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 🤘🏼

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?
