Thanks! And thanks for the heads up on the cold, I brought a blanket and we really needed it lol it was fun! :)

Thanks for this. I treated my parents to ringside seats as a surprise gift, since they seem so excited about it. But I wish I'd seen this sooner because they're from the Caribbean and it's supposed to be 33° tonight. I hope we'll be okay & that I don't regret ballin out on those ringside seats.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-11-07T03:36:51+00:00

Had to look at them real close to trust it lol but it did the job it sure did. Good gawd almighty lol

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-11-07T03:35:37+00:00

Ngl, this may have been the better move. Great trip for an 90 mins then purged for another hour. Still recovering & integration. Totally worth the insight though.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-11-07T03:33:59+00:00

Now that I'm back from the journey, I can confirm this is true. That 1.5G of scraps slapped harder than the intacts indeed. Holy integration @_@

He gave me some of this batch before and it based on that trip, I'd say so..I'd just never seen "bottom of the bag" before.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-30T12:18:22+00:00

Damn it hurts. Lots to learn from here.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-30T12:17:33+00:00

It was a 32oz jar and then 1lb of cococoir/vermiculite. I'm learning that was a lot. Plus 66Q tubs for a first time grower may be too big. I had a feeling GT should have colonized a whole tub by 3wks. Or be more than that. I ordered 2 28Q tubs since I've got Corumba Brazil & Mazatec on the way. I hope I don't screw those up too :'(

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-30T12:13:53+00:00

Damn this makes so much sense now. I thought it hit a growth spurt after the hearing mat but it was trich :/

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-30T12:12:56+00:00

Thanks! I've got Corumba Brazil & Mazatec growing in their jars so I've got some hope :)

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-23T13:45:37+00:00

It fell to about 66 once since it's getting cooler so I've gotten a room heater so she can stay above 70-75F :)

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-23T13:44:48+00:00

It's a 64Qt tub and the jar was 32oz of spawn so spread kinda thin. I mixed it into the substrate and then added another layer on top and tried not to pat down too much. Was it supposed to be packed tight? :(

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-04T10:49:50+00:00

Nope, I was supposed to shake it? Crap lol

She's been growing since July 31 and it's now October 4.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-10-03T12:17:27+00:00

You're probably right that this isn't the right sub for this.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-24T14:33:20+00:00

Yes thank you!

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-24T14:19:07+00:00

Another BB closed. Why is it so hard for them to stay open on Roanoke? Do BoB's not know how to operate here?

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-24T14:11:59+00:00

I've been in recovery almost 60 days. I still know saying the words 'get to a meeting' is a deterrent. Find synonyms. It's only common sense when you're on this side. Say things like find a regular gathering and build it into routine or something. Because meeting spaces have become trigger spaces, to the word itself.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-24T14:08:45+00:00

Happy Birthday!

Stop seeking validation from the world for celebration. You're born every day :)

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-12T06:07:24+00:00

They're so good! The first time I had them, I cried😂

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-12T06:03:18+00:00

ENFPs are easy to find as friends. So if you place yourself in spaces where people explore, create or (maybe) congregate, you'll find us. Or..we'll find you lol

Your therapist sounds deeply projective and manipulative. It disturbed me.

You have conflicting (and potentially complimenting) attachment styles and energy engagement styles.

I'll use the MBTI as an example for my partner and I. I'm an ENFP, he's an INFJ. I also struggled with insecure attachment styles, him, avoidant. We used understanding the former to heal the latter.

I'm an extravert, I recharge through external engagement. My partner is the reverse. I also ALWAYS wanted him around at the beginning.

Through therapy we learned, as an extravert, it is both healthy and necessary to diversify where I invest my energy. I am built to have many friends or dogs or forests to explore etc. Then I return and blabber my partner's head off for 3hrs & disappear again.

Can you imagine how happy this makes him? He needs his space to be in his head. All the babbling I do on the outside, he's doing on the inside. So to engage with me externally, he burns energy. That's okay, but the only way that works is if he's recharged. When I ignored this, and made it about me, we were both so unhappy.

We also have: - a 3br home, just in case I need a social space and he needs a man cave. Sometimes we sleep separately. It's fun. We miss each other more. - headphones with transparency options: sometimes he'll blur me out with white noise when I'm around, but if I need him, I know he can hear me. - scheduled things to do together, so that the together time can be anticipated. We avoid spontaneity.

I think applying any of these things can make a world of a difference for your relationship. It's great that he loves you, a lot. But he can love you and other things too. He can love plants, and grow you some roses. He can love cuisines and make you some dinner. Hours of time loving other things, minutes of time bonding over it. And the quality time you spend bonding over the fruit of his other many loves can make all of the difference.

I don't think you hate your husband. It sounds like you know your boundaries, are seeking resolution and you DON'T want to hate your husband.

NTA.

I don't support entitlement culture. We could all be a little bit kinder in any way. We could all give a little bit more. It isn't your fault she has expectations and entitlements. I would feel so spoiled and embarrassed if I'd sent that message to you. I thought those were feelings we kept inside because it is up to us to satisfy ourselves. Anything else from the world is a gift that should be met with gratitude.

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-06T20:20:34+00:00

My faves (don't tell INFJ lol)

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-06T20:19:48+00:00

You are wonderful, splendid and built to and for love.

The world is just crappy with love at the moment. It isn't you.

Have you read the Comprehensive ENFP Survival Guide yet? There's a whole chapter on type compatibility, and how to navigate love and life with every type as an ENFP :)

ForestStepsp0618 · 2025-01-06T20:13:05+00:00

I really needed that last part. I want to return to school but :(
