A noob (me) with a stupid question
#14603031 - 06/12/11 08:44 PM (12 years, 7 months ago) |

Actually a couple of stupid questions. 1. what is the benefit of casing instead of birthing it as a cake and letting it be?
2. does anyone have experience with a cubensis strain called Oak Ridge?
3. does anyone know if mushroomprints.com is a good vendor?
I would greatly appreciate any input, thank you.

1 ... well, if you leave it as a cake instead of casing, more nutrients will go to fruit body production instead of repairing of mycelium. 2 ... all strains have the same cultivation parameters. 3 ... do not know them, use sponsored vendors here to achieve best service and quality.

1. no benefit to casing cakes 2. Oak Ridge is awesome 3. My only source for microscopy samples and live cultures is SporeWorks.

1: shit, i never crumble pf cakes. why do that when it is already ready to go? dunk, roll, mist, fan, dry, trip.
2: YEAH Oak Ridge! no personal experience, but all the kids on my block are raving (have raved) about it.
3: not sure, i use LilShopOfSpores (get the random grab bag, then buy 2, get a random cube free). and Out Grow for edible LC syringes.

Oak ridge is bomb. Mushroomprints.com is a good vendor, but not a vendor here, although they are in the links section. If you spawn your cakes to more substrate, you've got just that, more substrate, with more substrate comes more mushrooms

Well, B+ is up there of the most versatile and noob-friendly cubes, no?

Its the present "in" strain right now it seems,a lot of people bash it for its hit and miss potency but its just like any other cube,its hit or miss on potency unless you grow out isolates and choose a sub strain for potency.All cubes wether its Oak Ridge or B+ have the same growing perimeters so if B+ hits your fancy then go for it

ive noticed that too... a billion folks talking about "just noced up some B+ cakes". why even specify?
personally, im in love with malabar. i would marry those little guys if i could. never in my wildest dreams have i had such a hardy, flexible, forgiving mushroom. and the rebound time is spectacular; as low as one day after the redunk for new pins to pop up.
and the potency is nice too, lemon tek for life. (1.5g lemon tek, 1.5g just eaten. thats the way to the moon)

well sir, im very glad you asked (instead of using the search) so i can tell you all about it.

jeffloomis said: Kids version (so that EVERYONE can finally understand how this overly complicated procedure takes place):

take your 1/8 or whatever, by hand, grind that shit up into a cup of your choice. squeeze a lemon or two into it. let it sit for about 20 minutes-ish, but stir it every 5 minutes or so, then drink the whole bitch.
i like to lemon half my dose, and eat the other half regular about 45 minutes into the lemon trip. duration AND longevity.
lemon tek makes you trip WAY harder WAY faster, but not for as long as just eating them.
do that shit on an empty stomach. im sure you already knew that, if you've ever tripped before.
look here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/9279397/fpart/1/vc/1
oh, and when your feeling real good, eat "'crazy core' skittles" but not too many at the same time, cuz that shit will turn on you, i.e. you will drool all over yourself.
