The kits are technically not any easier at growing. All a lot does is skip the prep work Which for some that is great. But why not just buy all the stuff. Make the prepped bags for all year. The. You have your own kits you can use for grows they the year. All you doing is spending a day measurement and putting it in bags I plan on doing this for a month or two at a time. But basically what I'm trying to point out is that what the companies are doing is prepping all these kits. Do you know how long they sit on the shelves? Or sit idk. In a garage or dusty warehouse? From everything I've been reading up for the last few months EVERY day has mentioned NOT to buy a kit. This I beleive has some good advice AND some bad advice in it. Kits are just easy to get going but I feel they are at higher risk of Contams from sitting for who knows how long. Some companies may be fresh and alright to use while others could be old and have tons of sateillite Contams already on and around the kit if not in the kit waiting to germinate too. So as long as you take some precautions and wash everything down good before using the kit. Things like that. I can agree that a kit could be easier in some ways. But I really think it should be said that it is a Smarter or Wiser choice to start fresh on your own without a kit of any kind you can eventually Make your own kits one day. That way you know EXACTLY what your getting. Eventually I am actually going to start seeing kits but each will have a number and a video of me making the kit on a certain date. I can get USB drives for $1 so your get a free USB drive too. lol. But j have a lot of practice and if my experimental a keep having good results I may be using them to base a fresh kit. You order THEN I prep it for ya

Happy growing guys. Hope everyone enjoys the hobby as much as I do

Or share the information that is being accused as misleading. Please correct it so we all know.

I emailed him just to see what his ways were and what he had to share with newbies and no answer to the email. Lol. Thought maybe I'd learn something more. But idk

I as well would like to know more. I don't grow the magic ones but doing that spurred me on to other more difficult species. Lots of people do that.


I've been growing mushrooms from shaggies to oyster to my own strain of oyster for forty years, I can always learn more.


Once we think we have arrived, we grow complacent.


In fact I am experimenting with a whole new way of growing shitaki

I would love to know that cuz I only know of the logs and would it take less then a year?
 
I've got this at the bottom of the jar:

Mycelium growing higher up but VERY slowly. I'm thinking the medium is too wet to see this batch through...

What's the concensus?
That is most likely caused form to much moisture and not rinsing good enough. Popcorn especially should be rinsed really good and then again and again it contains a high amounts of yeast that can render some kinds of popcorns completely useless.

Yeast? Yeast is a micro organism that will be destroyed in 250 degree temperatures in reasonable amounts of time

I wouldnt mind getting some spores of blue meanies....or something that makes the waiting worthwhile. Dont get me wrong my mom grew edibles varieties like canndo does i belive hers were portabellos. Anyway, ive got the time, patience, pressure cooker, mason jars, lids, half gallon of iso alchohol.......

In all honesty, all of you spread bad info on cultivating cubes.
In all honesty, tell us what and show your work. Is it that "microclimate evaporation is a primary trigger" nonsense?

Let's have a discussion because you seem to be taking exception toe in particular.
