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

you can find some in the wild and print them.

If you used agar plates, you might be able to grow from some dried mushrooms that you bought- but it would be a lot of work, and there'd be a high failure rate. Really, the easiest way is to get an out-of-state friend to help you.

another possibility is use an out of state mail forwarding service. Have whatever you want sent to the forwarding service's location - out of state of course. Ten they send it to you.

also i'll pm you with a link that might help ya

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.

yes this is the message im trying to give people looking at this thread and thinking wow omg i want to do this they should remember that it can be quite intense and not nice at all i just want people to enjoy these wonderful mushrooms and not have a bad impression or seriously hurt themselfs from stupidity

anyway as for the thread im loving it! im going to keep track of this thread as i love shrooms

but just please be carefull i your new to mushrooms and i would say talk to someone who has done shrooms before and do as much reaserch as possible ALSO!!! have a sober siter for your first trip just to keep and eye on you

stay safe!

:peace:

well in a year its possible to get a few pounds with the way i do it, but it makes a lot more sense to use a bulk production way... and thats a lot more expensive and complex

I beg to differ. I used "Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tek"http://www.shroomery.org/9030/Docs-Wild-Bird-Seed-Tek and will never do a BRF cake ever again. The colonization time is quicker and the risk of contamination is less with WBS style jars in my opinion. I think this is due to the use of Tyvek as a filter instead of dry vermiculite. I already had most of the supplies needed for WBS as I had tried the PF Tek before. The only extra supplies I needed were 1 quart jars(which actually cost less than those 1/2 pint jars because I needed less of them), Tyvek(which is free from the post office), and Peat(for the casing layer I'm going to use the 50/50+ Casing Tek Shroomery - 50/50+ Casing Tek). Plus, you cannot use BRF cakes to colonize other jars. With the WBS and other grain Teks(like popcorn and rye) you can. Sort of like cloning with marijuana.

sorry i think you took the post the wrong way, i meant for someone who has never grown before, the bigger bulk ways are more expensive and complex... it costs me literally 10-15 dollars every 3-4 months with what i do (i make the spore prints)... and for people who have never grown or dont know the procedure i think this is the easiest way...

i've used WBS and 50/50+ casing and they are great, just find that people who i know who started with them had a lot of problems and dropped more then me

again this is all IN MY OPINION lol

Gotcha...I am a beginner pretty much and was just adding my two cents. Although I have to admit I did start with BRF cakes. I am just so pleased with the results of I am having with WBS and was just waving the banner for the Tek.

i like this idea a lot. is there any way to get spores without leaving a paper trail?
Click to expand...
you can buy visa card type things at some stores. like you can pay the store cash and they will credit that card with however much cash you want. thats the best way I can think of for paying for spores.

Could anyone here that lives in the U.S. help me out with some shroom spores? I Can't get them shipped to Georgia where I live and I'd really like to experiment with mushroom cultivation. PLEASE shoot me a message if you can help me or know someone else who could.
