For anyone who was in my thread last week, and cares at all, yesterday was Week 2

For anyone who was in my thread last week, and cares at all, yesterday was Week 2.
While only two of my 17 jars were contaminated with trich, all 15 are doing just fine and are growing healthy Mycelium.
Thought I might as well go and share some of the pics.

First image I accidentally had my flash on. While light is good for Mycelium supposedly, don't know about a flash of bright light, lol.

Last jar I took a pic of.

are these mushrooms/fungus? what am I looking at?

What a blur.

It's the vegetative state of P. cubensis mushrooms, so technically, yes.

Pic from last week's thread.

what is the end goal?

To grow two different strains of P. Cubensise, being Nepal Chitwan & Ecuador's.
My next grow, which I already have the spores for, will be the strain Menace. I'm just waiting to make self healing lids for my jars so as to not worry about airborne contaminants. Makes the process sooooo much easier. Just gotta wait for the items to arrive.

whats the purpose of growing this shit

could you not use an airlock like that from a brewing kit to prevent airborne contamination?

VVVVVVVVVV

A brewing kit? Not sure what that is.
Everything just needs to be sterile. From the area that your working on and around (table/walls/items), to your syringes, substrate, jars, and the air around you.

search brew kit airlock they use water to allow air out but prevent air getting in

Magic mushrooms, mano.

Psilosybin (spelling?). Magic mushrooms.

Lookin good OP. Its been awhile since ive done this, but it threw me when you said mycelium likes the light. I thiuht it was the other way around.
I thought about googling it, but im on the shitter right now bout to load up some porn for a little weekend preload. You are probably right.

That could technically work, but it'd be a bigger hassle to attach it to a mason jar lid. The water could be breeding grounds for contaminants as well.
It's easier to get something like eazyfelt or synthetic filter discs, make two holes in a mason jar lid, then seal the filter discs with silicone to one hole, then seal the other hole with a rubber stopper (not required), or just sealing the other holes both top and bottom with silicone for an injection port.
Filter disc let's it breathe, but doesn't let anything in, and the silicone will seal back up after penetrating with a needle.

Why do all this work when you can just drive out into the country and pick them off cow shit?

They'll grow in the dark just fine, but people have said that light will encourage them to grow quicker, and it can trigger pinning sooner when it's fully colonized.
Also, have been on the shitter the entire time as well, haha.

Because I grow them in bulk and get a couple ounces instead of trespassing on a farm to look at a cow's shit and get maybe like 3-10 grams.
As well, I can choose what strain I want to grow, in whatever substrate (it's food), and choose what outcome I want from it.

Sigh. OP, did you start from multispore or agar? You get much faster colonization from agar and dont waste nearly as many spores that way. Multispore is for noobs. PF is too, but thats beside the point.

Gee whiz, let me just fucking post how im manufacturing schedule one drugs on a site thats known to be swarming with FBI.

Yknow what.
No.
This is it.
Ive officially stopped caring. Get yourself locked up. I cant bring myself to lecture people like you anymore. There is no hope.

This is my first time. I didn't know about agar or liquid cultures when starting. I was more focused on getting the hang of how mushrooms grow before moving on to more advanced techniques and fucking up everything.

I really don't give a shit. I should have been arrested for plenty of things I've done worse than this. The fact that I haven't been yet is astounding.
I don't want to go to jail, but if I get caught, I'll accept whatever punishment I get. If you can do the time, don't do the crime.

>implying you cant buy spores online

Agar isn't a fucking advanced technique, its step 1

You know, it's possible that he is BEHIND 7 PROXIES.

Also, I doubt the FBI gives a shit about some dude growing shrooms. It's not the DEA, the FBI only starts giving a shit about drugs when you start making money. Why? It's non-taxable income, and we can't have that.

They're HERE looking for ACTUAL fuckwads, namely pedos.

VVVVVVVVVV
What he said as well. Spores are legal where I live for mycology purposes.

Well considering the fact that I had never grown mushrooms before, it's kind hard to figure out where step 1.
Don't be hostile, I was a noob and found roger rabbit's techniques and others for PF-Tek before finding out Agar.

VVVVVVVVVV
Again, like this guy said, I could just be doing this for research and not for profiting or consumption. I do have actual plans to try and grow portabellos or shitakes, haha.

I didn't make this thread to be criticized. Simply just to show my progress since I mad a thread last week showing mold. So I thought I would just make an update.
Any who, time to let this thread die. Love you all, even the jerks.
