The benefits of growing bulk

So here are a couple of pics from my latest crop ops. This definitely is the reason why one would want to consider the option of investing a little more work into the great mushroom hobby. Enjoy the eye stimulation and don't forget to vote for AstroCat505 in the next hallucinogenic elections...

This pic makes me feel high!!! Overall I netted 12 ozs dry from the first flush. Second flush yielded me another 7 ozs. Definately $paid$ off in the end.

Very nice isolated bulk grow! Is it a good trip isolate? Lots of visuals? Mindfuck only? It's been awhile since I've seen pictures of a nice bulk grow like that as well.
...And you could even get another shelf (or two) in there!

In my experience it was nice balance of both worlds. Visualizing the walls crawl and the light rays separate into a spectrum of colors was very nice. But the trip was very heady too, the psilocybin gremlins def had me exploring all the corners of my mind.

The problem with having too many shelves is that it's hard to get adequate light ratios to my trays without having to run more fluorescent bulbs around my shroomshacks.

I have a very high sensitivity to mushies. And I don't really do them that often either. So usually an 8th and a bowl of highgrade and I'm set.

Well done Astro!!! Were those grown in that tent like that? There doesn't seem like a lot of room for circulation? Ive always kept 1/3 of my shelving open for air movement - but you have that sucker pretty well packed. Do you have pictures of your whole setup with the humidifier?
Best Regards Shaq

I have my greenhouses rigged up with a very low volume ventilation system. It stays running all the time and barely lets enough air trickle into the fc to provide enough circulation without drying out my casing layers. I'll try to get some pics of my system posted here soon.

WOW!That grow Boggles My MIND....
-------------------- He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool—shun him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a Student—teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep—wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows is wise—follow him.”.... Individual societies begin in harmonious adaptation to the environment and, like individuals, quickly get trapped into nonadaptive, artificial, repetitive sequences. When the individual's behavior and consciousness get hooked to a routine sequence of external actions, he is a dead robot, and it is time for him to die and be reborn. Time to "drop out," "turn on," and "tune in." Timothy Leary
