Newbies grow progress
    #9221161 -

Hello everyone, Ive been lurking through this forums for some time now and been reading and finding all the possible ways to grow and cultivate. My buddies and me have never tripped on mushrooms before, hence the reason why i want to grow them. Anyways, i started w/ Gt strain because i thought they would do best for beginners like myself. I obtain 1x 10cc syringe from spores101, which took almost a damn month to receive, but bought 3 syringes from Ralph 2 weeks after my purchase from spores101 as backup, all came in within the same month.

I did 12 basic brf cakes and inoculated 2 weeks after the sterilize part.


And here is my DIY glove box with simple things you can either buy or find around the house.


Of course, my favorite site to visit everyday in the background.


All of them kept inside my mini fridge and kept at around 78-82*F.


About 2 weeks after inoculation, it was 95% done on 6 jars, 2 didn't show signs of growth, 2 halted growth due to lack of moisture, and the rest proceeding nicely w/ no signs of contaminants.


Here is my DIY lighting and tub system.


I choose to case my colonized cake in Coir/Verm/Crushed Oyster Shell. It took 3 cakes to fill my tub nicely.

Day 1:


Day 3:


Day 5:


Day 7:


Close-up


Day 9: MY FIRST PINS (11/14/08)!



I'll update when i harvest them.
Cant wait for my first trip experience!

Looks like you have a pretty good set up for a newbie. :thumbup:

From the looks of it, I'd say you'll be ready for fruiting in maybe 3-4 days.

If you want to you can rehydrate your sub a little bit before fruiting by dunking it for 2-3 hours and then recase it with a thin layer.

Or you can just fruit as is and it will probably do fine too.

amazing set up!

recall how much out of pocket it was?



i see u use the coarse grade verm. ive been buying commercial grade, bcuz i think i recall RR saying something about the finer the better (might be wrong)when it comes to vermiculite for brf cakes.

but your colonization looks great and it TONS faster than mine. could be cuz im tryin to colonize at 60 degrees tho :lol:

Total for my project was about $120, i bought 1 extra spore syringe that i didn't use.

I will also be switching over to commercial grade too, but at that time they only had what was offered.

Much props to you, since you are working in more extreme conditions than i am.

If it's digital, just beware they're known to be inaccurate and don't last long, cuz of constant exposure to high RH.

Just regular Duct tape, the acrylic sheet is actually my old computer screen glare protector, that's why it looks tinted.

Oh, and the plant tank had around 20+ red cherry shrimps and few fast growing plants w/ diy co2 tank.. i have a new tank and plants now since my last one broke during moving to my new house.

lol I have a Polaroid flat-screen too.  I read tons of bad reviews about them after it was given to me, but it's worked great for me, almost a year now.. Really crisp picture too.
