I confess I'm thinking about buying/making a second SAB. My prints have been taking up all the room in it and I have so many agar transfers that need done!

Do eeet! I need to make a bigger one as well.
I confess... Iβve been a lazy cultivater lately. Bewteeen work and blah blah blah, Iβm just pooped most of the time. Got some shit done this weekend though, and plan on trying to keep on top of it.
Damn winter depression! All I wanna do is lay on the couch and watch Netflix with my booze and ganja. Havenβt even tripped lately because of this complacency.
The gf is making beer brats and sauerkraut tonight! Hope everyone is having a good end of your week.

In an effort to stay sober, I've done more myc work in the last 3 days than I've done in the last month.
Fucking wiped out.

What's a PB?
I confess, I just moved over 1800 pictures of mushrooms off my phone to make room for more... I also confess that I've laid out of work today (no school, and didn't even ask for a sitter) to hopefully spawn some shit that's nearly 95% colonized... being stubborn to finish though

PB=Personal Best. Should have been PW= Personal Worst π but the fact that there were so many on the bottom, most of them were clean. The ones that were a pain to clean I just threw in the compost so it actually should have been more.
Have a great day βworkingβ Caps!

TXBD said: I confess I don't handle the lighter doses very well.
I ate these APEs this morning - 1030
 And I'm still feeling it at 3:00 but certainly dissipating.
I tried to do some SAB work earlier but all I could manage was to remove condensation from my cloudy dishes. I made one 'dirty ape clone' dish and I laughed heartily about it for quite a while. It probably won't be nearly as funny in a day or 2 when I see the rainbow of contams that are certainly in that dish. lol
These lower doses are so analytical.. I prefer to be overwhelmed where I can quiet the mind and just watch.
I also confess that watching mushrooms grow while tripping is just magnificent! Imagining their future growth and visualizing it - like they just want to show you! lol Feeling empathy with them in their environment and their needs for warmth, air, and water.. But then that's where all the over-analytical shit jumps in and I have to start separating feelings from science..
The magical/mystical spooky shit is certainly more fun.. The science/facts are kind of a 'stick in the mud' fun-zapper!
Another confession - I'm too much of a science and hard facts and logic/reason kind of person. I'm trying to loosen-up a bit..
Love Hate Love
I'm kind of the same way.. but it's more setting. These winter months have been so brutal and cold that going outside is not even worth it. I took 1.5g of some cubes Saturday night to watch a movie.. and idk it was good but it was also weird. I felt my brain working harder than it needed to, and just felt uncomfy I guess. Weird thoughts about things. I mean it wasn't 'bad'.. just was strange. I kinda was just ready for it to be over. I just think this is because when I take a low dose like that... its usually a day at the beach, q nice bike ride/hike on a path.
ANYTHING outdoors on a sunny day is asking for good vibes. Chilling in the hammock watching the sunset (fuck I cant wait for summer). Excited for this backpacking trip I'm going on as well in a few months.. that's going to be a wonderland.
Anyway, guess my point is that anything low.. I need to be outside to and my mind becomes distracted in the best of ways by how beautiful the sun is, the grass.. the animals.. all of that. Opposed to being in my room thinking about weird shit lol.
On higher doses, I dont really think it matters if you're outside or inside because you're just like in this fucking bliss of a mindfuck that everything is different from what you see before you taken them. You could stare at your ceiling fan and it turns into another world type of stuff.
But that's just me. I have never had an ego death. Maybe one day. But I have learned so much about myself and things off a low dose and going for a bike ride in a forest trail and admiring the beauty of it all and being consciously aware that this is what it is and I'm not actually 'hallucinating' it, if that makes any sense. Lol.

I have more difficult times on low doses than ultra high doses... when you say "higher doses", what do you mean exactly? My sweet spot seems to be 10-14 dry grams in a tea

Like i said, I've never dosed high enough to have an ego death. The most I've ate was 4g.. and it was very intense. I was in a perfect mindset and outside with a few close friends by the pool and a bonfire.
I have a pretty strong mind. If I focus on something hard enough I can get pretty deep. I've never taken a "high" dose and laid in bed and tried to think. I really really enjoy being outside and being in nature and being in bliss by our beautiful life were surrounded by.
But... I have never taken an extremely high dose either because I always had to buy them and it was always a group thing and we would all buy like an 8th. Now that I have my own shoeboxes going.. and my own 'unlimited' supply.. who knows what might just happen

I feel ego death, and trip level is super subjective, person to person, species to species, and and batch to batch, also set and outside feelings/pressure matter a lot.
I've had ego death on as low just shy of 2 grams of cubes, and as high as 5 grams with no ego death, Ive had more intense trips on 7 grams of cintulus than 8 grams of cubes, it really all depends. I heard that BMW drivers drive like dicks cause they have not experienced ego death:)
I'm with caps, I personally prefer fewer higher doses than lots of small doses, cause either way you can get into bad mind space. But I feel the deeper mindset and understanding of the world around me is better on higher dose to get out of the bad spirals that can be fallen into. Like a humbling safety net. But if shit hits the fan I just lay back and try to focus more on how I am feeling, and less on what I'm thinking, but these experiences can be very helpful to embrace the difficult concepts to grasp that people hide from themselves day to day.

I like it DEEP! Lol, no choice in the matter: we're GONE! I do find it easier to get further on lower doses with concentration and intent... too much work for me, next to the uncomfortable anxiety that comes with being in the static between channels lol
