So first week...
Got a sterilised plastic tub with brown rice flower and vermiculite around a 50/50 mix. Pierced six holes along the edges with spores and covered with tape, unfortunately put too much on one side but it shouldn't make too much of a difference, maybe it'll take a bit longer.
After 3 days in a dim room noticed no change so put in complete darkness, 2 days later and we have growth! All signs look good so far most importantly no smell, when it smells of farts you have a problem.
Will leave this for another week until atleast 50% is white and furry then will take off the taped up holes and let it breathe a bit, two weeks after that I should be left with a big white cube ready for fruiting.
Been so long since I did mushrooms, really looking forward to this!
Im invy you man, did 1 grow of 3 flights.
Had like 230 gr wet.
Ive dried it all and capsulated them. Its weird but taking 3.5 grams of dried shrooms, golden teachers, i only had a turning stomach and felt not that well.
Very nice project,
Hope yoy do some more!!!
I read that tripreport tonight with a nice joint.

@Organic_LarF, Try 30g wet after finishing a roll up on the same day they are picked and you will speak to God almighty and meet beings from a different dimension! Wet shrooms are "brighter" and much more overpowering, dried shrooms seem to be "darker" but good for music.
I am getting ready for a Mazatapec grow soon. They are a bit more of a challenge but it should be fun.
Thanks for the comment! ๐
@the_canna_scientist, Thanks for the comment, I love growing plants but there is something mysterious about fungus and the way it lives that has made this grow so interesting.
Who knew growing psychedelics could be so educational!
I am a cube and stone grower also. Easier than growing bud.
Good job man. I've been at cubes for about 2 years now..
Making bags and big monos.
Get a flowhood. So much better life.
looks great so far, I'm trying this out for the first time with some different spores. Im using pint jars with a brf pf tek, however I really like how you did the big block ill be interested to see what the yields are like. Very trippy watching it develop.
@QuantumSkies, Thanks, this is my first "professional" set up, you can just put pop corn seeds in a bag with spores and 2 spoons of water but when it gets infected it gets really bad very quickly, this way I have more control over everything. The more solid the block of white you have the less likely an infection, so take your time.
I remember buying these over the counter before they banned them and telling my mum don't eat my mushrooms in the fridge, ๐will have to do a kit myself one day!
High,
Awesome man, ive did some cakes myself, but the ready to grow packages.
As you say now that the co2 does help your plants. Well the grow ive did together with the shrooms was my biggest of all. With some really nice buds.
Thanks to you i know now its not my input, but the shrooms work.

Do you return your tub to darkness still while waiting on full colonization? I just figured out I can use my Coco as a bulk substrate so thinking of giving it a go soon... Best of luck โ๏ธ
@ElevatedNoob, Yes full darkness or it would start fruiting and if you fruit too early it wont use all the nutrients and you'll get a bad yield. The more of a block of white you have the less chance of infection and (hopefully) much better yeild.
Also try pop corn seeds.
Love seeing this on here. Definitely need to do this in the future. If you live in the states..... any reputable places to get spores from that you know of?
