a mediocre shroom garden thread

Get two spawn bags and one bag of compost. Inoculate each bag to 1/2-1/4 a syringe each. Then after the grain colonizes, break it up, mix it with the compost, and put it in a FC.
I'll be keeping this in a closet, should I crazy sterilize the room I'm mixing it in or make a glove box and do it in there? After it's mixed and put in the FC, does the closet need to be sterilized? Does the FC need any light? I don't mean to bombard you with all the questions but just curious

I should probably add to that:

After adding to the FC, deprive of light and keep between like, 71 and 90 degrees until the bulk substrate is colonized entirely by the grain spawn. THEN expose to light.

Sterilize everything BEFORE use.

Are you going to mist and fan to get pins/fruits? I recently checked out a local op with 10gal pails as the bulk tubs. Swim was still misting and fanning. Yielded 48g cracker dry per pail with huge hand sized mushrooms.

How did you prepare for inoculation? Did you clean and bleach your walls or just spray Lysol in and inject the bags in a glove box? I'm just wondering what your method is, I can more than likely inoculate bags in my closet. I just don't want to clean my house like a meth freak. In blogs before they would say go crazy with the bleach and I have waaaaaay too much shit. However I can do in a closet

I kind of just used a second, larger bin and used alcohol and sanitary wipes to wipe it down beforehand. Gives you a smaller space to keep up after. Wiped down the needle with alcohol.

Make sure you shower, wipe your hands and arms down with alcohol, and even strip naked before touching anything, and wear gloves. Once the substrate is colonized, it's less likely to be contaminated.

Careful with lysol after you get spawn. It causes mutations, so its likely the aerosol in it becomes absorbed, altering the tissue. Just a detail I have learned, I don't mean to keep butting in lmao

I'll make sure to do it in my birthday suit

Btw thank you for the info, I have been wanting to grow but just couldn't afford the PC or the meth-crazy cleaning. The city I live in is gear more towards cocaine, pills, and meth. All the acid is designer drugs and shrooms really don't come in
