I was really wondering about the "pick before the veil breaks" thing. it was never clear whether that was supposed to maximize potency (somehow) or if it was to avoid dropping spores or something. thanks for the tip, that's really great to know

and good idea with the cell phone battery. I'd do the same if it wasn't in my house lol



it is said that they stop producing magic once the veil breaks so that it can focus on dropping the spores. also yeah, people dont like the mess lol (I left a a flush growing for 3 days and came back and EVERYTHING was black from spores lol) and what gets me is how spores end up on top of the tallest mushrooms lol.

looks like I got about 6.2 grams from my first flush (8 cakes), which seems extremely poor to me based on what I've read/seen around here :sad:

let's hope second flush does a little better. the good news is that's more than enough for me to try a medium dose for the first time today, so I'm excited about that! probably going to do it within the next hour or so

what a great experience! I mostly just laid around in the sun with my dog while listening to music, I think took her for like 6 walks lol. I ended up having an hour long conversation with a neighbor and it was pretty funny trying to take her seriously while it looked like her skin was melting. all in all it was a blast though. I haven't felt so good mentally in years. I talked to my mom afterwards and she mentioned how happy I sounded. I haven't seen her in 6 months and I know she wants to visit but they are tight on money, so I offered to pay to fly them down because I want to see them. she started crying on the phone lol

very curious how a high dosage would go now. looking forward to trying that in a few weeks!

Im so happy for you man, im glad you had a great experience, if you want to go to the next level(dimension) double you're dose :psychsplit:  I took a quarter about a month ago and it was out of this world.

Ooo... that certainly IS a small yield for that amount of cakes. That's just higher than what I get from only one. Did you dunk'n'roll them before placing in the fruiting chamber? And if you did, there's a chance that they were drowned from a constant liberal misting if that's the case. I've found that cakes like to be dry-ish during pinning (for a prolific pinset) except for the soaked casing in the "inverted dome shape" that the bottom of the jar produces which becomes the top once birthed. After some growth has taken hold to the rolled verm layer, it's good to mist and THEN fan to induce the loved evaporation.

I hope this is making sense. 2k primer and beer has me a wee bit delirious.

There are 96 cakes going in three TiT's (for cloning and experimental purposes) in which 10 of those have just produced 413 wet grams. I estimate that it'll be 40 grams cracker dry and that's how it has been since my first harvest a couple years ago. I would say that there is a bakers dozen of experiments in your future to improve your results.

But in the end, you produced a mushie or two which is great success in this nerve-wrecking hobby.

:seriousthumbsup:

yep, I did dunk and roll. I never quite felt comfortable that I was misting properly, so that could very well be it. I felt like I may have been doing it a little too much. but I also know people were really insistent on keeping the humidity extremely high, which is why I was doing it so much.

would you say that the perlite alone would generally take care of the humidity, and the misting is just for evaporation to trigger pinning? in other words, cut back severely on the misting once the pins appear? once my pins appeared I was misting the walls directly for humidity, but much less so over the cakes themselves. there were tons and tons of mushrooms growing, they just never got very large other than maybe 3 of them, which still were not very large. I wonder if I was just drowning everything.

either way, I haven't been misting the last 48 hours, so today I am going to dunk them and then see if I can get a better 2nd flush. maybe the second flush will be  good because the nutrients didn't get too used up the first time :tongue2:

thanks man! regardless of how the next flush goes, I have enough left for a pretty serious trip next time, so I will probably do that in a few weeks. I would like to rent a cabin in the mountains for the weekend to get out of this apartment complex and a little closer to nature. I was at one recently that was cheap ($70 a night!) and really beautiful so I'd like to go back there, and the owner specifically mentioned that if you want to be left alone during your stay they will not stop by at all, so I will tell him I am working :biggrin:

I'm especially interested in seeing some of the more visual effects. I had some very subtle ones that would come and go, but nothing wild. the effects I had were mostly in my thoughts and mood, like an extremely strong sense of euphoria and appreciation for my life and family. I must have looked really silly walking my dog around because I know I had a huge grin on my face the whole time.

oh, another thing re: low yield. as much as I would love to have gotten a massive harvest, I feel fortunate that I still managed to collect enough to try both a medium and high dosage. since this is my first time trying them, it's invaluable in deciding whether I want to invest in moving on  to bulk growing. if this had been a total failure and I had gotten 0, I would be back to square one with starting another PF grow. so all in all, I am not too upset! I just need to learn what went wrong.

lol my dog definitely picked up on it, just as she did the two times I tried LSD. but she seems want to be around me more when it happens. my living room was bathed in sunlight and I laid down in it and she plopped her head on top of my chest. I laid there petting her and thinking about her for like an hour. she was a stray I found on the street when she was just a puppy so we have a pretty tight bond :smile:

oh yeah, I forgot to ask! I mentioned before that I'm using natural lighting. the chamber is sitting on a table directly to the left of a window, whose blinds are generally kept closed. that was partially to limit the strength of the light coming in but also to be discreet. I am not using artificial lighting to do 12/12. would you guys recommend I do that instead?

Personally, I've never used natural lighting. It's always been 6500k tubes on a 12/12 but from what the forums say, indirect sunlight is fine.

second flush has begun! I bought a digital hygrometer and it has been really useful. as long as my humidity is good and the cakes have started pinning, is there any reason to do any more misting? I did administer some water directly to the verm base with a syringe but other than that I haven't sprayed at all lately. good idea?

you definetely want to mist daily(about twice a day or so) but not too heavily. you want to keep the cakes on the dryer side but not too dry. My schedule consisted of: sprayed for 30-50 sec. in the morning then fanning for about 60-90 sec. directly after, then I would fan for about 30 sec once every few hours or so, then I would spry n' fan again in the evening. Hope that helps man :thumbup:
