I play all of my favorite tripping songs to my jars/tubs throughout various stages of growth. That's normal right? Also started instinctively checking lbms at my job looking for panaeolus cinctulus until I caught myself.

Yeah burns suck ass, been blowing glass for years and they come and go, most are minor but I've got a few serious ones, sticking my hand in the flame fatigued or hand torching my hand. This is worth its weight in gold for 2nd and 3rd degree burns, Gold Here It's usually prescribed but I get it here without one and its saved my hand with minimal scarring, and avoid extremely expensive hospital bills.
I too confess last week my glove holding my scalpel was still pretty saturated with iso, which I also soak the scalpel in, and the scalpel went up first in flames and I watched the flame travel up the handle to my glove which caught on fire, which also caused me to 'oh shit' throw the scalpel across the room. Totally threw my SAB rhythm for tge session, I needed to smoke a bowl after that, no injuries just enough to crap my pants

I confess that I've been lame about contests. If you have been in this thread for a while and I'd recognize you send me a PM and I'll send you a random print. First ten folks I recognize.
Also... Does anyone have a confession topic for the July Contest?

I confess I've been super busy this summer and only have a few projects going. I finally have all new clean plates of cubes. Right now I have some jars I'm going to spawn tonight into some shoe boxes. I didn't stop cultivating though. Since summer is my season and the one I feel best during I won't be on here much except maybe to share a few pics. I'm hoping for some real nice Lucy's and APES. I love my new space and I can work when I want to which is great so stuff actually gets done on time. I have my own dishwasher so I don't deal with dirty jars anymore. I just shove them in there and set it on sanitize and done. Having the devoted room has kept everything organized. Contamination has been very minimal which pleases me and I'm not as stressed. I have nothing to complain about anymore. I got off of most of my meds and I actually feel a lot less nuts and a lot more calm. It's super weird. I don't feel so pissed off and angry all the time. It could also be that and a combination of better living conditions. Honestly I feel super grateful I was able to get section 8 after years of waiting which has helped me out a lot and I really don't have anything to complain about. Life is good. I'll come hang out with you guys more when it gets too cold for my lizard body to handle being outside. The bottom is slightly more wet than I'd like but is colonizing just fine. I have to get the hydration levels right in the jars for it versus rye.
Also I just tried using my birdseed for jars instead of feeding it to the birds and I must say it does work well. Here is one of my wine cap jars destined for the garden.

I confess... I am perplexed on whether or not I should use the 66qt or the 34qt for my first bulk with the 8 pints of WBS I have colonizing and am worried about leaving them an extra week before I can spawn them.

They are pint jars not quart jars so have enough for one or the other. Just stressing for no reason probably as I wanted to spawn them by the end of the week as they should be ready but need to go out of town so have to wait. Just worried about whether or not they will be okay. Probably put them in the cold room with the wine in case we get a heat wave while I am gone.

8 pints = 4qt to 8qt sub + 2qt verm is roughly a 1:3/1:4 ratio. Why, is this not enough? I have read a 1:4 ratio is okay. My first time might be better using the 34qt tub maybe?

Was thinking about this and was going to possibly do 6pints and use 2 to do G2G to 12 more pint jars for the 66qt. Sound like a better idea?
