Lady Cannafan Shrooming Midwest Grow Kits & Spore Genetics - APE, Blue Meanie & More

I'm trying to figure this Kwh usage for the system.
This is what the Kill A Watt readings are this morning:
Kwh 14.10
Kwh time 164 (a little over 6 days)
Energy company cost per Kwh .159

Who is good at calculating my cost per day? :thanks:
Not me I hated school and every class except history class. CL🍀 Edit: I never got through pre-algebra so I’m not really good with math.
 
UPDATE: 11-2-23

I have inoculated the two brand new All-In-One bags that @Midwest Grow Kits sent to replace the one damaged in shipping. I was surprised there were two in there, but I am certainly happy about that. :thanks:

I started by sanitizing my gloves and the area, then carefully removing the tape that holds the top down on the bag. There is tape along the top and some around it as well. You have to look a little bit to find where you can grab a piece of it and gently pull it away.
Then I held the bags up by the top to allow air to flow in through the "vent" that is placed there. I'm not sure what that is called, but it draws some air in.

I used the oven method while working, and sanitized everything again, in addition to no air movement from fans or furnaces. The oven method is supposed to draw any lingering contaminants in the air upward and away from the work space through the action of warm air rising. That's the way I understand it......

After holding the bags up for a bit to allow the air in, I continued on by wiping down the area where the needle would go with a homemade alcohol pad, then shaking up the spore syringe, wiping down the needle, heating the needle and letting it cool a few seconds, and then injecting into the bag. I made sure that needle went all the way in and moved it a little injecting a little bit here and there. The instructions will tell you how many CC's to use, I don't have them right in front of me. It wasn't very much.
After the inoculation, I covered the hole from the needle with some surgical tape just as an extra measure of keeping out contaminants. Then into the grow house they went.






 
Looking good in there @Lady Cannafan

I have some nameless spores coming from @Spore Genetics in the next one or two days, and I will be using the Uncle Ben's Brown Rice, until I order some jars from @Midwest Grow Kits .

Eventually, learning how to make my own.

Be safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..
Thanks Tok! Just curious, what do you mean by "nameless" spores? Is it a surprise package of some kind that they advertise?

Did it say ouch 😣 when you stuck it? I’m just kidding and I think 🤔 you got it down now. So just a little more time and then the magic 🪄 happens. CL🍀

No ouch. I think I heard something like Bill Murray saying to Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors: "Oh yes....Oh yeah....Thank you...Thaaaaank yooooou" :rofl:

Greetings Lady Cannafly

If my calculations are correct its about $3.85/ day.

Well, I've got something wrong there. That's $115.00 per month. There is no way. LOL
I need to get my electric bill and see what the actual per kwh charge is. Hell, I'm under a hundred for the whole house right now. :rofl:
Maybe I'll just wait for the new bill and see what the change is, that kill a watt or something else is not accurate.
:thanks:

Edit: Here's what I did, the system is pulling about 19 watts of power on average. (the humidifier is set for every couple of hours)
I got a formula on the net:
(Watts of power x hours used per day) / 1,000 = Daily kilowatt-hour consumption.

19 watts x 24 hours / 1,000 = 0.456 kwh per day x 30 days = $13.68 per month.

That sounds a whole lot better! I should have put that watts of power in the original calculation.

On with the Shrooming!

Maybe its that new math....its been many many moons since I was in school. Lol
 
I did a check on everything in the shroom room, and everything looks great....except this one jar. This is one of the jars that was late and had the loose lid.
It looks like bad mold to me. I've put a tinfoil tight wrap on the top to prevent anything spreading in the air inside, and will watch it the next couple of days. If it gets worse, it's outta there.
Lesson learned, it says right off the bat from the box that lids may loosen during shipping and check them all for tightness. I missed this one.




 
Hey, @JoetheChro
Does that look contaminated to you too?
🍄
Hey LC how’s it going?

Unfortunately yes I’m in agreement with you.

It’s to be expected in a couple considering the number of jars you have. Don’t let it dishearten you, after a couple of flushes you’ll have so many shrooms you won’t know what to do with them 😂🙏🤘

:thanks: I'm okay with it. Don't want to see any more though. :eye-roll: I will be lucky to get any for myself with some friends who know what's coming. :rofl:

I have no idea what im looking at but I hope it all works out for you 👍
