shroomzz Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I was wondering how exactly do I go about growing some mushrooms,I got some spore syringes, vermiculite, brown rice flour, and a 10 gallon tankDo i just mix some vermiculite and BRF, and spread it acroos the bottom, and then just inject the spores all around in it and seal it up (taking contamination free precautions, of course) and then just wait and watch them grow, then start picking em out once they get big enough,and then will they just keep growing?Any tips out there from some experts??

bumpdaddy Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 no...that wont work...........do a search on the net....you'll find lots of info......btw.... a 10 gallon tank wont do you much good....you dont even need a tank....rubbermaid containers work alot betteryou're also gonna need 1/2 pint canning jars and pearlite...and a pressure cooker....

shroomzz Posted November 17 Author Report Share Posted November 17 I have some spores called Blue Meanies, I just got em no more than a couple months ago, and I was wondering how to grow them so they would just keep on growing, like using the PF Tek method?I just needa figure out how to get it started, there are so many different ways online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomy Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 go to the shroomery.org for more info than you could want.but overviewgrind brown rice flower with vermiculite then add waterput in 1/2 pint mason jars with holes punched in tops by a nail but cover top 1/4 inch with just vermiculite.presure cook to sterilize then let them cool for a dayinject your spores through the holeswait 30 days or so till they get all whitepop them out and put in a container with high humiditywait and mist them dailytripobviously there is a bit more to it (mainly to get the humidity high and keep things sterile)... but not that much.

bumpdaddy Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 blue meanies supposedly arent really a good strain for a beginnner....... like shroomy said said check out shroomery.org .... do the pf-tek to get your feet wet.... hopefully you've been storing the syringes in the fridge or someplace cool and dark .... a couple of months may be hit or miss.....B+ and equador are better strains for beginners..... If you have the spores give it a shot....its a small gamble... even if the syringes turn out bad you'll still have the set up ... and theres plenty of places to get spore syringes....i've never grown blue meanies....so i cant give you much info on the specific strain... but I've heard good things about the end result.....just follow the instructions exactly and remember that patience, sterility and cleanliness are key in the preparation stages...if you register at shroomery.org you'll have access to the grow logs.... some of them are very detailed and will show the different stages of growth...you can learn from other peoples mistakes.. I started screwing around with growing shrooms like 3 years ago just for myself... since then I've become more obsessed with growing them than i am with eatin them....I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
