0.05gr dried semps per gummy?
you should consider capsules for those microdoses and add other healthy powders/vitamins to it; it will save you a lot of space.

with turmeric and black pepper.

Quote:

Combining the spice with black pepper may help increase your body's ability to absorb turmeric's beneficial compounds. A substance in black pepper called piperine, when combined with curcumin, has been shown to increase bioavailability by 2000%.

Curiosity of the day: it's possible to synthesise MDMA via black pepper, yep.

Tapioca or corn starch and freeze them, that's what I do, for safety.


I should get free olives for this marketing...

I’m pretty sensitive, I mostly microdose or low dose and haven’t done a big dose yet, but yes, capsules are probably the next investment later this year.

Very pretty capsules with the turmeric at one end. Stylish!

I love making and sharing gummies, but ya, capsules are far more straight forward and easier to make. I make 0.05 actives by blending with lions mane at 9:1 and stuffing 0.5 grams of the blend per 00 capsule.

These tools for stuffing really help get them packed full. This one in particular.

I was not aware of these tools.

I think my caps are 0 and I’ve just been using  the plastic needle cover from a syringe to pack them. I finally just bought one of those capsule loading things though, was definitely worth getting.

I have a slow variety. I found it frustrating at first. Now I’m appreciating the tempo. I can travel for a week or two and they will be fine. I can have a daily fresh supply.  I can start another grow project and not be concerned with what day I need to do the next move with semps. Anything they need can wait a few more days.

Top fruited oats, cased with peat/verm/buffer, pasteurized at 160 for 2 h.

Really happy to be growing semps finally. Currently awaiting colonization of my first 3 shoeboxes. heres my spawn.

I went back into one of the cultures to do some digging.
@RockinRobot I have a lineage from you but am not sure of the provenance. I understand some of these lineages are the results of joint efforts by a handful of growers. I cleaned the cultures and put them to grain. they seemed very solid to my eye. Alas, all 3 shoeboxes ended up failing just as they were nearing full colonization. The odd thing is that one of the boxes, which was spawned with faht's lineage same day, also failed at the exact same time as the other two.
All of the cultures look totally clean and there were no readily discernible patterns or anomalies. the only thing I noticed was some excess condensation and temp swing ring, which to me is not really a deal.
So that's the issue I'm having. just enigmatic broad failure, which is the worst.
All of the plates looked and still look quite healthy and robust.

@Reverendmyc I have your lineage although I can't remember if it was the "fast" or "slow" line; I get them confused and I know you are tired of getting the same question. I am propagating yours currently. I know you and Rockin were/are collaborating but to what extent and how I don't know so you'll kindly forgive me. This will probably sound silly to you.

I took out faht's line again a few days ago and it is showing promising almost totally uniform radial growth.

here is a transfer taken from faht's line.

forgive the poor wrapping job, I am getting back into the swing of things with petris.

Just wanted to give an update and keep up with the conversation.

So tl;dr I ran 3 distinct semp lineages and all failed. Growth was fluffy and even as expected, if not a tad rapid. For now I have gone back to spore, but mojave pointed out that these jars were displaying some "climbers" or climbing tendency on the walls of the jar above the grains.. it was very minimal so i didn't pay attention to it. this is just one example. so, i am still developing my eye for exotics spawn and semp plates.
