Hey thanks Chris! Glad it found you in that way. You're one of the kindest, most humble, respectful, friendly/community based members I've found here in both threads and private messages. So appreciate the kind words brother! Means a lot coming from you

Congrats. Sounds amazing. I’m so happy for you.
I was thinking of an ayahuasca ceremony next year in Central America. Since getting that idea I have been doing intensive therapy with somatic experiencing and EMDR, intense meditation, coupled with a psychedelic assisted therapist and both microdosing and tripping at 3.5g+ levels.
The amount of healing has been profound. I am more calm, at peace, centered, open than ever. My depression, anxiety, ptsd all resolved to the point where I can’t even see them in me any more. I have quieted my mind considerably. I listen more and talk less. I am excelling at my job and a great partner to my girlfriend. Everyone around me has remarked at the transition.
So I was thinking of scrapping the trip to Central America. Your post makes me ask what you think based on your experience. Should I still be considering it? Do you think it has the potential to provide a significant impact even after I’ve been doing years of the work I’ve mentioned? I’d love the advice of someone who’s been there who knows what the mushrooms bring.
Hey Blue- thanks man! So happy for you too! That's awesome to hear. Was actually thinking of ya a little when I posted. I know you had mentioned ayahuasca a few months back. Short answer: Yes. I 1000% still think you should go.
I believe we've been on similar journeys- though mine haven't included all that you've done and Aya even told me she wasn't the only path to healing- but she is an extremely powerful tool both spiritually and mentally. Far more powerful than I could have even imagined. Based on my research maybe not the place you mentioned a few months back- but we can talk about that 
I'd like to respond further but it would be a disservice to half-ass my comments about it. If anyone opposes me derailing the Nat thread a little further I can always pm Blue&Orange- but if even one other person gets something out of my comments I'd prefer to drop them here about it. Seeing how this is the Nat thread I figure one or two might enjoy my thoughts as Nats tend to be more about the therapeutic and healing/ bettering one's life than some of the stronger cubes people chase. Lol looking at you milkboy! 

It's getting late where I'm at, and my dogs need a walk but will post back asap- in next the 24- if it's not running the Nat train too far off the track. Much love ya'll!
-MJ  
I look forward to hearing as much as you’d like to share. I’d suggest starting a thread on it in the psychedelic experience subforum for anyone who stumbles by now or in the future. But PM is cool too. As is doing it here.

Hey Blue- Yeah, I realized after I responded last night that the best route would be to post as a trip report/ experience and not sully up the Nat Thread. Don't worry- that's how I'll treat it guys- but will still let ya'll know when posted.
To keep things NATTY... any of ya'll have issues with potency on later flushes? I had a friend fall in love with natalensis- then out of love with some bigger fruits from a later flush- to back in love when we tested the later flush potency hypothesis with some first flush fruits again. I love how nats don't ever want to stop growing- but I may start treating them like cubes with 2 flush pump and dumps. Lmk if anyone has had similar experiences with later flushes or can confirm that's actually a thing. I know I've read on this site that later flushes can be weaker. Any confirmation would be rad as it's a tested theory for nats and me right now. thanks!
All aboard the nat train!!! Sorry for my slight derail- but was only out of love

I have tested up to 3rd flush and haven't noticed any drop in potency. I still have 3 more flushs to try. I got 6 flushes from each tub before calling it quits. It will take me a while to get through them as I have decided to start waiting at least 3 weeks between trips. I was only waiting a week between, but took a month off and wow what a difference. I have noticed the cube looking pheno has been less than stellar when comparing to the green snake looking pheno.
Ps. Don't worry about the detail. Make sure you give us a link to your report. I been wanting to try aya, so any info I can get on it is really interesting.

Yeah- it's so wild they'll go 6 no problem- and still be producing at a high level. Was wondering if it was a tolerance issue as well. I remember when I started growing and was testing often there came a point where I thought everything I was growing was weak- when in reality I just needed a tolerance reset  Will be interesting to see what you find on the later ones BW! Keep us posted!
I love to hear that about the green eyed snakes as well! Taking a break to integrate my aya experiences- but the GES are the my favorite pheno so far and would love to continue working with them. Knowing they're for sure on the stellar side makes it easier to want to keep 'em around.
And will definitely let ya'll know when posted on the aya. The weekends getting away from me a little- but will be sooner than later

Big mushrooms are hit or miss also. If you happen to get a big fruit that’s weak it kinda ruins things.
Composing a dose with pieces from multiple fruits will make things more consistent.

To avoid this fruit to fruit variations nowadays I powderize everything even sometimes different species together like this after one test I know the average potency...

yes, but how do you keep the powder from oxidation and potency loss? pressure?freezer? or?

I just put them in a airtight glass jars with a little thing to keep food dry, but for very long term maybe it can be vacuum sealed or some people put other gaz to avoid any oxygen & oxidation..

You can also powderize, make a big batch of tea, and freeze it in ice cubes trays. That way who know the exact dose you are taking each time, have each ice cube equally potent and can store for over a year.

I powder, capsulize, put in Mylar pouch with oxygen absorbers and moisture absorbers and then heat seal the Mylar pouch. Overkill? Maybe.
Looking for better long term powder storage. I don’t want tea as a storage.

It's mycelium. Can be from genetics or I think it could also be to little fae?
Please correct me if I'm wrong ^^

You aren't wrong, but I postulate a third rationale of: they aborted and are being reclaimed by the mycelium.

Here is another bigger SB ready to start giving fruit, and a strange little mutant. It looks like an upside down 🍄

Interesting, what's been your favorite mix of species so far?

70/30 natal/tamp was pretty good.
Haven’t tried any other combos yet.

Nice! I bet Semp/Nat would be pretty wild!
