i confess i have about twenty fully colonized spawn jars sitting in the corner that i can't seem to give a fuck about. I look at them everytime i walk in the room and think "you really should .... nah. fuck it"
i feel like once you go black... in myco world is once you go BAGS (i confess, I'm not awake yet and haven't started the coffee)

I have an actual embarrassing confession. Please don't judge too harshly, I laughed pretty hard at my own ignorance.
Ok, I've only made LC a couple of times and it actually turned out good. I just wanted to try something new this time so I checked out Pasty's EzLC. Its a great write up if you read it properly but I read this....
Quote:
So the first thing you need to do is mix up some agar. First you need to decide how much LC you plan to make. 120 ml is a nice amount, more than enough to knock up a pile of grains or bags, and if you do this in widemouth half pints, 120 cc fills it pretty good.
So for 120 ml final LC I want to be using about 2-4 grams worth of nutes, be it potato or malt etc. I then make up about 50 ml of water with 2-4 grams nutrition and 1 gram agar. This puts the agar at 2% and nutrient rich.
I have tailored the above recipe for use of one LC. You will probably want more than that, especially if you plan to use this to test cultures or get bored of growing the same thing all the time.
I had never added agar in it before but who am I to question the mushroom Guru? thought maybe it would just make it a bit thicker. I mixed up 2 litres water with 10 grams of agar agar (which is actually less than 1g per 120ml) and the LME.
So I confess I follow directions really really badly.

Guess I'll be melting and pouring more plates?

Mateah said: I confess one night I ate 10-15g dry don't remember exactly, then 2h later when I was able to move I crawled over to my grow kits at that time that were flushing and harvested 280g fresh which I inserted all of it into my big face opening. For this next part keep in mind this night I was determined to go places, I didn't know where I just knew I needed a lof of fuel for the place I was going for. A week prior I had read that ~60% of Psilocin goes out the pee pee. So I had a big fancy empty whiskey bottle to my disposal this particular night.
Stop reading and go away now if you're sensitive 
I collected the first batch, let it cool down, and once again use by big face opening to ingest the natural tea. Went for batch nr two as well, but at this point I had real trouble ingesting because I had difficulties determining If the bottle opening was connected to my big face opening. I had the sensation all the time that I was putting the bottle all the way through my head, really weird. I had to trust my instincts on this one. Every gulp felt like different consistency, texture, everything. One gulp was thick like honey, next was light as air, next one was like syrup and so on.. No problems really. But now things started getting weirder and weirder. I suddenly just realized wtf am I doing? And threw the bottle on the floor I'm not sure what that would equate to in terms of Psilocin ingestion but it was a lot hahahaha. Don't fucking judge me, he without sin cast the first stone.

I heard that this is how anciant tribes used to do it. The chief would take the mushrooms then the clan would drink his urine to trip...

Sunnydayze - I'm confused on what went wrong with your LC? I'm guessing u added too much agar? I was about to try this tek. I normally only use honey for liquid cultures but I was wanting to switch things up so I'm curious.

I'm still confused lol I'm guessing the agar would be from the colonized agar plate, not to add agar to your LC. According to my calculations it seemed like I should add almost 17 grams of agar, but I only added 10. Unless I absent mindedly added extra, I have no idea.
This is the full tek.

It's not for everyone

Yo I still don't get it, what's with the agar in the LC and at those percentages? That's agar not LC
I know I'm missing something here but I just don't get it honestly if someone could explain what's with the agar in the LC that be nice

Hahaha thats pretty funny, time to pour plates i guess!
My confession I made some pan cyan LC and used it on some grains I decided to hydrate some with manure and compost tea, then i thought what the hell so I hydrated another batch with manure and compost tea, added nutritional yeast, BRF, Rye flour, and malt powder and dissolved it all in then hydrated my oats with that, im curious what adding all that extra nutrition does, I totally expect it to stall or contaminate though

Read the TEK that I linked above. I believe it is to make the agar first and then to put into your LC. I added the agar powder to the LC.

yes. agar and lc are different items in his write up. some people do put a little agar in their lc in hopes that it'll stick to the grains better though. I don't but if you do you'll want to ad a very little amount. Maybe .5% or so.

I confess that watching the Alex Jones returns podcast on Joe Rogan the night before tripping caused the biggest headache ever by hour 5.
Was like, I don't wanna go down that rabbitt hole tripping with that in the back of my mind.
5 hours later, huge headache from connecting the never ending dots and the fucked up possibilities.

Should have had the lucy or Mateah's pee instead.

you're supposed to put your culture on the agar, let it grow out then add sterile water and all the extra nutes on the plate seep into the sterile water and the culture grows in the liquid

I'm pretty sure pasty's ezlc tek is to make a nutrient rich no pour in a jar,colonize it with a clean transfer,then add sterilized water to the jar and mix. Maybe I read it wrong the first time I tried it awhile back.
Edit:trypt got it.
