Question about grow..
    #7921702 - 01/23/08 08:35 PM (16 years, 9 days ago)

Hey guys. This is my first time posting over here at shroomery. Anyway I'm fairly new to growing mushrooms but I have been educating myself with the archives of this forum very well indeed :smile:

What I am asking for is a list of equipment I'll need besides what comes in this kit(http://www.mushbox.com/mushroom-kits.html#myg). I know many of you are against kits but for my purposes it was easier because I can't go out and collect these things, I live in a city without a car. Anyway, I need to figure out a way to incubate the box at 80-84 degrees. I also am wondering if there is anything besides the heating that I would need. I've already ordered the kit and spores, just need to figure out the rest.

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT: I know most of you are going to be AGAINST using a kit, but at the moment it's irrelevant.. I will be doing a more advanced setup when I get my own place.. but in the dorm I have little to work with. This kit, while expensive, will at least get me used to cultivation so that I can do better when I do it on a more advanced scale. Thanks again.

I live in Chicago without a car, I have probably walked over 50 miles for what I need for each grow. I have never used a kit. Don't make excuses make shrooms. Use a heating pad on the low setting to incubate.

No, you don't. Incubation is unnecessary, and the patience that waiting teaches you will serve you well in this hobby. Anyway, don't jeopardize your education for some fucking mushrooms. Be careful.

Chi is cold.. it will slow down growth.. you will be 100% fine without incubating, but it makes them grow slower.. keeping the temps optimal, along with keeping them in the dark and not looking every single day, will make the incubation go faster.. look every other day or so, and try to keep between 70 to 85 and you will be fine... I use an expensive thermostat and heating pad setup, that works fine for the space that I use (big ass cupboard) for an incubator... it makes my jars go from inoculation to 100% in about 2 weeks... really... as long as you are clean and you prep your jars right, then expect to wait a couple weeks for full colonization... give or take a week for temperatures... get a thermometer and see what your temps are and go from there... try the "heat bomb" tek... might just help you raise temps just a bit to quicken your incubation time..

So this is just gonna be in my closet and then when it's time to fruit I'm gonna run a lightbulb on top of it. Anyway, is that all I need then?
