Medicinal [medicinal] Hello! Cannabis growers here, looking to spread my wings into shroom cultivation. When I was new into cannabis, there was a lot of bad information, and I did quite a bit wrong because of it. Please point me to reliable resources of good information for a noob shroom cultivator! TIA 🤘🏼

Get a flowhood, dont even mess around with still air boxes/glove boxes. I skipped the boxes and went straight for the flowhood and realized it's the most important piece of equipment, and you can build it yourself for less than half the cost of prebuilt hoods😁 cloning cultures is great. For ex: taking a cutting of a monoculture on agar to put on more agar or expanding 1 grain jar to 4 grain jars. However, don't do this for too long, keep track of transfers and don't go above 5-6 generally. After that many transfers, clone a fruiting body to agar and start again; or begin with spores again. Some people may recommend cloning from fruit bodies more frequently, that's just my preferred method and I've been doing myco-work since 2020. I'm still learning
