I’ve been researching this entire subject of producing medicinal fungi...All the forum’s and techniques make the whole process rather frightening and intimidating..You really take the anxiety out of the entire process. I believe it’s your calming voice and the entire philosophy of keeping it simple - I was literally freaking out about the sanitation and contamination..You have really made me sleep better at night knowing that I can do this without going all out with fans and heat mats etc.Thanks PGT

[@marcusjay8103]

I was totally the same, it seemed crazy intimating and looked like it was gonna cost some serious cash to get a professional set up well,..... Set up! 🤦 😂 Another great channel is willy myco! He puts out some amazing stuff and start-finish fukl builds. Love the 40-90min content as it really dives deep into what seems like the most basic part of a subject but that's kinds what you are wanting when trying to learn something. Such a great addictive hobby, mushrooms and DMT are both super fun medicine you can make at home, huge fan (no pun intended) of dehydrating one of the finished tubs, grinding into a fine powder and making both 1g capsules along with microdosing capsules for everyday use. Also love taking the same powdered 'magic dust' and using it for edibles, chocolate bars, sweets, even savoury edibles. Same way when extracting DMT, so much fun stuff to do after you have your pure crystal (or even with a jungle extraction, I'm actually quite partial to the full spectrum/Range of alkaloids over the multi wash white crystal.. I find a jungle run offers more to it. Nicer vibe, amazing visuals and just much MUCH deeper experience) to do other stuff. I love batch making Vape carts with DMT too, get to REALLY play around with adding flavouring to your base liquid (just like a standard PG/VG nicotine vape cart) and can really get creative with it and express yourself. Same with making changa! Not only is it the easiest way to experience DMT (IMO) but obviously you also get that longer experience over just smoking the DMT crystal on its own. Again! Just like cooking with powdered mushrooms and making the carts, Changa allows you freedom while creating your own mix. There are SOOOO many herbs/botanicals listed within HUGE cookbooks specifically just for making changa. Always exciting and fun to be able to know everything listed is fully safe so you get the benefit of being able to play 'BOTANICAL MIXOLOGIST', Grab a nice blank book or even a notes app and weigh/record everything you are doing (so you know exactly what you added that fooked it up WHEN you do... Not if....always WHEN 😉) and when you find something that bangs....well keep that recipe secret as everyone will want it 🤐 Happy growing/extracting brother! Namaste 🙏

Ideally if you have a perfect substrate you should not need to mist or fan at all. For the second flush I usually dunk the cake. That's all. First, holes with no fae then fill them with cotton balls for air exchange.

Why use an upside down tub on one and an upside down lid on the other? (Disclaimer- failed science in school. all science) Thanks for simplifying. Day 2 of 24/7 youtubes. Sticking with yours. now about those lids.......

[@sirving1297]

Love the videos. I will say that flipping another tub on top of a fruiting tub and leaving a gap where air can come in will lead to contamination more than 90% of the time if you are in a sub tropical climate with a lot of natural mold and fungal spores in the air all the time. In the south a loaf of bread on the counter in a normal sealed bread bag will start growing mold in under a week. In areas like this you really just need a bigger tub with holes drilled and filled with polyfil gor air exchange, or an aquarium pump with some polyfil stuffed in the tubing pumping the fresh air into the tub.

[@hunterleal8878]

Can you use micropore tape to cover the holes on the dub tubs?

[@kylediverson3197]

@@hunterleal8878 yes

[@BenJehovah6969]

You do realize they make bread in sanitary but not sterile environments so the mold spores on your bread were already there when you bout it right? Thats why you colonize your mycelium in a sterile environment so that when you do expose it to air it has the ability to defend itself from those spores. Extra precaution doesn't hurt, but all that is unnecessary, and in my opinion overkill.

[@knowbody9679]

Beautiful tubs!! I personally love no touch monotubs. The mushrooms do everything by themselves as long as you watered it correctly with your bulk.

[@tommck2386]

What about a production growkit that suggests leaving it covered to leave the cake in CO2 until the first pins appear. Only then fanning?

[@Slashblend]

Your mods in discord have an issue with banning. I’ve watched all your videos, donated bitcoin to you, and without a single warning I was banned by inertia for having a conversation in the grow channel with two other people when nobody else was chatting for a while. You won’t be able to have a healthy community with the mod selection you have, they are way to aggressive and although I thank you for your info and videos I will not be returning and I will not be recommending anyone go to your discord.

[@lilyshighschooljournal4207]

Great videos @phillyGoldenteacher ! Do you have any videos about the harvesting and drying stage?

[@davidrosa3182]

This might sound like an odd question. When you bulk spawn, is there a limit to how large a bulk spawn can be? Or perhaps a point where it may never be too large but beyond a certain size the chances for failure skyrocket. I hope that made sense

[@birddog9002]

The bigger it is longer it takes to colonize longer it has a chance of contam

Thank you for showing this. I shredded my brf cakes to bulk 5 days ago and seeing what looks like the beginning of the tub of the left.

"the less you do with it the better" - so true. had a lot of failed shoeboxes that i kept checking on. now i'm using clear pretzel jars and leaving them alone, and suddenly i've got great results! hands off!

[@KreamMan2K]

Im worried i've fucked mine by doing that. It's only day 5 but as it's my first experiment im excited but no signs of fruiting just yet. Ive started the fruiting process straight after the mycelium colonisation though, do you think i messed it up by now waiting the 10 days before creating fruiting conditions??

[@musluvmusic]

Where can I get some spores

[@brett2themax]

What im finding is if you spawn to bulk and case then go straight into FC i get a better canopy and a more even flush. This has only been the result of 2 tubs I tried it on with MSS insulation.

Hi PGT, your videos are great, thank you. May I ask about the water spray? Do you use just tap water, and does that cause a risk of contamination? And when you do spray, and you refilling the spray bottle with fresh water, so it’s not sitting in the spray bottle for several days? Many thanks.

[@glennh3977]

So you don’t drill holes in the side of the tub and pack them with polyfil like I see everybody else do!? Just crack the lid, mist with water and occasional fanning?

[@AppaStappa]

Can you make a video talking about ideal temps? Like what temps you prefer to colonize and fruit?

[@k.l.5940]

RR said a lot about this. Here is an example: "I have not used an 'incubation chamber' in several years. If you maintain your house at normal indoor temperatures, your projects will do just fine. There is certainly no need to incubate jars over 80F, and to do so raises contaminant risks considerably. The inside of your jars will be 3 to 4 degrees warmer than the surrounding air. If you heat a chamber up to 86, your jars will be near 90, and much more likely to contaminate. I colonize on a bookshelf in a spare bedroom, and no attempt is taken to prevent the jars from receiving normal room lighting. I then fruit in a small greenhouse type enclosure with no heat applied during the growing process. If it's deep winter and your room is a bit cold, run a small space heater to heat the entire room to 75 or so. That temperature will work just fine for colonization, as well as fruiting. There's no need to make growing any harder than it already is. Keep it simple."
