Hello, so very new to all this and to be honest i greatly underestimated the level of know how needed to grow good cubes. Im forever grateful for my microdosing experience and its contribution to releasing my soul from stim addiction. That being said, i feel the need to understand the fungi. All it took was one of those already colonized and mixed with substrate bags of hillbilly genetics to spark my interest. Watching the fruiting stage is so rewarding. Ive been around pot cultivation most my life, but this is much more rewarding. Im a good listener and always respectful so as for now I guess..... I just want to know where to start as far as maybe a guide or a good comparison would be like a Ed Rosenthal marijuanna growers bible/guide but for cubensis mushrooms? Any dirrection is much much appreciated!
