So I got a culture of Jack the Ripper (JF x Albino Riptide) and it colonized grain slowly. I spawned to a shoebox on 6/17 in 3.5:1 CVG with another half quart pseudo casing. It still hasn't colonized through the top today and I'm wondering why. Should I be concerned?

Fruit flies or fungus gnats? Fruit flies = look up an apple cider vinegar trap. Fungus gnats = mosquito bits.

I’m not sure to be honest..but the apple cider vinegar trap doesn’t seem to be working very well.

Edit…googled…def fruit flies. I have like 3 apple cider traps, I have a catchy from Amazon running…I can’t get rid of them! They driving me insane!

Find the source and get rid of it. Fruit flies like fruit, especially rotten fruit. Don't forget the dish soap in the traps.

Hey everybody

I'm a beginner, i have took multiple doses with the last one being 2 g. I didn't experience nothing except some moderate nausea.

This 2 g was the biggest dose i took, before that i did smaller ones. I did fresh ones too just to eliminate my fear that i didn't dried them well and therefore they didn't work. Same results, again nothing.

Mushrooms did grow and they looked as they should. I guess! I did have some possible contamination while they were in jars and early pinning, but i guess that all didn't matter because i got fruits? Or it did :eek:

I have read the thread, paraphrase, "why mushrooms didn't work" and all i can try it seems is to mix all my seperate flushes into one big one. And yes, have tried from each of those and nothing happened. :frown::confused:

If someone has any precise diagnosis of all this please share.

Just feel so disappointed now :frown:

EDIT: Please someone with some experience if possible. If you call yourself . noob pass this one, please. PLEASE.

You build up tolerance really quick with shrooms.

I suggest to take a 14 day break at minimum and then use 2 grams (dry) as an initial dose.

Then report back.

But you gotta dry them. Fresh shrooms don't survive 14 days.

Hi killreflection

For a long time, I couldn't trip at all due to being on SSRIs.  Thanks to microdosing, I quit the SSRIs, but it took maybe 3 months for their effect to fully disappear.

I then tried tea and lemontek, each time using about 4g dry, but due to the awful taste I was filtering out all the solids and still didn't trip.

Since then, I've been making chocolates (plenty of discussion on here re recipes) with 1g powdered dry shroom in each, and 4 of those bad boys hit the spot nicely (not wild, but mild visuals, floaty feeling, enhanced audio, and personal insight).  Reading others' trip reports, I'd probably need 6g to truly lose myself, but that might just be that my shrooms are on the weak side.

Suggestions:

If you're taking any prescription meds, check they don't attenuate the shrooms.
If you're not eating all the shroom, consider chocolate (it really does get rid of the taste).
Don't eat anything for a few hours before dosing (I'm not sure how important this is, but I do it anyway).
Some people are more tolerant, some shrooms are less potent.  If you combine them before consumption (to achieve reasonably consistent strength), try starting at 3g dry, then increase by increments of 1 or 2g (leave a week or 2 between attempts) until you find the right dose for you.

Finally, if you find you need a LOT (say 6g) to trip on your current harvest, bear in mind that your next one might be stonger, so treat them with the respect they deserve.

Janus62 gave some solid advice. Do check that you're not on any medications that interfere with tripping. It's not just SSRI's but some others as well do the same, such as Bupropion for example.

Also, I second waiting a week, preferably two before trying to trip again. Tolerance means that you can take more after an initial dose and, if  it's close to the time that you took the first dose,
but outside the small window where it will have an effect (in my case about forty minutes), then further doses have little to no effect. That's one reason why a break is recommended.
Remember too that you'll likely get less than 10% dry to wet weight ratio, so dose accordingly if you are consuming fresh mushrooms.

This brings me on to the last major points that comes to mind - drying and storage of the mushrooms. If you're not going to be consuming them the same day, or maybe the next at most,
I'd recommend drying the fruits in a dehydrator. Set it at around 160F for 24 hours for a decent sized harvest. You can go lower (and longer as some do) for smaller harvests.
The point is to get your fruits truly 'cracker dry.' They may seem dry after say 8 hours but the chances are that they'd be bendy again within a short while and there is still moisture in them.
So cracker dry equates usually to around 160F for 24 hours. Use that as a base.

Then there's storage. I would recommend an airtight container, with some desiccant baggies if you have some, and kept in the dark. You can also grind the dried fruits and put the powder into capsules.
Store them too in an airtight container in the dark. Do the above and you can be confident that your mushrooms aren't losing potency, or at least not enough to be noticeable.

Hi gang. I'm getting shagged by side pins currently in a few of my shoes & 2 monos despite really going to town on compression..

I don't use liners but my method has worked for a while until now. I'm noticing my substrate shrinking when fully colonised which creates a gap between the box & sub, which is what's causing the issues.

I'm trying to trouble shoot the issue if anyone has suggestions I'd hugely appreciate it.

Was thinking about doing what Ralphster did in this grow but not convinced it's a good idea as I've not got a Martha as he seems to, but do have a grow tent. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10688145

TIA :stoned:

More moisture = less shrinkage likely? Unless you just came out the pool then it’s always gonna shrink.

Are you saying the reason for shrinking is due to lack of moisture? Odd phrasing.

Probably no real answer to this, but the edges of my shoeboxes (not sterilite, off brand, ) always dry up first while the center is still wet. I can try to selectively mist just the edges but it works only kinda so-so since I need to get up close and I lose the fine mist effect.

I always get funky stressed myc drying up at the edges, and that's always where the knots first appear.

Wat do

Hi Janus,

Thank you so much for your answer!

I don't take any prescription drugs. Yes, i also was thinking to make something with mushroons as you mentioned. Glad to know that
there is still hope.
only thing is that i'm little scared, for now, to take larger dose. Because i read that aliens will split the sky and Joe Rogan will show up from crack and kiss my forehead and what then??? πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ‘Œ

I'm good with the taste and even with nausea, i'll go through it. I'm just not okay with not to trip.

So, i'll follow your guidance. I start 3g dry next time and if it doesn't work i go 4g next time and so on?

Everything i've read says "start 1g to 1.5g, even that is gonna be big", but shroomery is shroomery. It's so much information, that might be outdated also.

Thank you too as well. As i said to Janus, i don't use any drugs.

I will take a break now for a week and will come back to report what Joe Rogan whispered to me. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I did all by the book, dehydrator, vacuum seal bags, miligram scale, so on that side i did everything as you yourself said. Yep, Walter White reports to duty.

I'll report. And yes, thanks again!!!!
