Setting yourself on fire in the SAB - a timeless mush cult rite of passage!
I confess when I saw this email from eBay in my inbox I immediately thought: “I bet I’m the only one in my family and friends who is ordering horse shit on eBay!”

I confess, the 3$ humidity monitor from Walmart works better than my ink bird. It is simply to control devices. The numbers mean very little. I’m programming it to what the $3 one says and what I’m seeing on the surface. Fucking genius!!! It’s like gauging a 63 finish with your finger or a 10 with your eyes. All in time. These small comparisons give me hope thru my fails. Too bad you can’t rework a substrate. Lmao.

My confessions are:
-I got into active cultivation because I had some really life changing trips back in the day, but I do not currently trip. It’s been 5 years since I’ve tripped and I still maintain active grows year round. I feel I could have a lot to gain if I tripped again, but it’s been so long at this point I feel that initial fear again.
-I use gourmets as a cover for active growing. For me, it’s not the same feeling growing gourmets even though I actually eat oysters, lions mane, etc. Not a single person other than me knows I grow actives. Not a single person outside of this site I can talk about it with.
-I spend a lot of time feeling guilty about cult activities. Feels like taking on a lot of unnecessary risk within any benefit. But I can’t stop because I like it so much.

This reminds me of the "I blew up my SAB and went to ER" thread. Worth checking out for some laughs.

Early Spring Confession Part 2
I confess that while my climate doesn't get very cold for for very long (a few weeks in the 40s/50s at worst), it's a double edged sword when winter goes away. It was hot as fuckin balls trying to do some work in the SAB this afternoon, had to take a break in the middle and crank the AC for a while before I turned it off again to finish up. Can't wait for a flowhood to just be blowing me with a constant breeze while I work. Soon...

I get tired of having seizures. Today was a bad one. Went on for hours and ran the full gamut. Broke things I love but it could have been worse. I'm still raw and sore and fucked up from it. It is scary and it sucks. Whole day shot.
Very thankful for my loving family.

I confess, I’m about to throw my grow away and divorce this woman. I can’t handle it anymore. If any of you know what I have been going through, I’m finally done. I must part ways with cult until I deal with this. I can’t believe I’m going to bring everything to a halt once again, but it’s not worth the risk of having around until the divorce is finalized. If anyone whose been divorced could please chime in, I need support and advice. Help me strategize please. I am so tired of the emotional abuse...

It’s tough man but learning to cut people out of my life even if I love them was a huge step for me. It’s just not worth the stress and misery.
From what you’ve said in the past I think you’ll feel way better about things once it’s over and you’ve had some time to process and adjust. Nothing worse than feeling like a prisoner in your own life.

I really hope it lifts this burden in carrying. I feel bad about my kids. My daughter is old enough to know what’s going on and it will hurt her. This is tough but I appreciate the support.

I confess I love the fresh mushroom smell of burning mycellium when I blowtorch my scalpel blade between agar transfers.

I confess that I'm going through cult withdrawals. Just another two weeks and I'll be all settled into my new house and ready to pick up where I left off. I havent been very active here either and I miss you guys. I also confess that today, I start replacing dry wall and I'm not excited about it. Next up is painting and then carpet.

That just means you’ll have unlimited gypsum 
Idk about burning myc, but that smell that comes wafting out of a colonized shoebox when I mist it is amazing.

Lots of good cannabis. A stress free lifestyle and avoiding too much stimuli. Good diet.
Any meds have only made my life and health worse and my doctor is 100% on board with that and has been a huge support and help. I've seen the same meds help other people with seizures successfully but I have too many different types of them (pretty much every type). Some of them are very physically painful and fuck me up for days. Some of them are kind of enjoyable like a good trip. Most of them I don't even notice. No big deal, just my construct that is fucked.
It would take a whole slurry of different drugs to stop them from happening in me. I cant live like a zombie.
Par for the course though. I've suffered more than one TBI and I'm not getting any younger.
I still function and honestly life is really good most of the time.

That’s what the Charlottes web strain was for I think right? The guy found a super high cbd strain to make oil for his little girl and it ended up taking her from like 5+ seizures a day to one every couple months or something awesome like that.
