how to grow mushrooms the easy way

No tyvek, no injection ports, no fruitung chamber, no birthing, no fanning, no consolidation, no dunking, no rolling, no mixing, no temperature maintenence.

If it is a pain in the ass to clean your house, do your laundry and shower i really dont know what to tell you.
i am still in inoculation stage, but so far it has been very easy. at least easier than 2 loads of laundry, 2 showers, and fucking with trying to slip a needle underneath a lid while performing gymnastics with my fingers.

as a new grower, those are the main things that turned me off to your tek. the pressure cooker can also be a small road block for broke chumps like me.

I'd love to grow some mushrooms, just so that I can have a steady, ready, risk-free supply, but MAN does th:cool:;););-)at not sound like "the easy way" at all. :D I grew 'em once out of a ready-made growbox, and that worked nice, but this is a bit too much of a project for me at the moment. Have to spend way more time than I want to on my evil day job. :/

You can buy a small PC for less than $30.

As for finger gymnastics, your lady will thank you ;)

Back in the days, I always had 3-4 clear rubbermaid tubs filled with P.Cubensis (various strains), Thai, Amazonian, Hawaiian, and more. I always ran the PF tek using various sized jars + 15/psi pressure canner. By now, I'm sure this is an archaic tek, but this was 15 or more yrs ago & worked well. I cultivated them and tripped once /week regularly and noticed some interesting things about our little psychedelic friends. I have had average potency (mostly) but then on 2-3 occasions, they dried navy-blue to indigo black and were POTENT as can Be (for a cubie). These blue/black little devils were flushed from small (1/4pt) jars which colonized very, very fast. These shrooms were really small, but 3.5 grams was enough to send you to the edges of our galaxy. Insanely Strong hallucinations, visual & auditory, body's all rubber, flopping around. I wish I had these on a regular basis, but unfortunately they were a minority. All others were "average" and boring, in comparison-
PS- I remember that the temps were rather Low (60f or less) when I flushed the Potent Cubies. Amazonian strain from PF himself. Surely there's a correlation between temps and potency.In retrospect, these indigo cubes seemed on par with pan cyans (or very close) potency wise. Very rare, ime-

have you noticed any that just slow your time perception and are light on hallucinations? what are the differences between these, i have only tried b+ cubes

Over the years, I have grown: 2 different Thai strains, Hawaiian, Tazmanian, Amazonian, B+ and a few others which elude my memory atm. Most of these cubes (with a few exceptions) were light on the visual hallucinations. However, I 've had a couple of "Break-through" experiences on the Amazonian strain (PF original) - as well as the Thai strains I grew. The Thai were probably the best, overall. Strong body high, with nice visuals throughout. I remember drying a small hand-full of these and the easy going visual trip they induced. These almost always dried to a dark-blue (indigo) color and packed a nice punch, for a cubie! I take anti-psychotic meds for bi-polar disorder these days, so I don't take psychedelics anymore. I had a good run on them though, and a Lot of eye-opening experiences. I have 4 small peyote cacti, but those grow so slowly, it's an exercise in patience ;)

damn, are you able to enjoy mushrooms anymore? or is it just the anti psych and bipolar drugs that messes them up? i have heard that people grow out of them when they are older, i hope its not true.

No, I didn't "grow-out" of them, per say. My medication seems to "dock, or occupy" the same receptors needed to trip. My last attempt was with 5g dry (while on my meds). I hardly felt any effects at all, while normally I'd be tripping for sure. I've read other peoples accounts where they describe similar experiences. Haven't tripped in 7 yrs... Now I have a family, so I don't really have time to be outta my mind ;), but when my Peyotes (eventually) get harvested, I will make some time to hang out with this divine cactus. Hopefully the meds won't deter too much from the experience. Does anyone have neuro- pharmacological back-ground and maybe can weigh-in on this?

View attachment 3367413 You have to look closely, but there are 4 peyote seedlings in the pic. Started them from seed, last summer. Had many more... but shit happens- so now I'm left with 4 healthy and tiny seedlings. Worlds slowest growing cactus. It's an exercise in patience.8)
I always wanted to grow them, it takes seven years right? I better get started, that and some mimosa trees and grape vines

If they're blocking psilocybin it's gonna block mescaline :(

there's only one way around this brother...abstain from all medications 3 days before tripping. or you could get technical and note the half life then do the math to determine when your system has rid itself of the drugs completely. i take medication as well and if i don't abstain then i do not trip. no other way around this unfortunately :/

Great sticky canndo. I've been gone for a while, but it's good to still see that you're around to keep mentoring. Have fun with all your grows people. I started with the notion of the brf ptek crap. I quickly purchased some pcorn b4 my spores arrived. I immediately began experimenting when they came in. Don't waste time on just the normal-la-te-da cake shit. Look around. You will get more from popcorn and experimentation than just doing cakes. I've been out of the game for a while now. But this tek. Its too easy to not warm myself back up on. One thing though. 1/8 cup or less of poultry manure per pound of popcorn. I ended up with iridescent ultra-powerful shrooms. Any more, and they just look freaky.
Good to see you canndo. Later. You're next Mr.Duck.

I'm also considering doing this, probably the only way I'll ever get to try shrooms. How long can I store a spore syringe for?

Also I have an area that's 31" wide, 18.5" tall and 25.5" deep, is that a big enough area to work with for this tek?

3 days may not be long enough depending on the pills' half-life and your body, length on the meds etc. . I was on SSRIs for years and years and even having a month between ceasing taking them and a 150ug acid trip, the effects of the acid were still diminished.
Makes sense, thanks. My challenge will be keeping my operations covert, but from what I read that shouldn't be too hard.
I have to keep this in mind as well... Seems like just for the initial prep of the grain and casing do you have to be totally alone... Most everything else could just be done in a locked room. I'm thinking of keeping my jars stashed under my bed or in my closet.

I've read as long as you keep them refrigerated you can keep em for a loooong time (years)
