Looking for a shroom cultivator

I am relatively new to the shroom process. I have grown with kits before and was not as happy with the results as i would have liked. I have recently purchased spore syringes and i am looking to start the process as soon as possible. I had found a shroom cultivator at http://www.myco-tek.com/MC/Intro.html that seemed to take care of everything like heat and water for me in a way that prevented contamination. I was disapointed to find out that this product had been discontinued. I am now looking for a similar product that could help me grow anywhere from 90 - 150 jars at one time. Any info you have is helpful. Thanx.

dude, if you want that many shrooms, your best bet is to forget a KIT. on the homepage here, go to grow/find section, and look up bulk methods. also in adv cult. forum, the 1st post is the mycodirectory 4.0, there is tons of info there. your gonna need a giant space if you plan on leaving the jars as cakes, 150 cakes takes up a bit of area, why not do say 30 jars, spawn to straw or dung, then case, you will get tons of shrooms. but if you havent done casing, slow down. do a few batches of cakes (12/24)to get the feel for it. your trying to do to much, to soon. this isnt a slam, just trying to help.

I'd say stick with 30 and use cow manure or worm castings for bulk tek. Shrooms tend to have better potentcy with dung too.

I would start researching bulk teks. To save your self some time go buy a ton of quart jars and a couple pint jars. Purchase as many bags as you need with filter patchs and tons of grain also. Then find a friendly horse farm and buy some hay and collect droppings. After all is said and done and your research is completed then you should be off to a fair start.
