Cowboy's Kick Ass Fruiting Method
Ok, Long
overdue for its own billing: Here is my fruiting method, It is easier, quicker,
efficient, and semi automatic. It provides proper moisture and temperature
without having to use hydrometers, humidity gauges, or thermometers. The fruiting
stage is a critical time in any grow project. This PROVEN method will save
you aggravation and frustration and will produce nice big psychoactive caps
for you to enjoy. Here it is:
1) Follow one of the methods above for germination and colonization
of mycelium (preferably PF TEK)
If you get
some kind of kit with mycelium syringes, the you would want to mix up the
substrate using the formula 3/4 c of water, 3/4 cup brown rice flour and 2
cups vermiculite. Then you would put the substrate in the jars, seal and boil
or pressure cook for 15 minutes, Half that for pressure cooking. Then let
the jars cool for 4-5 hours. Then open the lid and put your mycelium inside
and shut the lid. And put it in your closet. When you reach full colonization
of the cake then follow the procedure below.
2) Make sure you have the
following items on hand when it is time to fruit:
3) Once you have amassed the above Items, and it is nearing the time to take your cakes out of the jars, Assemble them according to this diagram or get a kit with 3 jars, and everything but the water and milkcrates here
From the
floor up: Steam Vaporizer filled with water and plugged in, two milkcrates
stacked vertically, the screen aquarium top (UP SIDE DOWN), the scotchbrite
layer, the cakes from the jar placed on the scotchbrite, and finally the Aquarium
(open end down)
4) You have now assembled the easiest fruiting method known to man,
just run the vaporizer 18 hours a day and let it get indirect sunlight early,
and direct sun later on and you are set. You will get Bigger and Better yields
using this method.

Obtaining Spores Is not very risky If you know who to buy from. Buying and Selling of spores for Psilocybe Mushrooms is not against the law (Except in California) Since they Contain No Psilocybin or Psilocin. In, Fact for Legalities Sake The Fungus is not truly illegal until fruiting. For more info on that subject see our law section.

Below are pictures of the Author's first grow experiment many years ago. They are not very good pictures but you can at least get an idea.
 |
These are colonized cakes from the side. As you can see the pure white mycelium has almost completely covered the cakes. Had a little trouble with getting them to hold together. |
 |
These are my colonized cakes from the top. You can see the scotchbrite and aquarium lid as mentioned in Cowboy's Kick Ass Fruiting Method in the grow section. |
 |
Here are the vermiculite jars colonizing with fungus this is about 2 days before the first cakes were removed. |

Who is this idiot?
It looks as if he has eaten entirely too many shrooms! |
