First Ever Harvest
#19350908 - 12/31/13 12:07 PM (10 years, 1 month ago) |

Hey folks, I just returned from a vacation over the holiday to get back at cultivating having some set backs (namely a set or syringes that only produced con tams on agar and grain even through silicone injection ports after PCing ) and a MS syringe from a local shop that turned the nocc points orange and snot like before myc growth got going.
I had set these contaminated jars aside - still not having produced anything for my efforts but undismayed. Learning lots and made some rookie mistakes but you gotta start somewhere. Meanwhile I started getting cluster headaches again (the reason why I am pursuing cultivation) but had not managed to produce any medicine for myself.
Well when I opened the container I had sealed the contaminated jars away in I found a dry neglected mushroom poking through the tinfoil layers on top of my glass tupperware cake and pins in several of the other jars that had managed to mostly colonize the contaminated cakes. I birthed them into a second SGFC and put it in a room on another floor of my house and I'll clean it and bleach the perlite after they finish but as I was eager to try the cluster busting method on these migraines I was ecstatic that these troopers had made it. Probably fruited BECAUSE of the damn contamination, poor widdo guys.
   
Today I harvested the two biggest of the in vitro pins as the veils were tearing and they were touching the cakes from growing in the jars. Better to harvest while they are still edible I think.
So here are the pics of my first failure turned accidental success. I promise I'll do better next time haha but for now this is enough medicine for 10 weeks and there's a few more fruits growing daily! Thanks for all the patient help!

P.S. I posted a trip report of my 4.49g acute treatment of a migraine over here. Not much to call home about from a recreational/psychonautical perspective but tried to document the affect on my headache in case it can help someone else.

you probably could have waited a bit longer before harvesting the ones in the last pics.

Yeah but they were touching an obviously contaminated part of the cakes and the snot stuff looked like it want to turn them funky colours so I pulled the plug. Will wait on the next guys for sure. Thanks!
EDIT: Also, based on my reading on here I also figured they contain pretty much all the actives they are going to get and as that is the medicine I am after, I figured they would be fine.

Little bit of pin porn for y'all. A couple of the in vitro pins aborted - caps turned blackish blue and they started to look a little weird so I harvested them. I have 2.2 g dried now which is medicine for my next 8 weeks not including these beauties still growing out.

Hey thanks man! It's amazing to watch these guys grow. I've got two of the first big shrooms that grew despite the conditions cloned and fuzzing up on agar right now that are going to be grown out as isolates mini-monotub style.
Here's an update pic!

The veil tore open on that guy leaning over in less than 20 minutes and the cap was open 2 hours later so I harvested it. The gills were facing up so it didn't seem ideal for taking a print but it may not have even been producing spores yet as there was no black or purple anywhere and the gills were light in colour.

Anyway, just wanted to share! Modest I know, but still exciting as a first grow.

Just wanted to say - good luck with the headaches 
After 4/7 days with a migraine for 7 odd years and no migraine for the past 5 months I am pretty sure that this herbal medicine is PRETTY FUCKING AMAZING

Thanks cronicr! You guys have been pretty inspiring, just trying to get my head into this hobby.

Thanks Skinty, it's been amazing meeting other people who have had success with these magic little guys treating such a range of things but especially fellow migraine sufferers and cluster heads! I'm going to be micro-dosing every 5 days for the foreseeable future, that's for certain. I'll keep updating my other thread as my dosing continues but so far I am 6 days headache free!
Man these things grow fast! It's kinda mind blowing. Check out the growth in 6 days on this guy:

Good stuff buddy. My general regime is to make sure I get a 1/2g dose every weekend into my system. Not to get high - purely medicinal.
That is of course on those weekends when I'm not tripping balls 
Has worked a treat so far

ah nice, fellas. good to see others talking therapy and not childish ball-trippin' (just kiddin,' there's nothing childish about expanded consciousness) although my approach is for anxiety and not headaches, the principle is the same.
i've been wondering how the tolerance phenomenon affects all this. i mean, i'm no stranger to tripping, and have been sorely disappointed at the waste of trying to trip hard twice in as many days. what can you, or anyone for that matter, say about how micro-dosing affects tolerance when the time comes to drop a macro dose? and then, how does a heavy dose affect the medicinal effects of the routine micro doses?
put another way, does dosing to trip reduce the effectiveness of dosing to medicate, if so, totally or to what degree? and how does micro-dosing for therapeutic purposes affect the dosage required for opening the third eye, and again to what degree?
regardless, glad to hear y'all are finding relief from your headaches.

Here's the boomer 11 hours later!!   

There's a lot of good info about micro-dosing on the cluster busters website - check out the method page here.
I think the tryptamine binds to the 5-HT receptors and remains bound for 3-5 days. They suggest micro-dosing to "shut the door" on vascular headaches every 5 days. After that 3-5 day period your physical tolerance should back to normal for a psychonautical journey. My experience with high temporary tolerance has always been: wait a week, eat an eighth.

Thanks man, keep it up! Nothing like taking control of your illness one plastic tub at a time!

Yeah, so amazing how much information I got in such a small amount of time. I went to my folks place over the holiday and found my copy of Stamets' The Mushroom Cultivator that I purchased at age 15 (12 years ago) with no idea that it would lead me eventually to treating my own illness. Ain't life grand?

I got a friend who suffers suicide class headaches as well. He's dosed over 50 times and says it's the only thing that will provide relief. One of the main reasons I am getting into this hobby is so I can supply him with clean safe and free medicine.

That's great man! Does he know about cluster busters? Try the micro-dosing method, it makes a single gram of dried fruits last for 4 weeks as prophylactic. Seems to be working for me.

You have my sincerest form of praise for being able to create your medicine and create a treatment. Awe-inspiring stuff !
