How reliable is the dosage calculator? Level two seems like the most I would want to do,  out of the time. Is 1.4 g really enough for that? I assumed I'd have to have a lot more? I know there is a lot of variance in grows and strains, but that seems wild to me. Any real difference between cubes? I've got golden teacher dried, hillbilly pumpkin pinning


For me, unless I just had crazy amounts of shrooms that I could do lvl 2's super frequently, I like stronger trips. I started out with lvl 3's, quicly moved to lvl 4's and lvl 5's. For awhile it was lvl 5 or bust. Then I got risky, figured there was probably a lvl 10 but it's just a super complicated chaotic trip that may fuck you up depending on what your mind is like. I will save you the burden, there really isn't anything to gain after a lvl 5.

I did a lvl 2 recently and was bummed it wasn't stronger, but if shrooms were a surplus maybe I could find a lvl 2 fun with certain movies.

Other than a little dry, these look ok?

Amen to that. I was just expected the dosing to be much stronger, like 3 g for a level one. Im thrilled to be wrong, means that my first grow is gonna last me a loooong time. This information really makes me want to invest in a capsule maker and a more accurate scale

Yes its very important, but there is no tool you can buy to measure it accurately.  Atleast not where it matters

If I want to do grain spawn, like how this two is prepared

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=24126032&page=0&vc=1#24126032

Can I use a spore syringe to inculcate?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm really trying to decide to do pf tek rather than monotub for my first grow.

Thanks!

That grain prep works, I have used it. However i would not use a spore syringe to inoculate anything other than PF Tek jars or an agar plate.

What are the different purposes for using high nutrient vs low nutrient agar? Does mycelium jump from agar to grain quicker with either one of those?

It happens - no worries, ride on my friend, and prepare yourself for the glory to come!

Nice work & best of luck on your grow!


I mean, seeing metabolites on the surface usually means that the mycelium is stressed, often due to bacterial infection.

But yeah, there's not much to do other than let it ride and see what happens.



I had to let it sit past being ready for 3 weeks while out on vacation before I got back and could spawn to bulk.

Not super worried though because they were from an all in one bag that I tried to salvage anyways.

If it is bacteria are the fruit okay to eat or should I just toss the whole deal now?


A few weeks of extra sitting around in the jar SHOULDN'T cause metabolites to appear after the substrate is colonized.

But, see, the whole thing is that bacterial spawn is super common. Part of the reason people get super-specific about growing conditions, how long spawn sits around, etc., is because they're trying to manage bacterial spawn. Whether they realize it or not.

Nope, nothing to worry about in terms of human consumption. Once you've identified something as bacterial, it's more just about betting on the odds of being able to outrun the bacteria and pull a few flushes. If something is already spawned, it's typically just a "rids it till the wheels fall off" type situation.

Psilocybe cubensis is probably the most cold-tolerant of the main "tropical pasture" psilocybes. Just look at its natural range. I prefer to grow in the dead of winter, for a variety of reasons.

Cubes might love heat, I guess it depends on your perspective, but that doesn't mean I love what they do in heat. Grow super fast and get real leggy and jizz spores everywhere when just yesterday I thought I sill had a couple days to pick them.

I'm not familiar with the dosage calculator, so I couldn't say.

Also not familiar with "trip levels."

But I'll say this: at least an order-of-magnitude difference between any two things is totally possible. Two varieties, two culture lines, or even two fruits from the same tub. On top of that, individual tolerances and perceptions also vary massively. And of course there's also cross-tolerance and tolerance spikes to consider.

I grind and mix my harvests to get a global average. 1.4 grams of my usual material would put the typical person well past the point of being able to think in terms of trip levels.

the nutrient density affects how the colony behaves on agar … if it is a bit lower than it prefers, it will spread out quickly in search of nutrients. High nutrient density can cause it to just stick in one spot and pig out without moving much.

I'm just about the newest person here and even I can tell you that everybody here with any experience is going to admonish you immediately not to use a spore syringe for anything other than inoculating agar plates or PF Tek. Spore syringes are inherently contaminated and must always be assumed to be so. Cleaning one up requires transfer to agar first. See below for more information.

Check out my signature and start by reading The hitchhiker's guide linked there. That will give you a really good idea of what the tried and true basic methods for cultivation are and what 99.9% of the users here recognize as best practices. I just started my first grow so feel free to reach out if you want any super noob advice.

I got a bunch of these for small agar dishes. After putting spores on agar should I have the lid cracked at all for gas exchange or will it be fine being sealed shut?

I have a 40q plastic tub. Should I use it as a monotub for fruiting or a SAB? How big does a monotub for fruiting need to be? I am a noob.
