www.shroomery.org

all the questions and answers are there

read up, it takes some knowledge and the right materials to get a good result. i can't stress enough, read www.shroomery.org

it's all there, everything is super easy and almost foolproof.. almost

don't try to half ass anything, don't try to experiment or make your own method... it won't work.

don't skimp on buying materials and supplies, most of the bits are reusable ad nauseum.

did i mention www.shoomery.org

that's all www.shroomery.org

:) how's that for promotion <---

shroomery is intimidating to new people just like RIU is for new people...

read the grow guides, it's all there, post when you really have a question that you haven't search for... post when you have something to contribute...

regulars on RIU/shroomery get burnt out answering the same questions...

i gave up posting on shroomery, haven't been posting much there for a year or so...

i met, befriended and stay in contact with some very cool folk from the shroomery, none of us post on there anymore. i went to gatherings, i went to festivals, i've travelled extensively with shroomery folk...

if RIU treats me like the shroomery did, i'll be very happy

hey monkeeman

i love ur journal its great! :)

i will be starting my shroom grow on the weekend and your journal gave me alot more confidence. i will also be doing the PF-Tek Method as well.

i could not find Brown Rice Flour either so i had to order it from online.

i bought 1 spore syringe and got one free.

so i have the ecudorian and golden teacher that i plan on growing.


also i would like to learn more about casin because i was just gonna do it the regular way but if your way produces more mushies im very interested.


i will be following your grow from start to finish :)


thanks for sharing

Hey everyone

something i always forget to do is when you boil the jars you should make sure that the lids are not on tightly... or it causes the glass to crack:



3 of my 12 were like this, they are ok for this grow but i'll toss them for the next one

i always forget lol, got a few more jars this time then i wanted haha

Well first off I'd like to say that this is just about the most awesome thread ever!

Always wondered about growing mushrooms domestically and here I found what I was intrigued about.

My luck at finding shrooms in cow dung here where I live (Maui, HI :) ) has been quite a difficult task. can't to seem to find the dung that has been in the right conditions.

I was looking at getting spores from The Hawks Eye and was wondering if any of those spores will work in the conditions available in the PF-tek method?

I was looking at just getting the Psilocybe Cubensis B+ because it seems the easiest and others in this tread will be trying it also. But if any spores are possible then I may be looking at trying something different.http://www.thehawkseye.com/b+/b+.html

I will be following this thread with much interest and will love to see the final product at the end.

yeah any spores that are Cubes will work in pf-tek, just to varying degrees

B+ is good when you done 'case' but you put the cakes into like a tuperware to sprout. If you want to follow this grow step by step look into mushrooms like Golden Teacher, Z, pf classic, penis envy

they are good to case :)

Sounds good. might look into getting some Golden Teacher spores or Penis Envy. I was lookig at them last night and seem like good choices.

just a hint about strains... marijuana or cubensis

THEY'RE ALL THE SAME

i encourage someone to test it and prove me wrong. i don't have photos, but i've grown multiple strains in the same grow and couldn't tell them apart, aside from the labelling that i made...

penis envy might be an exception, i haven't grown it myself so i don't have any proof. i've seen conflicting information on whether PE is a function of genetics or environment. there's pictures on www.shroomery.org of penis envy that look just like every every cubensis...

i agree they are all the same in potencey but they do grow differently, and ive grown a lot of different kinds a lot of different ways

and your comments about weed strains all being the same... i have a bag of really white weed, a bag of blue and a bag of light green... and they are all different

truthfully you've been negative on this grow since i started, i get it you can get the information from other sources... this is 100% written based on my own experiences... so relax and go talk at the shroomery since you love it so much... just go start your own grow journal and put whatever you want in it

i've grown mushrooms once before and would love to do it again....but like weed i carnt due to new career but anyway i grew golden teachers for my first and it was realy fun and a new learning curve i made lots of mistakes but oh well lol

my end product was very small mushrooms (due to the huge amount of mistakes i made!) but very very powerful! i underestimated the little buggers! lol i tripped realy heavy after scofing a masive handful of dry shrooms. the experiens was amazing at first lots of colours and intense visions but it turned nasty i couldnt control it i didnt have the experiense i triped my balls off and ended up in hospital! i trip so heavy i thought i was dead :hump: its so hard to explain the best i seen it explained is on this site: Shroomery - Trip Reports (level 5) its horrible it gets to the point you dont belive the world is real! you think normal things like hands and legs r a pile of bull and the universe is one big dream one big fake! and you are so convinsed you wont come out of it....i even said to myself: well you fucked up a few times in your short life but this is it you done it now! dickhead!....i honnestly thought i was dead!

BUT!!! once the trip had calmed down and i got bk into control it was sort of ok but i honslty wish i had taken more care!!!!

so please everyone before you go rushing off and growing loads of shrroms and scoffing them as fast as my fat nan sitting down just read this and think before you fly lol


i got my starter kit form Starters growkit - Azarius


another great link!! Shroomery - Magic Mushroom Dosage Calculator


i am also thinking of writing a trip report for everyone to read and understand how quickly shrooms can turn for good to bad....

yes it was my own fault but please dont do what i did look after yourselfs!

take care

:peace:

I would have to agree that maybe not everyone posting or looking at this grow journal has done shrooms before, so yes people should take caution.

I've tripeed about three times, with the last being quite intense. I reached a point where I wanted the trip to stop because it was so intense. But I cooled it off and kept grip with reality and came out fine. I think shrooms are great, just the ability to have a truly open mind and feeling about everything.

Hopefully I can get a grow started before this journal gets too far along.
