Yeah, that tub looks pretty sad.  Blurry zoomed out pictures don't make contam id easy though.  And I'm always hesitant to say something that could be bruising is a contaminate in this context.

Neither the green or the mushrooms grew in five days.  Statistically, most growers are of a population more likely to be colorblind.  Cameras lie.  Etc etc.

I would pick the large fruits and see what it does.

I wanna start slow. Or should i not take it slow? What do you recommend, i noticed and loved your advices since i'm on forum.

But let's say i don't want go too much. Or not? :laugh:


I think people are on the money to start with about 2g. Less than a gram and I’m not sure it will be worth it. It may cause more anxiety than anything else sub 1g.

I’m going to throw this out there, not as a direct recommendation,  but as what I myself do. I give people 3.5g to start with, because you’re basically guaranteed a full experience that way. The danger there is that people like my fiance have had heroic trips off .5g, which I didn’t think was possible until it happened. But she has abnormal neurochemistry. If your brain functions more or less normally and you’re not on medication, 3.5g is a pretty safe dosage for a full mushroom experience without going off the deep end or wishing you’d taken way more.

My first 4-5 experiences all I remember is that I wished I had been brave and taken a lot more, but then I’d get scared next dose and stick with something lower.

For safety reasons, I’d say take 1-2g and set yourself up for the most relaxing evening of your life.

You can always eat more an hour in if you’re feeling froggy.

Do not attempt to remove the moisture, you’ll just ruin the jar.

I’d go ahead and inoculate them. As long as everything is done properly it won’t give you any issues.

My first time prepping WBS, I messed up and my jars were way too wet, worse than yours.  I went ahead and nocc’ed them up anyway.  I constantly shook them like almost everyday.  All 14 jars turned out great, zero issues

Quick question. How long should it take to see mycelium growth after innoc'ing millet jars? I followed the basic process for prepping millet, pc'd, etc. Innoc'd 6 days ago, nonaign of growth yet.

Thanks!

Edit: I'm a moron. I used LC that was previously tested on AGAR and has successfully colonized other jars.

Did you nocc using spore mass, lc? Wedge?

If you used spores, contam or mycelium should pop up in 1 to 2 weeks.

Pure culture methods should give results within days.

Crap sorry, forgot to mention. Used Liquid Culture that was previously tested on Agar. Currently have 5 fully colonized grain jars with the same LC, just innoc'd a while ago.

Temps are relatively stable between 68-74, mostly around 70. I shook the jar after taking out of the PC to break up the clumps. Did not shake the jar after innoc. The jars were still warm when I innoc'd. They cooled down for about 6 hours after the PC, so I dont think the LC would have died, but thats really the only thing I can think of.

You should be seeing growth by now. And it was clean on agar? Even if it was dirty you should see something after several days

Exactly what I'm thinking.

I'm going to give it a few more days. If nothing, should I just make a new batch or innoc it again?

If you start feeling overwhelmed, take a nice breath, and take a few more.

If you find yourself fighting the experience, like swimming against the current, take a breath, relax your body and mind, and let the current take you where it will.

See where it takes you and what it shows you.

You can set an agenda for your trip, but the mushrooms may throw that agenda out, and that's a-okay. Take a breath, and go where they take you.

If you find yourself talking to your furniture, that's perfectly normal.

Step outside and admire the gift of nature. Bathe in the gift of life.
