Was just curious if there would be any interest in colonized substrates or spawn bags, from which one is able to grow shrooms at home.
I'm currently just colonizing a 45 ltr tub, happened to check online and a tiny plastic tub the size you would get from a takeaway, already colonized and ready to fruit is $35 bucks + delivery. I could do them for far less to the UK if there was a market.
So, I've got a few tubs on the go, and would be willing to send one to someone as a freebie, just to test viability for posting in future, as well as what sort of success can be achieved, the tubs actually have a couple of tiny shrooms developing, so they will grow.
All I ask is for feedback. I'll DM and see if anyone is game.
Hopefully I'll be sample this batch in a few days, my big tub is shrooming up nicely.
Hey, yeah they have grown well, picked a few that had broken the veil last night and ate them raw, circa 25 Grams. Was a lovely experience, beautiful waves of energy flowing through me, but when I went to bed and stuck some music on (The Doors) things really came to life, I marvelled at how something I've grown could create such an amazing experience. At one point the muscles in my ass cheeks were twitching in time to the beat of the music, madness.
Definitely a market for these I’d try them in an instant. DM away bro I’d happily give a honest review. Either way I want to try them lol. Got well over 100 trip experience. Though smee seems like the master.
I think these would go down a treat on this site =) look forward to seeing how things go! its upside down ... just like everyone else will be after they get a few mushies on board haha
Yeah, whole grain cased cakes, wanted to give it a try, had spare grains and plenty little round tubs, but couldn't be arsed running out for another mono to bulk spawn. So stuck them in there with some coir, was hoping the added surface areas would maybe be fruitful. And it's looking like it could be a decent alternative.
Cured shrooms by far the easiest to get to folk, but nothing better than getting a few flushes yourself for the same price, or more likely cheaper than 7G of dried.
I'll have a look into it over the next couple of weeks and see what I could do to offer folk a cheap way to get a decent amount of product for less $.
Yeah that's a point, I've only had one grain bag failure in all my time. However the odds on them getting contaminated between my house and the next persons probably pretty good.
I started off with a spore vial, colonized literally a shit ton of grain, also ran some BRF cakes, which work great but dont get the big time numbers that a bulk tub does. Grain bags are good as they can keep for months in a cool dark place without pinning, to use whenever you want, and they are huge bags, one bag enough to colonise a full 45 ltr mono with coir and verm.
Can also cut the bag open soak the grains overnight while you pasteurise some coir to case the grains after draining and boom boom...cubes dont even need cased, they’ll pin and grow straight from grain
I tried to grow some of these after buying a spore syringe just before xmas as a little blast from the past - some weird ass looking things grew out of that grow kit and I didn't dare take them! haha Good luck with it and I will keep an eye out if any come up.
Bulk even though its the term used it is also kinda of misleading term as it is only acting as water source...yield is dependent on the amount colonised grain firstly then genetics etc but im basically saying adding more and more bulk substrate doesn't mean bulkier yields
When you say 45lt that confuses me a bit cause well obviously first you and i know that doesn't literally translate to 45lt of bulk spawn
You may know this already...but it’s surely good reading for others who are interested
Could you give an estimate of the colonised spawn bag volume and the ratio of the bulk substrate you would use in your 45ltr mono and at what approximate depth would the finally laid substrate be?
