Hell yeah, I loved growing bud. Miss it, just been buying it these days. I haven't had mushrooms in 6 years, never able to find any around so this will definitely be a treat if it all works out. Seeing growth in 7 jars now
. Going to give them a swirl tomorrow night. Thinking about buying the pre-pasteurized casing mix from shroomsupply when I need it
Great! Happy to hear that everythings going well. I used to grow bud... that is my one undying love. Growing bud. OG Kush. I miss you bro'. But. Growing the shrooms is the next best fun thing on my retirement list.
My suggestion to anyone reading this.
Go balls deep in just doing this tek. It is by far the easiest grain tek to do. As far as cost of $ compared with cost of time in preparation. There is no other way to go. WBS is great. But, the time cost is high. Rye is nice. But the time, availabity/time, and unease in prep is high. Popcorn is at nearly every bodega (corner store) or grocery store.
Just keep everything clean.
If the jars dont look obviously contam, but are going slow. Keep em. Put em to the side. Review what you did. Make corrections. Make new jars.
Just keep on going forward. This tek works. Its easy. We you just do stupid shit to fuck it up. I know I did. I was out the game for nearly 3 years. I came back in with more $, and ended up infusing too much calcium. It slowed everything down. Only one questionable contam out of the first week of 22 jars. Good percentile. But, they are all bouncing back. Super charged with awesome looking myc!
I just made 11 more jars.
5 are from corn malt, corn meal, worm casing, coco/verm cakes. 6 are of popcorn. Whatever. The point is to keep going.
Perhaps the greatest part of this tek is the fact that you can sit and view everthing that is going on with the process by examining the growth within the jars. By doing this. You can better plan and execute your bulk grows, and have a better understanding of what to expect.
Good luck to you all. And keep it growing.
Later.
Da Sprout.
