Well it looks like the show is on the road now.. :mrgreen: Went ahead & sterilized everything once it was out of the box. ->


View attachment 3007577 getting everything setup -> View attachment 3007578 View attachment 3007581 not setting air pump up until my jars are ready for the fruiting chamber -> View attachment 3007580 everything nice and cleaned -> View attachment 3007566 made sure to sterilize spore syringe before each injection -> View attachment 3007576 injecting spores tilted towards outside of jars -> View attachment 3007574 jars all knocked of each Golden Teacher's,Mexican, & B+ spores -> View attachment 3007570 each syringe did 2 jars w/ 1 cc ech in each hole -> View attachment 3007571 2 Mexican, 2 B+, 2 Golden Teachers -> View attachment 3007572 used/spent spore syringes -> View attachment 3007573 unused 24K spores -> View attachment 3007567 placed jars in fruiting chamber for slight heat, didnt add medium. Waiting until jars are good and ready before I add my medium. -> View attachment 3007569 top sealed up & lights flipped off --> View attachment 3007568 hopefully within a week or two we will see some action/pinning.. Keep your fingers crossed with me..

Thanks 4 following the Shroom grow guys/gals..


Dank.
you won't see any pins in a week. What's in those jars?

Psilocybe Cubensis is the most cultivated hallucinogenic mushroom in the world. Thought to originate in Southeast Asia and the spores migrated to the New World with cattle. (G Guzman Beih. Nova Hedwigia 74:245-251. 1983) Psy Cubensis is found in North and South America, Australia, as weel as still in Southeast Asia. Mostly psy. cubensis decomposes manure (like panaeolus cyanescens) in the wild. It decomposes the same type of compost used for agaricus bisporus, more commonly known as the button mushroom or the champignon.

Thats an awesome set up you got there. Everything looked super clean and done to the tee. I can only imagine how well this grow will go for you. Seems like you got everything down pat. Cant wait for future updates.

hey dank did them jars come already filled with the brown rice and vermiculite cakes or does it come like that i so curisious to see how that air pump works out when i did mine after i knocked them up i put my jars in a cool dark spot for a month until the jar was fully colinized and then i put it in a tote with 3inches of perlite to hold humidity cause it needs alot like 95% all the time then i sprayed with a mister 3 times a day and took the lid off and fanned it real good water evaping off the cakes is good for pinning but good luck ur going to love this shit and have a whole new hobby i did golden teachers and buma and they were good, nice trip

i just seen u got the golden teachers and b+, i always do the browine rice flower cakes but the cakes u make out of hardwood saw dust to grow the psilocybe azuresece are suppose to be better then the psilocybe cubenzis, more potnent and different buzz i guess thats what they say im sticking to the cubenzi thats strong enough, i even tried the outdoor patch with no luck i think i started toclose to winter, holler if u need anything

You're welcome ;) I'm gonna have a lot of fun watching this grow! I've always wanted to see how its done. Oh so far, I found the same info you have but I'll keep digging and see what I can turn up for ya.
Ok cool thanks. yeah I found a site that still offers to sale spore prints, and or syringes of this strain. :)

Got some important info for you on that other research matter ;) go to gtalk if you can...
Just shoot it to the email. Thanks again.

you won't see any pins in a week. What's in those jars?
Yeah I figured it would take a week or more. Thanks 4 all the help thus far. + rep 2 you my friend. I have been studying up how to collect my spore prints so I don't loose any of these strains I purchased. Do believe I found a easier way to accomplish this goal. ;) brown rice and vermiculite cakes is in the masons as the substrate. Tel me something :??: I have been reading mixed info on the use of spent coffee grounds" is good to also use in your substrate as a added boost for the Shrooms. Is this true :??: I also read that it is more likely to become contaminated more easily.

Thanks bro. Yeah once I got everything in front of me I was able to grasp the concept behind it all. Me I am the type of person "hands on" works better 4 me. ;) Thanks again 4 following the grow.

yeah, ordered the kit. They where already mixed up & sterilized upon arrival. Hell if I had knew everything to make a system was SO cheap, I certainly would've just collected all the materials and made me a setup of my own! Could have saved some $ by doing that. Oh well, live & learn I guess. ;) yeah my relative humidity has been around 95 to 100% last time I looked. Temps hanging right around 80 to 82 degrees. Just sit the inoculated jars inside the fruiting chamber so they can colonize.

yeah are the GT & B+ any good :??: I will be getting me some Brown Rice today & also vermiculite & jars to make up more. Just going to grind my own BR in my mortar. They said to make sure to use "preservative free" BR. So I gotta go to a health store I would say. lol

Another thing I wanted to ask you. I have been told, also read where some Shroom growers will (after colonizing has took well), and after they have placed the cakes in the fruiting chamber, of either taking something sterile and smashing the cakes, and or knocking them over to spreed the fruit, and or "flicking" the Shroom once it has came up. :??: How true is this, and or would you recommend doing it :??: Thanks.

I have never heard of such things, hopefully we can find an answer.
Smashing the cakes would make sence, instead of them fruiting from just the tops they would spread out more? Almost like the dry rice way. Unsure of what type of benifits would come from flicking a shroom. Might just piss it off lol

you can propagate the mycelium by placing small bits of it into new substrate - this is called spawning. You can also clone the mushroom by taking a bit of the fruit and growing it out, this will give you (most likely), a monoculture - monocultures in mushrooms are good things - they fruit better and they yield better. I don't know what "flicking" is, and i do know that you really have to know your stuff if you want to propagate from "cakes". It is possible but difficult.

yeah i never heard of flicking them they might fall off or make the pins stop growing, i always wantted to make a spore print but never did its where u take a cap and place it on a index card and then u put a weight ontop of the cap and the spores come off onto the card and u can use it to knock up a jar later down the road, i wish i would have done it then i wouldnt have to buy any more syringeserased from card 033.jpg100_0960.jpg100_1031.jpgheres my little setup

That looks awesome, did you start from a kit or scratch?

from scratch i got all my info from the shroomery, wasnt really that hard just have to be super clean and sterill, i couldnt find brown rice floor so i just blended up some brown rice and mixed it with vermiculite, im getting ready to do another round, dank got me all amped up again, i like the goldenteacher the best so far big fat caps
