I hate how dusty the stuff is though
Perlite is great in casing layers!

I had wondered about it, but had the fear of accidently eating some. I have this fear from years ago growing cakes. I some how ended up with a shroom that grew around a piece. I promise you, it isn't much fun chomping into a shroom with a chunk of it in the middle. Like nails on a chalkboard, lol. It does make sense that it would create a great microclimate for shrooms to grow.

1. buy a torch. its worth it.
2. wbs means bulk? perlite becomes obsolete
3. make a list

....iso? Empty. And it was 4am.

About 4 times this has happened to me... After the second time I learned to check the iso BEFORE getting everything else ready. Usually it's because I used the isopropyl to extract weed, and then got too stoned to remember to get new iso. That reminds me, I need to get new iso, AND make some oil.

I got an amazing torch at the smoke shop. Cost me more than I wanted to pay but once it was in my hand I knew why. Really nice solid build. Even better than my friends kitchen torch. Fire engine red with a nice easy to grip silicon body. It's like a raging dragon. I think I have to confess I'm in love with my torch now. Sexy beast.
I also confess I have a pint full of dried undersized and aborted shrooms that I call the abortion jar. The little shrooms that couldn't.

I bet that squirrel would taste good with some sauteed mushrooms and onions in a brown gravy over rice, mmmm that's good stuff. I sure love me some squirrels.

No.. just checking growth, i couldn't see shit.. i couldn't find the ziplock screw tops which look pretty clear so i got these little rubber made ones that are ribbed cause it didn't occur to me that i might have to actually see shit so i got some nice glass jars and can see finally, it's a good thing anyway, i need to practice my SAB work and all of that... just glad they had some clean myc in the ones i used, didnt see anything weird..
