1 brick of coir = 650g (1.43 lbs) (you may have to chip off that much from the larger 11 lbs blocks sold by Home Depot)
If you’re doing it right a 1:4 spawn to substrate will take off. I’ve done as high as 7:1 without issue, but it takes longer to colonize.

Wonder where you could buy the spores?
Please add at least auto English subtitle for non English speakers like me!
Thank you for your en devours
It’s amazing how much info you crammed into one video. Thank you so much.
Requesting a follow up "crystals of the gods" video
was the finish weight wet or dry?. If it was dry Im jacking in my job and having a go!. Not really, I did acid in my 20s and left my ego on the far side of the doors.
Need more info on micro-dosing though.
All we need is that sniffer tech that they came up with for airports and a turpine dispenser on the subscribers end and we're in business.
Still smells like TV set
Thank you sharing, and thank you for taking the time and do all this hard work.
I have learned many new tricks. Thank you.
There's no reason to weigh them wet
Whats strain are the mushroom
Do you have an opinion on freeze drying the mushrooms?
Agar is made up of what material ? Also the spores online are in syringes. is it advisable to go for those? Are their outcomes good?
Great video 🙂
Since I have a electric stove which propane or electric burning should I get for my pressure cooker ? Buying a new stove isn't a option. Let me know please and thanks!
Awesome video. What I always thought was funny and never understood was How wild mushrooms can grow on wood rot and poop yet, when you grow them at home you mist sterilize everything.
Thank you aplenty for the great, if sleep-inducing vid.
So appreciative of the great quality tutorial, especially for the fastidious safety protocols throughout.
… until 51:45 when I gotta say my ass clenched the couch cushions so hard I am still trying to flatten them. You poked the substrate out of the mixer while your right hand had the finger ON THE TRIGGER! My Lawd! Please for the love of mycelium be safe amigo. Want you able to make more awesome content with both your good hands.
how much water should i put inside the pressure cooker ? for jars
Strain kinda looks like Burma
Did you mention how long the whole process took? I saw mentioned of how long individual steps took, and I guess I could rewatch and calculate.
I was planning to do my next grow almost exactly the same as this so I'm very glad I found this video. Having to do a stealth grow so the small totes seem like the way to go.
South Carolina was here. Jersey cow poop grows the best shroomz. Fun to Catfish while eating the fungi
great video man, i know everyone has "their way" and will eagerly point out whatever you did "wrong" LoL but you've certainly given me some insight into changing a few things for my next run….
p.s always love to see the blu-sing happen on harvest!! use psilocybe cubensis to treat ptsd & anhedonia, i did
Those cut "stumps" are blue af!!! I love it!!
You said you bring the pot to a boil then let it soak for an hour. You like to stir and then let it steep for another hour? so 2 hours total?
Would you give the spores a B+ rating? Great video.
Anyone want to guess how long until Youtube demonetizes this?
"Ignore the fact my lunch is in there and….."
I died right there.
Are these the same kind of mushrooms I find growing in a cattle pastures in manure? They look very similar.
Hi Gordo, great video, thanks so much! I've watched it twice now, and don't know if I somehow missed the grain to substrate ratio you use? Again thanks for an awesome resource!
What a conflicting video. I feel so excited and alive to learn so well how to produce my very own mushrooms in such high quantity. But yet listening to this guy's voice makes me want to kill myself and go to sleep. Nonetheless, its a fantastic video and ive watched the whole thing multiple times. Thank you Gordotek for making such a detailed explication of the entire process, this is the best mushroom video on youtube
