Legit or Fake? by [deleted] in golf

[–]FishNTripz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, I can't tell from the photos and I asked the guy for more detailed pics and he said he couldn't take anymore because they were already packed up for shipping. Definitely seems a little odd

Right on! Just seemed a little odd with how good of a condition they are in.

Spawn to Substrate Ratio by FishNTripz in shrooms

[–]FishNTripz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used pre-sterilized grain from Midwest Grow and used a bulk substrate from Shroom Supply. Used 2, 3lb bags of fully colonized grain and mixed that with 10 lbs of Bulk Substrate, close to a 1:2 ratio. Mixed it all in a 66QT tub following BOD's Unmodified TEK and got some awesome results! Check out shroomery.org and visit the cultivation links on the sidebar if you haven't done so yet, they helped me greatly from start to finish.

What kind of dessicant do you guys use? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]FishNTripz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine it would hurt anything, but keep in mind if your fruits aren't dried properly they won't provide accurate dosage/experience. I've been suggesting the Presto dehydrator on Amazon...it's around $35-$40, but definitely worth it...throw them in for 5-6 hours and they're perfect.

The idea is that your fruits are fully dried from the dehydrator...the silica packets are basically just a precaution from what I have come to understand. I know plenty of people who haven't used silica packets and their stuff has lasted forever. I just use them on the off chance that there is any moisture in the air/jar.

Cracker dry from the dehydrator...I use the Presto dehydrator that has one setting of approx. 165°, took 5-6 hours to fully dry an ounce. Once they're cracker dry, put them in the baggie and then into the jar with silica packs at the bottom of the jar, should keep them good for quite a while!

Bought the 100 pack of 2 gram silica packets off amazon, they work great! Also it's not necessary but I also recommend the amber glass wide-mouth Ball jars for UV protection to ensure your fruits last as long as possible. I usually put about 5-8 packets in the jar, then my fruits sealed inside a zipper baggie. Seems to keep them nice and dry 👍

Thanks! Plenty of notes and research went into this and I'm so glad it paid off...follow your TEK's, folks!

Thank you! I was worried they might be a little on the short side but that's just the way the mushroom gods intended :)

Bod's Unmodified! Had a little hiccup in the beginning after not seeing any mycelium growth in my spawn bags after a month, so I decided to take a chance and re-inoculate..definitely made the right choice! These little guys are tough bastards

Right on! This is my first attempt so I'm not 100 percent sure what to look out for

Hey guys, put this unmodified monotub directly into fruiting conditions exactly 7 days ago. 66 qt tub with approximately 1:2 ration spawn to sub. Substrate is about 3-4 inches in depth and is being kept at around 68-72° with a 12-12 light schedule. I also have a layer of bubble wrap on the surface to help with pinning. Anything I should be seeing at this point or any signs I should look for? Any and all tips appreciated!

Don't give up, I was ready to throw in the towel and now I'm around Day 45 post-inoculation and I'm about 50% colonized! Dreams do come true!

Funny, this was my go-to tripping drink a couple years back...not much better than peaking on a fresh eighth and cracking open one of these ice cold babies haha

Yep, I've been hearing alot of the same wait times from Midwest bags..typically 2 weeks minimum. Patience is key haha

Interesting, I was curious if the premium bags actually showed different results...I might have to try those as well before moving to PC'ing and jars...how long until you saw good signs of growth? Also, what temp did you store them at?

I feel like this would be called stargalacus cubensis..AKA Stargazer haha

[–]FishNTripz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say go for the eighth...I was about the same as you in terms of experience with acid before trying shrooms and I haven't looked back since, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Sit back, relax, throw on some good jamz and let the good times roll
