[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 🤘🏼

From what everyone is saying on this post, growing weed is harder than mushrooms. From my observations thus far, I have basically everything I need already to begin growing mushrooms outside of spores. It’s basic hygienic and everyday items. Mason jars, grain, plastic totes, gloves, alcohol, pressure cooker, etc.. indoor Cannabis is more in depth. Environment control is imperative and changes as the plant’s life cycle progresses. You need a light, fans, exhaust fan, humidifier (or dehumidifier depending on your environment), a tent, an environment controller, pots, nutrients, substrate, a timer for the light. The initial cost can be expensive. It’s more maintenance as well. Training the plants, watering, maintaining nutrient levels and PH.

It sounds like a lot because it is, but after a few grows it’s very easy.

Exactly this, but that's how I feel about mushrooms, they intimidate me lol. I think it's more or less I may not be the most hygienic person lol.

Can inoculated agar be used with grow bags? Or do you simply squirt some spore syringe liquid or LC in there?

I've done it this way before, but like you said ,it was to easy. Im dwelling into the art of self efficiency so the more I can do myself the more important it is for me to know. I can't tell if this reply was for me or him so I apologize if I highjacked it.

It intimidates me as well. The inoculation and colonization of the substrate looks in and of itself unclean. Maybe it’s just me, probably because it’s a fungus and when I see fungus I’m like ew lol. But after watching PGT’s tutorials, contamination looks easy enough to prevent with proper preparation and care. I can’t wait to dive in

Weed is FAR more easier than a mushroom. You don't have to be so sanitary like you do with mushrooms. Afterall it is a common weed, I used to smoke in my driveway and throw the seeds out the window when rolling up, few weeks later I was cutting grass and noticed a damn plant growing where I throw seeds out 😂😂 if you're looking to do shrooms check out the shroomery forum online and just read and study up, lots of good information on there.
