i read the cultivation guides already but when you sterilize the jars/cakes, does it have to be a pressurized cooker? will a regular pot with a lid work? i dont get why it has to be pressurized.
also... has anyone capsulised shrooms? if theyre so nasty, would it be smart to break em down and put them in empty capsules, like size 0? (approx .5g each.)
thanks

If you are using the pf-tek style of jars, you don't need to use a pressure cooker but it gives better chances of completing a grow without contaminates. The pressure cooker can heat the water above 212 deg f and totally sterilizes the contents. It is possible to do a grow without a pressure cooker and people have very good results. You can even do Liquid Cultures without a pressure cooker.
I have used capsules and was displeased with the results, the onset of the cubies seemed to be way longer. The best way I have ever done it is to grind them up in a coffee grinder and mix them with melted chocolate, then they are yummy.

I love the taste. There seems to be 50/50 split of people of like and dislike the taste. But theres only like 1% that would compare it to eating a brusselsprout, so don't worry about it. If you can take a shot of vodka, eating shrooms is about 1/10 as tough to get down(if of course you don't love the taste) or much more relevantly, eat a store bought mushroom, and you'll know what you're in for.
In my opinon, the store bought ones are worse. Maybe its just a mental thing though, because I'm really excited about whats coming next.

I wish i liked the taste of cubies. Sometimes the smell can make me gag, i dont know what it is. I usually chop em up, throw a handfull in my mouth and chase down with some juice, i would recommend that over capsuals, not as much hassle.

You can get by without a PC if you're doing the PF tek, there are several teks and MANY posts about it. Grains are a different story. Some claim they have had success not PCing WBS...I have not. A PC is a crucial and invaluable investment in this hobby, saving lots of time and money in the long run.
You can grind your harvest into powder and then fill capsules with about equal success as just chowing down on a handful. I've never noticed much difference in the onset of events to come, but can be very time consuming to fill and seal individual capsules. As far as making them easier to sell...that sounds like some shit a drug-dealer would say! Do us all and yourself a favor, and don't be talkin' no stupid ass drug-dealer shit around here. It could potentially invite unwanted attention to our community. We are hobbyists/scientists/spiritualists, not drug-dealers or entrepreneurs, and assuming that role/attitude is a perversion of our cause. Read the posting rules! Not meaning to be a dick, but those rules are there for a reason.
Peace.

im saying, if they are tasteless, ppl would be more willing to try them, if its a matter of swallowing a capsule. thats all.
