I find when I'm feeling a little gun shy I just come on here and read some teks, check out some photos, stuff like that. Helps ease the jitters.
Cause you know, we all get SO excited when we're looking at our spores under the microscope

Yeah that's just what I did. Helped me to relax. Just spawned 3 shoeboxes. Have one jar left for G2G.
It was REALLY nice smelling that clean spawn. It's been awhile.

I confess I have anger issues and I'm going to go to my Zen place and do a nice slow harvest.

What magnification is that at? I couldn't tell what I was looking at at first till I zoomed in on my phone. Cubes?

That's pretty badass man! There's only like 2 for sale on Amazon and eBay and no reviews. Are these old news or cutting edge tech? I guess I can do my own research. I still want one!
Well, I just bought one on eBay. 12.50 shipped. If it's junk oh well. I still think it's a cool idea.

Let me know how it goes RomeoPapa. I'd love to play with one.
I want to look at spores and tardigrades. Cute little water bears.

Pan cyan tea kicked my ass... ended up throwing up and then falling asleep like five hours in to it after I made plans and friends came over but I was already keeled over and half naked in bed when they showed up lol
Felt like college again. Now i am washing my blankets, think i’m gonna skip out on cooking grains today

1.2 dried grams grinded up, took less than 20 minutes before onset. I wasn’t nauseous as much as I was overwhelmed by the mental load I was experiencing later in the trip which led to puking
The first couple of hours were great but it started to intensify and eventually I was too fucked to move. Thankfully I made it outside before chunks blew
