A Complete Pictorial & Editorial Shroom Grow!

Demystifying is the biggest step in accomplishing any task!

...and the task at hand is that of one flamboyant psilocybe GROW!

THE following is a picture of a setup! Please feel free to say if the products used are the proper tools to utilize a successful flush!

All the products Im listing are not fully depicted yet... I'll be adding more photos in the next few days!

The strain in use will be Psilocybe Golden Teachers as there considered the easiest to grow and yield a mediocre to large FLUSH!

The biggest concern for me is the mason jars being used.. do you fellows think these are suitable?

*P.S. Not sure how in the hell that Betty Crocker "Entertaining Basics" book got in there... but I know they'll be a lot of entertaining going on with this FUNGI CROP

Idk from the pictures the jars look like there not tapered which would make it hard if your doing cakes. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/3617124 has a little more info on it. But i am still a newb to shrooms just know a little from when i was helping out my friend

Exactly, I thought so too!

I would need straight sided jars, right!

without a shoulder!

I need to start making jars soon instead of just helping out lol. This website has been making me wanna get off my ass and make some stuff. i am just trying to decide what i wanna do first make dmt or fuck around with rc's. Since my friend has the shrooms covered. What would you do first l. but any way i am going to subscribe to this for sure keep us updated bro

A pressure cooker is in the mist to come!

But I heard you could do away with the pressure cooker if you have very sterile conditions and equip yourself with a good enough stainless pan with a desirable enough hot temperature

If you are doing a grain like rye or popcorn or even wild bird seed, there is no need for tapered sides... its only needed to slide BRF (PF tek) cakes out of the jar...

For grains a PC is a requirement, not so much for BRF cakes, allthough I still suggest even those get PCed.

Thought I'd give you some encouragement to get going...


Oyster mycelium grown on corn and wood chips from my barbeque (we call it braai as we use the coals from a wood fire, not that shitty charcoal stuff).

And the rest are pictures of some very healty cambodiens. Observe the strandy mycelium, this is a good sign of a good genetic mix.

The strains are like veins, nice work again ANC!

Of course, I am working with the most obvious: BRF CAKES!

I just contacted the store where I purchased them and I'm gonna return for wide mouth straight edge jars!

I always heard the smaller the jar the better...as the mycelium seems to grow faster and tends to grow everywhere... is this true?

I got my 70% alcohol on hand... I"m gonna do a thorough cleaning of my floors and counters

Is the SHOTGUN terranuim a good choice for a fruiting chamber?

ja its fine for BRF

Thanks, what about the temperature.. is this so much a concern as for the incubator?

... or do I just have to keep track of the humidity when its fruiting?

Most cubes like tropical temps in the 20s, then best you can do is a stable temperature, rather than any specific temperature...
Something in the 20C and up range should be adequate.

Don't love them to death, I see the glint in your eyes every time you look at your little hand mister. The less times you open up that stuff the less chance for contamination.

A cheap analog (with a needle) humidity meter from a cigar shop is a nice to have. Electronic components and the printed circuit board it is mounted on is not realy made to handle 90% humidity, water soaks in and changes parameters of the components etc... leading to major inaccuracy.

I can purchased hygrometers at hydroponic shops correct?

Currently I am drilling air vents in my fruiting chamber

humidity in your incubator isnt important, but it would be better if you keeped it on the low side. heat + moisture will attract contams. My fav. incubator, is one that uses a reptile heating pad, attached to a cookie sheet, in a large tub. then little metal shelves, keep the jars elevated over the heating pad. and i use a thermostat to keep the temp at a perfect 80*- 82* the shotgun fc works fine, but your going to still want to fan and mist your chamber at least 3 times a day if not more.

Patience is THE hardest part when it comes to growing mushrooms. your going to be dieing to check them several times a day. but if you can wait 7 to 10 days before checking them the first time, and then only check them every 2 to 3 days after it will help calm your nerves.

what i did, that help greatly is go buy a "wireless digital indoor/outdoor thermometer" it has a wireless sensor, that you can put in your inc. and then you can check your temp from anywhere in your home, with out opening the inc. the helps get your fix to check your jars.

Yea you can get then there. I ordered mine off amazon along with my pc and jars.They got these at amazon for $12 a dozen qt. size.I will post my set up in a couple of weeks. I look forward to seeing your progress. Good luck!

Check, check, and mores checks!

Thanks again fellows for all the advice... I am now proceeding in uploading my shotgun fruiting chamber in a bit!

Lol ja, you guys talk and think too much, I started a set of jars when Es started asking wbout the stuff and its about ready to go into the fruiting chamber allready.

LOl I hear ya. This is my first run and I'm spending like 400 on everything so I just want it to go right thats all.

A truely successfull person is not that worried about getting stuff right the first time...
You should be more worried about if you have the stomach to keep working trough some failing streaks....
