting a solid grow going.

Good luck man!
