What exactly do you need help with?

I agree a casing is better. IMO, in my particular set of circumstances, an outdoor hpoo casing is absolute best. But I was posting this simply as an alternative for those who do like to work with straw. I personally grow oysters as well as actives, and sometimes I do a straw grow simply because...

Wasnt trying to spend a bunch of money for a roll of tubing that Id never use up, but I wanted to try a straw log for shits and giggles. Long story short, the wife is now pissed at me for using all the diaper genie rolls for my projects. Its tough enough for horizontal logs, cant really vouch...

Like MAOIs. Some of my meds react poorly with them. If it werent for that, I'd just mix up some Aya brew.

Food safe really doesnt worry me either way. Ive heavily used synthetic drugs in the past, like LSD and meth. The damage is done here, y'all. A little bit of hydrochloric acid and lye wont hurt me any more than i've hurt myself, lol. Again thanks for the advice folks.

The evaporation is from based crystal form dissolved in Naphtha (Colemans fuel), which evaps quite quickly. I dont have a prob buying chemicals for it, I'm just thinking outside the box here, as I bought PH adjusters in quantities well beyond what I needed, and I was thinking maybe I could...

or in alkaloid extraction at all. I have some phalaris grass starting this spring in my outdoor beds, and was doing research on the extraction of the wonderful compounds, and I realized the process is, very simply put, to acidify, then basify, nonpolar extraction, freeze, and filter. Is lye...

Musta been typing alongside you, japan. lol

Its my understanding, seeings how you have to refill the 'rez' every 2 or 3 days, that by the time the plant is mature enough to have roots that far down, it would be feeding heavy enough to use up that solution in a couple days. I wouldnt really worry about the solution going stagnant that...

Props again for this thread Darth.

Yeah, brown rice seems to be more contam resistant for whatever reason, which is why you can boil the jars in a pot of water or crock pot instead of PCing. I'm pretty sure theres some whole rice teks out there you could play around with, add a little gypsum to keep the kernels separated, use...

Check out choempi's bulk mono tub setup. Super easy design and really low maintenance. I grow in tubs as well, but he's perfected the K.I.S.S. ( keep it simple stupid ) design. Only whats absolutely necessary to acheive success. I like tinkering, so I mess around with all sorts of methods, but I...

you can even purchase inoculated dowels, and just soak a log, drill holes, and hammer them in. then half bury the log in a semi shaded place and keep wet. It will fruit for a few years if you take care of it. Happy shrooming!

Store bought mushrooms are hit and miss when it comes to genetics. It IS possible to clone onto agar if the mushrooms are very fresh, but the likelihood of it producing fruits or growing at all. This is mostly because commercial farms run their spawn as far as they safely can before fruiting...

Yep. coco. I just had to deal with a very significant nutrient lockout because of the peat moss' tendency to biodegrade and the ph drops dramatically. Transplanting and a ton of TLC saved her, but I wont make that mistake again...

Guess I was just pushing the envelope for companion planting in an indoor garden. Mycelium puts off a bunch of co2, why not put it to use.... I'm not always the most efficient communicator. I believe they actually sell spawn bags for just this purpose.

I did end up transplanting. I was a bit drunk when i posted this initially and wasnt really thinking logically. I really just kept it up out of sheer curiosity.

And unless youre running more than a few tubs in a closet, keeping them elevated off the floor and the door cracked a bit should suffice for FAE. If youre incubating, say, 40 5 lb spawn bags in the same closet, a more agressive air exchange tactic must be implemented. I believe the parameters of...

Choempi, again, not to step on anyones toes, yours nor the well recognized roger rabbit, but I have studied and tested many of Stamets' writings, and have grown many breeds of mushroom. Psilocybes, as well as oyster mushrooms and others, beyond a doubt show phototropic responses to light. I...

IME, very low amounts of light are actually needed, just enough to get the fruits to grow upwards. if you only light from one side, theyll all tilt toward that side. Doesnt seem to affect potency noticeably, but in the absence of brighter light levels, the caps tend to be paler in color.
