So, yesterday my Golden Teacher spores finally came in the mail! I had ordered from sporebank and was excited to know that I would be getting another whole syringe for free. Not only that, but either San Pedro cactus seeds or Blue Afghani Opium Poppy seeds came for free too. I was a little disappointed to find that I got the poppy seeds instead of the cactus.... man I like hallucinogens a lot more than opiates.
Anyways, I got my organic brown rice flour, vermiculite, perlite, tubaware thing from target and some lysol.
3 cups Vermiculite
1 1/2 cups Water
1 1/2 cups Organic Brown Rice Flour
to make 6 jars. Two of which wouldn't fit in the pot soo yeah I skipped on those and will sterilize them later. I sadly didn't have a pressure cooker and had to boil them in a pot for 1 hr. 15 min. and let them cool naturally. Of course when preparing the substrate I lysoled the bathroom and let it sit then did the mixing in their. For inoculation I used the same bathroom to inject the spores into the cups, which were covered by two layers of foil and I took one of and stuck the sterilized needle in through one of the foil layers.
So I only have 4 inoculated so far and hope at least one comes out uncontaminated.... I know I kind of went ghetto, but really I'd be happy with only one cake. Just need a couple grams dry to get me and some good friends and loved ones through the summer. We don't dose to high.
