Damn, I cant wait for these 2 APE cultures to be ready for grains. I was thinking of taking an 8th of APE the 1st time, maybe I will start at 2.

i started off with half a gram. i was like holy shit these are not joking with me. and that was after shrooming for the entire month of december.
they ape looked at my 'tolerance' and said 
so then i did .75g and it was fucking unreal how hard and how long i was full on tripping from 1 singular mushroom.

That's fucking awesome, cause I like the kind of trip I get from 5 grams, but hate eating that much. I think I need to let my tea's set longer, cause they dont work that well for me. Well with the exception of the very 1st one that I put 4g into. That was a GREAT trip.

Holy shit...beware of the ape, huh mushboy? Maybe I'll play it safe and start off with less than a g...I tripped pretty hard off 1.8g AA+ a while back and thought holy hell I should have cloned those...

thats my fav part about the ape for sure. i broke the shroom into a few pieces(dense as fuck) and boiled it on medium for a solid 15-20min. i like a concentrated tasting tea. then added half oz of lemon juice.
i drank the liquid, saving the soggy pieces for the come up. but the come up hit too fast. i confess i love ape.

I'm mad at myself because I was confident in this last transfer and I tossed my doner APE plate, it's not growing out and I took a transfer of a different culture that was made the same day

That's why I always take at least 2 transfers. If its early transfers from germination plate I start at 3-4 plates per transfer. Then as stuff starts looking good I take less transfers per round, but I still always take 2.

A bunch of us in the tribe are about to grow a bunch out. There is the intention of doing swabs to include in our future give away. My goal will be for us to do the give away on 4-20, keep an eye out.

The 4-20 goal is multiple reason. One its 4-20 so why not lol. Also it gives us enough time to do multiple grows and try to get variety besides the ape. I got some Matias Romero or how ever it is spelled on grain right now. Will have South American and Wickedzon soon. Some of us are also trying to get some exotic print. I think mycolorado might be helping out there. Its going to be BIG!

Hell yea. It will probably end up being sporesplosion 2018 and ANYONE will be welcome to contribute to helping other members out. It is all about sharing the love. 
By time we are all done, everyone going to be growing the ape. Kind of like how everyone have LGT now.

I confess, I've always had slow jars. I'm still learning. I had an oops, a couple weeks ago, that turned into a wow. Now I see a lot of time and effort was wasted trying to make the perfect lid to solve an oxygen problem that was not the problem. My moisture revelation, I feel really humbled to discover that I had something so basic so wrong.
I'll have quite a bit of variety in my collection by April I think. Allenii, stunzii, ovoid look great on agar, several others don't but I've got time still. I'll try to get a 420 pack together for an exotic giveaway.

I confess: I've got plates of "GP" growing and the print might as well have said "wtf?" Because I have no idea what species I'm growing.
