would this be good instructions to follow for fruiting
Your mushroom kit should ideally be grown in a sterile, humid environment at a temperature of about 26 degrees C with a little air circulation and a light above.
Thoroughly clean a small fish tank
with a weak bleach solution (approx 10% bleach :90% water).
2. If tank lid is not wall sealed then air exchange will be Ok. If tank Is well sealed then a vent hole. loosely plugged with
cotton wool is needed.
3. Add enough water to cover tank heater. Water should be sterile, so boil then allow to cool before adding to tank. Deionised or distilled water is preferable.
4. Use a small fish tank heater set at 26 degrees C.
5. Temperature is checked with a thermometer.
6. Clean tiles are placed in tank to raise height of kit so it is only sat in 1-2cm of water this is so psilocybe kit will not float around.
7. Your tank should have a light (a small fish tank florescent light is ideal). The magic mushrooms don't need light to grow, but they do grow towards light so this will keep them growing upright.
8. When tank is set up and temp has stabilised at around 26 degrees C the kit may be added and Ws cover removed.
Remember to clean hands thoroughly or wear clean rubber gloves when working in tank.
also what should i fill my starting jars with?
and do i use alluminum foil as the jar cover?
do i need a pressure cooker?
any other tips?
thanks
