My first attempt...is this a good setup?
    #7382249 - 09/08/07 01:09 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

This is my first attempt at growing. I've been researching different teks for about a month or so and I think I have a pretty good understanding of the process (at least for someone who hasn't actually grown any mushrooms yet). I recently started gathering supplies, but I want to make sure that my setup will be good and that I'll have everything I need before I start.

I'm planning on using pint jars with wild bird seed. For incubation, a small rubbermaid tub with holes on it's sides near the top. This is placed inside larger tub (also with holes) with about 2 inches of a water/peroxide mixture and an aquarium heater. I have a hygrometer/thermometer to monitor my humidity and temperatures. My casing will probably be made with composted horse manure in a foil baking tray. As a fruiting chamber, I will be using a terrarium/aquarium with a fluorescent light and cool mist humidifier.

Is there anything missing from my setup, or something that I should change?

I think you need to read some more.

Sounds like you are making a mutant fruiting/incubation chamber, (could also be because i am really stoned and have a hard time reading)

but a incubation chamber is just an area that you can control the temp to stay between 78-81 F.

the humidity does not matter.

I'm still reading a lot of stuff. I want to make sure I understand everything before I start. I haven't bought any supplies for my incubation and fruiting chambers yet because I'm still trying to figure out the details on those aspects.

this is where I got the idea for the incubator though:

make sure you do all your inoculation work in a glove box.

a clear plastic rubber made tub with two holes cut out for your arm. and use a lot of Lysol and alcohol to sterilize the box and wait 10 min before you start working.

USE GLOVES..

and have a lot of patients and read a lot more

http://www.shroomery.org/9030/Docs-Wild-Bird-Seed-Tek

Someone suggested this tek to me...I got a lot of my info from there, but I've read several others. That one doesn't cover the incubation and fruiting though. Most of my concerns are about humidity, temperature, and lighting. Every page I read seems to use different humidity and temperature settings, so it can get a little confusing.

jeez dont scare the kid its not rocket science. jus read a lot and try out a lot of different methods. over a period of time you will develop a personal method to every step and if you work hard more fungus than you and your friends can ever eat.

I'm not expecting perfection on my first attempt by any means. I just want to make sure that I have all the supplies I need and that I don't waste my money on stuff that I don't need or can't use.

sorry I was not trying to scare you... i am really stoned.

but whatever tec you use you need to do the inoculation in a sterile environment. and this is usually achieved by using a transparent box with 2 holes for your arm.

then from there you need to keep the jars in a dark area with the temp between 78-81 F. you could usually do this at room temp. unless your house is really cold.

then once the jars are fully colonized + a week (about 1 month) you put them in the fruiting chamber... or spawn ... or case .. or whatever.

i think!!

Nah, you weren't scaring me. I appreciate the help. All of this is new to me, so I just have a lot of questions. I'll probably make a few mistakes at first, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can so that I don't make too many. Plus I don't have a very big budget, so I want to get the most out of my money without wasting too much. I've been told that perlite is a pain in the ass so I decided not to go that route.

also it may help if you go on youtube and search some PF tec mushroom growing videos

so far i have only done one grow .... and i used perlite and i would recommend it.

@ abesch
You made a little mistake: One should search for: PF tek mushroom growing videos (TEK not TEC) You are welcome... Tea or coffee?

@ Sultan Armada

Yes, the shrooms are kept like slaves - but the time has come to free them...

@ ILS311

Why don't you start with the simple PF-Tek - it is foolproof, and after that, you move on to a higher spiritual- and growing level. Climb the Pyramid step by step... and please feel free to visit ShroomCity (Link below). I created those videos for novice growers like you.


That is what you get with the NEW and easy PF-grow tek

Good grow and please release all slaves...
