New and need direction
    #7923755 - 01/24/08 10:52 AM (16 years, 8 days ago)

OK, I am finally at a point in my life where I have decided its time to grow my own. Very excited and probably jumped the gun on a couple of purchases before I checked with you guys but better late then never.


OK went out yesterday and bought the following:

-2 syringes of B from sporestore.com

-6 Half Pint Jars Premixed & Pre-Sterilized from Vision Kits

This one will be knocked but I really didn't feel like going out and buying everything separate. I'm sure I got some crap I didn't need.

-A Grow Chamber Kit from http://universityscientific.com. The 89.99 one. Including the following:

--------------------------------

1 MycoKit Electric Mushroom House
4 Super MycoJars WITH FILTER BREATHERS
2 Reservoir Containers
2 Wick Containers (What are these?)
4 12" Wicks (What are these?)
1 Litre of Hydroton
1.5 Litres of Base Mix
1 Liter of Casing Mix
1 Thermometer
1 Hygrometer

--------------------------------

Did I miss anything? Are any of these suppliers not OK?

Trying to do this right and can't find a grow guide that isn't really confusing. I like pictures! Any Suggestions?



Thanks in advanced for your help.

-BC

holy shit.. you can spend less than 50 bucks and have the same thing... just make sure you read and read and read... the more you read, the more you will grow...

umm... you seem like you will have everything...

I figured, Any grow guides that are for "dummies" that you could recommend for this method?

Oh, one more question.

Since I am buying the jars with the cakes that are said to be sterile, do I need to do anything to them before I insert the spores into them?

Take the foil off the top. Rub around the holes with a alchol swab. Heat the needle red cool it in a alcohol soaked towel and inject them.

cant hurt to flame sterilize the needle/wipe with rubbing alcohol...

you spent way too much on that shit.

why two spore syringes?

and make sure you make spore prints once you get growth!

It will be awhile before you get the spores though. Sporestore sucks. I ordered from them on 12/31 and they just shipped out on 1/22. I'd order from Hawks Eye. He has excellent communication, which is key to any internet shopping experience. If I were you, I'd buy the "Lets Grow Mushrooms" video. It is very informative and gives lots of helpful insight and knowledge. Covers lots of different teks also. I can't wait to do a straw log tek. B+ is a good beginner strain, so I've heard.

I bought two syringes just in case I screwed up.


3 Weeks? That sucks! I guess I should have bought from another place. I really wanted to get started by end of next week.

Can you only get spore prints from fresh mushrooms?

Thanks for everyones help!

yeah the only problem I see is SporeStore. My advice to you (since you have everything all ready) is to read the guides. I promise you'll have more satisfaction knowing you grew those little guys from scratch, rather a "Chia Pet" innoc and watch grow kit. It's allot more rewarding making the substrate, sterilizing, building a fruiting chamber, and harvesting yourself. I've done both and you learn more, and appreciate more when you do all the work. happy growing. good luck. and READ

Yes and No on the spore print question. You can buy them, but they have to be fresh to make them.

Dude, skip the PF tek. IMHO its a total waste of time. Look into grains, and spawning them to bulk subs like manure/straw. My first grow went fine and I did grains->more grains->manure. Little more work than the PF tek (barely) but the results are about, oh, multiplied by 100.
Download the zip file available on this site and go to town.

Or he could figure it out on something a little harder to screw up and doesn't have to buy a PC.

You don't need all that crap... wild bird seed spawned to coir/coffee in monotub, so cheap & simple, or better yet, bucket tek!

ye sthe kit you are talking about is simply a well advertised piece of shit. nothing but bad reviews on how small it is to how much its not like what they say. $50 bucks will get you a far more successfull operation. research the best method for you. i prefer the TIT. works wonders.

Get a PC = Your grandmother probably has one you can borrow(or a friend of a friend) then go here:

With the money that you are going to spend on what you just stated, you could be on your way to alot of shrooms for alot less money!


My two pennies!
