So what's your goal here at the shroomery my guy? It's not learning, you stopped at squirting vendor LC into rice and calling it your work. You've never even streaked a plate.

It's not getting along with people and making friends, you take every opportunity to display your disdain and resentment of other people.

It seems like the only reason you are here is to be smug and act superior to everyone else with absolutely nothing to back that up.

So, why stick around unless you did the same thing in your offline life and now this is it?

So anyway.

Anyone else have coir that just will not hold water? This latest random scamazon coir I bought won't hold more than 2 liters per brick and feels like there is quite a bit of sand in it as well.

The last garbage brick I got had broken glass in it and would only hold about 85% of the water I'm used to. Had to do a lot of draining and squeezing.

Yeah... same. I think next batch I'm going to go back to adding verm to get more water in the sub, pretty sure this bullshit is why I haven't had very consistent results in some of my tubs lately.

Yeah, I used to do a lot better with coir and verm. I recently got some newer coir, so I'll give that a try before going back to the damien 50/50 mix.

For any newbies reading his name is Damien 50/50, that does not mean half coir and half verm.

Does anyone experience very light/weak mycelium on t1-t2 when switching nutrients? Ive slowly been getting back into mycology after a few year hiatus. Most of my cultures are coming from PDA slants that are 2-3 years old to sorghum syrup plates. I have some newer cultures from trades that are also very light though. From cubes to gourmets they've all started off very weak and light compared to what I'm used to. It's visible when a light is behind it but hardly at all otherwise.

Could it be the sorghum syrup? Anyone here like it as a nutrient? Some cultures have been thickening up by T3 so I'm thinking they might need to get used to it?

The recipe I've been using is 12g sorghum syrup to 500ml water.

I got IBS pretty bad. Making tea and not consuming the material helps a bit, but the older I get the worse the results. They're harsh on the tum, that's for sure.

Tea made with potent mushrooms is my usual go to but I've been unusally unwell for months, which puts me off tripping and feeds the cancer is back brain worms, which is not an ideal headspace.

I'm hoping a good trip might knock me out of this self pitying rut.

Have you been microdosing? I feel like 0.5-1g can help me out of a funk even on days when in in a bad headspace.

I had really bad IBS in my teens and early twenties, stopped eating red meat for around 12 years because of it.

Then I realized it had a few different triggers like juice with preservatives.
There's also a school of thought that says it's psychosomatic but I'm not necessarily sure about that.

0.5 to 1 g is not a microdose ?!?

Packerbacker - it's likely the sorghum syrup. It has a pretty narrow nutrition profile. All agar mixes give slightly different results. Give BRF a try. It's cheap as fuck and gives stellar growth no matter what species I put to it (@ 13ish grams per 500ml). Grain water diluted 50:50 is always a win too.
Edit*** - just noticed your registration date, so you probably know everything I've mentioned lol. Just a friendly suggestion obviously. Most syrups like that just give meh results. Not a fan of PDA either, tbh...
Edit 2***, also... :whathesaid:

:whathesaid:

I tried "microdosing" .5gish for a little while and things were way too spicy. You a wizard, Axman?

I have a regular CT scan, blood tests and a ureteroscopy(I do not recommend).

The doctors say they can't detect anything but they have misdiagnosed me before, which lead to me developing stage 4 cancer requiring aggressive chemotherapy treatment, and a friend was misdiagnosed at the same hospital who then died at 29.

I don't have a lot of faith in doctors left at this point :shrug:

Probably worth a try, I mean to try microdosing but I forget.

Can you guys share the brand you both had trouble with so some us know which ones to avoid?

I have 9 bricks of Zoo Med Eco Earth and 4 bricks of CJGQ sitting here that I’m ready to use. The Zoo Med I’ve seen a few people on here use. It is also called Repti Earth.

Dk - Sorry you had to go through all that man and geez, sorry about your friend. 😢 Knowing you got through stage 4 proves your resilience and strength though and getting through it is better than the alternative. Hopefully with those tests they can figure something out. 🤞🏻 I had a friend that had IBS and it ended up he took a probiotic pill and it solved most of his issues. And yes some doctors suck these days. Mechanics spend more time diagnosing cars than some doctors spend diagnosing humans.

Maybe I have a higher natural tolerance than others? My friends who've asked me to "give me what you take" usually end up way more cooked that I do.

But I can take 0.25-0.5g in my coffee before work and feel fine, some light effects sometimes. But 1g usually is a definite mood shift and occasionally a touch of visuals.

I've been dosing myself like that for about 3 years, maybe I need to take less :hehehe:
