Lots of Substrates/General Tips wanted for a semi-nood
    #7830796 - 01/04/08 05:48 AM (16 years, 28 days ago)

Before I start , I want to excuse my self For my bad spelling , English is not my main language , I learned How to talk it by listening people But i didn't learned how to write it. But ill do my best so plz dont be too mean with me :tongue2: I realy need anwser to my question and some sugestion from people with more experiance.

ok , I just bought a big box ( 35x17x15 in ) as a terrarium. I would like to do a mega casing directly in the box. Its my first try at casing , ive already growed 2 batch succesfuly using the pf tek and fruiting the fungi as a cake in a terrarium humidified with a cool mist humidifier.



For this terrarium i was planning to try litle casing , of 2-3 cake each , and saving some room for some cake alone.
And for the second one , the big box , I Wanted to think big :cool: .

First , I wanted to try perlite humidification , so i bought 2 bag of them what is enought to do a 1.5 inch layer all over the terrarium.

After that , the thing I would like to know is , is there a way to get a LOT of substrate ( i need around 14 L of substrate to do a layer of 2 inch over the perlite ) 14 liter = around 56 1/2 pint pfcake Witch is a lot. First , i dont have 56 jar Atm , And second , it would be much too long to inoculate considering im using spore syringue.

Is there an other way than pf cake jar to get that much substrate to colonize ?

Second thing , if anyone have some tips on this method , what type of casing would suit best for this , If a botom layer of perlite is a good choice , some way to improve My actual fruiting chamber.

Third one , In the future, when i will be a good Mushroom farmer im planning to do massive production ( well , the most possible a guy can do in a 4 and 1/2 appartement) But i didnt realy found information about Big , and hi-tec fruiting chamber capable of containing a LOT of mushroom , and with a fully electronic and automated temperature and moisture control , air exchange etc. Something more proffessional. I saw The poor man terrarium Thred but where is the rich man one ? lol ,Ok im just starting in growing , But this is my obective and id like to know exactly where i am going. Ive read a Lot in the Mushroom info section , witch helped a lot , But since English is not my main language , its very hard for me to understand And visualise every thing in details , and I dont want to start something that I half understood. Maybe there is some topic talking about my questions But I searched and didnt find ( Hard to find something you don't even know how to call it eh ? :confused:)

Well that is it ( finaly you will say ) Thx for your time And be well

First off take a look here

http://www.shroomery.org/4/Grow-Mushrooms

the search youtube for lets grow mushrooms. Watch all parts, i recomend buyin RR,s dvd as it touches on advanced techniques usefull in larger scale production. There are alot of options


Yes 56 pf cakes could be a bit of a pain if you have a pressure cooker, then look into grains. U can inoc much larger jars than with the pf tek.

As for the tub that would potentially be just 1 big casing. Look up monotubs, they are basicly a big tub with colinised substrate in the bottom and a casing on top, no need for humidification, the substrate and casing moisture will provide that. The monotub is pretty much self automated.

Look that up.

Now i have to ask, why do u want to grow on such large scale.

First of all thank you , ill read that.

I want to grow in large scale because,

First : self satisfaction , The more Mushroom i can grow , more and more Satisfied I will be.

Second : I realy like growing mushroom as a hobby , I started With 3 Cake , and then 8 cake , next batch is incoming ( will try what I said in my post ) trying to produce more and more each time, We can see it like a kind of challenge I give to my self , Trying to Produce The more mushroom possible , just for the trip.

Third: Ok , Growing mushroom is a cool hobby , And the fact that they are magic , is even better. Being a big fan of them , Im eating Them very often ( maybe too often , but I can't resist to them ) So I need a bigger and bigger dose everytime To be able to Have a trip that I like ( that mean a F****** Insane one , I like too discover the real Power of this litle baby, last trip was 11g) So at the moment with my instalation im not even producing enough mushroom for my self. And i have a lot of friend That Love Magicmushroom too , But in my city its almost impossible to find some in the street now , and when you find some its shooted with pcp and you feel F******* bad if you take more than 2-3 gram , you can even do an overdose. So when all my friend learned I was growing some , tried it ( All said it was amazing , that they havent been stone that much on mushroom before , and with a smaller dose than they were usualy taking ) I became The official producer , witch mean i have to be able to produce enough for everybody.

Your not suppose to talk about money or shrooms in the same sentence. You can get banned for that. Not to be mean but read the rules before you post.

The word money is nowhere in is posts. All he said was that he would like to produce more as a lot of his friends want some, that doesn't mean he is selling, maybe he just wants to have fun with his mates.

For the original poster, do a search for Monotubs, which are giant one tub casings as you want.
