good good , i just watched a documentary on you tube magic mushroom growing made easy it showed the pf tek method also showed the rye seed method

the rye seed substrate looked a lot better for bulk growing and constant cultivation i was looking for rye seed and all a seem to be finding is bird seed and lawn grass would this be suitible for this purpose

hi im starting my first project and was looking for a kit that would save cash on having to buy a pressure cooker n substrate ect i found a kit on ebay from a company based in the uk which is where im located

i read through te description it says the substrate comes sealed and streilized using u.v sterilization which i thought was rather strange

the substrate is pf-tek containing        medium grade vermiculite
                                                     organic brown rice flour
                                                     mineral water
                                                     worm casings
                                                     bee pollen
                                                     and some sort of antibiotic



the company state that the sterilization technique is done with ultra violet waves


the spore syringe i have purchased is the golden teacher as i said this is my first project and any help tips n techniques are much apreciated thanks
