Welcome to the Shroomery man! & Good Luck!!!! I've grown cambodians and still do, they're relatively easy... You say you picked a random spore? in your syringe there's likely to be 100's of thousands spores....
Keep us posted it can take ~ 10-21 days to see germination.
For future reference why not try putting spores in a liquid culture of water/honey and germinate them that way; thus saving the wait in jars... Just a suggestion.

The Shotgun Fruiting chamber has holes drilled on all sides. I have a mini shotgun fc since its what i use for cakes, and it does work great. I also have a large FC for casing trays and will sometimes put extra cakes in it, the holes in that thing are a few right on top of the perlite, some in the middle, some up top near the lid. The cakes do great in both. Though i do need to fan the big chamber about twice as much. Shotgun FC is almost no maintenance involved.

By random spore I meant I just picked a syringe of spores at random off lil shop of spores the shipped the day I ordered received today 2 days after I ordered. Can anyone tell me what size yield to expect off of 10 cakes? Also are the cambodia very potent etc? I'm brand new to growing thanks. I have learned a lot on this site so far.

Ah ha I see... well, it could be anywhere from 200 - 400gms wet weight yield and yes they are potent, 2.5gms dry weight shrooms always gives me a M3-4 trip.
The shrooms you see below are cambodian and I got 248g off these:)


Are you incubating your jars? they like warmth.

No I'm not incubating. Any suggestions? I'm keeping jars in a box in the house stays around 75 degrees. Would a retile type heat rock work?

Good luck man! sounds like you got the right kit, The humi guage will be useful in fruiting conditions, humidity is taken care of by the microclimate in your jars so dont worry about hooking that up yet.. try not to let the temp go above 81f keep us posted on ur progress:) Have you had shrooms before? im having a journey tonight YAY:) Peanut butter / shrooms covered in chocolate, 3gms in each

Good luck on your grow.
First of, never use the oven tek, its bogus and no better than doing inoculations in a small sanitised room. The warm updraft of air will not keep contaminants high up in the air, instead it will swirl them round in the currents of air it creates. As the air is heated, it will rise and as it cools will then fall back down and be heated again where it once again rises. Bringing all those contaminamants with it.
I made the mistake of using that method and had nothing but mould.
Switch to using a glovebox, cheap and simple and very effective.

If your temps are 75F you dont need an incubator, 2 days is a little quick to see dime sized growth, if that spreads fast its most likely mould.

Today is actually day 6. Just the 3rd day they have been in incubator. It def mycelia growing. I've followed the pf tek to a t. Yesterday I purchased the book. The mushroom cultivator by paul stamets and j.s chilton. I'm seeing the book was well worth the money. Thanks again for everyones input. My house temp is always around 70 degrees. My inbcubation chamber maintains constant 81 degrees I have 3 out of 10 jars showing no growth. Assume this early on that is normal. Muddypotter

It's incredibly simple after you've got a grow or 3 under your belt. I think it was teh words that made it sound complicated and rocket sciency when i first tried.

You'll have too let me know how those Cambodia's work out. I just finished my first grow of PF classic, waiting now for them to dry. I got 4 jars of Cambodia about ready to be birthed. Haven't tried shrooms yet, nor have I seen any around so I decided to try to grow my own. Let me know how the cambodia trip is.

I'm at day 12 on my cambodians and some jars are already 99% colonized. They really do colonize fast.

this can happen... i have seen a 12 jar inoc have 11 perfect and the last one take as long as a week to show any real sign of life. just give it a week if nothing still there keep it to inoc your next set... could be a good control jar to see if your next recipe of substate is as good as your last...

Today is day 15 since inoculation. 10 out of 10 jars are doing great. I inverted jars 4 days ago which has greatly increased my myc colony to 40 to 80 percent in each jars. Some are a bit slower but their coming around. I'm guessin 2 wks till fruiting chamber. I'm going to take 1 cake to use and knock up a doz wbs jars to keep spreading the love. Muddy potter

Crumbling and casing a cake provides no benifits. If you want to crumble, spawn it to a pasturised bulk sub like coir.
Cakes have a great biological efficiency when left as cakes. Why waste energy and nuitrients on re estabilishing the mycelial network without expanding it.
