Growing magic mushrooms.. - General

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cubensis]psilocybe cubensis[/url] to be precise. Any tips on how to keep very clean while in the process? - What can I use as an alternative to using a pressure cooker? such as cleaning methods, since I would of thought using a pressure cooker is only to sterilise the cake jars - Any tips on dunking and rolling? - Any tips on the whole procedure from creating the cake to harvesting and drying?

-heat the needle tip before incubating -use a glove box -use lysol/rubbing alcohol/other disinfectant -only do your work on a clean, neat workspace -wear latex gloves -wash your hands what kind of tek are you going to use to grow?

good luck, you'll need it

I've gotten hold of some amazonian cubensis spores I have no tapered jars but using tapered glasses with tin foil over the top..

I have some spores for this but they've been in the fridge so long they're probably fucked over by now. Anybody know if they will still be okay? It's been about 6 months.

Why do I need 2 of those boxes?

You could grow truffles to avoid the fruiting process.

piss on plant, help plant grow

my penis is a shape of a mushroom :DD

If you don't have access to a pressure cooker you can always buy pre-sterilized substrate jars or bags, but they're quite expensive for what they are. brianosaur explained everything to keep clean, and when you're dunking keep it submerged in water for about a day.

[QUOTE=Levakama;23399751]You could grow truffles to avoid the fruiting process.[/QUOTE] Interesting! Easier to grow?

[QUOTE=Essex;23394692]Dont you mean perlite? Why do I need 2 of those boxes?[/QUOTE] no, in the canning jars. you fill up your jars with your substrate, but then leave like a half-inch layer of only vermiculite. it helps keep contams out of your substrate. you need 2 boxes because you fill one up with water (not ALL THE WAY FULL, just a little bit to heat the other box), then put your aquarium heater in there, and set it to ~75-80 degrees. stack your other box in there and layer the bottom with perlite. then you put your brf cakes in there (on top of a peice of tin foil). mist the box with water, and the rest is easy. fan your box a few times a day, and wait for your magical reward to grow! :D

[QUOTE=Essex;23402665]Interesting! Easier to grow?[/QUOTE] Yeah.Check this guide [url]http://www.shroomery.org/8420/Psilocybe-mexicana-amp-P-tampanensis-sclerotia[/url]

fuk truffels they're way less potent. if you are going to grow shrooms with syringes u should grow the hawaiian, most potent of em all.

i thought that when mother was FUCK

[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;23410974]fuk truffels they're way less potent. if you are going to grow shrooms with syringes u should grow the hawaiian, most potent of em all.[/QUOTE] Not really, they are 2/3 potency of cubes, and the fact that you can grow shitload just by having inocculated jars under bed makes up for it.

[QUOTE=Levakama;23411951]Not really, they are 2/3 potency of cubes, and the fact that you can grow shitload just by having inocculated jars under bed makes up for it.[/QUOTE] they are all technically cubes, one batch can be less/more potent than another. it varies on a lot of different factors; however, there is actually a table that somewhat represents how the factors play a role, but it's mostly for shroom hunters. if you do a lot of experimenting with mycology you can find the exact type of habitat that is needed to be replicated to get the best results. [b]EDIT:[/b] this is the table: Temperature = Potency Humidity = Quantity Weather = Condition Field = Quality

(I'll probably find it after posting this though..)

[QUOTE=Imaledgev2;23431961]That's really helpful dude. Do you know where I could find this table? (I'll probably find it after posting this though..)[/QUOTE] i added it in the post.

This is a really interesting read, I may try it when I'm in uni.

OP if you need help you can PM me or look on [url]www.shroomery.org[/url] (they are really helpful)

You can always buy these grow bag things, they're pre sterilized. All you do is inject the spores and let them grow.

i buy growboxes, add some water, let it stand for 24 hours, trow water out, put it in the plastic bag given with the growkit and u have fresh shroomies in 4 weeks
