Was wondering if there was a best spore to use with the PF TEK? My current choices are between, Fat Stem, Golden Teacher, The Gulf Coast, Mattian Romero, and Psilocybe cubensis.
First time growing, and am going to use the PF TEK, anyone?
 
Hey Justin welcom to the club, i hope you have sucess . There is not realy a difference between growing any of the P.Cubensis sorts you mentioned , or the diferences are less than the diferences between the variables that every grow situation has .

You dont need an expensive fish tank . You can use a plastic wash basket or baby bath or something similar so long as you can seal it . I`ve used the big plastic tubs that builders use to mix cement in or big freezer / storage boxes . Just put a sheet of clear plastic over it . If i were you i would read a bit about casing , and try it . It makes it much easyer . If you want to know anything please ask and i`ll try to help you .
 
Ok, I'll just grab the cheapest spore syrnige of some P. Cubensis, thanks GOD, I have a feeling through the next 4-6 weeks I will have many questions. :D
 
"I have a feeling through the next 4-6 weeks I will have many questions."

I hope so , i`m bored shitless at the moment .

As you said starting with cheap spores is a better idea than starting with expensive ones . What i meant about the sorts you mentioned is that they are all P.Cubensis .
 
Oh, awesome, already learned something new. Well time for swim to get some substrate and spores, I think I'm gonna go with Fat Stems, or Teachers.
GOD, haven't you written your own mushroom tek named GOD TEK or something?
 
Yes , i was going to , but someone who wasnt thinking about what they were doing started asking to many questions and so i stoped . I didnt want him doing things , getting into trouble and fucking himself and his family . But theres always someone like that out there so theres no point in trying to protect people from themselves . So i`m just going to try to help where i can , and other people can take the responsibility for themselves .

Agree very much on this one! It works out for everyone eventually this way :)[/b]
 
Ok, was wondering if anyone had any experience with using perlite in the tank for humidity? It's pretty humid regularly here, between 80-90% during the summer.
 
"Agree very much on this one! It works out for everyone eventually this way"

Yes , I know what they do is their own responsibility but the few people who burn their fingers still stay on my conscience .

"anyone had any experience with using perlite in the tank for humidity?"

Yes , this is the start of the right way to go , try it . Then maybe if you try to think about why its good and how you could make it better you will suss the next step to improve the process . I`m not playing quizes here , i`m trying to get you to think about and understand why you have to do what you have to do . Why do you need so much humidity ? Why do people have so many problems with it ? Why do mushrooms grow so easily outside and why do we have so many problems growing them ???

Your 80 - 90% humidity is good .

A tank is good but they are very expensive , they break and they are very heavy .

As GOD wrote, it will work. It's also quite messy as I understand (I never actually tried it). What I use personally is just a layer of 4-5 paper towels on the bottom of the tank. Spray it moist with a mister and that works very well for me.
 
To illustrate my point, here's a fourth flush Palenque grown PF tek with paper towels for moisture.

It's not a bad fourth flush I think :D

(btw that cake on the bottom right, is actually a second flush from a different batch, also Palenque).
 
:shock: That is a VERY nice fourth flush :o
 
Nice picture H.C. thanks .

OK , The picture from HeartCore is perfect for my strange quiz game . The material used to provide moisture is , in this case , how HC has done it , relitivly irelevant . BUT , look at the picture and think about the next step . Think about why perlite could be better than tissues ??? Improve the method . Do something to combat most of the problems asociated with growing . The problems are suplying the mushrooms with water , stopping contamination and preventing flys from eating everything . Make it safer and think about how you could probably double / treble your harvest !!!!!

I am not going to tell you , start thinking . IT IS SO VERY EASY ITS A JOKE . If you ask specific questions i will answer them . Dont get frightened of saying something stupid . Just think and make sugestions . Do a brain storming .

Sorry if i seem a bit big headed , pedantic or patronising . I dont mean to be . I want people to start thinking , to start to understand what they are doing and why . If people do the work themselves they value it and respect it . If people get given things they dont respect them and abuse them .
 
People try to tell me since years that I can have more yield, safer growing etc..

And they are right.

But I don't really care, I grow pf tek since years, it's extremely time efficient and I have always more mushrooms in the freezer than I will ever use :)


Btw I don't see any advantage with Per lite over paper towels. Perlite is more time consuming since it's messy cleaning.

PS The reason the mushies don't look optimal is because it's a 4th flush, the one cake that has bigger ones is 2nd flush. There is nothing that can be improved by using perlite in this setup imo.
 
Ok, definitely just gonna try out the paper towels for first run, thanks for input all. :D Swim plans on just using a 10g aquarium tank as state in PF Tek for ease, but the TEK calls for using Plexiglas with holes drilled in it to fit in the tank diagonally. Instead of that swim was thinking of using some plastic wrap air tight than making holes in the wrap, I would think that would help create more humidity for the mushrooms to drink water. This is also a bit easier to obtain. Also on the humidity topic, cold air condenses water, so wouldn't putting the tank on say like a cold air vent help to create more humidity, or would that just make everything dry out?

What do you guys think?
