Allright boys and girls... and tigers. Now on to the main event! One cake is fully colinized, so I set up the grow chamber for it... in about a week it'll be time to see if I did all right. Either way, the rest of the cakes will be fully colonized since my patience is directed towards the one thats growing now.

Man all this talk about not fruiting straight grains. I just did a few mini take out foil trays with 100% rgs. Nocced 100% rgs pint jars for spawn. Put a pint of soaked rgs in the the foil pans, lids on, covered in tinfoil and PCed. Spawned the pints to the pans, shoved them in gallon size ziploc bags 99.99% zipped closed so I could watch the spawn run. Thinly cased with perlite at 100% colonization, maybe like an 1/8" and put them in a sterilite tub with a few holes and poly as my FC.
Started with 6 pans, lost 1 after the first flush from trich (tossed it in the compost at first sign, FC was kind of tight anyway) and ended up pulling 6 ounces from 3 flushes (and just pulled another 163 wet grams from the last when I got back from vacation). It does take lots of misting and I had to water them almost like houseplants, grain as a bulk sub doesn't hold water for shit, but they can be fruited in straight grains. I guess it was like the Violet rgs tek, except I used slightly bigger containers for fruiting.
I also just made up some spawn bags with a coco/verm/poo bulk sub and a layer of rgs for inoculation. The plan is for the rgs to get colonized, then mix it in with the bulk, at 100% cut the top and fruit. Since the bulk was PCed, and I don't have to expose it to spawn the grain to it, I hope it cuts down on chance of a contam.

Same thing with me when I started. I wonder if anyone else experienced this. At the risk of sounding completely loony I took the dreams as confirmation of the prescence/intelligence/spirit of this wonderful fruit. I almost never remember my dreams which made it all the more striking. Kay, I'm off for a psych eval, catch you later.

Just remember. What you're feeling isn't permanent. The mushrooms won't last forever.
