    Finally started agar dishes

    When I make jars I use bird seed, the cheaper the better. I boil it for 1/2 an hour, strain it then load it in the jars. Pop a hole in the lid, stuff polly fill in the hole. Cover the lid with alu foil to keep water out them pressure cook.

    Finally started agar dishes

    Im pretty sure presto has a 23 qt pressure cooker for about $75 online which is the best bang for your buck. Pressure cooking is what takes up most of the time when making grain jars so the more you can pressure cook at a time the faster you get done. When you pressure cook grain jars its...

    Finally started agar dishes

    With the instant pot u will need to extend the time cuz most of them only hit 12psi. I'd just add like 15 more minutes to the times. A lot of times u can find cheap pressure cookers at the second hand store. The agar plates are going to decrease your contamination rate by quite a bit.

    Finally started agar dishes

    Get some agar agar, some honey and potatos. Fill a pot with a lil over a qt of water and boil the potatos till their soft. 4 potatos will work, slice them up so they boil faster. Once u have the potato water, filter out the potatos using a sock and collect the water in a cup. Put a lil over a...

    Wish weed grew this fast

    I agree, these mushrooms I have now are noticeably more potant than my last batch from a couple years ago. The ones from a couple years ago were noticeably stronger than the ones I was buying off a guy back then. Before i grew these, I never knew a 3.5g trip could be so intense. Just goes to...

    Wish weed grew this fast

    Few of my plates from Start to now. The green fuzzy one was a thumb print, so make sure your hands are washed. The regular petri dishes are malt agar, the glass jars are agar, honey and potato water.

    Finally started agar dishes

    Some more updates on my dishes. They are all doing real good but here is a few pics. The one that looks real good is from growing out a piece of bird seed that had mycelium on it.

    Quick question from a First time mushroom grower

    Its just spores that dropped because u didn't pick them before they completly opened. It wont hurt anything, just a lil bit messy. Most of the mishrooms in the pictures can be picked except the couple small ones.

    Quick question from a First time mushroom grower

    Yea pick it, the one to the right of that big one looks ready too. Take some aluminum foil, wipe it with alcohol. Place the cap on it gills down, drip a couple drops of water on the cap from about 8inches over it so the drop breaks instead of rolling off. Cover it with a jar and let it sit over...

    Quick question from a First time mushroom grower

    Pick them when you can see the gills under the cap or right before the Vail breaks which is what covers the gills till it opens fully

    Quick question from a First time mushroom grower

    A flush is when all your muchrooms grow in and stops producing more. That is your first flush. Once u pick them all and another set of muchrooms comes in, thats your second flush.

Got a bunch of agar dishes knocked up and growing too now so my next batch of jars i can knock up with the agar plates. I also have 18 qt jars...

    Quick question from a First time mushroom grower

    That one mushroom looks dry so maybe more water. You would be well served to learn bulk growing and how to grow spores on agar petri dishes.

    When considering shroom dosage

    2 or 3 grams will do ya right. Things can get hectic at the higher doses. I've topped out at 5.5 and that was enough. Every gram more that you eat increases the effects considerably. Don't forget to go look at a tree once the visuals kick in. Its one of my favorite things to look at trippin
