I take issue with this statement. Plenty can go wrong between agar and grain

is this healthy mycelium? I broke and shook it twice now once when the agar got big enough to spread and then about a week ago. Is it bad to break and shake again?

I was just going to wait till it covers up everything naturally but is it really bad to break and shake a bunch? It has to be again anyway for transfer to that container behind it. Im guessing 6-7 days till it will get the jar naturally. It smelled strongly of mushrooms last break and shake I think its decent spawn.

Hot and cold temp fluctuations that are exaggerated? Definitely... Mushroom Yawns? definitely.


How about the whole watery eyes constantly tearing up  thing?

Anybody else experience that? Actually it doesn't happen to me as much anymore.

But when my wife was able to trip it pretty much happens to her every time. at some point or another her eyes just start dripping tears like crazy.




For me instead of the watery eyes now I just get really bad congestion. My nose and throat tend to get all stuffy and congested.  It can be really distracting.

And then there's the trips where I feel like I have to pee every fucking 10 minutes..

What PSI are you running? 4 quarts had maybe 200ml left after 1 hour 20 minutes going in between 15-16 PSI in a 24 quart pressure cooker for me.

I put 3 qt in my presto and after 15 minutes of venting and 2 hours and 30 minutes cycle around 17-18 PSI I might loose up to 1/2 qt, half of it probably during venting.

---

Same here.
Once it starts venting I lower the heat to low/med. I think people lose water by venting on high heat.

Doesn't it help with giving signals to the mycelium to grow?

There is precedent to the use of h2o2 as an enzymatic trigger, thats all im saying, there might be beneficial uses, one could reseach all the enzymes involved in shroom growing, but its probably easier to test, and every step upon further efficiency is a good one, specially if cheap, once im more stablished i will test it, but just saying if anyone wants to try, its a possibility

Thank you! Are there any benefits to something like Azomite, oyster shell flour, kelp, etc? Or is it largely just the same as Gypsum of no benefit.

Not really for cubensis. They can't help but want to grow and grow simple. Piggy is giving good advice. I know it's hard not to over think it.. it's pretty normal for people in this hobby/way of life actually.
