Guide for small grow on a budget? - Lemmy.world

Hey y’all, been thinking about growing some mushies for awhile. I would like to know what your best setups would be on a budget around $200-$300 or less? Looking to grow once or twice, willing to learn on my own and not looking for pre made setups.

Look up uncle Ben’s tek
Bens meh… Make your own rice broke boy Tek into cvg tubs. Golden philly teacher YouTube videos good place to start.

Shoe box tek

I had a decent grow before with 20 gallon plastic containers. Forgot what “tek” it was it’s been a while, but if your interested I’ll look it up.

Make sure you have somewhere to post pictures and ask questions, I saw what I thought was mold on my Lion’s Mane substrate but it turned out to be part of the mycelium. I tossed the whole thing because I’m an idiot (though in fairness to myself I really, really can’t afford to get sick from infected mushrooms) 😞
When I get mold I will toss em the back yard. For some reason the open environment and sun helps. Still get fruits this way sometimes.
ITT: another reason for me to get a place that has a back yard!

I’d recommend trying any methods that don’t require a pressure cooker. Your best bet is uncle ben’s or broke boy tek.

This is a good place to start.

PF tek with shotgun fruiting chamber seems reasonable both price and yield wise.

Gonna second PF Tek it’s perfect for your usages. While Uncle Ben’s was something that worked for me it failed too often for me to really suggest it to someone who’s only going to be doing this every now and then. Glad people love it, but if you’re using spore syringes PF Tek is the way to go
