[jollygreengiant8]

have you grown shrooms before?

 

[archangel]

no .... i wasn't sure how to

 

[jollygreengiant8]

first timer. nice. i havent gotten around to trying this yet.
the spores come in syringes right?

 

[archangel]

yes i ordered syringes (2) btw nice scrog

 

[jollygreengiant8]

thanks im still waiting for those babies to spread out a little.

so 2 syringes will last through all of those jars?

Im wanting to do 3-4 at a time , my fruiting chamber isnt that big. Inoculate 3-4 wait a month then use the other one for 3-4 more.

 

[jollygreengiant8]

sounds perfect. i cant wait. good luck

 

[archangel]

stay tuned...hopefully they will be here thursday

IMO, half pint jars aren't worth the effort.

after you've done the PFTEK with them, invest in quart jars and 50lb bags of rye and millet.

i thought about doing only 5 jars and half the syringe but thought it would be hard to keep it clean until next five jars.

2 points of advice from exp. shake syringe between jars and flame needle between jars for sterilization.

good luck, i am on my first grow with these. seem easier than pot and faster. atleast i having better results this way.

Interesting, I wanna watch them grow.

 

[SquirrelGod]

I know were you bought those spores, I buy mine from there too.

 

[archangel]

yup it says it on the bag. hopefully they are worth while

 

[archangel]

taking nash's advice (that and i have the wrong size mason jars) im doing a test run...no spores ill give it a week and if they are clean ill do my run.

1/2 pint (8 oz) ballwide mouth tapered the RIGHT size.

 

[MonkeeMan]
