Better get a thermometer/humidity gauge.I'm no expert, but I think those two things are pretty important to your mushroom growing success.http://shop.ebay.com/items/__thermom...86Q2ec0Q2em301

Alright, the girlfriend should be supplying me with a thermometer. Need to go out and get a hygrometer though...

Gonna follow this grow. I've been deciding between Golden Teacher or some other strain, so I wanna see how this turns out. Can't wait to see some pics.

Well, so far I've heard of big fruits and a very nice visual trip.

hey sniper, try to get some PAN CYAN prints aka blue meanies. Alot better to grow and more potent than GT's. and you really need to get a pressure cooker to get all the bad bugs out of your substrate. I didnt have one when i first started and was getting lots of contams in my jars. Are you going to case your jars or leave them as cakes???

looking for potent shrooms? try PE (Penis Envy) one of the most potent strains out there.

C20H25N3O -chemical formula for fun. C12H16N2 -formula for exploration.

Thanks, will definitely try PE next grow. But yeah, I'm growing them as cakes unless I can case BRF cakes with straight vermiculite.

you can, or you can do 50/50 peat/verm.peat makes it easier to see how moist the casing layer is; verm doesn't change color when wet.

Thanks, but do you think I could use Jiffy-7 Peat pellets for the peat moss? Also, if these 4 jars don't work out I'm going to get one of these two. Anyone have advise for which to choose?
Mushroom Grow Bag
or
Sterilized Super MycoJar

actually, i'd suggest neither. by the time you spend on bags or jars and shipping, you could have bought a really nice pressure cooker or autoclave/canner. once you have a pc, your contam worries are OVER! half pint jars are about 6$ for a dozen, so that's pretty cheap too.

as for the pellets, i think that would be more expensive than the alternative. a small bag of peat moss (sometimes labeled as sphagnum) costs 2-4$, same as vermiculite. 72 jiffy pellets is now around 6$....


really, a pc is your best bet to jars. grains are awesome vs cakes, as grain to grain is an option then, and colonizes faster than a lc inoculation. i use corn, and soon to start spawning to cow poo and hay....
