Trying to Grow Teachers! First timer

[GreenGoblin69]

Just inoculated 4 grow bags from north spore. Honestly was kinda unsure where to keep them so I put 2 up in my closet where its dark and hopefully warm enough, and i put the other 2 in the room with the boiler so ik it will be warm enough. Unsure of what the temperature odd in both the rooms but ya. I used liquid culture for these. Ive had my fair share of mushrooms but never have tried growing them. Im so excited! If you have any fun tips just holler

Well, read up and get pressure cooker. You will save money and be able to do more. Working with still air box is essential thing, but you are then able to do interesting stuff and never to buy culture again. I saw that bags are more then 120usd - for that you could grow ton of stuff using few monotubs.

When you buy those bags, you are basically paying for shipment of water via courier service. That is wasteful use of earth resources and your money. You can source local grain, sterilize, inoculate, grow your spawn, spawn to bulk (coco coir) and then harvest. I think that my 6 monotubs cost me (not counting plastic containers they are made from) around 9€ (what is that 10usd?), that is 2 coir bricks and probably 4pounds of grain. If you would make bags from that material it would weight probably 30 pounds - that should be 10 of those grow bags...

Thanks for all the information! After i try these bags i plan on doing mono tubs, these are just a test for now, i have two more syringes of culture so i can do tubs for those. Ill look into doing it all from scratch next time

In addition to monotubs, look into shoebox tek. It’s easy and nearly foolproof for beginners.
