Cloning from a non-trip shroom
    #21978921 - 07/22/15 04:30 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I suffered an anticlimax this week when my first ever batch of shrooms failed to deliver ANY trip at all (2.5g dried, tea).  That's one for "The Psychedelic Experience " board.

These were all grown using a MS syringe, Golden Teacher.

Anyway, one of the shrooms grew particularly quickly and large and I took the opportunity to try my first agar clone too (tissue -> Agar).  The plate is now actually looking so well developed, which I'm mighty proud of.

However given that the source-shroom has no potency, can I now assume that my clone will be same?  Question is do I continue to isolate my agar plate, or just ditch it and wait for my next spore batch?

What do you think?

You're taking a CLONE, its only right to assume you will get the same properties if you grow it out again.

Agreed in logic.  I was curious however to learn from experienced growers (EDIT: Cloners) if the potency is also a function of nurture (substrate, nutrition) rather than just pure nature/genetics.

Thanks nonetheless for your input.

Are you sure it's the mushrooms?  Perhaps you are just a hard-head, had a bit of tolerance from other substance(s) or medications, or ate food too soon before dosing or some other variable.

Before spending time and money to propagate another round of mushies, why not re-dose under different circumstances at 20% higher dosage and see?  Just a thought.

I will try it in that case... Not much to lose and worth the experiment for sure.

I'm a self-confessed lightweight.  A few puffs of skunk and I'm stoned as a nut; quite embarrasing really, and not entirely enjoyable for me.  But perhaps I will dose higher next time, and bypass the tea and just eat them fresh.  That should help eliminate possible points of processing failure.

I had my wife and kids out of the house, totally ready for my first ever shroom trip... epic fail!  My drying has been fine I'm sure.  I use a drying agent that works very quickly, and store them well.  My tea was pretty simply made, and I even ate down the soaked shrooms at the end in a final plea to the universe to trip me out. 

Anyway, I shall try again with the current clone and see what happens.  I've order new spores already, so will have a few options at hand.

Thank you all for the input.

Psilocybin is a different drug from THC.  Everybody's reactions to different drugs are different.  You may be a lightweight when consuming one drug and nonreactive to another.

It doesn't sound like you've really considered Nature Boy's response.  Are you taking any medications?  Did you fast before the dose?  Lots to consider, especially when getting a completely nonpsychactive experience when consuming 2.5g in a tea.

You've got plenty of time.  I'd recommend trying the dried fruits alone after fasting, not in a tea.  That will give you further data in your scientific pursuit.

There isn't any convincing evidence that anything other than genetics and treatment of the fruits after cultivation (quick drying) has anything to do with potency.  Lots of people have tried.

On the other hand, a cloning attempt is a good way to learn. :thumbup:

Good luck.

So no meds, and I had a small bowl of fruit an hour before.

Next time I'll try the dried fruits alone as you suggest, and will be sure to fast for say 6 hours prior.

I'll grow out this clone anyway, and also grow the new spores using exactly the same subs.  If nothing else, I now have a useful control dish.

Are you desiccant drying only? I highly recommend getting a dehydrator, use it at its max heat setting. Desiccant drying can work for small amounts, but its slow, and the more time the fruits are wet after picking the more potency loss there will be. It doesn't matter what drying agent you use, none compare to a dehydrator and they are all slow. Fan drying before desiccant drying would be better than just desiccant drying, but it is still sub par compared to dehydrator drying.

Also, don't be afraid to let them run in the dehydrator for another 4-8 hours after you think they are cracker dry.

There are non active mushrooms that bruise blue. You didn't see the actives, period.

Bruising blue is only a way to identify a POSSIBLY active mushroom, because that is a typical trait of the psychoactive mushrooms. But their are mushrooms that bruise blue that won't make you trip at all. Blueing is the flesh oxidising, like how the exposed inner flesh of an apple turns brown. If you look hard enough you will find people have had mushrooms that barely bruised and they tripped balls off them.

When are people going to get it through their heads that bruising does not indicate how potent a mushroom is?

... and if a mushroom bruise insanely blue and you think that is actives,
wouldn't that suggest that the mushroom has lost a lot of its actives?

never made much sense to me either :shrug:

They went in to a low heat fan assisted oven until they were dry to the touch.  Then they went into a box with a bottom of calcium sulphate for a few days.

probably never got completely dry then and you ate a lot of water weight.

Why not give it a chance? You have a nice agar plate going. You are proud of it. That is a good sign, IMHO. I bet it will reward you with a good trip, if you help it do what it obviously wants to. Of course, this is coming from a sentimental noob....

I'm sorry, but the most potent mushrooms are the ones with the most intense brusings. You will never find an azurescens, panaeolus or penis envy that doesn't bruise dark blue.

You are one of these noobs that RR mentions in that post.

Is a really deep blue bruising bolete gonna make you trip balls? Nope! It will probably poison you.

I've had PE from a MS grow that didn't bruise very dark, but they did bruise of course. They were the most intense ones I've had yet, a friend of mine couldn't handle them he flipped out and I wound up getting thrown through a few sheets of drywall trying to manage the situation. LoL! Good times!

You don't know what you're talking about.

I've had mushrooms bruise heavily, and they weren't potent at all. I've also had mushrooms bruise practically none whatsoever, and they were potent as fuck.
