psychedelic mushroom Co2 grow bag

So I'm thinking of going back to co2 as I already have the tanks on hand and full, now a good friend of mine has recently shown and proven that the grow bags do in fact work in will aid in my co2 consumption, as dragging 300 pounds of tanks every month is no fun.

But I was thinking...

all these bags are are a peat moss that has been inject you with a mycelium in water. Well I have easy access to spores, and I definitely don't mind mushrooms haha

I guess I was wondering if anybody has tried this?

getting some big bags boiling and filtering the peat moss inside a pressure cooker then injecting mycelium and attaching a breathe tube?

contamination is my concern. Mold is the enemy, psychedelic or not...

any advice or experience would be appreciated!

I dont have the slightest clue if that would be productive but if you do decide to do it. Are you planning on having a fan to pull it out of the bag? IMO it might be easier to just stick to a typical grain/pf tek jar with a tyvek cover... seems like it would breath alot more not sure about cost effective. Or even spawn one of those into a large straw cake.... Youd probably have to have a smooth running perpetual mushroom grow also thats probably close to the same amount of work as lugging around tanks...

I was going to use breathing strips, they allow air out but not in just like the co 2 bags, it should be just as effective because that's all the co2 bags are, usually a slab of cocoa that's been inoculated, except they use portobellos and other strains, I'm not going to do it until I can afford a real meter... at the moment it's all guesswork but I will be giving it a try this summer... if I remember I'll write back with my results...

I was going to take big rockwool cubes, inject them with the Karo syrup and water, can sterilize then add spores.

any better ideas?

Just remember when dealing with mushrooms keep everything as clean as can be or it WILL get infected until your substrate is fully colonized.

My friend knows a guy in california working on making mushroom kits for growers to do just what your talking about. It should work just fine as long as the climate can stay right for the mushrooms to grow.

Mycelium loves dark cool enviorments while mushrooms like some light and warmth, not that it needs it but it triggers it to spawn.

I was thinking of a double bag approach, dark bagninsulated for first 2 months, letting out decent co2, then rip that off and clear bag underneath. Co2 would be 600 or so during myc growth then sykrocket when shrooms emerge. Use a micron filter to release air, but not bacteria, or breath strip.

Spores are easy to get, contamination isnt,... That's what worries me.

I dont freaking know....

But I do keep my cakes in a tote next to my dwc and its helping out, I know that... Problem is hid lighting dries up moisture on walls too fast. I have to put clear tote in a t shirt to lower lighting...

Anymore ideas?

These two things can safely coexist and give growers the best of both worlds...

Just needs to be fine tuned...

Ill be experimenting with it until it works or disaster strikes haha

Anyone else, feel free to chime in.

Also, a sealed bag, vaccum sealed with a breath strip or micron filter hole would allow safe co2 exit while keeping garbage inside.

Obviously boiling for several hours before you inoculate.

They already do this, they just don't sterilize and use "psychedelic" spores...

I think I'm going to buy a co2 bag and boil it for 4 hours, then inject with spores, Karo and water that was also sterilized.

It must work... Has too!

the most effective way i have found for me is moonshine

the mash buckets pump out pure co2 .........after they finish u get 1 gallon of 140 proof shine that will sell of my area 80 bucks ...total cost of to make and run 1 bucket is only 18 bucks profit of 62 for me plus the Co2 for the grow

the cost to start up and all is compartive to running 1 20lb tank plust a controller .........u need a stil but they are everywhere now u can go the legal and make fuel additive (i think u get tax break from this ) ........it works out for me and is a 2nd fun hobby........bonus i look like a bad ass now legal drink unless it is 151 or everclear i have no reaction to it ......like it is water to me

I have co2 tanks, best way to go, except filling once a month blows... They do deliver for $15 but they'll definitely may start to wonder where I'm using 2lbs of co2 a day...

Or am I being paranoid???

Justugh, thats not good, high tolerance, are you able to eat without a drink..?

dude i drink less then most ppl ........i have 6 planned holidays where i know i am going to drink .....now and then i take a shot because of some messed up thing or a toast to some epic good news..and as with meals i rather have ice tea if i do have beer no more then 3 normally 2 and half leave the rest for the dead (they pour it out) 230 lbs 6 foot under the legal math cops do i am 1 and half beers shy of the limit for buzzed (with me i am use to much stronger drinks store drinks/beer has less effect then average)

this is just a side effect of me .........my system adapted to what ever fairly fast and if i keep exposing myself to it the effects are like this ..........works with most chemicals .....i am bi polar so it might be a side effect of the lack of balance in the chemicals in my head

weed to me is medical it replaces all the other crazy ass pills and side effects that comes with them ..........i do not even get high like other ppl ....to me is normal it slows my mental activity so i am normal keeps me lvl .........if i smoke alot i mean alot like say i would take 6 daps in a row in 15 mins i would be sitting someplace with very tiny fine tools working on something allowing me to just focus on one thing (like hand filing gears)

i dont know shit about co2 but you could maybe build a shelf above the lights with a fan pointing down. what kind of cakes are you using?
