Default Psilocybe Cubensis Equadorian
Finally I think I have accrued enough knowledge and the right supplies for my first cubensis grow. I selected a strain from Equador because it is said to be the most visual of all cubensis mushrooms, and was also easy to grow. I will be following the Fanaticus teck as closely as i can, starting with the mixing of the substrate tomorow, and hopefully i will have time to steam steralize them as well. I have 10 cc's of hydrated spores in a syringe, which i will use to innoculate 12 wide mouth kerr's. Afterwich they will go on a seedling mat to keep them warm for about 2 weeks while the mycelia spread through the substrate. Afterwich they will be placed in 4 polystyrene bins with dual chambers. I have lots of small air pumps and air rocks, I haven't decided but im toying with making something a little more automated than hand spraying them 2 times a day. I will be posting pics and updates every couple days, and as this is my first mushroom grow I am hoping there are a few out there who can help me along if i need it, would love to hear everyones opinions, for instance, does anybody know how to make an atomatic humidification sytem with air pumps and stones?

Okay, i have been super busy this week so untill tonight i hadn't done any work twords getting my cakes ready for innoculation. but as you can see in these overly large pictures i mixed a 1/4 cup brown rice flower, 1/2 cup fine virmiculite, and a little over a 1/4 cup of mineral water together and scooped them into the jars, afterward they were topped with a layer of dry virmiculite and the lids were put on them. I used gorrilla tape (badass strong) to cover the innoculation holes and to tape the inner and outer lids together.

And finnaly this morning i steralized 8 jars in a steamer for an hour and a half. i loosened the lids and wrapped the tops in heavy duty tin foil to keep the water out of the jars. When they were done they will spend 5-8 hours cooling down and i plan to innoculate the 8 jars with 10 cc's tonight. will yield change a lot if i use the same amount of spores on 8 jars instead of ten? or will they fruit more? I took pictures but forgot to put the memory card in first so i have no way of getting them on my computer, i lost the cable long ago. anyway i hope you can all imagine what a bunch of jars in a covered pot look like...

Did you put the jars on something in the pot? What temperature did you steam them on?

I think that more spores does not equal more fruiting bodies. The mycelium should theoretically spread over the whole media and make fruiting bodies based on environmental factors (like light, food, water availability). I could be wrong. Could someone with more growing experience confirm or correct?

I put the jars in a steamer, it's like a metal collander that fits inside a pot and holds the jars above the water, as for temps i asume it was 212 since thats all the hotter you can get water without a pressure cooker, i kept it at a slow boil for an hour and a half.

Ok, I just finnished innoculating the 8 jars. after 8 hours i felt they were cool enough to stick. first i decontaminated the room with some airosol, and after everything settled i opened the sterile syringe and attached it to the plunger. i then flame steralized it and then alcohal steralized the needle and proceeded to stick the needle through the gorrilla tape and to the side of the jar, where i realeased 2-4 drops of spore fluid into each of four holes. after that i put new tape over the holes and put them back in the box. tomorow moring im gonna dig around and find my old seedling mat. hopefully that will spead up micylial growth. does anybody know what will happen if you just leave the jars at room temp?
