you can always grow full 360 just don’t put a bag in it. It just sucks to harvest. When you first set up just use 6-8 tubs put a get a cheap Amazon strip light pack and put one between each stack. After that first run if you still need a lot then man you know a lot of people bro lol. If that is the case then it maybe worth it to do all that you are saying. I also just use 3m micropore tape and not that pillow material you roll up.

Yeah baking is much much harder/longer. I did that in like ‘02 last time or something. Here is a decent video of no one has posted for the monotub part. Roger rabbit has some super olds school videos. Him and PF are the reason we know how to home grow at all I think.

No, OSS and Orrick and later Paul stamens are the reason. This was in the 70's.

OSS and Orrick published a book that had all the particulars and stamets sold everything but spores. You could get the spores from several mail order places.

Not really. That had nothing to do with home grows. PF and RR did that. Stamens books is for commercial growing really not super useful lol.

There is a reason mushroom growing was rare and mostly outdoor hunting before the 90s. Those techniques are very hard to use for most people. By the 90s the techniques had been updated from commercial to home grows. From things that took hours to things that took minutes. No one doibt stamens knowledge or contributions but they didnt teach home growing in the matter we all grow now. That was PF and then RR/shroomery crew.

I like the idea of those inflate-able tubs.

I was looking into tubs to setup in my new little temporary mushroom grow room space (my drying chamber), and was about to buy 4 or 5 larger totes to stack on each other..

Then, I got the idea to just buy a tall plastic storage rack, and cover it with plastic film all the way around. Better yet, I could use polycarbonate panels, so it can be washed down easier. I'll have a tall fruiting chamber with 4-5 shelfs to put the tubs in when ready.

You guys think thats a bad idea? Better to use multiple tubs so they are more isolated from one another?

I like using the 6qt shoeboxes. If one goes bad or something you can toss it no worries. Plus it gives you more tubs to play around with while learning how to dial things in. You can even get a big tub and put some holes in it and put a few shoeboxes inside it without Their lids on. Then you could stack the big tubs.

things were really gloomie after, i had a cancer scare, been thru chemo/ cut on. Bummed out for about eight months then a local gal came up with shrooms ,first round (over 30 years since last dose) was a micro dose, a few days later i worked up ,the nerve to ingest 1and 1/2 grams ,really helped dispell the gloom and doom.i love my local stripper and her shrooms.

Hell yeah. Glad they helped ya. Ya man these things are great for so many things especially the mind. They definitely help the body too, been eating them for a while now and my mental health has drastically gotten better, I've also started to pay attention to how they affect my body and I feel like they definitely help with pain and inflammation too. For some reason the Natalensis was almost like a narcotic high with tons of visuals. I have some mild pain from past injuries and whenever I eat mushrooms it eases the pain, maybe because of the anti-inflammatory properties because it's joint pain in my knee, ankle, and my shoulder.

OSS and Orrick were the basis of all the pioneers i knew or knew about ayt that time. I wasn't talking about his book but his little mail order operation. We were growing cubensis Ling before the internet.


See, back then there was an underground publisher called "loompanics" where we could get information that had never been in a library. I was an ardent pupil of all things mushrooms way back then.

Robert McPherson "invented" the spore syringe. Prior to that the only way to aquire spores was a print. That necessitated sterile agar methods. McPherson put together a method of growing mushrooms from half pint jars (or what ever) by using his product. He had a terrarium where he grew all the source mushrooms and put together his syringes. Homestead sold prints from the back of high times magazine which is where I got my first prints..

McPherson designed his tek not for ease of growth bit so he could sell his $10 syringes, claiming that one syringe was necessary for each jar.

He finally got busted when he began to send specific instructions with his product. Big mistake. Now, of course, all syringes are for "microscopy".

That is not really relevant to home growing. We all know about homestead. No one was growing still because it was too hard. That is great you know some history I was thier man. Lol. pf and shroomery made home growing. Even homestead the kit would go bad 50% of the time and always go bad after 1-2 flushes.

Like for example you don’t need agar to start with a print. How do you make a syringe only with agar? Lol you got how it went in your mind but it is really just how it went for you (honestly i doubt the entire thing lol).

Why do losers you have never accomplished anything always claim others did everything for greed? Is it so they can feel better about never accomplishing anything?

You were there. Where exactly? I started growing mushrooms when I was 20. I am now 70. This was pre homestead kit. Remember that?
