I have no luck germinating my semperviva spores from '19, tried agar and brf
Looking for a kind soul, preferably from europe to send me a print, i have something to trade.

Also a question, do semps mind if temps fluctuate , lets say 16-22°c? lower during night

The one year old sslc in a media bottle is showing signs of life on agar. Looks a little bit whispy compared to ochras but at least looks bac free, so I'll keep the petri as a backup and inoculate small jars of brown rice, kinoa and buckwheat (2 jars per grain). How much spawn is a good amount per shoebox?

1:4 is good. Cool to hear the SSLC hold up that long

Depends on size of shoebox

My shoe size is pretty average

Thanks Kloakk. I never measure stuff like this. Maybe a quart or half a quart of spawn in a normal looking sb?

For the sslc yeah it seems the myc doesn't care if it gets air. Also did some transfers from 1 year old  petri. Fairly dried out but didn't have much trouble. It was well wrapped.

So I ended up taking .5g dried semperviva t.s. past Monday.
My experience was very grrrrrrrin from ear to ear. Beauties they are! I'm really surprised at how much Boom these babies pack. Like a 2.5g cube trip for me, strength wise. Different soul in these semps though. Very clean. I can compare to mild acid vibes. Trip was about 4hrs and was able to sleep that night coming down. This was definitely not my usual high dose cube in the dark experience (I love).

I'm going to step up to 1g next time.


Fwiw:  I broke my dose into .25g then 45min .25g.  I just ate them. Very bitter in a goooodest druggie way lol someone here I think was lithop?  mentioned it to break up dose for smooth come up.  I haven't tried any other way yet so can't say. Semps sure are smooth and easy on ya though.

worth the wait!

Edit: this is what I was looking for when I got into ochre/natalss at time. ochres are good but unpredictable. And dirty mind fucks like p.e.and yeti when dose high. Beautiful cluster what the fuck.

Actually I'm the one who preached splitting the doses and honestly I haven't seen anyone else preach it as hard as I do

You'll love 1g man, I've only done my Tres Soles one time and wasn't extremely impressed at first when I did 0.25 but then I smacked another 0.60g and Jesus fucking Christ... but it didn't end there, I took 1.5g on top of all that that and wow.... Just fucking wow...


I haven't eaten cubes for a long time thanks to the fact that these completely ruined me and the one time I did d after finding these I was so disappointed it actually caused a bad trip


Glad to see we have another converter here

For me it depends, if I'm running shoeboxes to look for cool phenos I do half qt spawn and 2qt substrate, but my shoeboxes are only 5qt. If I want more then one flush I do a quart of spawn and 4qt substrate and dubtub when the fruits gets to tall.

space daddy said:

As a first timer with semp it could be too early to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway "why did I ever do a cube?" Haha

If you can grow cubes, I highly recommend you get some semps going along.

Converted.
Never going back

bloodssonnew said:

I just do 1 or 2 qt spawn per 14 qt shoebox though have yet to put semperviva to grains so unsure if this works for this genus....yet ..

---

This works mate. I do 1qt to 2-4qt coir in 14l tubs which works really nicely. Lower ratios will give less mushrooms. I tried 1:10 with these and it worked but it was a super sparse flush so I don't recommend going above 1:4 with these. The comparison tub was a canopy at 1:4.


Btw Semperviva is a species, not a Genus but you should still get it going

Very glad to hear it @space daddy, they're a lovely shroom!
although it was @skanskkorv who had the advice to break up dose, my first experience with them well, lets just say I underestimated them.

Didn't we all

3g made me go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
