Srry more questions lol.   -What is the best was to mass produce.  which method used gives the most shrooms.  When using the grains and getting a single strain (making lots of jars from 1 jar) can u make a really big bed/casing.
- also after a cake is colonized can u store it in a fridge to stall the process (like if i want to grow it later?? If yes than how Long?

1 more question... do you all reccomned using a glovebox ( thinking bout making 1 out of a cardboared box with a plactic window at the top that opens, is that ok).  Will it make a big diffrence or no, is it worth it? 
Also, in indirect light enough (i dont have 2 much like in my room)or is it better just to use a florecent light over my bin?

Can you dunk the cake for 12hr (cold water in the fridge) before ure first fruiting, after the incubation period or only after a flush??  Also, when u dunk is it ok just to put a  1/2 pint cake into a little bigger jar?

OFF TOPIC-  When fruting, can u put as many cakes as u'd like into ure chamber as long as u got space.  I read that as u need at least 2 inches between cakes, is that ok?

If i may add a question, as im a 1st timer also.  How much of the spores do u put into each (1/2 pint) jar?  if the syringe is 10ml (i think standard), is it ok to put 1.2 in each jar, which would be 0.3 in each hole (4 holes)?   

might answer ure question of making bout 8-9 jars..???

Cultivation / Spores for a beginner?
October 06, 2008, 12:03:28 PM
Hello all, I've been reading over the forum and doing a little research and I have a few questions for experienced growers...

1.  I'd like my 1st specimen to grow fairly fast (I plan on getting them from Ralphsterspores and ive heard Cambodian or Brazilian r good for beginners)  what would you recommend??

2.  How long do they usually take (at 85) and as I'm in Chi how does outside temp affect them (as winter is coming up and i might do it in the basement)??

3.  How much does say 1 syringe produce on average in a standard (1 pt or 1/2 pt) jar (oz.,  half oz, QP,  etc...) or what size would u recommend ??  I plan on getting 4 syringes with 2 different types (should i get them all the same and do they expire or anything like that??)

4.  What is the best (most potent) type of spore you've had from past experiences?  Has any1 had the "Golden Teacher" or the "B+"??  How are the "Brazilians"??

5.  I plan to use the PF-tek method, following Utube vids... Its says i dont need a PC as i could just boil (steam) them.  What is ure opinion on this and what are the advatages of a PC?

6.  I was thinking about getting the grow buddy software,  does any1 have that and is it worth getting?

7.  Ive seen 2 different methods,  the jars with the lids (4 holes and tape) and just normal drinking glasses where they were topred with 2 layers or aluminum foil.  Which method is better and more succesful? 

Thank You for you're time and advice.  I hope to get started soon and I must say, I'm very excited.
