i recieved a great harvest from the pf tek and i dont see a reson to do any other method right now...whats your opinion about pf tek???

pf tek is cool. great for beginners to get the concepts down. I don't think I'm going to try my hand at casing until next summer when school is out. I need more time and a clear head on a sunny day is a great environment for thinking of new plans

I put in tea because it quickens the onset to 15 to 30 minutes and since your body doesn't have to break down the active ingredient its much lighter on your stomach. Plus you can make multiple batches of tea with the same mushies, I took 2.5 grams and between two people we were tripping from 1030 to 500 in the morning after drinking two cups of tea, one at first and the other about 30 mins to an hour later. Shit is awesome.

to make tea simply

Boil tea(I use rasberry leaf) and let it cool down from a boil to just being very very hot, but not bubbing anymore.

Break up your mushrooms, it helps if their are dried, if not dry them. Place them in a cup and pour the steaming tea over the mushrooms and stir the shrooms around.

Now place a plate or some other lid over the top of the cup and let the mushrooms sit and stew in the water for about 15-20 minutes.

Strain the mushrooms out and add honey or other sweetener to the tea and drink. Make sure to clean up before you drink unless you plan on making more, and be carefull trying to make more when you start tripping, it starts fast and the peak is intense because the drug metabolizes very quickly into your bloodstream.

Have fun!!!

around here you get ten caps and stems for an 8th

thankyou all for posting...you guys were such a great help

not sure if it was mentioned but its better to pick them when the cap is closed... they dont get any more potent just pick up water weight from the cake, and drop messy spores everywhere which can lead to contam

i always dunk and roll the cakes, cool water with a dash of h202, was it the same high times i saw where the guy was growing 20+ lds dry a month from a wall of aquariums? thats what inspired me to start too haha...
proves you can get great results from the pf tek! there are other larger yielding methods like strawlogs...but iv always gone back to the pftek

iv heard of people dunking with a little bit of milk to give it nutrients... i have never done this so i cant vouch, as stated before i figure food attracts contam.
congrats on your mushie grow!

After the cake has been in there long enough (24 hours is a good range), you roll the cake in damp vermiculite and place in the fruiting chamber.

Roll in DRY perlite, put in FC, give 30 minutes break to drip dry then mist the perlite wet... it has a hard time sticking to the cake if it is moist...

....uhhh you mean VERMiculite... PERlite is used to raise humidity

Slip of the brain, I have been smokeing pot daily for nearly 20 years you know.

yes, perlite large surface area, good for aeration and evaporation.

verm can take up large amount of water into internal spaces... good for retaining moisture makeing it available mostly though capilary action.


The thing I tried to stress was the DRY part, putting the crumbs on moist is a chore... also remember to let it stand 30 minutes before misting them wet, else they will just come right off too.

wasnt trying to bust youre balls...only reason it stuck out to me is cuz i DID that once
haha... sorta worked.. Mycelium just doesnt like to grow on perlite too much i guess?

That looks like the first mushroom I ever ate. It was back in like sophmore or junior year of high school, me and a friend R were at a party drinkin and the dad flipped out and sent everybody home at like 11 at night. Some people left right away but me, R and like 10 kids were chillin outside. Trying to sober up for the drives. All of a sudden this kid drives up in a pickup and says "anyone want any mushrooms" I'd always wanted to try them so i jumped in his pick-up. He pulls out a scale, and 1 mushroom. And like that one in the pic the mushroom weighed exactly 3.6 EXACTLY. I ate it and me and R went to my friend D's house. D has a shitload of trippy posters and Doors posters and i remember zoning into the pictures for soo long. And I had an 1/8th of chronic and no one else had any so I gave it to R to pack. He gave it to me and i remember lighting the lighter about 2 inches from the bowl and trying to push the flame with my finger into the bowl. It was a good and crazy night. GOA trance all night. Shpongle and 1200 Mics. But D put on some String Cheese before he went to bed and that was the first time I heard them and almost nutted.

ANC.........Jesus Christ I almost died after looking at your avatar. I just got done scraping my jars (desperation) and smoked a bowl of keif. I was looking around and saw that shit and my side is hurting because of laughing so hard. I just signed on becuase I just bought 7 grams of mushrooms and was thinking of when I should take them. I'm going to do them all at once but am thinking of where. I am not a huge mushroom fan, I just like to eat them when I have a LOT to eat so I can have the craziest visuals, I'm more of an LSD and RC man. I don't want to wait until the infected mushroom show in March but....I might. I might go to the Disco Biscuits show tomarrow but at the same time, if I do I'll probably just take acid and XTC. I like mixing them all but I only do that when I have like at least 5 hits of acid, 2-3 rolls and an 1/8 of mushies. Never mixed more than an 1/8 of mushies with the others.

Any Ideas, I've done it a lot and just want to go CRAZY

my grow finally finished....i started 12 more jars but 10 of em didnt make it....they dried out somehow....anyway i got one really good jar and its almost down to the bottom but i see a little tiny piece of bacteria in their....will it fight it off???


can i cut pices of the started cake to put in fresh jars

its worth a try! us a sterilized spoon to scoop off the good part/bad part and you can try to case it... even under the best circumstances its about a 50% chance
if your getting really high contam rates like you are start back at step one
did you use a pressure cooker? or just stem them in a big pot? pressure cooker is preferable,
if you made your own cakes did you mix it verm-water-THEN flour if you mix the water in with the verm AND flour then the flour and water can create a paste that mycelium cant grew through.

make sure vermiculite is at feild capasity (cant hold any more water, isnt dripping water) then dust the flour over evenly and mix in. that caused me a lot of preoblems when i started.

if all that is good, then its either your syringes or your inoculation technique.

i didnt have a high cantam rate....

i think i mixed it inproperly,,,but i do have one nice jar growing and im hoping to add more but i just might make some spore prints

i used a large pot i hope to get a pressure cooker when the funds come up......i want a big one like a64qt or sumthin....do they sell em at walmart??
