So I received 4 WEED SEEDS from seedWorks the other day.. I figured Id start with BagSeed for my first grow just to see how things turn out... I received four different seeds: normal, thesame, roundish, and abigseed.  My brother and I took a midnight run to his friends mothers vegitable garden a few hours ago.. so I have some fresh dirt that needs fertilizer and sun.
I prepared the fresh dirt in a milk jug with a water and mixed it.. just waiting for it to turn back to dirt from mud before I plant my seeds.  I read that you can grow weed on water, and am contemplating on whether or not try this method...
Q: Would dirt with the water?  Im not sure at the moment.. Im half-tempted to test water and plant the seeds directly as a sort of side-test to see if anything happens... it could, but I wouldnt hope for much.
I plan on adding this to the dirt when its ready and I may use the ebb&flo..

Do you guys have any tips?  I already know to be VERY CLEAN in the process, so anything other to help me along the way would be GREATLY appreciated.  THANK YOU, GUYS!

This make sense to you? I know how you feel

My opinion. You are way under 18, you are ADD/ADHD, and you don't like ta read to learn things you wanna learn...

You have a long way to go before you grow a single mushroom. You don't just decide one day you are going to be a Engineer and then go out and build a freaking bridge! If growing mushrooms was as easy as making crack

Start with cakes if you are serious. NOONE jumps in a has success unless they start small.

Don't waste your spores, go and put them back in the fridge, read the teks for a few weeks until you dont have any questions, then get started.

I prepared 1.5 table spoons of light corn syrup (with vanilla, hope it wont hurt) with a little over 100ml of water and microwaved it..

Q: Would I mix the entire Karo/mycelium solution with the popcorn? I'm not sure at the moment.. I'm half-tempted to test fresh horse shit and inject the spores directly as a sort of side-test to see if anything happens... it could, but I wouldn't hope for much.

Almost NOONE;)





Leviathan,

I feel you.
If you have never grown any mushrooms at all-"don't jump in the water if you don't know how to swim, as you might drown"(Fail)
When we say to start small we mean the PF Tek instead of jumping into grains/poo =
"Start with jumping off the low diving board until you get the hang of it, then step up to the High-Dive once you feel comfortable with it"
Meaning that you have to learn some basics first and the PF Tek teaches you those basics very well. Once you get one cake to fruit(even if it is just one mushroom)then move up to grains and straw and poo and the world of mega-shrooms!

Just my two pennies again

That's way too much Corn syrup.

That's 9 tbs of corn syrup per 600ml of water = WAY TOO much!!!!

Use only 2-3 tbs of corn syrup per 600ml of water = no more!!
That comes to 0.333 tbs per 100ml of water.
Just so you know.

No, just add 1/2 - 1 ml of Karo solution(once it has colonized) to each jar of spawn. You should see growth in less than 3 days wit them(jars) colonizing fully in less than 10 days(depending on all kinds of variables). Mine colonize fully in 6 days.
