I have just gotten back from droppin a letter off in the mailbox for my spore print. I have been done a little research and i think im doin ok now. i have picked my incubation and casing methods which i think are good: Incubation: http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/7919 Casing: http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23805
Are these good??... any suggestions while im waiting on my print??

Make sure you search the Mushroom Cultivation Archives....lots of good posts on growing in there.
Here is a link to my PF-Tek log I was using wild spore prints, so this tek takes you thru the syringe making process.
I hope it is helpful.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

i say ditch the pint jars and get some 1/2 pts. In fact, i suggest (if you have a pressure cooker) avoiding the PF tek and jump straight into grains.

nothing beats simple and easy. 2 inches of soaked perlite in the bottom of a rubbermaid.

hand fanning at least 3x a day will be adequate. I like to fan them when i get up, fan them when i come home for lunch, and then right before bed. However, if you have the time to devote to your grow (like i once did), fanning every few hrs is optimal.
Hand fanning is the easiest and cheapest method of providing FAE.

so Coda, if you were to scrape away a gap in the perlite layer so u could see the bottom of your terranium, would you see any standing water at all?
i ask because i'm using this method and do have free-standing water in the bottom on the advice of other posts/teks i've read. am i listenting to the wrong people?
hope i'm not too off topic in your post wedsmokr, good luck bud!
