[~Dankster~420]

Hey guys.. A few of you already know me from growing the ganja. Over the weekend I decided I was going to set out on another new adventure growing you guessed it (SHROOMS).. I have never grew anything other the bud, so I may need a helping hand here & there. I'm sure that wont be an issue, considering there is allot of good growers, and intelligent cool guys/gals here. I will be for ever great full for any & all help you may/will give me, and if ever anyone else needs any help, we I will pass it on.. So with that said, I look forward to meeting & talking with each & everyone of you here, and I hope you sub up and watch the show with me... hahaha Should be a cool trip down the rabbit hole... Want to join me ?:

I forgot to add I went with Mexican, Golden Teacher, B+, & Banana Pine spores. Just waiting on the system & spores. Then the fun starts.

 

[giggywatts]

[DCobeen]

not bad start low. but bro order some tia shrooms. F the rest. they are my fav a friend grows them. im gonna also. for begginers yes golden teacher. but also have some tia for advance play. Im all about tia for a crowd who is outdoors and about life.

 

[DCobeen]

Ok cool thanks bro.. I will have to remember that. So there called tia ?: I have a question though. Can one keep using the same "cake" over & over until its spent ?: Also, just what is a "cake" made out of ?: Could one make them themselves to keep from having to re purchase them over & over ?:

 

[Skuxx]

No, the cake is what the mycelium use to get their nutrients and spread their network. Eventually they get spent. Did you actually order pre-setup and sterilized jars or something? You can definitely make your own, it's really easy. I'm guessing the ones that you're getting are made from brown rice flour, vermiculite, and water..... Like the "PF mushroom tek".

I misread one part and thought you asked if the same cakes can be used forever. Sorry

 

[DCobeen]

to harvest when they are ripe take and twist till the whole comes out if any is left scrape it out. harvest all. then rewater 1/2 as much. re put in back and wait. 6-8 harvests per brick.

 

[DCobeen]

dank im in iowa bro i would love to try with you. espcially since ive saved a few friends with bad trips, when i wa sober and tripped with them with 0 acid. i can go to any lvl to help a friend. that is my world. im an expert with lsd. shrooms you buy in a brick are safe as long as you follow directions. ive seen idiots use dark rooms and let mold grow talking about a crazy i want to kill you trip. i talked to him and helped him destory all he had left. it was that or he would disappear. you cant do that to anyone. ive grown a few batches. my friend is the expert in growing them. again follow directions. when they grow big open the bag and find a big one take it at the stem aplly little presure sideways if it pops out easy its ready. if it has resistance its not ready.

 

[ULEN]

I'm with you Dank. No solo trips for myself. Too pussy to go solo. Where's chewy located?

 

[DCobeen]

yes best to trip with a few good friends who are not paranoid.

Dude if I knew where and had the funds I'd be there with damn bells on my shoes bro!! Ohh my God I love shrooms toooo much hahahahaha.....I remember my brother came over for new years quite a while back. Man he had a badddd!! case of night owl eyes hahaha....J

 

[jointed]

Subbed fer sure!!

 

[MrEDuck]

Great to see you in HS Dank!
There's plenty of very knowledgeable mushroom growers here. I'm not one of tehm but I'm along for the ride all the same. I emphatically recommend reading Canndo's sticky on mushroom growing. He really knows his mushies.

 

[KLITE]

Growing mushrooms is too easy to be true, there are literally 5 steps involved and if you have a decent strain it will fight off contams like its another grain to colonize. Ive crossed Thai with cambodjan mushrooms and they just fucking grow! I once did G2G transfer in an empty room previuously bleach sprayed and no SAB and only had a few jars out of 30 got contaminated to the point the mycelium couldnt fight it. Use popcorn instead of rye if you were thinking about using rye. I personally prefer rye to popcorn but gettng the moisture content right is a fucking bitch, also depends on the type of rye. I feel rye gets more easily colonized than popcorn, though this could be due to ph...
I wouldnt bother doing PF Tek just get a plastic tub brick of coir 3 quarts of fine vermiculite and 1 quart of gypsum and 10 quarts of water. Break up your jars and soak them with water for 20 minutes, drain until no water drips mix it all in the tub and fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh so many mushrooms you WILL NOT!!! be able to get your hand in the tub to pick them. Remember mushrooms love air and CO2 needs to be 'exhausted' so really LOOSELY fill those holes in the tub, like almost having the polyfill falling out and do NOT have a fan blowing onto your boxes all you need is just a bit of air movement around the room.
I will never get over the fact something so easy to do can make you go off your tits so much.

I had purchased from Caligrowkits.com for the system. All the cakes ie.(sterilized jars) are suppose to be included. I was thinking they was made up from vermiculite & perlite by the looks of the contents. But not 100% sure. So do you just keep harvesting the Shrooms over & over, and how long do you think 1 cake with however much mycelium in it will keep producing ?: Those are my 2 main questions, also whats the best ingredients to use for the cakes ?: Thanks.

OK cool. Well I will be documenting the entire process from start to finish with pictures, and or maybe video. I was also wondering if I could grow different strains at the same time in the 1 setup ?:

Well hells bells. We may have to just sit down & trip once these bitches are finished.. haha

Subbed fer sure!!

Thanks.

Well its really not the fact that I am going off my "tits" as you said. Its that this is my first time doing Shrooms ever, and I don't want to fuck up, and or kill someone! So I fail to see the big deal about asking a few questions to avoid any type of fuck up during the process.

OK. I think I am getting a general understanding of the substrates that can be used for colonization. Such as popcorn, peat moss,rye berry,straw mix, etc'. However, does your substrate have to be a mix of substances such as rye and flour, or can it be just one substance, such as peat moss, or pasteurized mushroom casings. ?: Also, once the cakes colonize, is it true you sit them on aluminum foil instead of directly on your grow medium ?:

 

[GreenSummit]

i use birdseed (a mix of millet and milo, sometimes with wheat or rye berries) and case with coco.

expect 2-4 flushes on your cakes as long as you keep everything clean and properly hydrated.

with your love of growing i think you will really enjoy your new venture, good luck friend!

 

[~Dankster~420]

Thanks. So basically once your water in your tub drys up, you add more ie' flush to get more shrooms ?: would you have to add more spores or no ?:
Also, what did you use for your lighting ?: I was reading that all they need is 6 hours, and you could get by with as little as 30 minutes! How true is that ?: I was thinking about using my LED light system to grow um.
