P. natalensis AIO bag grow log

Hey guys! Just wanted to share another project with you. This was an AIO grow bag bought online from a vendor. I totally understand that these things are overpriced, but I love experimenting and thought I'd give it a shot to see what the fuss was about.
The bag was inoculated with LC from another vendor, risky. I have since cleaned up my practices, but I think it was safe to say that I got lucky and this bag made it.
The bag took a while to show any signs of mycelial growth, but when it did, I noticed that the mycelium was already spreading throughout the bottom, jumping from the birdseed to the bottom of the "substrate layer". I did a controlled break and shake, where I just broke up and mixed the bottom so all the birdseed could colonize first. I waited like a week, and noticed the bottom had fully colonized. This is when I did the full break and shake, and after mixing the contents thoroughly, I tamped it down all around from the outside of the bag. I compressed the substrate so the top was flat and it had a cylindrical shape. This ended up taking only another week to fully colonize. After this, I let it go for another couple days until I saw clusters of mycelium showing up on the sides of the bag. The whole way around was colonized, and the mycelium was THICC, no patches of substrate anywhere. All white. I then proceeded to dunk this cake for 24 hours, then rolled it in vermiculite
This then went into a freshly set up water tub

After 36 hours with the lid closed, the mycelium has grabbed enough of the verm that I started to maintain the surfacy conditions
  
I am still debating whether or not I should crack the lid, it has some play and I think allows for fae when fully closed, so I think ill leave the lid closed for now, especially if the dew starts shrinking/evaporating
I am overall excited for this cake and hope the strategy of taking it out and rolling in verm pays off vs fruiting it in the bag. Thanks for reading!

Excellent job so far. It's always a gamble but it looks like yours may pay off. Good luck!

Thanks Way! 
I've put this same LC on agar and cleaned it up. It is doing well now.
Is it worth keeping if this goes well? Or should I just start fresh masters with clones of the best fruits, assuming this goes well?
Thanks for the time peeps, really means a lot

Up to you really.
I like to just find some clones that produce well for me and keep running those. You can always take a spore print if you want to "reset" the genetics and get a culture with more genetic diversity to search for more clones.
Maybe your LC will perform better than any clones you end up taking though.

24 hours later. The mycelium is growing thick all around the block. The surface is still dewey, and I find myself misting only once or twice a day. I feel like I am dialing this in pretty good. I freaking love water tubs
 
Pictures taken around 2 and a half hours after misting I apologize for the redundant post but I am feeling good and high after eating some aborts and just wanted to share the progress

Still maintaining the block. The overlay is super thick now and the surface of the overlay is making the water droplets stick together...I am doing my best to maintain the surface droplets. Still misting only once a day. Waiting for pins. Hoping for signs of life, a pin, anything. Really only 5 days old. I need more patience

Here we go! First natalensis pins ever! They're so cute. So far all on the top.
 
Fingers crossed for a good pinset here. Been really wanting to try nats for a while.

Some shots today! The pinset is still filling out. This side looks great. The other side, a little lonely

It is showing signs of life so I do hope that this side pins too. I am happy with what I have right now though. The side that's pinning is the side that faces the window, but the blinds are almost always shut. I did have it open a couple days prior, so maybe they want more fae? I flipped the position of the tub so now the blank side faces the window, also running the window open here and then
The composition of the bag is: A "5 grain mix"??, coir, vermiculite, a "calcium and mineral blend"??, and their manure blend, which is like manure cut with coir and verm. All ratios are unknown. Just for anyone curious. It was marketed as a "manure-lovers" bag. I've never done manure before, and from what I read around here I think it's supposed to be pasteurized, not sterilized? I wish to do a proper manure tek sometime in the future.
At least now I think ill be keeping this culture and seeing how it does in tubs. I do wonder if the manure makes a difference. Might try another bag with my golden teacher clones that I'm culturing right now. So glad I'm on my own

Not even 24 hours later, the caps decided to open. I am optimistic as I read somewhere here that they usually like to throw the veil early and continue growing after that, so even though they're currently the size of my pinky, I think they will get a bit bigger, at least I hope. The caps are very small. Unsure if it's my genetics or if they want more FAE. Not gonna panic, gonna keep everything the way it is for now.

Thanks 
They don't seem to be sporing at all, so I'm unsure if they are fully mature or still growing? I think I might let them go over the weekend if they still show growth, this cake is still trying to shoot pins. Might have to harvest as they grow
I am a lightweight, 1g of my teachers puts me at level 1 borderline level 2. I was gonna take 5g fresh nats at first, but considering doing the whole 10g fresh for a 1g equivalent dried dose. I've been to level 2 years ago, but never level 3.
I have schizophrenia (possibly schizoaffective disorder) but so far my experience of dosing with cubes has been nothing short of a saving grace, the biggest problem I have is anhedonia and feeling nothing, just doing nothing and being in my thoughts. Psilocybin completely smashes through this depression and I've been motivated to keep clean, eat healthy, and focus on things I like to do, and the voices in my head have so far not intensified because of it. Even feeling some anxiety on the comedown, I still have the afterglow effect that really puts me in a good mood. This stuff makes me feel better than any medication I've taken, and so far has not put me into any psychotic states.
I am interested in reaching at least level two, maybe three. I'm hoping 10g fresh nats will put me at a solid level two. Or should I try just 5g to see the potency and go from there? Unsure of how I should dose this, I usually never go more than a gram of cubes. A lot of people's baselines seem to be like 3.5g for a decent trip. I feel that might be overkill for me.

Okay. Some of the caps are greying and starting to lose their color. I can't tell if these are sporing, but this is the undersides

I might harvest the big ones later today when I get home again from work, leave the still growing ones on until they grow some more. I don't know how much longer I can keep the big ones on there until they deteriorate
  
Also got this strange mutation. Part of the gills seems to be sticking out of the cap? I'm so confused as to what this is. It seems to be part of the mushroom and not contamination. Looks like a mini brain coming out of it. Might put that on agar and grow it out.

 Before the harvest
 After. I left some on to mature in the next day or so, and will pick them accordingly. Split some stems accidentally, Saved maybe 4g-5g fresh so far. The next pull Ill save aside 5g more for a 10g fresh dose soon.

65.47g wet. Still plenty of mushrooms to go on this first flush

Last night was thoroughly stoned off some GT. Couldn't resist. I grabbed another 26.17 g wet. Total first flush is 91.64g wet so far. Hoping to get at least 20g more.

I think I'll do a natalensis omelette tonight. I don't have any work tomorrow, so I'll have all the time in the world tonight to enjoy it. A little scared. Will post my trip report here.

Screw it, I just went ahead and harvested most of them. What's left I'll leave on so I can have some fresh to microdose.
Total first flush=116.72g wet, with around 10g-20g wet on the side to eat fresh

Even though it wasn't really a conventional grow, I'd like to thank everyone that not only stopped by but also thank the people that make up this amazing forum. I'm still learning but taking the steps forward.
Now, it's time for the FRESH NATS. I was gonna do an omelette, but I just came back from a big dinner, and I don't want to eat an omelette right after a bunch of Chinese food. I decided to just chew and chase with Arizona tonic. I had to pound them and hold my nose shut. I REALLY don't like the taste of shrooms, which is weird, because I do like to eat mushrooms. There is something about the actives that tastes a little bitter to me, and combine that with the overpowering mushroom flavor, and it's just no good in my mouth. Needless to say, the deed is done.
Just about to go to my car and smoke two fat bowls. This might be the only time tonight I even make it to my car
Gonna play some Destiny 2 while I wait. Should be coming up as soon as I end a raid. Then I got some old EDM playlists to listen to. Here we go! I'll try to check in often.

its been 1hr and 48 minutes. Definitely feeling light and airy, different than cubes. Very clear-headed. No nausea. Almost thinking I am sober, but definitely got the enlarged pupils. No visuals or anything so far.
Wondering about the potency of these. They definitely work, but I'm still only at level 1 definitely. Aren't they supposed to be stronger than cubes?
I feel under it's effects but its so clear headed it's the strangest sensation ever.

I dunno. I definitely took the 10g, maybe this batch turned out a bit weaker than normal? I definitely will still enjoy them. I was just sitting on the toilet thinking, "God, I could go OUT to this".
Cubes? I am childlike and giddy but heavy and usually keep myself in for this reason.
Nats? This feels mature, clear minded, instead of a million pounds I feel lighter than helium. Like I could go out and do activities on this.
Maybe my dose wasn't that big. Maybe it's time to try 1.5g nats? I wasn't expecting this clarity but I am loving this none the less. Compared to 1g cubes I would have to say I do like the puppy like state cubes puts me in. This feels like the bigger sibling. The more mature mushroom. The mushroom you can go out to the club on. I can't do that with cubes. No confusion, just clarity. I am definitely under the effects of psilocybin. My pupils are still big. Think I might go out for another bowl. Might need to up the dose for those visuals.

Hell yeah! I'm working on growing some nats right now so it's nice to know I have such a different trip to look forward to.
Testing the waters is definitely the best move rather than thinking you may have taken too much going in. Now you know what to expect and the next time will be even better. I'd probably bump it up but I like barely being able to see when I'm tripping lol.

Hahaha that sounds crazy! I definitely think I'm ready to hit level 2 possibly 3!
I wasn't expecting it to be so different than cubes. I ended up crashing at the 5 hour mark unfortunately, I think this is just due to the fact that I am so used to sleeping early for work, plus the second bowl of pot made me INCREDIBLY tired for some reason. I can't speak much for the afterglow since I've been taking doses of cubes throughout the week and still riding their afterglow. I heard there's little afterglow on nats but I can't properly assess that.
I think I would prefer cubes for a 1g dose, and these nats I would definitely take a 2g maybe 3g dose. The most profound effect was the mental clarity I experienced. Like you definitely feel it but you're not swaying or fumbling steps, if it's like that at higher doses that would be so nice. Visuals with extreme mental clarity.
Would definitely recommend this for outdoor activities at low doses. Feels like an every day mushroom. I'm gonna try 2g possibly 3g dry next time. I feel like I need to do a proper level 2-3 trip and post that here. I'll plan that for sometime next week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday.
In the meantime, I'd like to thank everyone who popped in and got this far. Really appreciate the time taken out your day to read this. Definitely more things to come in the future!

Decided to add just a little more to the pile. The rest are going into the 25g fresh I need for the next time around.

Brings my total 1st flush weight to:137.67 wet, with 10g fresh already consumed and possibly 10g-20g left on the cake as small mushrooms still slowly growing

10g Fresh is probably less than 1g dry. I usually do 1 1/2 - 2g dry nats for a good L2-3 trip You would probably need 30g fresh for cubes so they definitely more potent.

Thanks for the info. Would 20g wet suffice? I have an extra 10g wet on top of that. What dose should I take? 20g? 25g? or 30g?

Thanks for the info again! Really appreciate it.
So I am actually going to be busy later this week, so it's looking like today is the only day I can do this.
So once I get back from work, it's gonna be a second attempt, this time with 20g wet natalensis.
This time I will make the omelette. I'm not gonna cook the mushrooms, I'm really just gonna cook the omelette then sprinkle the fresh nats inside it and close it up then eat it with Franks Red Hot.
See ya'll in 4 hours!

Have you taken into account your tolerance level? Might have some trouble experiencing strong effects as from what I read you've taken a few doses recently.
Hopefully not though, do let us know.

You know, I really did not take that into account. The most I have been taking at a time is 1g cubes, and I did do that a couple times last week. This is the first time I've had psilocybin since I was 19 years ago
Honestly, I'll still give it a go, but if I miss out on visuals I can always wait and try again. I really enjoy level 1 so I know i won't be disappointed regardless.
If I do hit level 1 only though I'll take a break. Man I'll be so disappointed if my tolerance builds up fast like that

Eggs/Italian Seasoning/Parmesan/Fresh Natalensis/Franks Red Hot
This came out actually really delicious. Even though the mushrooms aren't cooked by any means, it goes SUPER well with the Italian flavors. They taste like button mushrooms now! So yummy!
I think ill be doing this method from now on. 3 eggs makes a perfect size omelette for 20 grams wet chopped up
I also took into consideration what stockw said. I think I might do this then not touch psilocybin for a whole week. I have been enjoying the benefits of the shrooms and I'd like to space out my doses more, maybe instead of dosing 1g here and 1g there, maybe do one good trip then ride the afterglow for a week or two. I've been having no negative side effects that I'm aware of so far, everything has been kosher.
About to finish the omelette. Not gonna hope for anything, just gonna ride out whatever's gonna come to me.

I think I will take a break after this. I honestly didn't know tolerance built up so quickly in partaking. This feels the same as last time, just a bit stronger. I am still enjoying tho. Very light on the body. No visuals. Positive feelings. Still in control. I feel noodley. Exactly what I want from this drug.
Still level 1. That's okay for me. I am still making positive steps in my life and keeping up with my responsibilities. I've noticed a change in headspace since dosing with psilocybin. Like my baseline is different, like not unfamiliar, it feels familiar. Like the headspace I had when I was a kid. It feels warm, inviting, but most of all: I feel stable. I think that's the weirdest thing. Like ever since I started this journey by seeking psilocybin out, I've been getting my shit together. My place has been tidy for weeks now. I am communicating with my family, and I don't hate it. My delusional thoughts are pretty much absent and I am focused on the here and now. I once thought having schizophrenia was a death sentence. Now here I am full of life, ready to live forward. I need to work on being more grateful to people and do more self care.
You may laugh at my little level 1 doses; But for me, it's perfect. I don't need to be the best or the most skilled. As long as I live life, that's okay. I get to breathe and that's all anyone could ever ask for.

You know, I'm just here vibin and dancing to music. Everything is going good. I might dose more psilo to keep this vibe rolling till the night. I did not expect today to turn into a one man all day party but here we are. Absolutely vibing to EDM with nothing but positivity. Still feel light and airy. No visuals but I totally dont feel like I'm missing out. Wish I could share this with someone. Not disappointed at all. Spotify is putting out some absolute bangers right now.

I don't get a lot of visuals from Nats but they are so very spiritual and emotional for me. I do get some CEV but never did large enough dose for any open eye visuals. I'm a lightweight though.

So I think it's over.
It kind of left me abruptly, and I'm left feeling a little numb, emotionless, and have a little brain fog. This is probably due to my tolerance being built up. So I think I'll take the advice and abstain from shrooms for maybe a good week maybe two, while my brain resets.
Overall, I am still in a very positive headspace and consider this just a minor setback. Overall the feeling was very positive, I never realized how much I love to bop to music.
I feel some sort of afterglow, but it's really muted from this brain fog. I still feel a bit light and airy, just no clarity, things are a bit muddy and my senses are dulled.
I know this feeling isn't permanent, but I could see how this would freak someone out, thinking they did some major damage to their brain
I'm kind of glad I didn't dose more. I'm at a good place right now, heck as I'm writing this I feel a little of myself coming back. But my brain is definitely telling me to chill out. I will oblige.
Time to go to Mickey D's and nab some chicken nuggets.
Peace and love to everyone

I've only done cubes but I usually have to go have a meal or work out after coming down, I get a little edgy. Then the next day or so the mental clarity comes back and I feel so engaged and bright.
Nuggets are always a good move

Just a quick update: I know I was feeling a bit off after yesterday's trip.
I was caught off guard because I wasn't expecting the fun and good feelings to just fade away into numbness like that.
I'd just like to report that today, I am not emotionless, nor am I depressed. I had some emotions today, being impatient at work, crying to good music, smiling at people and engaging with coworkers. I even made my boss laugh today.
Today so far has been productive mentally, and to be honest I can't say that I feel amazing or anything after yesterday, but I do feel "lifted", if that makes any sense. Like, I don't feel high, but my mind feels light and not foggy. I still definitely enjoy the music.
We're good. Everything is good. Life is good.
The next two weeks gonna focus on my cakes and my agar plates, build a nice stash, and go for another round next week or maybe around Christmas. Waiting for my Dad to stop lingering and go so I can finally start a second dunk on the nat cake.

Current dry weight for nat stash: 16.46g.
I am happy with this.
Done the good ol' fashioned way: Under my kitchen fan, on paper towel, and some time. Finished with desiccant. Kudos to that Shroomery post for that tip.
Sorry for posting a lot. This is my first forum, so I'm unsure of how to act or what to do really. I figured this would be a good way to diary myself, so I can assess myself and just see how I grow.
In other grow news: My GT clone LC seems to have taken! It is growing nicely. Possibly ready by Christmas to impregnate some cakes.
Got a lot of MSS PF cakes coming and going, got some Mazapatec (which was the strain I first tried out when I was doing this in my parent's house, lol not smart.) Working with P. subtropicalis as well.
Tampanensis cakes consolidating, almost ready to fruit. Planning on tamp stone run in the new year.
Speaking of, I can spend this coming paycheck however I like! Presto PC inbound, as well as birdseed and the jars for it. A little afraid of it even though I have worked with one in the past. Always paranoid of it blowing up or something.
I have APE on agar, but it is going a lot more slower than the others. Still working on it. I selected this strain for my first monotub. I plan to use a Pastywhyte's ez dialed mono.
Considering getting the same AIO grow bag as the one I did here to play around with again. Don't know what I'll try on it.
And that's pretty much it! Thanks if you got this far haha
Peace

I was initially afraid that I might have pulled too many small ones on the first flush, but after the second dunk, this doesn't seem like the case. The stalled growers have continued to grow, and even more pinsets are forming around the sides and on the top. Pulled only 3 aborts on the whole cake. Hoping for another 100g wet here.

Love your trip report. I have some nats in jars right now. Hope to put them to bulk in a week or so.
