Hello friends.

I want to say Hello, I've been gone for quite some time. In the midts of my absence from the shroomery I have been busy with family issues. However, now that I have my own place I am ready to pick up where I left off and start a new batch fallowing the old-school PF-tek. My setup may sound a little unordinary perhaps even silly. However I had great success with this last time and as always your suggestions and advice is very appreciated. [Lifetime student; aren't we all] The setup: I am starting with 42 1/2 pint jars- then afer they colonize I will mix them in with 50/50 poo/straw in 4 -66quart containers. I usually do the Tub-in-tub setup to control the temp. I have not yet invested in a humidity controller and am wondering if it is a wise investment. I am assuming so but if someone could reassure me that would be swell.
I am trying to isolate a small walk-in closet for this grow since last time I ran into a nasty problem with contamination. I also would like to invest in a HEPA filter and place it in the growing area. I am aware that there are better methods to grow in bulk, such as rye and birdseed. I have not tired either yet but hopefully after this time I may venture into other practices.
There is not much detail here, partially because of me frantically explaining what I am planning on doing witout having any real question in mind. I started thisw post just to say Hello. However, if you have any suggestions or advice please feel free to comment.
Thank you.

This tek works GREAT for a lot of people...

Martha's are good for a closet, and you can get a lot more spawn by using grain w/ quart sized jars. Multiple Martha's or similiar style "greenhouses" can fill up a closet. Make sure you get the Impellar type cool mist humidifers for most applications... as they are lengths better then the wick kinds, and dont mold on you like the wicks do. You can fruit Rye directly for good results, or move on to using wild bird seed as grain-spawn for horse poo (way more potent). Anyway, hope this helps! Welcome back, and good luck!
