So that was disappointing; but there’s always next time

Second test of my latest grow, Psilocybe Cubensis Golden Teachers. They looked awesome:

But they’re weak as heck! Only tried 2.5g cracker dry admittedly but same sensations as last week: mental body buzz, sort of a headache, no visuals, no music enhancement, no pupil dilation.
I’m probably going to throw the rest of the grow in the bin. Fortunately I’m not out of stock. I’ve got 3 yr old GTs in the freezer, and some incredibly potent B+. Yes folks, B+! I personally love that. Ah well, my Mazatapec spore syringe should arrive soon......
Mush love all, I’m off to grab a pre-rolled joint (I always roll 4) and maybe a glass of wine.
Cheers, DJ Ed

Curious. There's always the off chance of a bad crop... but almost never the entirety of it.
Before tossing them, why not just brew the rest of what you got and sip it down in maybe ~1hr intervals?

Yeah I am reluctant, but I could do with space in the freezer! There’s roughly 80g left. Not sure if I’d want this stronger though, just feels crap. Head is heavy and it’s less effort to just close my eyes! I’ve tried third flush tonight, second flush last week. Maybe the first flush was better hmmm. Reckon I’ll defo throw away the spore prints I made! I might free all my babies back to nature and let them biodegrade in the woods.
Love and peace DJ Ed

Ahem, yes!
I’ve already got fresh agar agar for the Mazatapec spores. Going to nail a single spore culture this time.
Next stop

I think to be safe I’d better revisit the mushroom cultivation forum 👍🏻

So to sum up the weekend,,it hasn’t been one of my most productive:
- Second test of my last grow was weak and poor, so all 3 flushes are now in the bin
- I’m planning to follow Bod’s Easy AF Monotub Tek, that sounds really simple. It uses a coir 650g brick in an insulated 5 gallon cooler. So yesterday, mine turned up a few weeks early. Awesome. But imagine my joy when I realised I’d ordered a 5 litre cooler 😱. 5 gallon is 25 litres! And I’m an engineer! Might be time to find a new career......
- Mazatapec spore syringe arrived yesterday, so soaked 6 quart jars of rye overnight, ready to pressure cook this morning. My pressure cooker has died and will not raise pressure, simply spewing out loads of steam and boiling dry in 15 minutes.
- Put new main beam bulbs in my car yesterday, but they still don’t work and I still have the caption; “Headlamp malfunction - Service required.” So next job is garage, with an approx bill over £1,000
Might be having a glass of wine tonight, folks ✊🏻
It’s a good job I’m not depressed!
Mush love, all DJ Ed
