...questions from a newbie..
    #7408929 - 09/14/07 12:27 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

hello all...couple of questions.. so i printed out the PF-Tek, and another Tek for growing with the 1/2 pint jars, but i've recently started reading up on the spawn bags as well..and it's got me to wondering..
so, you can buy pre-inoculated spawn bags? is this right? how trustworthy is that, exactly? like, how close to fruiting would they be when you purchase? ..is it a particularly good idea? or should I just prepare my own spawn bags, and just buy the spore syringe? that sounds more plausible to me... also....so what's the real difference between say, the blue-helix tek method for growing with spawn bags, as opposed to the PF-tek? is it a differential based on growing experience? or is one really better than the other? i'm really confused about the whole thing.. it's like, my main objective is in order (i want to grow some shrooms!!!) but i'm just not sure which way i should go about it! plz help!!

A) buying pre-knock'ed spawn bags of active mushrooms is illegal

B) pf tek has nothing to do at all with spawn bags, and is not a spawn bag tek

growing is illegal, but if you live someplace it's not, you could....

buy a syringe
buy WBS and spawn bags

prepare WBS and PC inside spawn bags.
inoculate with spore syringe.

wait.

I don't have too much experience from spawn bags, I have tried them once and had goo success. However, if this is your first time I would take the time and practice with the PF tek. It sounds like more work with less of an outcome but it's worth it. My first time I messed up and a few times after that as wel but it taught me a lot. Now, could you go straight to WBS (Wild Bird Seed) and Succeed? Yes, of course. But I always recommend people practice with BRF cakes first then move to WBS..bigger jars...bigger setup.

Goodluck,
Peace,

Why not start with the very easy and almost foolproof New PF-Tek by me? Then you will learn the basics of growing shrooms. Later... step by step, one tries out some more advantaged grow teks = casing with other substrates for an example, etc. But for a novice grower like you, there is nothing better then the simple PF-Tek. All you need is: Vermiculite, Brown long corn rice FLOUR and a bag of Seramis. A PC, distilled water, a spore-print, a few empty syringes and a little spores-shaker = jar-type glass with a lid. Please click the link below in order to get more informations.

Good flight

PS. Growing shrooms is as easy as making a cup of tea.

ty for the response :smile: easy as a cup of tea, you say? yeah... i think i'll stick to the PF tek first of all...the spawn bag idea wasn't really my own to begin with, more sparked by my SO, but still had me wondering...but thanks!

I havent read your tek, but it sounds really ridiculous, tedious, and unnecessary compared to the PF Tek.

PF for simple minds is a good starter. The actual PF doc has some unnecessary stuff in it (drip shields and incubators and such).
