Its completely different if you chow it fresh straight down The trip is orgasmic.

Damn Mushboy 2.5 every day?! Hurts my brains compartment thinking about that. I enjoy a macro-micro myself (~.5). Was doing .75 for a while and sometimes I'd get bit by a heavy batch and it was interfering with things instead of assisting me. .3-.5 is perfect for my homesteading tasks, art, writing, and side work (refinishing antique furniture, light mechanical work, and carpentry). It seems to override my anxiety condition and PTSD and allows forward focus. No mental traps. Works best for me with the occasional break though. No system to it in that regard. I just wake up some days and it's apparent that it won't be necessary that day. Having spent a decade of my life post-military as a leaving Las Vegas-level functional alcoholic I can relate to feelings regarding the dangers of habituation Mushboy was touching on. Glad it's working out for you serving trippytimes. I can totally see that. Wish I would have had mush in my life when I used to wait tables. Good lord I do...

I never got as high as a gram of ape but I did do around .6g fue a week until I was having a smoke om a break from work and the pavement started fractionating. I decided that it probably wasn't too great of an idea to try and work with oev no matter how mild

Trying to figure out how to light a new room with stacked tubs. I use dual 32w T8 4ft shoplights in my basement but those tubs do not get stacked. Do you think tubs lit from above with these same fixtures would get enough light at the bottom tubs if the lights hung down between rows?
I would think about side lighting them by wallmounting the fixtures in a vertical configuration but that would not help between rows.
I know light intensity falls off dramatically with distance especially with fluoroescent bulbs but I am wondering just how much impact it would have on yield loss for the bottom tubs.

Ive done stacks of tubs in my bedroom with the only light from my ceiling fan and whatever comes thru my blinds. Still get canopies and roughly a dry OZ per quart of spawn if not more. Personally I think most people way over do the lighting. I would never install tube lighting it's simply not worth it.

Hey, I have been growing APE, but I am wondering if they are indeed APE... Because they are HUGE and the yield is BIG... !
Any opinion ?

Those are some weird ones.
Ape seems to have a history of reverting and doing other strange things though. How quick did they pin?

I think next time I have a good week off I'm going to try macrodosing like you did. I've always wanted to try that and see where my mind takes me. Lately the microdoses get me thinking harder about starting to do something I really want to do rather than let life just breeze me around.
I feel a week of being in my own head would do just what you mentioned, reveal some horrors of myself that are keeping me back from doing what I really want.
Gaining true insight to yourself is something I always gain from any trip I have, however within a short while I start to lose the lessons that were taught. To me it seems being face to face with your inner self for a longer period of time would have more a lasting impression on your mental state for better or worse. Or both.
I do think ego death is important and I have had my couple times with that. But to die and be reborn is important to, the inflation of ego after experiencing the death I believe to be a great thing. The thought of yourself you had before generally is much different after the experience so a new inflation could bring about an ego that is helpful rather than hurtful.
For example right now I'm in the thought process of starting my hand at gourmet and medicinal mushrooms which I hope to expand into a business at some point. My current state of ego has been improving towards this venture after the last couple trips I've had but it still lacks that motivation and leans toward the fear of failure even though i've been fairly successful in my mycology attempts thus far. Can't figure out why I can't get myself to start working towards this. Something like a delve into the mind for a week sounds like an opportunity to learn these fears and go around them.
But yeah, I'd like to try that out seems like a ride i'm down to jump on.

Got 9 bags of uncle bens (yes, I know that’s often frowned upon but I’m experimenting with many different teks/strains to see what they highest yield/potency/consistency is) and 7 lb of pasteurized substrate in the mail, if you were to take a wild guess what size mono tub should I get?
Also, will I have better yield layering, or mixing the substrate?

mushboy said: I started microdosing awhile back but it felt like maintenance drug use which doesn't sit well with my mentality especially with the booze addiction. I do not want to feel like I 'need' something to function. So I upgraded to daily macrodoses for awhile because why not?Doing 2.5g almost every day for a few months. It wasnt all pleasant thoughts and sunshine but the horrors of the self rarely are.
I got slightly nutty towards the end tho but for me it had nothing to do with focus or anxiety or stuff most people describe as beneficial side effects. I was doing it to gain a better understanding of who I am. Once that started I was less anxious because I understood myself that much more and could manage my shit appropriately.
Then I tried 1g of ape everyday for a month and that ended with me inflating my ego in the opposite direction and getting a ban from shroomery
See I lost respect of shrooms a year or so ago and regret doing it. I did a death trip of 8 grams or so and I'm 105lbs at the time.... Worst mistake freaked out and didn't know what to do. Now I can't really take them because I give myself to much fear. I can have a great day and the min I think of taking mushrooms I remember that one time... Long story short I felt like a warm hug for the first hour after I ate them. Then out of no where I started feeling this dark dark presence. It was chilling! Then I started vomiting nonstop then blacked out. My husband said I had a seizure<-(MIGHT HAVE MISSPELLED)
so I just don't do them anymore to scared and worryed what might happen. I have heard story's of people actually losing touch with reality. Going crazy. Alot of stuff me personally I don't want to chance it.

Yet to have a bad trip even with stupidly, stupidly high dosages and personally I'm convinced it's because of one of my medications. I take pregabalin for suicide nerve pain but it's also prescribed to people for generalized anxiety disorder and epilepsy so I'm using my dumb dogshit brain to assume it has inhibitory effects. I know on high dosages of pregabalin I feel higher than giraffe pussy.
Perhaps it's just a brain not wired right. Wife sees all sorts of cool shit in the stars I never do. I get fractally lines once in a blue moon in my vision. I do sometimes feel guilt, anxiety and depression a day after though.
