How often do yall trip? What dose also?


Only on the weekends and it depends on the shroom for dosage. I like to find the dosage that gets me to the good place I'm looking for (not much body load, good visual, and light happy feeling) but not too much. I grind dried ones up and put them in chocolates and gummies. All these I have grown and have dried stock and candies made from them.

I haven’t tripped in a couple of years.  Just hasn’t been going well and I prefer to take them with mdma at this point.

Once or twice a month. Unless it’s summer. Then probably weekly. Dosage varies by variety, what I’m doing, and what I’m hoping to accomplish.

Maybe once per one or two months in average. I really try to be mindful about it and definitely not to do it out of boredom. Often about 4g dried cubes and then after two hours up to 4g more, but it really depends on the situation. Sometimes I just take 1.5g and be happy with that.

For me, every six weeks is my target for full-on 3.5g (non-pe) trips, but I haven’t been able to keep that schedule for several months, lately. I’m definitely “due” for a deeper trip sometime soon.

I will fairly freely try “trial” doses from 0.5g to 2g from time to time, to get a feel for a new variety that I’ve grown.

I've done 4 ceremonial mushroom trips since November of 2022, and three Ayahuasca ceremonies (total of 5 days) in March and October os 2025 and one just this weekend.

All of my psychedelic work has been ceremonial - I haven't tripped socially/recreationally in 26 or so years

does that look good to spawn to bulk substrate? Im thinking about preparing some straw cold water with hydrated lime and I think it will be good in 24 hours.

It only took 2 weeks I used 10ml of LC some Tresure Coast isolate. It looks pretty on agar

I eat mini doses almost weekly if not biweekly, .15-.20 ochra, enough to feel sensitive.  I like macro doses every few months.  Seems like any given year I only have the mental capacity for 2 or 3 big trips, however it would be nice to scale back off the bigger doses and see how 1-2 grams feels.  Very well may want to eat more that way, probably a lot less aftermath to sift through than eating 3 grams ochra

I am close to you. I go biweekly though just cause I work 6 days a week so that night is a needed reset. Let’s me put my lights on, play music and just relax and reset.

I do 3g of everything but I am also on a semi-glutide. Have to make tea to get anything

Before I had kids, every third week, 6-10 grams cubes or 2-3 grams of woodlovers. One week afterglow, one week integration, one week of preparing for the next / integrating.

Nowadays: way less than I should in winter, during the summer about twice a month. Mostly with friends and at festivals. Every now and then alone, at home. All in all about 5 shroom trips, 5 acid trips, a cactus trip and some miscellaneous trips (2C-s, DMT, etc) per year.

I recently harvested a tub in which I used substrate that was considerably past field capacity, not soupy, but when you squeezed a handful you would get a light trickle of water not just a few drops. The mushrooms that grew from this tub were short little stubby fellas with ever so slightly damp feeling caps and they also had an odd smell, not sour but just not that fresh pleasant smell from my first couple of batches - a little dank maybe.  Doing some reading through the forums I read that short fruit is a common symptom of an oversaturated substrate, but that smell and dampness of the caps has me concerned a little.  Are these also common symptoms of an oversaturated substrate or do you think something may be wrong and I should consider tossing them?

I guess a more fundamental question I have is even if this were a contaminated tub (say from bad spawn) does that mean that the mushrooms that grow from it are also contaminated?  Or does contamination merely hinder the grow from being successful? 



I attached a pic from a day or two before they were fully mature, no visible signs of contamination that I can see. This is only my third grow so any info shared is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

The extra moisture could be the cause of the off smell. I would just harvest and dehydrate at 160f for 24 hours to reduce your chances of anything funky making you sick. Also make a tea to consume as an extra precaution.

Even the fruit from a visibly contaminated sub are usually okay to eat following the steps above. I would avoid anything slimy or gross or too close to mold, just like you would with fruits and veg or anything in the fridge. But I grew up cutting bad spots out of food from the garden to make dinner without a moments hesitation.

A second flush is likely to be more inline with regular sizes and smells because the excess water will have been used up some. Or if the myc was really stressed from a contamination it may contam out before a second flush. If the sub still seems too wet, maybe cock the lid a bit for some additional air exchange.

Yeah, I cracked the lid a little wider to allow it to get more air and didn't water it at all in prep for a second flush.  Hopefully you are right about the second flush being more typical, I'll keep an eye out for any signs of contamination just in case. Definitely going to be more strict about being at proper field capacity next time. Thanks for the quick response.

This is exactly what I bought a few years ago. Same price too. Great deal.

I'm cavalier in my practice and still get maybe 1/60 contam plates.

Is that a decent FFU? I been getting a really large amount of contamination in my SAB 3 of 5 agar plates developed contamination. I poured more so far only one looks contamination but its a little early to tell.

Its high enough I can use the jars I like (32oz) I should be able to pour 10 plates of agar with it without so much contamination if its good.


Don’t buy that.  Spend the extra $100 and get a proper h14 2x2 HEPA.  Something like this https://a.co/d/0DBAkS1



This is the exact thing I bought: "Last purchased Aug 18, 2023." Same price too. Great deal.

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

The photo below is two sides of the same jar. Does this look ready for a shake?  It's Agar to grain on January 17th so 9 days ago.... Not all the jars in this cohort are as colonized as this one but I figure I should probably shake on a case-by-case basis.

Definitely, would have shaken that baby already, and then at least a couple more times in subsequent days -- every time it's making solid progress -- until finally you go, yeah that's totally done.

For example, I've got a couple of jars that today looked fully colonized after having (I believe) 2 earlier shakes.  They were quick.  So I gave them one more big shake today.  Once they fully recover again, I'll send them.

Let’s say you had a crap grow. Slow pins, possibly fighting contamination, everything wrong but you got a fruit.

Would you rather

A) clone one of the fruits you got

B) swab the best one, start back from spores on agar

This is assuming you don’t have another swab or anymore LC left.

@splittinghairs - i just had this situation a few weeks ago - and I for sure cloned that single pin and will be going forward with it, because it was a successful fruit - or that’s my justification for doing it, anyway. 

Going back to spores is fine too, but if you've got enough fruit to make a clone culture, you’ll get to your objective maybe a little more quickly.

Why not both? :smile:

But I'm with f_b, given the choice between a clone and more spores I'd take the clone. Assuming your culture is not totally fucked, you can always grow more mushrooms from culture, and faster than from spores. (And even crappy clones usually produce more consistent flushes than multispore cultures.)
