I've been looking into growing mushrooms for months, probably closer to a year. Everybody else makes it seem so complicated, but you have eased my anxieties and I jumped right in after finding your channel. I'm now only a couple days away from fruiting my very first tub of mushrooms. I cannot thank you enough. I've found a new hobby 😁

[@jonathanwhite5640]

Enjoy

[@lavagelada]

Your only regret will be to not have started before my friend hahahaha Isn’t it so satisfying to grow your own mushies? ❤

[@maximusdesmund2072]

Ever since I saw your videos over a year ago still using this method today and it works great

I've watched a ton of videos on mycology. Some people are gifted teachers and you are most definitely one of them. Thank you for the videos teacher!

[@nikoashe711]

In all honestly you are THE trusted sensei on You Tube ,No bad infortions, Never .... Love your Reddit Channel too.Really ,when someone wants to go in micology, I said PGT . Thank you very much for taking the time for sharing real micology to the masses. I don't know you but I love you so much ! :)

I am starting my journey and I am so glad I found you a year ago when you first came to the scene, took me long enough but I a, finally starting and its mostly thanks to you!

[@verbaldavenci1]

I never could get it to work that way . Had to switch to the no touch mono tub option. Your teaching has helped to change my life in a huge way. Thank you 😊

[@noodles169]

Omg, this is the best and easiest explanation I've come across, other channels make it so complicated to follow

Perfect timing on this video! About to put my very first tubs into fruiting conditions in the next few days and you helped me get em there! Mucho Gracias

[@MrDillon45]

Well… how’s it going?

[@MrDillon45]

I’m about to put my very spawn bag into tubs! Lol

[@noschittsgiven6975]

I used bubble wrap tek and that helped to induce the pinning for me. Although not really doubling in size each day. I may need to look at upping the humidity or getting a Shroom grow light

[@chriswesler5658]

Very knowledgeable to the point vids!! Learning alot over here! Appreciate u PGT!

[@simsfamily298]

Some people I've seen never open the tub until fruiting , what works best for me is as soon as primordia(pins) I open the tub flip the lid and fan and mist 2 to 3 times a day , also use a window for light

[@winterashleygayle]

You are a great teacher! Thank you so much - your videos are gold 😍

[@thatoletlape]

Correction: a golden teacher! 😅

[@Kitopa]

You're the man! Thanks sensei, I've only known large totes, but i wanted to try the smaller tote, but i wasn't sure how or when to introduce the dubtub. From agar to fruit, you're so awesome at breaking it down so people can make it happen

[@jenniferg6818]

With the dub tubs, the top tub you can make tiny holes and leave them open as an alt mod. Works well.

[@jacksenreed7348]

I just began being interested and my interest grew quickly. I found some chantrelle mushrooms today. I want to grow my own. I wish so much that more videos described the type of mushroom they are growing 😊

Love your videos, explained so well! Do you have a shroom room tour with you setup, storage, flow hood etc?

[@karinmartinez6160]

Thanks to your videos, I finally have my first pins! I'm so excited! I have 7 shoeboxes going; 4 that I started on 11/25, and 3 that I started on 12/4. The 2 boxes that have pinned are from 12/4, and the other boxes have lots of white blobs, but no pins yet. All came from the same liquid culture that I put first to agar and then popcorn jars, then CVG in the shoeboxes. I don't see signs of contamination and all of them have a good strong mushroom smell. Will the other boxes eventually pin?

[@saint51]

You were the first man that helped me understand and took time to answer my questions!! Your a great man! And I’m growing killer fruits knock on work

[@FranTheNegro]

Love your content big hug from Argentina!!

[@myspam7353]

Love these videos. For anyone who has primordia without any pinning (for several days) I recommend adding a layer or vermiculite casing. I’ve done 6 tubs of GT, maintaining temp at avg 76 degrees F and RH of 99% and each of the 6 tubs didn’t pin until after the vermiculite dusting/layer. All of them began pinning within 2 days of the vermiculite. Food for thought.

[@myspam7353]

Also important to note that not all 6 were grown at the same time but the results were the same, following the dusting of vermiculite. I’m no professional, just providing my feedback/personal results.

[@ghost-carnage8964]

You didn't have enough evaporation bud.

[@myspam7353]

@@ghost-carnage8964 interesting. Even though the lids are flipped and 3x day fanning/ fine misting? Maybe I should try no lid?

[@ghost-carnage8964]

@@myspam7353 yeah I don't believe that bud.

[@ghost-carnage8964]

After I dunked for my second flush, nothing happened for a week and a half. Turned out I stuff the poly fill too tight. As soon as I loosened it I saw pins the very next day. But it's as loose as it can be in all holes, once this tub is done I'll make 2 extra holes.

Thank you for the video it has helped me understand more about mycology. I'm so greatful I have fruits finally 😅

First grow attempt, thought i lost my mycelium in spawn bag after last shake, was gonna let it brew a few more days but the dog got it, ripped it open etc. I went ahead to putting in substrate, expecting contam but none so far, got nice white coverage across the surface after a week. The box is warm and moist, not sure if i should mist it with condensation on the lid. Excited but patient.. we will see how it turns out, thanks for the info!

My first grow first flush, my mushrooms were incredibly hollow. I know that's how cubes are, but after my second flush at 65f, they beefed up. I'll always choose lower slower Temps instead of speed now.

[@TechGorilla1987]

Back in the day when The Shroomery was hip it was popular to put the shoe box in a larger tub that had a perlite/vermiculite mix in the bottom (isolated from the tub) to keep a fairly constant humidity level in the whole environment. How times have changed.

[@FLORIDAMANIAM-he2lz]

Called a double tub and its just making 1 big cake. The smaller tub serves no other use them to hold the substrate. It could sit on foil if it would hold together

[@michaelcarlson2245]

I did a casing layer of just pure coir no vermiculite in the casing layer and my tubs currently look EXACTLY like his at the beginning of the video

[@PhillyGoldenTeacher]

A casing layer is not really necessary. Many just do a psudo casing, adding a thin layer on top of the substrate after mixing your grains and substrate together to cover the exposed grains and to create a flat even surface. 🙏

I'VE GOT PINS!!! OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!! THEY"E SO PRETTY!! I kinda went overboard >__> so I've got fourteen 5lb blocks going of 5 different phenotypes in a 4x8 tent, with a 4" vivosun fan and a 5 disc HoH mister. Humidity controlled with an Inkbird. But I've never grown a mushroom before and it's SO much fun!!!

[@syberphish]

@@travisduggins oh man, I've got lions mane fruiting, pink oysters and pioppino. Its incredible how much they grow in just one day! I wish I could post pictures, its so exciting.

[@syberphish]

@@travisduggins So, when my blocks were nicely myceliated and white through and through, I put them to fruit but I had just heard a lot and didn't really know what I was doing. It took me a couple weeks to figure out that they need ~95% humidity AND regular fresh air exchange with high O2; not just one, then occasionally the other. Once I got the fan and the humidifier running automated and everything dialed in... everything just exploded in pins. The lions mane is balling up along the places I sliced the sides of the block, and the oysters are exploding out of the cuts as well. I'm amazed at how FAST they grow, it's incredible how much they can progress in just a day. I originally started the off trying to grow in-vitro (inside the bags) and it just wasn't working out for some reason. I ended up wrapping them tight, taping and slicing while getting a good inch or so into the substrate. When they're done in the bag (hoodie tek style) I'm really not sure what's supposed to start the growth.

It's winter in the NW so I keep my house at 68 degrees but not everywhere is 68 degrees. Mostly it is 66 degrees during the day and 64 degrees at night. I have tried using a seedling heating pad to keep the temperature at 72 degrees but I have had no success with fruiting. Any advice? I am tired of dealing with the side effects of SSRIs and want a natural solution with microdosing. Also, what about humidy and lighting levels?
