Hehehehe, dont worry folks I will be working with more jars. I just wanted to know if there was a way that was more efficient to do one jar.

thanks for the concern   

Hey PW, I'm aware of the aquarium heater method. I was just wondering about the best way to incubate one single jar in a small area.

Thanks for ur help

1/2 pint

what is the process with hydroton, is it the same as with perlite? Just add water and let it sit in the FC? , if im wrong can someone place a link of the proper way to use the hydroton.

ALWAYS, THANKS

HEY THERE, was the best way (less space consuming) to incubate one single jar at optimum temp?

...also, when incubating many jars what do you guys think of heating pads, like the ones used in lizard aquariums?

AS you can see <----- I'm a newbie so please dont get offended by my crazy thoughts.

Is it possible to take a sample of mycelium from a fully colonized jar and transfer it to a jar with verm, and rice flour (as if you innoculate it with mycelium?)

if this is completetly stupid idea, whats the best or easiest way to keep an endless supply?

thanks heartx,

How many holes do you have in your terrarium? some videos around the web suggest A LOT of holes. this doesnt make much sense to me. I figured 2 up top and 2 at the bottom will be sufficient?

Whats the difference between perlite and hydroton?

WHAT about humidity?

Again, reading around the web there are tons of different options. Which one is the most feasible and succesful technique. PERLITE, the other "perlite" like product, humifiders, etc....

Can you post some pictures of the fruiting chamber from above/sides? It looks so good and humid in there. what humidification technique are u using?

thank you fun guy and baph.

now, straight up what is the best way to set up the terrarium (enough for 12 1/2pint jars). Baph, you mentioned natural light is all you need but what about the amount of it? and what if I don't cant have exposed to natural light?

which incubation technique did you use?
time exposed in light, temp, etc....

Hey there, first of all let me thank you for the help provided to me. Second, I know that most (if not all) of the info I'm asking is somewhere in this website, but I just can't seem to find the "right answers". SO, here are my first questions.

1. Can I innoculate and birth in the same room?
2. Can I innoculate 2 different strains at once in the same room?
3. What's the "best/fastest" way to incubate, how much light, temp, etc....
4. If I follow the "let's grow mushrooms" videos, I WILL BE SUCCESFUL?
5. When it comes to the fruiting chamber/terrarium, Whats the best way to keep humidified, and how much light per day?

PARDON my ignorance.

can you post a few pics of your fruiting chamber?
I'm also a newbie and I'm trying to decide whether to use the terrarium they use in "let's grow mushroom videos" or the ones describe in the forums. THERE ARE SO MANY ALTERNATIVES it drives me crazy!
