So, yesterday I started a new chapter with Ochra.

When I first started growing them, I wasn't tripping much. And, I made a big mistake that I won't make again, I cloned a plin from the swab plate and just trusted that it was the right culture.

THere was no overlay, and they fruited a lot. So win, right? Well, my lack of tripping enough made me not prioritize Ochras, and I grew a bunch of mediocre stuff.

Are y'all finding more inner enlightenment or trippy psychedelia with your ochras?

I mostly feel the difference in terms of body load and headspace. Ochras are far less "dark" or "heavy" in terms of both body load and visuals like shadowiness, slow melty molasses things, etc. More clean, buzzy, fast. I find this difference most pronounced in low doses. Past the 1.5 ochra / 3g cube mark, things start to even out and feel pretty similar.

The enlightenment bit might be more headspace than mushroom dependent.

There's a very insightful conversation w tree and icyurmt in this thread.

It's been my experience that ochras definitey feel different, but icyurmt makes some strong argments that it's placebo, and after tripping bigger on ochra and having it be much more cube like, i now don't know what to feel. I prefer ochras either way, but the jury's still out on how different they really are IMO.

My first Ochra grow since 2024 is putting up mucho pins!

And with the least overlay I've ever gotten with Ochra (multispore from a 2023 outdoor print, went for about 6:1, lid barely attached, 4x the usual amount of holes in my tub haha)

I remember tripping on these so fondly, so I'm look forward to seeing em again.

The print was from one of these (pictax)

Those are the prettiest Ochras I've seen in a long time man... The colour range with the Ochras and the flowers in the background looks sexy
