Plates onthe other hand are actively growing should be allowed GE

What can I say, I needed a seldom kick in the butt to take the leap into LC, it has helped tremendous with the more wild exotics, so credit should be given where credit is deserved :hug:

Hey, I have a quick question. I bought a bunch of spore swabs probably last may or June. I only tried one on agar and this was back about a week or so after I got them, and it failed. Since then, the rest of them have been wrapped up in tinfoil and then inside of a clear small bag that they came in. It's like a ziploc. I read that spore prints have to be stored like spore swabs and that they can last almost indefinitely. Any way, the ones I got have been stored in the bag and the bag has been inside of a plastic 66qt bin that had a lid. It wasn't stored in a garage or in a place with moisture, but it was in a basement that probably had some water and some mold and bacteria in the air, then when I moved, they've just been sitting in a room with carpet in a closet for a few months. So are they going to be okay, or did they need to be refrigerated? could I use these on agar? Thank you again.

Try it out, I'd get 4 different plates and put spores to each one. It could take a few weeks so be patient.  After that you can take transfers until you get a nice looking culture.

How the Bushman gets stuff done

Re: Ask Quick Questions, Get Quick Answers [Re: hidingbush]
    #29521085 -

Alright y'all. As I have mentioned, I have been sentenced (told by my wife) to exile (grow in the garage). Its getting hot and my 4x8 tent is starting to hit 80°F.

I'm wondering if I'm better off running a small ac inside the tent, like this one:



Or a large swamp cooler in the garage, like this one:




For reference, the average high in July in my area is 86-88°F, so not crazy hot. My garage is about 400sq ft and partially insulated.

My concern with running the AC in the tent is if it will disrupt the convection of my monotubs. If there is a way to mitigate this (micropore tape?), this would be my preferred method.

My concern with the swamp cooler is just that it might not keep up with the heat.

Any advice is appreciated.

We love swamp coolers in the desert, but you need to have a LOT of open air flow for them to work. They will turn a garage into a swamp in no time if you don't move a large volume of air in and out. Like leaving a garage door open. In a closed space, they will drive the humidity up near 100% very quickly. If your humidity is higher than 40% - 50% they start losing their cooling ability fast. They don't work well at all during monsoon season even in the desert.

Can't say how well the mini AC would work for a tent, though. Maybe with the unit outside the tent and some flexible ducting into the top??? Just spit balling there. You definitely don't want the AC exhausting inside the tent. That would lead to a net gain in temperature inside.

Ac infinity makes an AC unit for grow tents.

It's about twice the cost of that one you posted but it is designed for grow tents.

I have no idea how good they are but depending on your budget that might be one to look at.

Thanks guys.

Rev: Yeah I think the swamp cooler is going to be a nightmare. I could leave the garage door half open, but I have no way of pulling fresh air in to the garage, and a window unit isn't an option

Tree: I've checked out that unit. I'm a huge AC Infinity fan from my cannabis days, I'm actually using thier tent and light so I'm sure the Terraform would be dope.. Vivosun makes a nice one as well. The unit i posted from home depot is also capable of being ducted in or out of a tent with a 6in flex duct for a fraction of the price of the hydroponics brands.

My main concern is the air flow from the AC fucking up the surface conditions on my tubs. I made the mistake of running 4in fans in there before and it dried my subs out pretty good. I guess I could just subsidize with some misting if necessary?

How are people taking their shrooms?

In the past, we would grind them up, soak them in lemon juice for 10 mins, then steep them in hot water for 10 mins. I'd use an espresso tamper and a fine metal tea strainer to squeeze all the liquid out and keep the solids behind. We then poured the liquid into a smoothie or something, and it was pretty seamless!

This was all good (a little cumbersome, for sure), but it became apparent that this was not very efficient. 7g of APE, for instance, was a pretty decent trip. By contrast, I just ate 7g of APE (100% efficiency - no loss) and had a far more powerful experience.


We like the lemon tek because of the quick come-up and it's not so hard on my partner's stomach. But the low efficiency is a problem, so here I am! Thanks!

Tea and tea-like applications are probably best for people who have trouble digesting actual mushroom tissue. My experience is like yours in that I don't get nearly as much out of extraction as I do whole fruits, but I'd suggest just upping the dosage until you have the experience you want. If you're decent at growing, it's not going to make a dent in your stash to take 8g instead of 4g, you know what I mean.

Alternatively, switch to stronger mushrooms. If you're eating pans or semps, you need far less material. Granted, semp tissue is quite a bit more fibrous, but there's a lot less of it to digest.

And for what it's worth, blending fresh mushrooms up in a shake has always been pretty easy on my digestion personally. Pretty much turns them into a liquid without losing any actives.

So for lemon tek I would use the small lemon plastic bottle at the store, not be squeezing juice myself. Use enough liquid for full saturation of your material. You want plenty more juice than what material you have. Make sure workable surface area, don't expect a crammed shotglass to be good. Use whiskey glass or something. I would carefully cut up dehydrated material as fine as I can or chop carefully. I would not blend. I would soak in lemon juice with some periodic agitation, minimum 30 mins but I would play around with longer timeframes up to 1 or 2 hours to compare. I would then add some water before you drink so that it's not upsetting your system. I would eat all of the materials, and rinse the glass and drink that as well. Take on an empty stomach.

Upset stomach is purely mental and normal. It has nothing to do with the materials. Not eating the materials is guaranteed to waste some actives. I would not be using any heat and I dont care what other people say about this.
