shrooooooooooms!!
    #8666028 - 07/22/08 12:15 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Well, Im new to the forum and shroom growing. Ive been reading up on shrooms and so has my friend. Weve decided to try and grow some, so i have a few questions for people with experience.

1. Strain - We are thinking of getting 4 differant strains (plus a free one). We are going to be ordering from The Hawks Eye. We were thinking of buying a syringe of B+, Amazonian, Creepers, and Brazilian, and for the free one we dont even know, so a suggestion would be good thier lol. Are those good strains for newbs to be using along with the PF Tek?

2. Grow times - Ive read all over the forum but just to be clear about this, from inoculation to full colonization should be about 1 and a half to 2 weeks (If everything goes well) correct? Then after that I perform the dunk/ roll and just let them chill in the fruiting chamber w/ the damp perlite in it and that should be another like 2 weeks until picking/ consumption? right?

3. Casing - I was thinking about doing it... I understand how its done and everything, but would it be a good idea for my first grow?

And also, how many cakes will 1 syringe inoculate? And how long do the syringe/spores last in cool dark places?

Sorry for asking so many questions that were asked before. I was just making sure i was up to date because all together we will be spending about 150-200 dollars on this project so i dont wunt to be throwing out my money when i coulda just spent it on weed lol.

Thanks for any help =)

1 yeah theyre cubies. grow em

2 timing your grows only makes them go slower. just knock em up and forget about them. try and keep temps around 80F for colonizing, and drop the temp a bit for fruiting.

3 if you think you got it, go for it. sterility is key! remember this throughout your grow career :smile:

4 even tho you didnt # it :mad2: id say do about 10 cakes per syringe. a 1/2 pint cake takes a 1/4 cc per inoculation hole. so you can either give a little extra in each, or use the extra 2cc from the syringe to make an LC which i suggest strongly.

tell us a bit about your FC and your setup

1.) cubes are cubes. doesnt really matter which type you grow they are all about the same.

2.)if everything is going perfect yes. but be patient. things dont always go as planned. sometimes it could take a month for full colonization and other times it could take a few weeks.

3.)NO... Def not for your first time. get the pf cake down first then when you have gotten the basics move up.

4.)The basic 10cc syring will innoc 10 1/2pint jars. 1cc per jar

Sorry for not numbering it =/ lol. And my setup is pretty much going to be exactly the same as it is in the time to grow vids on Youtube. I just wanted to get on here and make sure everything i was thinking was correct before i spent any money. And as soon as i get my jars inoculated i will DEFF. have pictures up keeping everyone informed on how my grow is going.

And another thing about the differant strains is there potency. I dont want to just dry them nd throw them all together in 1 bag if some are going to be stronger then other strains. Any thoughts on strength of each strain?

The Shotgun Tek will, in my opinion, be the easiest to master. Great chance of success, which will in turn, keep you from being discouraged! :imo:

shotgun ftw!!!

keeps that humidity high.

i dont remember if it mentions in the video to mist and fan. but youll still want to do this as well.

if youre doing cakes make sure to dunk and roll as well

If you use the shotgun tek, then no.  Fanning and misting with 4"-5" of perlite on the bottom should be enough

its what the FC with holes on all sides is called.

the WELL RINSED damp perlite will be sufficent for humidity.

no need for a ultrasonic

btw nice avatar. it reminds me of a video game i used to play. oohh just realized its a Korn album...

And im from New Jersey so i figuer it'll be easy to find mason jars, and ive heard walmart has them (what dont they have) but any other good places to find the half pints (just in case theres a closer place i can get them)?

yeah walmart, home depot, lowes, ace hardware. most places have storage totes.

try to get one with a clear lid, and that way you dont have to cut out and insert a window.

and yes thats what my avatar is
