I confess a cult shirt with a monotub with a beautiful canopy and some rhizomorph on petri dishes would be a start

I confess I can't wait for Sunday. Gonna be spawning a box for the first time in 2 months. I'll never make that mistake again. I would rather throw out spawn cause I couldn't use it than ever go this long without a pin set again.

I confess im about to turn my back yard into a remediation project by building soil on top of the contaminated ground using one big patch, and am having trouble deciding what species to use. The fruits will be discarded for the next two years, and the mycelia will need to be able to survive eastern central US winter as well as pump out significant sized fruits. Im thinking garden giant and hen of the woods. Sub will be woodchips, straw, compost layers with undyed mulch casing.

I don't make a habit of confessing...
Let's just say I've "allegedly" picked up a new addiction.

I confess that is some nice looking growth in funky monkeys jars.
What did you use to inoculate them?

You can flip the lid so that the gasket doesn't stick without additional(I suspect even with less) risk of contamination... Especially in a SAB

I confess I'm barely growing now; have not dosed this year('cept microdosing). I'm tearing down my lab area. Slowly allowing myself to toss plates, and compost grain spawn.
I'm ready if they ever legalize medical production in Canada. If that happens, I'm going big. Till then, I think I'm about done.

@ caps Except for one marking I would have suspected you catnapped my kitty caps! Kittens are awesome little dorks.
I confess, I often don't even know why I still grow sometimes.
It's like I have the urge but the ambition has just been lacking. Then after I'm done with the choirs, I'm feeling pretty stoked untill the next day.
ah great, gotta do transfers tomorrow.  ah great, gotta cook some coir for spawn tomorrow. ah great, gotta wash tubs. ah great, it's grain prep Wednesday. ah great gotta harvest before the sporeplosion.
It used to be oh boy oh boy oh boy, transfer time oh boy oh boy, gonna get some coir prepped, wooohooo Wednesday!!. 
Maybe It's just deep depression with a frosting called labor of love meaning I have no free will and sold my soul too chew drop n roll.

I confess, I've been letting my tubs dry out, rubbing them down with a dry paper towel, then a wet one, and then a dry one again... Haven't seen any trich across likely 6-8 boxes: 2 that had mold actively growing in them before I wiped them out: no soap, iso, nothing... Knock on wood; and NOT A SUGGESTION... Just ate 3g APE in dark chocolate and not sure why... Apprehensively AF too mind you... Interesting

Have a good journey!
I've only had about a gram so far from my recent cultivation, since my experiences 17 years ago, and I've been apprehensive AF too. Trying to do a lot of meditation and pre-work before I trip, but I can't help but feel like I wish I had an experienced guide even though I used to trip frequently and never had a problem. I was hoping to have a full dose earlier this week but it didn't work out. I might just have to take Monday off or I won't have a chance for a while yet. Hoping I don't have a challenging trip, but if I do, I hope it's at least productive.

I try to trip every other weekend at minimum, and go DEEP once every 6-8 weeks... It gets more and more difficult the further I get... Or maybe it's just all delusion and the whole thing is a trip?

I was listening to an interview with Jack Kornfield (Author, Buddhist Practitioner and one of the key teachers to introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West) and he was talking about his experiences studying with zen masters in the jungles of thailand. Ine day after being there for some time he started to feel this anger well up inside him, a rage that he never thought that he had. It took years of meditation and self reflection before it came to the surface and he was able to work on it and resolve the cause.
I guess I'm trying to say, sometimes things get harder before they get better, but you're in good company.

I'm on the uphill side of my own shit, it's accepting the rest of the world: the (perceived) evil, greed and selfishness(hand in hand) and blissful, willing ignorannce... Accepting it, and LOVING it as part of self is difficult...

Tibetan monk Palden Gyatso has experienced horrors most people canβt even imagine. As a political prisoner held by the Chinese government for 33 years, he was beaten, shocked with electric cattle prods, suspended from a ceiling above a burning fire, starved and forced into labor.
When asked what he most feared. He replied that his biggest fear was losing compassion for his torturers.
This is something I've been spending a lot of time thinking about lately, and I believe strongly related to a lot of what you're exploring.
I confess... I'm really easily distracted. Sometimes I'll set up my SAB, go to grab the iso from the closet, find something else and spend an hour doing it before I stumble across my SAB still sitting on the table waiting for me to finish the task.

I confess, something crawled in there and DIED! Holy FUCK! APE poot gone wrong... Knocked something loose in there
I also confess, I TYPICALLY refrain from posting when I'm tripping, bc my already severely damaged filtering mechanism seems to outright take a SHIT all together now! Lol
I had something run across my mind I thought was funny AF...
"Have you seen the growing popularity about the new group vowing to do nothing about anything? They've recently gathered quite a bit of recognition for themselves, and plan on doing even less about it, soon enough... OMFGREGG"
I gots the issues y'all, but I got my eye on me, don't y'all worry one bit!
Myco-related confessions, let's see... I confess to feeling like a bum not spawning more ANY tubs this weekend, but I'm sitting on plenty of meds, and really need the spacetime to devote to gourmets... I really just need a nap though... next weekend will bare plenty of work... hell, I SHOULD be cooking grain NOW for sterilizer run tmrw (today) so it'll be cool by myco day on Tuesday (which is irrelevant bc school is out, and I've no sitter all week anyhow)
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DAD'S OUT THERE...
That being said, let me clarify... I mean DAD'S! Any male can father a child: it takes a REAL MAN to be a dad: whether it's your blood offspring or not(and prolly more so for stepdads really)
I've been fortunate to have gotten both, and a realization/appreciation of the difference between...
to all you sperm donor's out there: it's never too late to nurture a relationship with your child, but DO NOT under ANY circumstances, approach the children you so freely neglected, with any sort of authoritarian expectational energy... you sat yourself out of that position at gate, and now it's your place to sit idle, whilst your child determines where/ or even IF you fit into their lives anymore... have respect for the men who've assumed the position of positive male role model, and display that respect accordingly as an example for your children... if applicable/lucky enough to recognize/have the opportunity to rectify your poor or selfish (or "necessary") decisions
DO NOT APOLOGIZE, you don't get to ask forgiveness, but it can be granted... chances are, apologies, or inquiries for forgiveness will only aggravate and insight negative emotions about the past: this is the present, tmrw is the future... live in those moments, make new memories...
None of this is really life changing for your child: chances are, they've come to terms with your abandonment long ago and REALLY don't want/need your carrying on about it... Move forward: at their pace, if they see fit... if not, find peace knowing you tried...
Make peace with yourself and your decisions: or they'll never be able to
