Good karma this way

Look's like it's gonna be another one of those weekends. Here's to a higher level of consciousness with no fear. Not exactly an awesome flush but I think I got the humidity just right in my wardrobe now. Anyways, I'm still tripping this weekend woohoo!

Congrats homobrass, those look delicious! I've never eaten fresh mushrooms, always dried them. I've heard many people say they're much better fresh, maybe even more potent. Can't wait till my next flush to find out! Enjoy those boomers!

Got like 30 grams/mushroom average so far. Bulk is the way to go.

I love fresh. I don't know about 5 grams fresh. I don't think that would do anything for me. I do 35 grams fresh. I also take an SSRI regularly too so that may be why I take so much. I weigh like 190 lbs too. Assuming 10% dry weight the equivalent is 3.5 grams dry. 5 grams fresh would be like 1/2 gram dry. I wouldn't get high I don't think. All or nothing for me.

thats a nice ratio there, enjoy your fruits man!

well, I was quite surprise
there were young mushrooms though
first time picking them before the veil breaks
they didnt fulfill their genetic destiny
but gave me heck of a good time

yeh the SSRI plays its part in there
I hope to try a fresh high dose sometime soon
the right moment dont always occur
I prefer not to trip where I live right now
being in a megapole, there is a few nice spots Id do so
rather wait for camping or something similar

anyhow, nice grow and fruits
hope the next flush will be great

talking about the fruits
what was your process to get those?

Thanks. I used 2/3 straw + 1/3 manure + gypsum/calcium carbonate mix to pH 8.0.

I first germinated my spores on agar and then transferred to WBS. WBS spawn was transferred to the bulk substrate.

From all the growing I've done I've realized fruiting is the most difficult aspect. The micro part comes easy for me. Getting the right fruiting conditions can be most difficult if you cannot tend to your crop 24/7. Bottom line... work in "lots."

well fruiting for me seems to go well
I dont case the trays
so far, been getting mostly even flushes
so I harvest all within 2-3 hours, sometime all at once
scrap a bit the aborts (very few)
then a new full flush follows

Im sure youll find a way to get even flushes
I just keep hearing how the Z is suited for indoor grows
no contamination
I do the trays open-air
4-5 flushes
even pinset

other strains do well too, but not a consistent so far
about to try the GT, another classic strain

Very nice pic! I love seeing the veils partially torn like that, looks pretty trippy. Veils on my B+ don't tear apart like that, the whole thing starts on one end and comes off as a full ring, yours stretch out and look stringy, very pretty!

Sub is 2/3 straw + 1/3 manure + gypsum/lime to pH 8.0. No casing. No dunking.

Well, the vaporizer I got is ultrasonic (Vick's type) so it puts out a stream of vapor that is very thick to say the least so placement in my wardrobe is very much an artform.

I have my condensation/drip shields very much qualitatively placed. So, placement is very key is what I'm getting at in my tripped out long drastic melodramatic drawn out way of saying it, I guess. Been watching too much Deathklok.

[edit] I forgot to post the prior entry to a previous thread... my bad.

You may find that by ditching the vaporizer and just feeding a fish tank pump into a cup/glass of water inside the grow area, you will get fresh air and humidity in one. I have flawless results with this method. I used to have it with clay balls and perlite, but have found that they are not necessary. I have my pump come on once every few hours for half an hour a time. I can leave it for days at a time without any problems and clean out the box every a couple of batches.

...mind you I use solid plastic boxes that are about 1/3 volume of your total wardrobe (equal to about 1 shelf) thing so its a bit different.

15 on 75 off. Mind you the vaporizer is set on max. I'm sure I could turn it down a bit and adjust the time but I think this will work for me. For now.

Have you considered going with monotubs? They are very self regulating and don't take up as much space as a Martha or whatever it is you are using. Just a trash bag, spawn, poop, a few holes drilled and stuffed with poly fill and they are good to go. You can even put on a small oscillating fan if you don't have time to fan them a couple times a day. I just left my tubs for two days and came back and they did all the work themselves. No humidifiers or air pumps whatsoever.
