hmm if there is another thread here about this, please point the way, but if not, then.... I am going to grow shrooms. i have found a good batch and have spore prints, but i dont have access to alot of the ingredients used for growin these sum' bitches. i can get rice and straw, some jars and some tupperware but not much else. i cant even get a pressue cooker....i was wondering if i could grow some with just these bare items. thanx
bah straw wait un til your a bit more experienced maybe...id say you only need vermiculite brown rice flour water spores jars iso alcohol in a sprayer pressure cooker and few other material but the improtant is that for a first grow, if im not mistakin, in your paretns house
do what you can with what you have. you'll get more contamination without a pressure cooker but some of the jars should make it..
Do you really need a pressure cooker? Can you just wash all the jars and stuff like really really good, in some sort of acid or another...
hmm....maybe ii could just boils them? and i found somewhere on the internet that gives spore prints for free.
yes you could but the thing is that no water has to come in the jars , so just a put a little bit of it like an inch and put a cover on. Make it like 2 hours maybe, and dont put the jars airtights, they could explode.
You should go to shroomery.org, they have all the info you need. You have to pressure cook the jars, or else they will get contaminated and all of you time will be spent for nothing. Believe me you want to learn everything you can, or else you will just waste supplies. On Shroomery they have all sorts of techniques to grow them, and also a forum where you can ask questions and search for ones people have already answered. Those people know what they're doing. The PF Tek is a place to start: http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23593 This is the first technique, and now there are many variations and different ways to go about it...you'll learn quickly don't worry. Also, there are many spore vendors in the Shroomery Sponsors Forum, alot of times they offer deals for shroomery members. You want a syringe of liquid spores, thats the best way to innoculate jars and get the process started. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Cat/0/Board/Vendor Here are some vendors a friend of a friend told me were good: http://www.spores101.com/psilocybe-spore-strains.html and http://www.ralphstersspores.com/index_files/Page398.html It doesn't matter too much what strain you pick as they are all pretty similar, but many beginners go with B+, Treasure Coast, or Golden Teacher, any are good, trust Good luck with everything
