First flush... B+
    #18938858 - 10/06/13 04:00 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hi everyone!

I came here about a month ago looking for some advice on mushroom cultivation and trying to understand a bit more about it. I suffer from cluster headaches so I'm doing this for more than just a trip, but the trip idea is also very appealing to me! :laugh:

Anyway, I just wanted to share my images and see if I could perhaps get some feedback. This was my first attempt and I think a few of these are almost ready to be picked!

Day 1:


Day 4:


Day 7:


Day 9:


Day 10 (today):


There seems to be so many of them but the heads are quite small, my understanding is that I pick them when the bottom of the head releases itself from the stem? Presumably I'd also have to be extremely careful since are just so many of them and so close together?!

Well after a bit more reading I think they are ready, so I just picked them and here they are! - Seems like a lot less now that I'm actually drying them and they're not really as big I had hoped. Can anyone give me some tips to get them bigger with the second flush? I'm also quite curious just how much dry weight all this will make, I think it was only about 50g total... assuming I'm left with 10% of that I'll barely have enough for two mild trips?! :frown:

Size and potency is for the most part dependent on genetics. You could try cloning or isolating from one of the larger fruits in the hopes of having a nicer grow next time around. It looks like you picked some of those fruits a little too early, but either way good job :thumbup: I hope my first grow goes nearly as well.

If you want large caps and dense robust stipes then you need lots of FAE. That kit you are using is not going to provide adequate FAE which is why you have a ton of skinny shrooms with small caps. I like my mushies to look like this :awesomenod: Next time ditch the kit and start researching on these boards there is tons of good info :super:

Nice work Juln
As said before more Fresh Air Exchange next time :wink:

So you suffer from Cluster headaches?
I take shrooms for fun and for my chronic depression and
they help so much :laugh:
You're going to love tripping on Cubensis,
have you ever tripped before??

Hi guys, many thanks for your comments and suggestions, that image from Pastywhyte is incredible! I will certainly invest some more time into research, this was merely a step in to see if it works for me and if I will enjoy it. :smile:

This will be my first trip, I am just drying the shrooms in my fan now and will hopefully have a go on Friday or Saturday next week! :laugh:

Excellent work :thumbup:

I know a cube is a cube but my "B+" grow has produced the strongest cubes I've ever had and thats over 20 years eating shrooms across multiple continents :grin::lol:

Namaste,
Try eating them fresh. They are always better fresh IME.

Well I had about 6 and to be honest I'm not feeling much. :frown:

Perhaps I had too much to eat earlier. Certainly I can feel an upset stomach though! XD

Will eat a few more bigger ones in the next 15-20 minutes. :tongue2:

How much weight did you eat?    doesn't say much.  One can eat 20 tiny shrooms or 1 huge shroom and equal each other.

Big Gulps!  Alright!  Well,  See ya later!
And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!

I'd say maybe 5g from out of my last image. I do feel a little different but I'm quite sure I could eat a few more, the only thing is I don't seem to have many left! How many decent trips does one normally get from a flush?

Theres no answer for this.

Just keep harvesting and drying.

So I ended up chopping the rest of them to little bits and making a tea from them. The water was dark blue/grey, almost black in colour and the taste was rather strange but not as bad as Marmite I guess. The effect is amazing. I feel relaxed and pleasant. I will definitely be doing this again and hopefully with much more potent shrooms! Would love to have hallucinated but supposedly this trip awaits another day. :laugh:

Sort of reminds me of doing shrroms with one of my best buddies. We can be sat there crying with laughter for 2 hours and he'll be like "yeh these shrooms ain't that good my vision is completely normal" and I say "ffs stop worrying about "tripping" and realise we've just been having the best time ever for hours!"

"tripping" is not just about "hallucinating"

:laugh::thumbup:

It's all a matter of how much you eat.
"Tripping" on cubes takes a good dose, I would say at least 5g dry.
You can feel mighty good on lower doses too, but they got more to offer
then just laughter and some visual distortion if you really wanna go there.

Yes but whatever dose you take there's no point "searching" for something that isn't happening...just have fun with what you got :cool::thumbup:

Sounds like you only achieved a lvl 1-2....:psychsplit: Did you dry them? Or eat fresh?

wow nice work! i hope my first attempt goes just as well!

and as far as eating them goes, my experience has been like this..

When i want to trip with friends and have a good time just enjoying the day, ill eat anywhere from 1g-5g dry.

But when i want to go on an adventure.. a REAL adventure. like the kind where you literally lose track of time and space, while feeling like a moonman walking sideways on purple earth.. well that takes a special dose. ive noticed 7g is great for strong, but not TOO strong visuals, with a lot of introspective thoughts. but 14g.. now THAT is a trip.

i dont recommend doses like that. but as a once in a lifetime event, its worth it. although sometimes i feel like you never truly come back from a trip like that.. (in the way you think anyway)

anywho, just be safe, and have fun!
