anyone know a good mushroom species to get?

having a clean area/house/growing area is key!!!

In the grow I have cared for in it's owners absence, it is in a room with no curtains (windows are boarded up), tile floor, and nothing on the wall but paint and bleach water. Temp controlled , we glove/mask up and spray ourselves down with iso (since I have been told that psylosibe cubensis is extremely alcohol tolerant). Rubber gloves, shut down Ac/ventilation 20 minutes prior to entering for harvest. If you're just checking bags/containers without opening them, no need for all that. Only when opening their biosphere.

100% success in 5 harvests.

damn cleaner than me

The first 4 runs were in a spare bedroom with carpeting and only central air. The inoculation phase is where 3 of the 4 failed.

Since I have spore prints available and a clean room, gonna try this shit on my own (no pun intended).

You can never be too sanitary when growing booms, an unclean grow room will screw you every rip

I just ordered some golden teacher spores. They are apparently easy to grow but fairly middle of the road potency wuse. Going to make a shotgun fruiting chamber and try the pf tek for my first round. Maybe then move on to mono tubs.

Good idea. Get some practice. You can get a 10 grain flour. Or mix 1/2 corn meal with 1/2 brf. I suggest that you get a 1lb bag of popcorn to grow along side the cakes.

Fuck, the more I read, the more I wish I had picked up a few different types of spores. I should have ordered some Golden Teachers, Penis Envy, and some Cyans.

Just get spores off your first grow
Look up how to use agar

 

[PKHydro]

Well I only ordered the GT spores, I don't think the GT'S will give me Penis Envy spores when I grow them out. Lol

I'm aware I can take a spore print from one of my GT'S and use that to continue growing more GT'S. I'm just thinking now I should have ordered more of a variety from the get go so I won't have to place another order in a month or so.

Is agar basically a way to clone? I've read a bit about it but don't understand why people are knocking up agar dishes instead of just going straight to their substrate.

With agar. You can see which colonies will be stronger. The speed of how they will run. Also use as a predictor of overall health and vigor. And how it may fruit. Having a live colony to put it your sub means faster overall colonization. And less risk of invading contaminates.
Whatever spores you got.
Just.
Grow that sh*t kiddddd!!!

Golden Teachers are great!

You can also do sector isolation.
