Guys, what do you think are these blobby formation on my agar plate? Dunno if it's just agar (perhaps boiled over; I did the no pour tek), or it's contamination.

I've got these three BRF pucks almost completely covered in mycelium. I'm planning to transfer a tissue sample to agar - can it be taken from the surface of the mycelium, or should I wait for fruiting and take a piece off one of the mushrooms?

I was also considering the option of getting the pucks out of the jars and continuing with them as if one would with PF tek, ie. rehydrate, put in fruiting chamber and wait for mushrooms. Trouble is, I was short on choices of jars, and these ones are narrower on the top/jar's mouth, so I can't get the pucks out in one piece. Would it work if I were to sterilize a knife, cut each puck in half down the middle and then pry the puck halves out the jars? (and then continue as if I were doing PF tek)

Nope, I just used the scalpel for this. Seems like agar, but not sure at all. : \

Either or both is fine.

If you want to try fruiting them as cakes, you can just leave them in the current jar and top fruit. Which is just putting a thin layer of hydrated coir on top and let it breathe a bit. Pretty much a micro-tub.

If you didn't run out of water during the PC cycle, no-pours don't boil over.

I would just transfer away.

:whathesaid:

In reference to taking a piece of mycelium from the brf puck: if possible, and there is some mycelium stretching up the wall of the jar, grab that as it will most likely be cleaner than if you were to get one with a small chunk of brf substrate since there will much less chance of bacteria growing up the glass.

Hey, i'll go slihgthly of thread

Is trip sitter really necessary? I just don't have anybody to be with me as it is suggested by shroom authorities, which i follow as beginner.

I took 1.4g alone and didn't felt much, only heavyness in the body and slight effects, something was going on but not much.

I plan to take 2.5g now. Would love to hear you advice, from someone experienced would be awesome.

Peace

You're fine...
As long as you've got a good head on your shoulders, not prone to mental health issues, safe space without worrying who might show up (that you're hiding it from).

My normal "have a good time" dose is 3.5g cubes (non pe).

Happy travels

I'd have ready another gram on deck in case .


It's very disappointing to go thru the "come up" and have a trip  kinda fizzled out before it really ever starts peaking.

It depends, I've never had a trip sitter, and I prefer to trip alone.. That said, if you don't have anyone who is experienced, then it wouldn't help either way.. The psychedelic experience is profound, if you had it then you know, if you don't, heh then you don't. A trip sitter is experienced, if not, then it's not a trip sitter.

what I am saying is, the trip sitter needs to be experienced, because if not, then he/she will freak out just as much when shit gets real... If it's okay with you, I would like to take a different approach to this..?

Problem is that i never experienced it any kind of trip, i didn't break the ice so i can, hopefully, breath freely. I've read so much of it though.
For example, i have read that they are not all same potency, so i start to think what i take too much even if i take dose that is advised. Beginner, right:laugh:? I know, i know :smile:

Also, i don't where all that begins, after one hour, after two? When to took extra one, i scare, again, that i will took too much?

Gee would i love some clarity, but never comes

Easy there, I agree, if you know, then less is disappointing, but let's not send somebody in to space without a suit :biggrin:

This is a good as any time to thank you for the ochra dose advise. It was a good advice as always.. But yeah semilanceata is stronger then ochra.

2.5 is my favorite. Light, euphoric, sparkly. You can hike, pilot a canoe, hit holes in one (golf or frisbee), smash bullseye at  darts or a perfect game of cornhole.

I’m with having an extra gram on deck just in case.  The redose isn’t (usually) as intense of an experience.  You’re not going through a come up like the first dose.  It just intensifies what you’re already experiencing and a gram of cubes is pretty light for a redose.  No matter what happens, just keep in the back of your mind that it’ll pass.  More than likely, you’ll have a great time.  If things get a little intense, throw on your favorite music or pop in a comedy and laugh your ass off and just take the ride because it will pass.

That's fine, let us just use a little time to establish what you want to achieve out of this trip... If it is okay with you I'll ask some questions.

1: How old are you?
2: Have you done any other psychedelics?
