The best thing about this hobby (and the shroomery) is the peoples passion for it, and the knowledge necessary to do it with any success.
This original post angered me as soon as I read it and I applaud all who did not instantly flame the ignorance of Dank1.

Omg you can not plant a seed and water it?
I can grow weed in hydro and only need to check it once a week, and thats to do the water change. Which takes moments, as all the buckets are linked together and I turn the knob and walla it empty in 15 minutes, all 30 gallons, then with a hose fill it up.
If you have the proper tools for the job its easy that goes for weed or shrooms. But shrooms are easier to make a mistake.

I jumped right in by making a LC and knocking up 7 WBS quart jars, then spawning to coir/coffee/gypsum, then casing with 50/50+, then fruiting in a martha. It can be done, you just have to be able to follow instructions, and be patient.

Dank1 said: Well as you may have took from the title I am wanting to know what I need to do differently to grow shrooms rather than weed.
First of all I want to harvest ate least 100 dry grams each harvest, how many viles of spores do I need?
What is a spore print(please explain in depth, really confused about this one)
What temp does my fruiting chamber need to be and what are the min, temps that tehy will grow at
I know light is not needed so could someone please explain what all has to happen to the medium and what is actually happening.
How long does it take from the time you mix the mediums until harvest. I know you shroom guys don't call it a medium, but I cant remember the correct term.
Is it best to grow mushies in bulk in one container or on many jar sized cakes?
I will take ant help that any of you are kind enough to give, I really just want to be taught the basics of shroom cultivation, and what is what, why certain things are used, what method gives teh highes

Um, my initial reactions are these:
Shroom growing is fun.
in 90 days a foaf who started reading and trying things spent 400$, about 10 hours a week, and ?? ammount of time driving around collecting things that were needed.
It was fun but a large commitment, and a large ammount of work no lazy person would get done.
Her yield so far out of all this effort is prolly around, lets say, 3 oz's or 94 grams. Thats after 90 days. The first fruits didnt show up till after about 45 days.
processes have been refined and studied, and future attempts would lead her to think she may pass the 100 gram mark with a first flush of her mono tub with 5" think hpoo substrait with grain spawn from an LC. if you have no idea what the last sentance means you have about 90 days of studying and testing before you can get a yield such as stated.
after all the time and money she still thinks selling drugs is retarded and wouldnt take a dollar for a pound of cracker dry shrooms. selling drugs = jail .

the biggest difference in general procedure that i can think of is that growing weed does not require sterility where as growing shrooms certainly does.

Cannabis = a weed which can grow in a very wide variety of conditions, but potency and quality can vary a lot.
Fungus = Something that takes HARDLY any effort IF you buy a kit or "myco-bag" or whatever. But if you start from scratch with your own materials its probably a hell of a lot more tricky to cultivate. Due to the short period it takes to grow compared to a weed, fungus can be more unforgiving.
I know this is a little far fetched but, I would love to see a pic or eventually grow weed and goombas in the same pot. Or in the exact same spot. That would be groovy.
hope that didn't seem negative or anything.............

i'd advise you to stick to growing weed and find someone who sticks to growing shrooms. then share!
start with a few small tubs. my first success was 3 quarts of popcorn, 2 6 court coir casings half full and allmost 2 ounces of something that murdered everyone at 1.5 grams.
good luck, do your homework, and don't talk

whoever called me ignorant can kiss my ass, new to this, yes, but ignorant, no.
Its funny how you ask for help and here the snobs come to attack, so if some one wants to comment, don't be juvenile and start name calling and some of you spouting about how you know more thatn I do. Can someonejust help without being a jerk off.
Thanks for the info those of you who helped answer some questions.
Peace

As far as I can tell everyone has been exceedingly nice and accurate to you Dank. If you need to see exactly what goes into making your first foray into shroomery, go to Youtube and watch the Lets Grow Mushroom! pf tek videos. There are four of them. And as to an issue of semantics you ARE ignorant but you're probably not stupid . I'm VERY ignorant on the issue of mushrooms and I'm trying to learn as much as a I can as quickly as possible. If you want to harvest 100g per flush...well you want to look into bulk substrates and casing. Again the very best advice is start reading. Use the search function at the bottom for 'bulk grows' '100 grams' and possibly 'supply list' and I'm almost positive you'll get something.

my point is that if you can do one cake why not 20, as long as you have the $. I wouldn't do 20 the first try or anything, but once you get it down, what the difference if you can grow one you can grow 20. So to me 100g's isn't an ignorant thought, trust your skillz man.

What everyone is trying to tell you dank, is that you don't even know enough to know that you don't know anything. That isn't criticism; It's a fact. Just take your time and research....If you aren't willing to do that, you aren't going anywhere.

because the amount of time and effort in 20 cakes is far more than a bulk substrate grow .. so its good advice .. we all start by reading and reading more ..

Yeah upgrading from 1 to 20 wouldn't be difficult once you got the process down. I don't doubt. But like I said, a bulk substrate is what you want to do. Look up "straw log tek" or even RogerRabbit's straw laundry basket tek. It's on his two DVD's. I haven't seen them so I won't comment on the full extent but the four cake teks on Youtube are also on that DVD set so it seems reasonable that it would be good. Also, look into horse poo and coir casing tek. Try not to get discouraged with all the work and information you have to take in. It's a lot but when you see that first little fuzzy white mycelium it makes you giggle like a school girl and do a little dance .

Having participated in both, I no longer garden for jane, mushroom cultivation is by far more labor intensive and requires much more thought. Mushroom cult. is a hobby driven by passion. Growing weed is a job driven by the want to get high.
