These are 6qts, I use the “dub tub” method with just putting another box upside down as a dome when the mushies are about to hit the regular lid.

@ChronicMcBudz if by in trouble you mean starting yet another hobby, yea it’s addicting lol. Just like gardening, once you understand the fundamentals, the skills can be used to grow all sorts of different mushrooms. Medicinal/functional and gourmet mushrooms have gained a lot of popularity lately. With the fruiting block kits available, you can get some oyster or lions mane growing on your counter like a house plant. It’s amazing watching them grow, you can see them change almost every time you walk by and look at them.

Awesome, so 2 Uncle Ben’s worth of Spawn then, basically?

I sent 2 bags already of the Z, the rest are getting 100% treatment because I’m going on a week vacation on the 13th.

Knock on wood, but all the bags are viable so far out of 12. I went a little overboard and used a whole syringe on 12 but it seems to be okay. Been 14 days so far, and they are all like 75%+ colonized. One of the bags I sent early had been battling Trich and I could see through the viewing window it was like a mushy mycelium, so I opened it but it was only like a couple inches of Trich so I cut that off and sent the rest.

That likely not going to work out, keep eye on it.
Yes that’s basically two bags worth of rice. I used two pint jars of brown rice prepared broke boi style. These were mixed 1 part spawn to 2 parts coir

Just picked the first flush of the second box, looks pretty but got a little messy lol. 410g wet weight

I’ve got a question for yall. How long can you wait to spawn a bag? Like once it’s colonized, how long can it last that way before you have to case it?

Put it in the fridge and apparently it can sit for months just chilling once it’s colonized

One interesting thing
I don’t have an air conditioner, the nights are over 30 degrees Celsius… It gets even hotter in the room
Psilocybin appears to act on the thermoregulatory system. 0.5 - 0.7 g does not bother me to fall asleep. I’m tired in the evening. And the heat doesn’t bother me at all with that dose

Really? :thinking:

Does that kind of heat bother you otherwise?

I’m intrigued because I’m extremely heat intolerant. Well I guess I got some googling to do :laughing:

Nice! I’ve got a 23qt Presto (induction compatible) coming in a few days myself. Looking forward to it.

Those Mazatats look lovely, btw.
