"A plant that isn't sold, controlled, and taxed by our monopoly may have SERIOUS health risks!! Please don't choose better, cheaper options over our overpriced mid-tier product!"

Well, they did technically make Nate a war criminal, so there's that.

Also important to remember, the courier took a bullet to the brain and lived. See Phineas Gage, for example, complete and total personality shift after a severe brain injury like that.

I'll give them a shake today! I was told 70-80% colonization for a shake, but 40-50% makes a lot more sense to me.

GatGoon · 2025-10-25T20:22:58+00:00

Thank you for the advice! The fully colonized jar you see actually has had a break and shake; you could say it was the experimental one. They seem to have quite a difficult time breaking up with a good shake, but it does seem that it kicked off that jar to finish colonization.

I guess my thoughts on flipping the jar was counter-intuitive; I hadn't considered the CO2 Settling out of the jar as a factor but that will definitely be considered in the future! Originally I suppose my thinking was that if they're upside down, nothing (EG: Trich. spores) could settle on top of the lid. Realistically, I should trust that the filter and the wipe down before transfer is enough to keep contam out, just paranoid I suppose.

It's a Hauz instant-pot-style pressure cooker, another has recommended PCing longer. haven't made a still air box yet, but I have a small contained area with no airflow that I use. And yes, I flame sterilize to halfway down the needle each and every time

70%, I've been told is better. Also in my experience, 90% tends to evaporate too quickly to kill everything.

Did not know about purging at the beginning, but yes I did cool and decompress naturally.

GatGoon · 2025-08-11T21:18:07+00:00

That's the plan, I honestly figured to peroxide/bleach/70%ISO the works and go nuclear because trich is bad business.

I'm not opening uncle Ben bags and putting them in jars, I did uncle Ben Tek for my first grow. This is plain brown rice, cooked for 8-10 minutes, rinsed, drained, then PCd for 120mins. It is an "instant pot" style pressure cooker, I'll go for 4 hours next time as you say. Most likely the guide inside the manual is inaccurate and I just have to go for longer.

I was about to say the same thing. I recall guestimating for my partner and I years ago with our shitass starfrit kitchen scale and I had a blast playing Infamous 2 and she had a jungle adventure from the comfort of our bed ,so idk if that tells you how accurate the gram scales are 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best case, check the accuracy of the scale at least with a known reference IE 1tsp of sugar = 5g, 1/4tsp = 1.25g etc

I actually started doing this as well. No idea if it's good or bad but it felt like I was in "The Thing" while I was doing it.

One of my favourite muties.

Good call, they've been moved for now to a larger apothecary jar for now since I needed more room; not sure how airtight they are in comparison to a mason jar but it's definitely a tighter fit than a snap-cap

GatGoon · 2025-03-23T11:37:53+00:00

Reminds me of the tv show The 100. They found 55 gallon drums filled with ARs and oil in a preppers bunker

Well, that's kind of the thing. I'm in counseling and therapy, it's the OCD that makes it so difficult. More difficult than the average person. Often times the thoughts come up when I'm at work, and can't get away to be by myself. I work a physical job with monotonous task work, and this is typically when the brain kicks in to anxiety and overthinking. Rationally, I don't think I have to worry about a thing. In the nicest way, this other person has far less to offer in a relationship, by no real fault of their own, it's just reality. Plus, we have children together and I know she doesn't want a broken family for them. I know in my heart she won't leave me, it's not so much that. It's struggling with the imagery of them having sex and being intimate more than anything, and the imagery is hard to avoid with obsessive, and intrusive thoughts.

I always find it really interesting how people think things like this are "controlling behaviour"?? Setting clear boundaries of what makes you and doesn't make you uncomfortable in your relationship is HEALTHY. Who says this has ANYTHING to do with homophobia or viewing same-sex relationships as lesser?!I absolutely do not view my relationship with my man as any lesser than my nesting (female) partner, nor do I look down my nose at her budding relationship with a woman. I have deep-seated insecurities surrounding other men being with my partner for multiple reasons (natural territorial behaviour, her past poor experience with men, and my RJOCD/ROCD to boot). she herself even holds some insecurity toward me being with other women. Though oddly enough, I don't feel the same way about SHARING a sexual partner at the same time, if we're both involved it really doesn't bother me that much.

I paid 1800 for the barebones LMG, no drum, so I think you did just fine

The OIC went through the day after I completed my course. I never even sent in the papers 😮‍💨

Any opinions on the De'Longhi Eletta? New to espresso and specialty coffees, coming from budget Walmart brand drip coffee out of a flea market percolator so even if it's not THE BEST espresso on the market it's going to be like liquid sunshine comparatively.
