I should...I have enough prints and syringes...and about 30 diff strains total...lol Hacxor runs it from shroomtalk..he knows his shit!

my cheap ass PC is fucking up and not pc'in shit..the seal is fucked up somehow but its too late to take it off and try to fix the shit now
i guess im just going to steam these and hope for the best

making some more syringes too..can never be too prepared

Kush, Ive probably asked you this before but I cant find it..where can I find polyfill at?

walmart...in the crafts section...comes in a bag about the size of a pillow....its cheap, its basicly what pillows are stuffed with.

my PC finally started pc'in last night, just took longer than usual
I followed Kush's Tek this time and simmered the seeds and added a little verm
once done, i shook the jars up and put them back in until this morning
i innoculated 3 qt jars of WBS and covered with the micro-pore tape.

ive got a few pics of a weak 3rd flush for the 2 cakes and a pic of my overcrowded incubator..im hoping i can take something out soon

Looking good man! If that PC is giving you shit, I recommend taking it back(thats what I did with my walmart PC) And I got an 8 qt from Sears for the same price that holds more!
I don't know if you still have your receipt, but I just told them I tryed using it last night, and it wouldn't hold pressure. Not to encourage bad Karma, but when you gotta get shit done, you need to have the right equipment, right!

hey guys does anybody know of any sites similiar to budmail and such that will distribute mushrooms?i tried growing them and failed due to the cold weather(i live in ireland,its winter and they were thai spores and needed warmer growing conditions). i also was gonna buy from a site in holland but as of from the 1st december mushrooms are now illegal in holland! any ideas????

Man illegal in holland as of today, that sucks!

got some pics..
i picked these yesterday




and attached is a pic of my new FC
18g tub with polyfilled holes

What are you using for a lid?

its got a lid, but ill just put seran wrap over it so light can get in

or..you could cut a square out of it..and put seran over it and seal well with tape...then just keep your light right over the window you cut....I would make a window...here is a pic of what I would take off..making it to where the seran wrap will still cover the width...

alright i was being lazy and figured i would just seran wrap the whole top to avoid having to cut more shit but ill get it done.
so i can just tape the seran wrap to make a window in the lid?
everything else seem in order?

yep...looks good to me! did the 1 jar you had end up being contaminated?...and how is the growth after shaking?

Nice lookin shrooms bro, not many, but still nice looking. I like the picture of the gills, they look cool.

Another idea on the lid, something I was actually thinking about. I saw a guy that mounted 2 24" florotubes inside the lid of a large FC. The only thing I was questioning was whether the humidity would hurt anything, or if the light would heat up the fc to much.

it would get too warm...I have to keep my FC so far below the light or it will get too warm....and if its too warm..they wont fruit

That was what I was thinking, just something I thought about after I was it. Maybe it was cold where he was, and the heat didn't hurt. On another note, if you wanted to make it more permanent, you could get a small piece of plexiglass at lowes, and use some epoxy to glue it in place!
