You might be right. I've been successful in getting mycelium to take on rye grain in mason jars, but never got to the next phase of actually turning that into mushrooms. I was more thinking along the lines if I shook out a bunch of spores out in the yard... Lazy, I know.

Those look like black cloudtops to me. The GPH is actually pretty low, and you would be able to run quite a few of them with a single pump.

Don't let the lack of interest get ya down. I'll be watching this one. Sounds like you are already familiar with many of the aspects of growing/building. I'd say pick a method or two & go for it. Two things I've noticed around here: It can be difficult to draw a crowd with the mention of...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I suppose a syringe would be a helluva lot easier than trying to isolate good spores in agar. Although I think I'll probably skip the syringe and go for some mimosa root bark next project.

Ha! I should've named this thread "keepin em cool"... Damn retrospect!

Get in where? Root chamber, not possible. Aside from a few aphids diggin on my peppers, I don't have bug issues. 40' away I have about 20 lbs of honey bees. I don't know how many that is, 10s of thousands maybe. I think they keep things in check for me, though I'm not entirely sure about that...

1 month in, and my thumb is still mostly green. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZLmtJVuNk

Title pretty much sums it up. I got my hands on some choice bensis last weekend, and would like to know if it's possible to capture some spores and bring em up in a terrarium??? Anybody try this? I've had 1 semi successful attempt at propagating mycelium, but that's about as far as I got. Thanks!

I think a single one of these could take your nute injector to the next level. I've been trying to rack my brain on ideas that would put one or more of these to good use. My system is pretty dialed for the most part, but a nute injector sounds like it could be challenging. Another notch on the...

I gotta start playing with one or 5 of these! It's long, but filled with great stuff. Arduino http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoBUXOOdLXY

I seriously considered buying an induction lamp awhile back. The allure of never replacing a bulb almost got me. Next time I drop $100 for a bulb, I'll try to keep in mind that I have a few more active brain cells because of it. I only wrap my kitty for the last half hour or so of cooking. Gives...

I had alot going on over the weekend, and decided to remove the drippers before I left and just let the lines free-flow into the netpots. Seems to have made a world of difference. I was worried about this at first, as I thought the increased flow would warm my total volume of liquid faster, but...

That story sounds all to familiar. Now I got fucking gnats in my room. A couple of em found their way to my roots. Cause: Dtw can make you lazy. I catch my runoff in a shallow mixing tub, probably holds 5-6 gallons. It doesn't need to be pumped out very often (2 weeks max) and can turn into a...

Wormhole is the bomb! Mythbusters is pretty good too. I'm jealous of their ability to acquire just about anything for a build. Everytime i see grant using one of those millisecond timers i can't help but think about mist, lol. I also don't dig watchin sports, weird...

It was hot as hell today, and my root zone got just above 80. In a panic I grabbed up a fan and made do. I bought a cheap 1 watt solar panel in thinking I could use it to power the fan, although I'm not sure it's gonna have enough power to get it done. Batteries need to charge. Got an extension...

I'm quoting my own post again, because I believe it was poorly timed as AJ posted at the same time as me. =P

I have to assume you knew there was going to be a fair amount of criticism coming from this group. Sounds like your R&D team have their work cut out for them. Starbucks is gonna have to really crank up the Norah Jones if they're to combat the noise coming from that unit, lol. Another reason to...

Dyna gro! Its cheap & easy (1 part) and I believe it's probably one of the only no-nonsense options our there. I only wish I would've tried it sooner. Although I suppose it doesn't get any cheaper than horsie poo, lol.

I have 2 varieties of tomatoes, jalepeno, red bell pepper, cilantro, & doubled up on basil. I like to cook, and I basically got pico de gallo growin out there, lol. My greenhouse can quickly get upto 120 if I don't have the fan running & the door open. Those bring it down to 100. That's when...

Those roller pumps are pretty cool, as well as the line-up of controllers they have. I recently got a buddy started on doing some hydro in his greenhouse, and he's pretty into it. He's a software genius and is playing around with the arduino stuff now. I think if I can get him in as deep as I...
