just introducing myself

hi all at the shroomery thought i'd sign up after lurking for about a month now im in the UK (this is all going to sound very newb as ive seen it b4 on a canna site i frequent!!!) so my story is this i grew up clubbing/raving and dj'ing many years ago done my fair share of drugs ....but have since opted for a nice quiet life i'm self sufficient with greenery and wont go picking shrooms as i dont want to be led home by the police!!! so i thought i may as well have a go at growing my own (every now and again i like a few shrooms for a release and a good laugh)
i have been looking thru the relevant threads and slowly putting all the ideas/thoughts together with being a grower i already have a sack of coco coir here,so i'm looking down that path ....ive got a fish tank ...heat mat ..perlite and about 5 rye bags...and spore syringes ive started one rye bag and a cake tub about 4 wks ago now..the bag is looking better than the cake tub... ive got equador,mazatapec,cambodian,B+ spores..
well ive introduced myself ...now off to look thru the forum.... but if anyone could point me in the right direction of threads it would be much appreciated cheers DV8

thanks again to whiskeyclone,apollyphelion,grandesign,and beneath and thanks gradesign for the pointer,i have been using the search facility at the top all day...i know this is where most people get pointed first time round "do the research first".. one question i will ask though after searching...does the server upload JPEGS i did read that it converts it to a JPG? ...but i couldn't see JPEG/JPG on the list ..i could see wma and all the others.but not these two...i only have JPEGS...and not too PC friendly,so wouldn't know how to convert them...if anyone could help be much appreciated thanks DV8

Yes you can upload jpegs. '.jpg' is just an abbreviated file extension for jpeg format pictures.

why not hunt mushrooms? Its season, you live in a very active hunting region and the hunting forum here rocks.
The Liberty Cap(Psilocybe Semilanceata)

This is what you want to look for.

pics of cobwebs well i started with a cake and a rye bag and inoculated them 4 weeks ago and i wasn't happy with the smell coming from the cake as it smelt funky and fausty..like fementing wine..so wasn't happy but thought you got to learn by your mistakes(it took me a while to get the temps sorted) so i crumbled the cake onto coir mixed with perlite in a pyrex bowl and bag to keep it seperate from everything else...and cased with the same...this is where i may have gone wrong (or being too warm)...as i think i ended up with cobweb!!??looks like it to me as i know nothing in a way its not a loss really ..just a learning curve as far as im concerned...ive got plenty more  but the rye bag looked a lot better and after more reading i decided to go with perlite topped with vermiculite...crumbled rye bag(that smelt proper shroomy)cased with coir so fingers crossed for this one thanks for looking ...any advice welcome DV8

well i think i'm learning i've been checking the terrarium since i got home (been 6 hours) and i'm seeing a definite progression(hopefully!!) even from the pic i posted yesterday there are more white patches appearing ...and i did have a small spot of cobweb:(...but got the h202 on it and could see the difference this time ..catching it early ...it just dissapeared(for good hopefully(sprayed the whole area) heres a few pics i'm a bit more confident on this lot thanks for looking DV8



so fingers crossed over the next few days
any advice still more than welcome:)(come on i may be a newb but you can only read so much...i thought you could ask for help if you weren't sure?...i only want to go tripping...for a change )

i did mate last night , done a bit more reading and decided to fruit last night removed the bin liner,placed the terrarium ontop of a wardrobe and shifted the glass lid to one side to allow more air exchange they have been in natural day light all day ..but with the days getting shorter here ...im gonna add a light on a timer it will be a twin CFL(PL TUBE)rated at 55w per tube but i'm only gonna have one lamp/tube in there so it will be one 55w 840(blue) sitting over the tank as i think 110w is overkill?
thanks again habitat

ambient light from your room should be fine, there is no need for a lamp over the terrarium, unless you want them to grow straight up, your bedroom light is more then enough though.

co2 is heavier than air so you should be fanning it out periodically 3-4 times a day is enough, air pump not necessary.
are you misting it?

hi habitat ive got the fanning sorted out and so i'll forget the air pump ive been misting with 2% h202 from a height...it does look a bit dry and also i dont have a level of water in with the perlite..should i at least see something in the bottom or will the perlite be enough for humdity required
i was wondering if the h202 is now holding them back
cheers habitat

what i do at that stage if things are looking dry is just plain water in the bottle and just soak the casing layer, get it nice and wet. do that and keep up on air xchanges and the moisture. and you should be straight.
