A Magical Journey
    #21992777 - 07/24/15 09:46 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Alright folks, here's my story. I've been seeking the great fungus on and off for over ten years. No one ever had them in high school. Even after I was never able to find that guy who knew a guy that had them. I didn't think much more about it and never really perused it.

I love Podcasts. Ari Shaffir, the comedian, has a show The Skeptic Tank. He always goes on about the positive benefits of mushrooms. So do many other comics like Joe Rogan as well as the natural experiences including isolation tanks and meditation. I've been in a personal funk for a long time now. In finally cumming out of it now but a part of me is still in that hole. I've heard it be described as bit of a reset button for your mind. Helping to look at yourself in a different way. By no means do I believe this to be a cure all but I do think this would be a very positive thing to peruse. There is a holiday cumming up in August called Shroomfest. You fine folks probably celebrate it. This was to be my first trip.

I smoke pot so I asked my dude if he could help. Of course he couldn't. I asked around. Nothing. I actually went on craigslist in desperation. I don't even know what I was thinking. The first thing that popped up on google was this thread http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18348735/fpart/all/vc/1

Of course! I'm a DIY kind of guy. I'll do it myself. I did a ton of research. Watch the famous PF Tec vids. Read up on everything. Ordered my spores. Got my gear and started inoculating my jars. Right now I'm in the colonization faze and its pretty exciting! 5 out of my 6 jars are starting to show promising signs of growth in the 5 or 6 days since inoculation. I'm also have a bit of a deadline. The goal is to have edible fruits by Shroomfest on August 29th. I'll post progress reports for myself and anyone interested in my magical journey. I'll post pics when I have some good ones to post as well as document my first trip and experience.

Peruse?  cumming?

You should surely have mushrooms by the 29th. Good luck.

I really appreciate that buddy. I listen to all of those shows. I think you understand completely why I'm embarking on this journey and I'm glad to have you along for the ride. Ari Is like shroom Jesus. Spreading the word of the great fungus. My goal is to make enough to make prints on my bike and clothes and ride through parks and woods spreading the spores like a Johnny Appleseed deciple. I'm a big bike enthusiast...wait, not those people. Allot of cyclists are arrogant rode hogs d-bags that don't follow the traffic laws. I think there is even a massive thread dedicated to cyclist hate. Fuck those people! They give us a bad name...but I'm rambling now. Glad to have your support.

Yeah I didn't really think it would work in the woods but I still like that romantic idea of spore spreading. I do live in humid Long Island NY but even then its probably not ideal.

Oh buddy! Me and my Dad used to fish ALL the time when I was a kid. 2 days ago we got back into it. I caught 3 little snappers today in a little canal in a rich neighborhood. The people across the canal were blasting horrible progressive jazz music that made me feel like I was fishing in a elevator. Then the woman called the cops on us...We were there 20 mins over the allowed time to fish. The cops called her horrible and apologized multiple times as they watched me pack up my gear in my backpack. As I rode away on my bike I yelled across the water at that woman sitting on her lawn chair "You folks have a good night". Like thanks for ruining our time bitch. I'm going back there at 3 in the morning to spite her. People like that really grind my gears.

Haha that's great. I'm going out for flounder in a few weeks. I'm thinking about eating ALLOT of pot for the trip. I've never done shrooms but I've eaten allot of pot before and I assume its a similar experience to a mild mushroom dose.

A cube trip is closer to DMT than pot.

I think they're totally different feelings. Love both of them, but I wouldn't even compare the two really.

How's them jars looking?

Hmm ok. I've had more then one person say that. Knowing its completely different makes me even more excited about the experience. Also the jars are cumming along just fine. #6 still hasn't started to colonize though. Late bloomer I suppose. I'm about to post a pic. Check it out.

A Magical Journey: Colonization [Re: Tarrnack]
    #21997694 - 07/25/15 11:05 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Colonization



Alright looks like I'm off to a good start. Its been 7 days since I inoculated my first jars. #6 still hasn't shown signs of growth. Its only a matter of time I suppose. Some are further along then others but they still look strong. Its pretty cool.

a mushroom trip will involve moving patterns that form on just about everything - its very similar to the dreaming computer images from google:



however, the actual body sensation is much, much, much more intense than pot. We're talking a different ballpark here. You will feel so high, being high on pot will seem like sobriety. You shouldn't expect to be able to work or even do simple tasks like playing video games or strumming a guiter - you will lose pretty much all dexterity while you are tripping. However, you will have enough motor control to do things like walk around, make simple food, go to the bathroom, etc.

it will also change the way you think. you will probably end up at some point getting really introspective about your life choices - which can be a good thing. I've also experienced mild amnesia, where I couldn't remember anything about my person except my g/f's name and where I worked - but that was only during my most intense trip ever.

it will also last 4-8 hours, so it can become an ordeal for some people to be so fucked up for so long.

you probably won't want to trip again for awhile. the trip will stay with you for a long time so you won't need repeated trips. its not uncommon to feel like you've seriously changed your person/mind immediately following your first trip - that is you will feel reborn - see the world through a new set of eyes.

Hey Tar...I came across your post and thought I would send you a note of encouragement and good vibes.  I have a similar story it seems.  I have fought severe anxiety and "some" depression for most of my life but really noticed it becoming daily and bad over the last 10 years.  Long story short I am an avid listener of Joe Rogan as well.  That guy has some great ideas. Also, check out Aubry Marcus' podcast.  He's a friend of Rogan's and runs a fitness company in Austin called Onnit.  He's a very positive guy when it comes to the mind/body connection.

Anyway, I have only had the opportunity to use psilocybin 3 times...the 1st being the most "transformative" for me.  So if you have any questions from the perspective of a newbie, I'm happy to try and help.  I have since been looking into combining meditation, working out and Bikram yoga to fight my anxiety as well.  And for the 1st time in a long time I think all of these things combined are/will help me feel good again.  I am also a newbie to cultivating mushrooms.  I have everything I need...just waiting on the spores to arrive.  Well good luck to you with your grow and your journey.  As long as you keep moving forward things will get better.

Well I smoke quite a bit of pot so my being high is already like sobriety

:rainingjoints:

That sounds pretty hardcore, a little more then I expected. Reminds me of the ether binge from Fear and Loathing. I'm also reminded of Dave Chappelle's bit about how he took some and thought it would be similar to a background drug like pot. I still plan on doing a few things. Ride my bike, go fishing, and try to survive the first cycle in the arcade game Donkey Kong. I'll try my best but from what you have said I looks like it will be quite the challenge.

Glad you reached out to me buddy. I really appreciate your encouragement. Anxiety and depression is something allot of us are hurt by. I've only now just cumming out of it. The podcasts helped me allot with my attitude. I was sick of being a miserable cynic that cant embrace the good in things in life.  Being eaten up by my past and potential future (or lack there of). My mom got real sick and almost died of a infection caused by a abscess in her intestine. I got good at numbing my emotions for a long time and it got to the point where I couldn't feel anything. I almost got into a car accident and realized I felt no fear and no emotion. I entertained the thought of killing myself all the time. Nothing gave me enjoyment anymore. Podcasts gave me a new window to look at the world from my dark introspective home in my mind. In a way it saved my life.

It's been like a year since I started moving forward. There is still a part of myself that's still in that dark room. I feel like mushrooms can be the literal and figurative key to my personal progress. I ride my bike everyday, I started fishing again, I do yoga...I quit smoking cigarettes (I used to smoke like 2 packs a day on top of pot), don't really drink anymore...I do smoke more pot then I've ever before...that's a problem. I smoke like a 8th a day at least. A side effect form quitting cigs I guess...but other then that I'm on the track to a better place. It is possible. No matter how much you think it isn't a option you can change the way your thinking.

I fully support your growing adventures and your personal path to bettering yourself. Best of luck to you. I'd be interested in reading about your progress.

Donkey kong will probably have you in stitches!  One of the hardest laughs I have ever had was playing pinball on shrooms.  I still talk/reminisce about it with my buddy some 15 yrs later...  I am a super avid fisherman, but have never fished on shrooms.  to much motor control required, and i'm not sure how I would handle the fish if I caught one.

Best of luck to you!

One of the first big lake trouts I caught I was peaking on acid.. I'm still not sure if it was a good time or if I'm traumatized for life.

I had a great time fishing last year around quadra and cortez too, ugly looking fish though I'll stick to my rainbows and lakers.

I wish you luck on your journey OP - even though your use of 'peruse' and 'cumming' is kind of odd!

A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it.

A passer-by remarked, "That guy must have been a very avid fisherman.”

"Oh, he still is," remarked one of the mourners. "As a matter of fact, he's headed off to the lake as soon as we bury his wife.”

Haha Donkey Kong is hard as hell if your going for points. Its one of the hardest. I play it semi competitively and have trained for many years trying to master the game. On shrooms I probably wont make it past the first barrel board. I'm gonna try as hard as I can though! I will most likely record it and put it on this thread. Yeah. I'll definitely do that. Stay tuned for failure!

I love pinball as well. I'm not a fresh water fisherman much at all. I live on Long Island so its mostly salt water. I may actually go out in a little bit for a late night fresh water fishing trip.

its interesting.  sometimes shrooms can give you superpowers with videogames and things like that.  for some reason it can seem in slow motion and you dominate.  same with pinball.  or foosball.  I am unstoppable in foosball on shrooms or acid.  it is like the ball is in slow motion, and i see this trail and it is just so easy. not nearly as good when i'm sober.

I fish very similar saltwater not too far from you.  Like I said, it would be tough, but make a go of it, I'm sure you would have a blast.  try to have everything set up beforehand. I don't think you could tie a knot in fishing line while tripping.

Thats interesting. Ill have to try Quake 3 arena now  :laser: 

I went fishing this morning. It was mainly me trying to find a spot to fish. It stunk. I was trying to fish near Twin Lakes in Wantaugh. Ended up feeding a bunch of ducks my protein bar.

Colonization - 2nd update 12th day of colonization [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22018784 - 07/30/15 08:38 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Jars are looking good so far. This is what there looking like on day 12.





Real strong looking stringy mycelium growth.





Still jar #6 lies dormant. I have no Idea why it didn't take.




I plan on injecting it with some Cambodian spores I'm using for a small future side project. I'll post updates as they develop.

Good job! But next time, I'd get the half pint WIDE mouth jars. The cakes will colonize faster as well as be easier to birth once 100% colonized.

Yup. I know allot more now then when I inoculated those jars :p

I wonder if I could even cut them in half and increase the surface area for fruiting.

They normally don't' fully colonize the whole substrate in those jars.

Don't cut them in half.

Really? So at some point will the growth slow to a crawl and I'll end up brushing off the excess substrate?

It may colonize completely or stall out, depending on the strength of the mycelium. What tek did you follow that told you to use those jars?

A New Journey?! [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22023769 - 07/31/15 10:05 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Yesterday I got a oz of Bubble-Gum. Its a extremely fresh and powerful hybrid strain. Surprisingly it tastes like bubble gum...I don't understand... :pipesmoke: 

I was shocked they had a few seeds in the buds. I have 7 in a bag with a moist paper towel...possibly the start of another magical journey...? I'll keep you fine folks posted.

What? Lol, I can drive on shrooms. Not that I would ever recommend this but you're definitely fine to go to the bathroom, eat, make food and walk around. I trip and go to the park. No idea what you're eating. Native Americans used to eat them and dance around a fire.

You'll be fine OP.

I know the feelings well. A few years ago I began a meditation practice when I realized I was angry and couldn't stop. I became a Thai monk a couple of years later, for a year. Best thing I ever did for my head. (If I could start and stay on an exercise program, it would be good for my body, too.) Sitting for 20 minutes a day, feeling the breath going past the end of your nose or past your upper lip would help more than you can imagine. When your mind wanders, bring it back to watching your breath. It works!

Your thread is great and I'm walking a parallel path. My first grow is beginning to sit in the FC. Now, with Shroomfest in late Aug, I have a date for my first trip! Yay me! Thanks for the headsup.

Best wishes for your journey. It's dark now, but there is a way out. Keep looking for it.

Wow that's quite the accomplishment. Good for you. I appreciate your support a great deal. I think you understand how dark things can get sometimes. Times were tough but I'm finally moving forward.

I'm excited for you. Congrats on getting to the FC! Best of luck. One thing I recently learned was that the pins are formed when water evaporates from the cake (among other things). That's what triggers them. Something to keep in mind.

Btw here is some more info reguarding Shroomfest. http://arithegreat.com/shroomfestprimer/

The Skeptic Tank is a good podcast as well. I listen to it all the time.

Green Mold... [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22041571 - 08/04/15 10:55 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I wake up this morning to find that one of my 5 jars has green mold growing in the sub straight yet colonized. I'm so mad at myself. I let the room get too hot and there wasn't enough air flow to cool it down. I start to look at the others and 2 of my most promising jars look like they have a speck of green towards the top...Fuck...I know the rules. It should be tossed. I was thinking about opening it outside, cutting away at the small speck, and leave it by itself to see what happens. Idk I'm pretty crushed right now...any advice?

The contams are inside the actual substrate, not just the visible portion. I've seen a million tricks on how to avoid contaminations and/or fruit with a contamed substrate and they always end up lack luster. IMO, post pics (But I'm pretty sure you know what you're looking at by now) and if they're contamed, just toss.

This hobby really is at best frustrating in the beginning. I myself am stuck without any pins a week after birthing a few super aggressive colonizers.
Anyway, pic's are very important here, try making them as good as you possibly can.
Sending good vibes you'r way  :mushroom:

OK so here are some pics of the emerald impostor.





I couldn't get a better picture for the life of me but know there is a small amount of green growth showing up in the sub straight. Not actually on the mycilym but near it. I'm going to chuck it.

This is what the other 2 look like.



Unless you really look carefully you cant see the smaller then a eraser head speck of green mold on the cake. I'm going to try and cut away at the mold and dunk em and grow them separately.

Yep, that's trich. I'd even say with how far down in the jar those spots are they were endospores, meaning you didn't sterilize it enough. Just my guess.

cutting the mold won't do anything. it's fibers have grown throughout the cake already. the whole cake is trash.

If you had used the 1/2 pint wide mouth you may have gotten a few cakes there.

I'd switch jars. Keep those though, you will need them for something else lol.

Alright folks. Allot went down today.
First off this is a horrible time for this. I'm going to see the show The Book Of Mormon on Broadway tomorrow. I've been wanting to see it for years and now is finally time. There was allot of research I needed to do today but instead I fought the emerald enemy.

Cake #1, the cake showing the first signs of growth and the strongest jar is now being dunked. It's growth along with the rest were stalled for a few days due to my choice of jars. It was ready. I dunked it before it could get infected with mold spores from the others. 

3 were on the chopping block. They are to be my zombie cake experiments.

M1 x
M2 xx
M3 xxx

Mold 1-3 with a x representing the amount of infection.

As you can see in the last post M1 x was half colonized and mostly heavily infected. I did all of this outside taking extreme care to not get the spores anywhere but the trash. I carved it out and tried to remove all of the infection. I changed gloves multiple times making sure I didn't spread it by hand. I was left with about half the jar. After cleaning I later took half the assumed clean cake reminiscence and broke it up in a Tupperware container, mixed it with organic potting soil I recently got for my seeds, and put it in a spawn bag with a heppa filter. The other half is whole sitting in a peanut butter jar with a gauze pad filter on the top and some soil at the bottom. The other 2 were similar in infection and one was barely at all. There bagged in water. I plan on fruiting them separately even though its probably pointless. I still have #1 dunked and one of my other cakes looks fine. I also used some of the healthy mycelium from #1 that crumbled off and put them in one of the jars with soil.  It will probably be a small harvest... but a harvest none the less.

Idk because all infections were shown to be Right above the inoculation hole. Not very deep ether. I check them everyday and that mold on M1 became visible overnight.

Sorry bro.  it really sucks, thats for sure!  hopefully you will get at least enough for you and a friend or two off the remaining cake.  I wouldn't have too much hope for the others you are experimenting with....

The Sleeper Has Awakened! [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22053917 - 08/06/15 02:45 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

After 18 days jar #6 has finally starting to show signs of colonization!

Today I'm making my fruiting chamber and birthing some cakes. Its pretty exciting. Also one of the clean cakes left that I left in the jar grew quite a bit. The mycylum is touching the bottom of the jar! OK so that's 1 positively clean cake and 1 that will most likely follow suit. 2 cakes is still something.

I'll keep you folks posted on my experiments soon. So far there showing promise. Call me Dr. Frankenstein but I still have hope for those monsters.

btw

                                                          THE BOOK OF MORMON WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!

I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Great show. The theater is really small as well. We were front right about 6 or 7 rows from the stage. During the standing ovation I was looking at the lead, he saw me and we exchanged a knowing nod and a smile. That had to be the coolest moment of the show for me. If your at all interested listen to this little number.

A Magical Journey: A New Hope [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22056635 - 08/07/15 04:08 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

OK people. This is a major grow update.

First off #1 has been dunked and rolled and guarded by Gandalpf in his own terrarium. I have high hopes for this one.







I noticed there was a chia pet mucus on the cake. It must have made a barrier to protect itself. That's so fascinating. 

Jar #6 on the left FINALLY showing signs of growth after 18 days. Left jar is almost fully colonized.





Now on to the experements.

M1 and M2 sit in there own separate PC in there own section of the house. I may drill a few more holes. As you can see M1 looks mostly normal in size where as M2 is considerably smaller after the operation. 





These next few are inspired by bodhisatta's "PF tek for cloning on the EZ" thread http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21997518

The Jar on the left is a mix of the fuzzy mycelium on the top of #1's verm layer mixed with excess bits that fell off during cleaning and organic potting soil. The jar on the right is half of the badly infected M3 in a mostly invetro setup. Just a little soil and verm. I used gause pads as heppa filters.



The next experement is the other half of M3 crumbled up and mixed with soil in a tupperware container encased in a spawn bag. I actually scavenged it from my pot growing side project, so a seed of Bubble-Gum ended up finding its way into the mix.





Last but not least I have a pot for pot mixed with random mycelium particles. Next to it is a inoculated bag of rye berries filled with Cambodian spores.



I really appreciate everyone's good vibes and support. These past few days have been a bit of a setback but I tried my best to make lemonade out of lemons. My fingers are crossed and I'm hoping for the best. As always I'll keep you fine folks posted.

1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides.

Just by looking at your lid I can tell you did not follow this. Those holes were just drilled out at random.

Then the tub should be raised, so air can pass up thru the holes in the bottom.

Sure. I plan on raising it today. As far as the holes go, does it really matter all that much? I mean all of the holes are more or less 2" apart with plenty of FAE. I have a fan in the back and a grow light. I was well aware a SGFC calles for a grid pattern. I thought it was trivial. The spacing is whats important. I respect your advice but I feel like your being a little strict.

Well, when people do not follow a simple tek and think they can just wing it, and then come here and post pictures of their mistake, when they get corrected, they often get kind of butthurt.

Yes it matters that much, and the tek says place the chamber in a room with no running fans....

A little too strict? You totally disregarded what the tek called for.......this is not mycotopia, we will give constructive criticism here, and not just pat u on the back for amateur mistakes.

I am sorry if I offended you, but please take no offense, just follow the tek for the best results.

Dude I didn't just "wing it". I'm obviously no expert but I do my research. I hear FAE is important and you should fan to promote this. Also pinning is caused by the evaporation of water on the cake. Fanning would only help this process. I thought it was ideal. I never heard anyone say you shouldn't do it.

I was a little butthurt to be honest though. I did all this stuff, recovered from a catastrophic infection and finally made it to the FC and all you could say was "you done fucked up". Being a noob as well I have to embarrassingly ask what I did wrong. I was never offended just a little taken back and humbled.

Yes, but you only fan after misting, when a drop in RH is needed for evaporation to occur, and you fan out the chamber for like 10 seconds with the tubs lid, not an actual fan. You just want to evacuate some of the humid air out of the chamber after misting. If you do not mist the cakes, there is no need to fan out the chamber.

But having a fan in the room will only mess with the functionality of the chamber you chose to use.

A quick search will prove it.

Fanning out the chamber after misting is what is meant by "fanning".

It's ok, I fucked up a lot learning as well, it's ok...

That being said, I mean no offense, only good.....I want you to succeed.

In all reality you could have fucked up a lot worse lol.

:facepalm3: Well shit. I'm surprised I didn't know that...I just assumed...I remember someone using a CPU fan in there PC.. Its something I overlooked. The 2 mantras I adapted in my studies were "Be patient" and "don't over think things". I should of done more research. 

I totialy understand that you are trying to help. I have read many of your comments on different threads. You have taught me quite allot about mycology. You don't have to explain yourself. I was never offended just a but humbled. Looks like my shit was not as together as I had hoped :wink:. Plowing ahead. What should I do about the PC? I can go and clean up the holes a bit. Hopefully it will be a decent enough environment for my little guys.

I for one did not see this coming. Your humility is impressive. I've gotten a lot wrong myself, but not because I was winging it. There's a lot to learn.

What I don't understand in reading dozens of threads is why people go off the rez so early in their growing. It's like someone who doesn't know how to cook refusing to follow the recipe. Before anyone becomes a chef, they have to be a line cook. Learn the rules, then break them. My guess is people here are smarter than the average bear, so they often think they know better. Or they are too young. Not that I'm accusing you, Tarrnack. You've shown with your willingness to admit your errors a maturity even people my age (or esp) have difficulty with.

Not to highjack your thread, but I what size holes did you drill in your SGFC? For some reason, I missed the 1/4" and drilled 3/8th inch holes in mine. This might be too much FAE. My cakes have shown nothing after several days in the chamber, so I'm wondering what to do next.

Keep on trucking, man. I think you have contributions to make here.

3/8" holes just means you'll have to mist more often. if you are around enough
and learn to read the cakes/mushrooms it will work even better than the 1/4" holed chambers.
another inch or 2 of perlite can only do good too.
several days doesnt mean much, it can easily take 10-14 days to pin
and thats assuming they already had 7-10 days consolidation time before fruiting.

It was more of a oversight then a disrespect for the tek. The side projects were not planned (well the rye seed berries were) but instead out of necessity. Discovering that mold changed everything. 

Your correct. They are 3/8th holes. That was the highest bit I could get my hands on. My PC is working pretty well so far. At least 90% humidity consistently and always mid 70's. Cake looks healthy and is whitening up nicely. I'm not sure why your not pinning yet. I say just give it time. It took 18 days for one of my jars to start kickin. There mysterious and fickle organisms.

OK gang what you looking at is half of M3's mostly invetro setup. Is that the start of pinning towards the bottom? Looks like it. The other cakes are looking good as well. The 2nd small jar smells a little funny though. Not sure what that's about. Smells a bit like cheese.

Things are looking good so far. Temps and humidity are fine and from what I can tell there is some nice active progress going on in my little guys.

My last pic post shows the other half of M3 in its mostly invetro setup. Looks like its the first of the gang to hit puberty! Pinning! You know they grow up so fast *sniffles*

#1 here looking strong as always.



M1 and M2 are looking surprisingly good with no signs of mold so far. I'm hoping for the best but still ready for the worst.



1/2 of M3 is showing nice progress in its bag. So does the baby bud sprout. I'll probably need to transplant it at some point but its fine for now. I want everyone to have there fair share.



The pot pot isnt really showing much progress but then again it was the least supplemented experiment of them all. 1 drop of Cambodian spore liquid.






Oh! Look at that! 100+ posts! I'm lucky to of found a home in this community and I hope to some day help out a noob in the same shoes as me. I'm forever grateful to this wonderful community and its teachers. Without them this place wouldn't be what it is today. I thank you for all that you do.

So I go to check on my half of M3 in its spawn bag setup. I notised the start of a mold infection next to the seedling. A very small amount. I sterilized a spoon and removed the area in my backyard. I then patched it with some verm. This will most likely be a battle I cant win but I'll try my best to get a flush before I toss it.

I ended up tossing the cheese smelling baby jar experiment into the compost. It was just barely showing signs of mold. I keep catching the emerald emperor very early but that one just wasnt worth keeping. It smelt bad and it started to get this gray stringy stuff going on. I thinks its a type of contam. Fair enough, the jar was made out of mostly the dry verm filter.

Do you live in the tropics, man? That's a lot of contamination problems, it seems to me. What do I know? I've never seen one.

I live on the very humid Long Island NY. I expected it a bit from those cakes though. They were contaminated experiments to begin with. And like I said the baby jar was pretty much made out of a contam filter so I expected that...smelled like cheese...The rest of the cakes and grows are as clean as can be, smell great with bright white potential.

I have a milestone update to post here in a sec so stay tuned :grin:

A Magical Journey : He's Got The Leg Going For A Pin 1,2, Atleast 12! [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22074904 - 08/11/15 05:33 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Horrible wrestling puns aside look at this folks! Pins! Fruits! I did it!





I'm really happy and proud of this at the moment. Out of all the projects the one that was least cared for showed the first signs of fruits. Its been 4-5 days since i popped it into that jar. This whole process has been all over the place for me. Again I cant thank the community enough for there help and support. OK enough blowjobs :wink:, on to the rest of the projects.

The savage 1# looking yoked as hell. Its only a matter of time before I start seeing pins.



M1 and M2 looking great. I noised there was a little bit of water under the tub. Ended up kind of vertically shaking the FC to get rid of the excess water. Worked like a charm. Both chambers smell very clean with just a hint of mushroom. I have high hopes for those 2... regardless of there past.





The only real bummer is the other half of M3 in the spawn bag. I see another hint of mold in the same general area. I know some contam is OK for a mono tub but I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking about isolating it outside and see what happens, maybe get a flush, then toss it. What do you folks guys think?

All in all, I think this is the mark of a wonderful milestone in my mycology carrier. I'm ecstatic! :happyclaps:

I think you have an FAE problem:

Quote:

taGyo said:
Fanning is not FAE. FAE is the passive act of air exchange, reducing CO2 levels and increasing O2. Mushrooms are closer to humans then plants so imagine if I put you in a room with a limited supply of oxygen and expected you to not only live but produce a Mona Lisa at the same time. You would suffer and probably die while drawing stick figures.

In the wild mushrooms are CONSTANTLY blasted by fresh air. There are very few places on Earth that are 100% humidity all the time. Mushrooms like fluctuation, this is what they're used to.

I've done a few cakes and a bunch of monotubs. You don't want it to be WET honestly. You want it to get a little dry before you mist again. Pins form from water evaporating on the surface. How do you think I knew you were over-misting and recommended that you cut down? Because those cakes look like they're getting loved to death. Without a proper environment the cakes won't pin.

DO NOT FAN IN BETWEEN MISTINGS. Fanning is to quickly destroy the environment so the fresh air coming in will have to pull more water from the perlite (Which you should also be misting lightly) to restart the humidity. This gives your cakes a jump start on the drying process and also wicks away excessive moisture from the cakes.

The reason why they're growing out like that past the dry verm layer is because they're getting over-saturated which is telling them they're not supposed to pin yet. Mushrooms don't like overly wet environments. Your SGFC should be 6-12" away from the wall and 6-12" away from the floor. In the middle of the room is ideal.

In the future the oven isn't necessary. But use it if you like.

DON'T ROLL FOR THE SECOND FLUSH.

Are their holes on the bottom? Raise that higher. Do you have qt jars?

Hmm. What makes you think that exactly? Is it that the myclilum keeps growing instead of fruiting because of lack of FAE or too much moisture? Ether way I went ahead and drilled some more holes in my FC's...and like a moron I accidentally drilled about a cm into M3...I ended up plugging it up with a piece of washed perlite...I still cant believe I did that.

That quote you linked me made perfect sense. I'm giving it too much love. Too much misting and not enough FAE. I may just have a fan going in the room. The air gets pretty still in here sometimes. I noticed it just now smoking pot. The smoke barely moves. Making adjustments now. I was wondering why there was pinning in my jar but not on the cakes.

If you can avoid the fan and just find a room that has more air flow it would be better.

OK so I ended up drilling more holes in both tubs...then drilled a few more. My bit was the one under 1/4. Its like 38/78 or something. Slightly smaller so I had to make a bit more of them...or so I thought. My humidity tanked. To counter that I looked to some pillow stuffing I harvested from the wild a week or so ago. Don't worry its clean. I placed 4 small puff balls in the corners and 2 in the center against the walls. Humidity is regulating again...I just need to find that sweet spot. Inherently I feel like my smaller FC makes it a bit harder to keep humidity. I'm going big next time.

Also birthed, dunked, and set up another experiment from the long dormant #6. I wanted to keep it really simple and I didn't have RF or anything. So I took a cookie container and made a thin bed of verm, crumpled up the cake on top of in a even layer. I cut out a hole a fixed a gause pad over the dome for FAE. Hopefully that's enough. Even though this is much different it worked for the M3 jar. I guess I'll call it the Virmvitro Tek for posterity.

(Warning! Do not follow said tek. OP is a scrub with delusions of grandeur. He hasn't even produced his first fruits without going off the rails several times. Now hes going around naming shit. What a complete ass. Its a small wonder why the mods don't ban him. They even encourage his madness! Blind leading the blind if you ask me..............wait.................who am I...?)

So you took some verm and put it on the bottom of a crumble cake?

Put it on top. It won't help on the bottom though.

Its a very thin layer. My reasoning being it was meant to simulate dirt a little. I would of used dirt like my other jar but my mom stole the last of my organic potting soil. I would of just put in there by itself but I wanted to add something. There is still virm on top.

I was thinking about these amazing organisms. How they live and reproduce. My current predicament of over saturating my cakes. Its safe in that state. It will keep growing. Fruits are made in uncertain times. There created out of fear. The fear of not being able to sustain itself anymore. A need to continue itself by fruiting because its dying...

You dare question the revoultionary trailblazer that is Virmvitro Tek!?



But seriously, I'm well aware of the differences :lol: . I just didn't want it to sweat against container...cause...reasons...I wish I had potting soil.................Vurmvitro Tek is the  way of the future!

Over saturation leads to contamination germination.

Plenty of edible farmers do various shock techniques to induce fruiting like dropping subs or electrocution. As far as I can recall, we don't benefit from shocks as much when growing cubes.

Your mom must know you're growing magical mushrooms, right? Either she is way, way cooler than my mom ever thought about being, or oblivious! What's a nerd doing with potting soil? I'm way more interested in hearing about your mom.

:wink:

Keep throwing shit against the wall, man! It's the only way we ever found out anything! Who cares if you're pathfinding the middle line on an interstate?

Re: A Magical Journey : Throwing Science At The Wall To See What Sticks [Re: Ajahn Don]
    #22084024 - 08/12/15 11:33 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

:lmafo:  I have the Apature science methodology. "we are throwing science at the wall to see what sticks".

BTW my folks are cool as shit. They know full well what I'm doing. Remember I'm also growing seedlings. There more interested in that. They both smoke pot. My Moms not thrilled about it but still supportive. My dad is allot more. He even wants to eventually eat a few. My second PC is on the dinning room table...she wants it out of there. I don't blame her. I just cant find a decent place for it right now I was thinking about clearing off this 3 tiered stainless steel shelving unit. It would be perfect for mycology and I can free up some much needed space. One thing you need top realize about me is that I pretty much live like a Japanese person. My house is very small and its hard sometimes to accommodate. Most of the shit you see in the pictures are within arms length of me right now. On all sides I'm surrounded with distractions. 3 monitors sit on a large table, audio recording equipment, books, comics, games, posters, merch, ect. My FC sits on top of my hotel fridge next to the coffee maker.

I guess you could call me a nerd. I'm many things really. I'm more punk then nerd in attitude and appearance. 6'3, hair is a 2 1/2 foot long, half of of which is a blue and red braid (meant to represent the duality of man and how there intertwined in myself. The left, the right, black, white, good and evil, yin and yang, life and death ect). I collect knives and practice there defensive applications. I wear buttons and suspenders (which are extremely helpful for toting around fairly heavy metal objects).  I'm a nice person but like the Clash song says "if i get aggression I give it two times back". I'm the guy that stands up and yells at the jerk talking on his cell phone in the movie theater. I don't mind a little heat. I actually love a bit of tension sometimes. I play allot of competitive video games. One or two I can play pretty well. Some of my friends are tournament competitors and do pretty good for themselves. A bit of that has rubbed of on me I think. If you wanna brawl with me in Street Fighter 4, Quake 3, or Team Fortress 2 (or anything for that matter) hit me up at Tarrnack on Steam 
:minigun:

The truth is I've been multiple people in my life. I have always been true to myself but I have been changed as a person many times. Not that I lack conviction in my own personal beliefs but that I have walked in a few different pairs of shoes in my 25 years. Opinions have changed. Hung out with wildly different groups of people. Lost friends. I did shitty things to some. I've been treated poorly myself. I've missed opportunities and have gotten very lucky at times. I've been extremely happy in certain points in my life, as well as experience the worst of it. I have too many hobbies and feel like nothing is set in stone. I want it all but I only need a little to make me happy.

I'm pretty much a walking contradiction. A strange Punk/Hippie amalgam prototype not yet ready store shelves. This is me. I think I'm in between stages at the moment. For the first time in a while I like where this is going.


Not sure why I went off like that but I guess I just wanted to tell you and everyone else more about who I am. I know this is a cultivation thread but it has kindof morphed into this self indulgent public journal. I'll tighten things up a bit. I know I'm partially under the delusion people give a shit about me and what I think, but I just felt like putting that out there. For posterity at least.

Alright folks. In the short time since pinning the little guys have pretty much doubled in size every day!









There a little on the small side I think but still looking good.I was supprised to notise some of the vailes have snaped. Should I harvest them?! I wasnt planning on it but today would be perfect for my first trip.





There is no way I'm getting my fingers in there. Any suggestions on how to harvest? I was thinking about gently loosening it from the soil with chopsticks then slide it out in the open. Then I'll just pop it back in. Also the thought of printing the big guy did cross my mind. I like the way they clustered. Possibly a good trait? A quick conformation would be very appreciated. I'm pretty fucking excited atm!

I went to weigh one of the little guys.

Hmm 1.7g... FUCK IT! *nom*.

Were doin it folks! This wasn't planned! Were doing it now! I plan on eating a good 8g more. I'm isolating myself here today for science and observation.

I'll keep you fine freaks posted all along the way.

Ok so I ate about 10gs fresh then took a shower. I felt something. I downloaded Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to watch and walked around the house a bit. I started to get a massive grin...didnt realize it then instinctavly tried to stop it. Wait...just let that feeling be. I hate when I read something like that but honestly trying to stop it was a little like trying to stop mid piss but less intense. A genuine grin chiseled on my face. It lasted like 2 mins. I'm typing now.This is going to be interesting. I'm not sure how hands on this will be. I may go against what I initially said about isolation. It is a nice day out today. I'll try and post as I go along.

Forgot to post the above comment. Looked for my lighter 4 or 5 separate times and remembering it was upstairs (this could just be my pot brain. I have been smoking this entire time but that's normal). I then started to get up and walk away in the middle of me typing this. STAY FOCUSED! Logs. Right. Again I lose my train of thought. I think I'm just going to post this for now.

Edit* oh thats right! I ended up watching a the longest gif I've ever seen of the game "Snake" being beaten

Edit* I forgot to edit my edit untl just now 25 mins later.

A Magical Journey: Tarrnack Returns [Re: Tarrnack]
    #22128685 - 08/22/15 09:11 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

That's right folks! I'm back! Been locked up a for a while, but I'm back once again to regale you with tales of my magical journey. I thank the noble chronicr for my freedom.



Last time we saw our hero he was in the grips of a mental breakdown fighting a unjust war against no one...


All of what happened next is documented in this trip report thread http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22090773

The short version of which boils down to me taking a small dose, started to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, broke the rules, got the thread locked, not being able to deal with these new emotions stewed for over 6 hours, snapped out of it, apologized, ate a gyro and went to bed. It was overall a positive experience.

OK cultivation.

Experiments first.

M3 1/2 in the bag produced the second wave of fruits. Some of the pins grew upside down. Weird. To be honest I did no research on tub tek before I started it...I assume that's why they have those dark liners...sigh. Oh well. Live and learn I guess (or just do some simple research before you start stuff you degenerate).






Virvitro Tek failed. The project was looking really good for a while. I started experimenting with intense direct sunlight for short amounts of time. I exposed it for too long and the cake layer shriveled and blued. I compensated by adding a little to much water to re-hydrate the chamber. The next day...Holy shit. There was a two inch layer of gray hair standing straight up! I wish I took a picture but when I first saw it I was like a Ebola scare. The most aggressive looking contam I've ever seen in my short carrier. I dump all my failed experiments and scraps in a compost pile I started a few months ago, in hope of getting some nature grade monster out of it. I call it "The Graveyard" (for fun and posterity). 


Virmvitro Tek was too ahead of its time. Too much of a rebellious trailblazer. A candle that burns at both ends burn twice as bright they say.


                        RIP



Moving on.


M1 and M2. They were part of the same sunlight experiment but did not meet the same fate as #6 with the Virmvitro Tek (patent pending). In fact they did pretty well.



I got the American Harvest dehydrator off of ebay a day before they were ready to pick. I found a scavanged mascara brush works great for cleaning the bits of verm and junk  off the stems. I will eventualy get this amazing mushroom knife I was talking about in the pub http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22119621



Cracker dry, M1 weighs in at 3.4g and M2 at 4.5g. Making a combined weight of 7.9 grams. For whatever reason the smaller M2 produced more fruits. Remember these guys came back from death. The "M" stands for mold and the number the level of infection. There ya go kids. Another example of mold defeated. Still, its not safe to play with fire. I de-caped all the large ones, split the stalks with a knife for the dehydrator and made a few prints. One of the 3 was put on the strap of my suspenders. I have a few buttons that run down the red straps. The button sized print is a symbol representing Shroomery and a badge of pride signifying the adventures of a successful amateur mycologist. I also realized my dream of a becoming Johnny Spore Seed. I'm pretty happy about the whole thing. I still haven't gone to level 3. These are more then enough to pay for the ticket...but that's just the experiments...


#1. The savage. The legend.



I was paranoid that his own weight would cause him to detach from the cake. So I made a crutch out of a pair of crossed chopsticks and some fishing line.



It's the largest single mushroom I've grown so far. Weighing in at a whopping 22.5 grams!



Cracker dry along with the rest of the little ones weighed out to 3.6 grams.


I gathered everything in a jar and all together the grand total weighs out to 11.3 grams!



There now jarred and stored away for Shroomfest in 6 days. I placed a small beef jerky gel pack I scavenged from a bag of Lawless Jerky inside.


See that folks? That's satisfaction I hold in my hand.





So whats next? Shroomfest in the upcoming days will mark the end of this magical journey. I'm pretty excited for it...and a little sad at the same time. Remember its the 28th 29th and the 30th. Any day. When your tripping and having a good ol time,and I hope you will, just for a second think of me. I'll manifest myself into a ethereal cosmic spider being and drop on by for a visit in your conciseness...Probably not though... I'm a noob after all...still worth a shot.


Right now #2 lays in a unconventional lackadaisical manner. He's a hipster. Pins are forming nicely.



He came out with a uneven top so I cut a small ring off the top and put it in a jar. It was flush to the glass and pins were starting to form all over. I felt the majority would die and some were already bruising against the glass. So I popped it out and placed it next to #2. I guess I'll call him 1/6th. The crutch for #1 still stands in there. 



I plan on making new FC's. They can be better. There too small as well. During the last legs of the fruiting process fruiting I had to put a clear garbage bag over the FC so the shrooms wouldn't bump there heads on the lid.



Syringe to syringe. I have come full circle in my cultivation process.




A few days ago I made up 5 more cakes in some widemouth jars and knocked them up using the syringe from M3 jar, some Cambodian and a Mazatapec that was thrown in for free.

The cycle starts again.



I cant thank you folks enough for your frindship and support in helping me get this far.

That's cool that you made a spore syringe, because I never have, but I kinda always say that if you have the skills necessary to make a clean syringe, those same skills are way better applied to just working with agar instead of ever putting spores in a syringe at all.  Too many uncontrollable variables unless we're dealing with invitro spores and impeccable technique.

I want to get into agar. I need to master a few other disiplins before I do it I think. I tend to overlook things sometimes. I wanna make sure I have a real good foundation before I move on to the final frounter. The next project is probably going to be a mono tub. I want to go big. I'd like some bulk to play around with extracts and powders.

This.  The sooner you just do it the quicker this phase will be over with.  If you're going to mess up, you want agar, because it's more forgiving than grain or PF mix as long as you understand what to do with it.  You'll still be stumbling drunk with a knife but at least it won't be in a dark room.

What... what are you culturing from a doctors office??  People's urinary infections?

Just go to the asian market and get some agar agar.

lol idk. I know nothing about it. I think of strep throat when I think of agar. That link looks great. Looks like I have a bit of homework to do.

Edit* I need to get a PC...

No PC? Sorry to be a scold, but what the hell are you doing, son? All this sound and fury and you aren't even taking care of the basics. You're all over the place. Step by step. Learn a tek from A to Z, then go off to the twilight zone. Not the reverse. I don't get it, I really don't.

:shrug:

Didn't I just say that I needed one? Even then how am I not taking care of the basics? I've pretty much done everything possible without a PC, or allot of things for that matter. I've only ever done BRF style tek. Every time I went off the rails it was out of necessity not out of lack of respect. Just above your comment I even turn down the thought of learning agar because I don't have a PC yet. There expensive and not all of us can throw down for one at the drop of a hat.

Sigh...Not that I need to explain myself but there have been unexpected expenses that have cropped up recently that wiped out my savings. I should of had one by now. So yeah. That's what I'm doing.

BTW
You might as well throw out the word cunt or a racial slur because calling me "son" isnt much different. At least to me it isnt.

I really don't think that was meant to be taken that way, he was just giving you a little hazing for not having a PC.  If people get offended when you call them son I might have to stop as well. :shrug:

What will I say before I say "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one"?? :sad:

Not really sure how else it was meant to be taken. When you start out like "Sorry to be a scold, but what the hell are you doing son" your making your intentions quite clear. Maybe I overreacted but I really don't like it when older people condescend and shake there head at there younger piers. He hit multiple nerves. I really should of already had a PC by now. It bothers me that I cant afford one. I don't need it rubbed in my face.

Truth is I went to go edit and remove that part of my comment but now the cats out of the bag.

If you need an apology, then here is one. I meant no disrespect for your age. Where I come from, it's just a way people talk. When you get to be my age, I think you'll see things differently. I hope so. It means you have learned a lot along the way. I'll be dead, so you won't owe me a return apology. Good luck in your future endeavors.

:bye:

I don't need a apology. There is no call for one. I'm not mad at anyone and I don't want any static. Where I come from anyone that talks to you like that is ether a cop, a bad teacher, a shitty boss, and rentacop or any other number of unlikable authoritative figures.

Ether way it looked like you were just taking the piss out of me. It seemed like you were somehow trying to discredit my acomplishments because I didn't have a PC. Truth is, doing everything without one is much harder and I was still successful. If cronicr, PussyFart, or any other vet like Inocuole or taGyo were giving me a hard time like that it would be a different story but were pretty much on the same skill level. Even then I didn't care. But I'm definitely going to say something about it. I have to be true to myself. I might of overacted. I apologize if I bothered you and I hope we can meet on common ground at some point.
