Ok iv finally decided to start growing mushies

I ordered 10cc B+ strain syringe...and i dicided to go with PF tek method, but im not sure either i should do casing or not, i wanna hear other succefull growers responses if a compleate newbie should start with casing...also has any1 tried growing b+ before...is it potent?

once i receive all my needed equipment i'll start a grow log hear so professionals can correct my silly mistakes

btw i check shroomery.org but people over there don't help that much they just point u to f.a.q. which i red already 100 times

I haven't used that strain or cultivated shrooms for that matter in quite some time. I will tell this. A pressure cooker is 100% crucial in order to achieve harvestors bliss. Also, your shit everything including the room you choose to cultivate in must be absolutely sterile(within reason) and distilled water is a must. Don't fuck-up like 95% of others and contamiate your shit by not treating everything and anything as if you were in surgery. No joke! If you do this you will yield pounds of the shit wonder what to do with all the shrooms you have on hand. Dust is your enemy as well as cat and dog dander. Light isn't as important as you'd think and sesamee seeds are to my knowledge your best bet as food and fuel for your spores. Good luck bro. And let us know how you do.

Preasure cooker is my only problem, i got a broke one...but even if its not broken i don't want take a rist and blow up the house with it

also alota people say that just by boiling waterer you can sterilize all the jars preaty good in a hour or so, so im planing to go without pc...as for my terrarium im planning to use a big plastic container, in which i'll make top transparent so my pins get some inderect sunlight dayly...

i can't wait till i get my spores im so exited god damn!

God, what is it with the Shroomery? The shroomery is shit compared to Mycotopia.net.

Boiling your substrate is effective but not nearly as much as PCing.

And just make sure you know what you are doing and everything is sterile. Also, be patient. You will most likely get contams on your first try so learn from your mistakes and above all, be patient!

Where did you buy your spores from?

Absolutely not true. Steam sterilizing is just fine. Put jars and substrate in pot. Fill with water(any water) halfway to jars. Put on high temp till you get a boil going. Then put the top on and decrease you temp. to halfway point. You could have the fucking dirtiest room in the world and still grow. After all, you cover your jars.

Not true. The hottest you will ever get the substrate to is the boiling point. Some of the nastier starins of mold and bacteria can withstand that temp for long periods. A PC will heat up the substrate about 40�F higher then boiling will, therefore killing a higher percent of the contams.

Not a flame, just info.

That's true BUT you can use water with success.

True.

Actually many, MANY people have great success with just boiling. Infact, I bowled my jars, and didn't have a signal one get contaminated. As well, I went straight to casings and found it to be nothing short of simple. All it takes are a few disposable cooking pans, and some vermiculite. Sandwhich some crubled cakes in between two .5 inch layrs of moist vermiculite, seal the top, wait a weak, the remove the seal and put it in your terrarium.

On my first try, I yielded roughly 40 grams dried, so I can say Im happy, though I fucked up 7g's when drying, but now I've learned.

Mushroom cultivation is like 60% patients, 30% sterility, and 10% knowledge. Its not a hard concept to grasp at all, and theres really not to much to basic cultivation. As long as you follow your plan as set, and give it time, then it should all go well.
