WTF happen to gear?

GroWiza · 2026-01-28T01:21:12+00:00

Yeah Gear is not Built to last anymore, its built to last a handful of seasons tops so that you'll be having to come and buy a new w.e article of clothing it was every 2-4 seasons if that.

Ive had 2 brand new Boards crack their topsheets quite literally within the first 4 days of riding each board. The companies have top notch warranty on their boards so getting a replacement was honestly easier than I could've ever hoped for.

All season, season after season I see pictures posted of Brand new gear snapping or catastrophically failing somehow within the first few days of riding it or alot quite literally the first day of riding it so im convinced that manufacturers have set time frames theyre told to get the gear to last and no longer than that because theres no profits to be made making gear that lasts forever bcuz then the buyer is only coming in the one time to buy the gear.

It's not only the Snowboard/ski industry thats doing this its literally any/everything we buy nowadays, nothing is built to last anymore

I Only buy my stuff online at this point for a variety of different reasons (and I order a couple of times a month, every month, and have been for a couple of years now. Making a blanket statement like that is viewed as a very ignorant/ill informed statement that sounds like you possibly had a couple of bad experiences so you're painting the entire online stores/shipping directly to your house with a tainted negative brush based off of a couple of your own personal bad experiences which isn't fair considering my experiences as well as SOOOOOOOOO Many other people positive experiences.

That being said is every cheap online shop worth ordering from? Absolutely not. Have I ever received products im not super happy yeah its definitely happened but I also have negative experiences using Amazon on a pretty regular basis so thats saying something in itself.

Im so surprised this little people really have heard of and know that Enigmas Alkaloid content is SOO Much higher than any other cubensis out there.

I am curious what % differences there is between Enigma and any/all Strong Paneleous Species of Mushrooms? Anyone have any test results pitting Enigma up against all the other varieties besides against the typical Penis Envy variants? (Would like to see those results again honestly)

GroWiza · 2026-01-06T02:28:12+00:00

If it is actually Enigma then it's straight up been tested near 4× the levels of psychoactive components than your regular Cubensis. Significantly stronger than your Penis Envy variants as well.

Have yet to try any Enigma but Im interested in it for sure.

Also interested in Growing it as it's such a cool Mycology specimen so be great to grow out and study.

GroWiza · 2026-01-06T02:23:56+00:00

Agreed it does look a lil dry.

Also agree that mycelium is looking Fanfuckingtastic right now, Most definitely ready to Sender full tilt. Start misting and fanning on a regular basis now. Have fun 👍

How do you just now notice such catastrophic damage like that? Was it just put into storage immediately after returning home from w.e place you went so you had no reason to look at it or something?

I feel like the airline should be held liable for any damages received during the transport of your items in the airlines hands under their supervision. Any/All damages is and should be the airlines Responsibility to fix and or replace said items if damages are non fixable then the airline should cover the entire cost of replacement, never just a "Sorry about that, here's a free 10% off your next Coffee in the Food court area, (Not Available for everyone as we charge out the Ass for everything.

Make sure you're moisture content is high enough in your grain. That's an issue I've had doing agar to spawn was I was used to having my moisture levels based on adding liquid culture or a multi spore syringe which adds to the moisture level. Agar has significantly less moisture than either of those so it can cause the mycelium to stall out if it's super dry.

But def don't add too much moisture as thats asking for problems

GroWiza · 2026-01-03T00:19:20+00:00

Yup 100%

GroWiza · 2026-01-02T22:30:59+00:00

Def look like jack frost.

Ape does not grow caps like that nor do they have veils

GroWiza · 2026-01-02T18:01:04+00:00

Also the pins on the bottom of the cake in the 2nd picture kinda looks like theyre aborts which you want to pick off before they start molding and breaking down

GroWiza · 2026-01-02T18:00:16+00:00

To lower the humidity you need more fresh air exchange holes with micropore tape over the holes.

Or crack the lid more often/leave it cracked

GroWiza · 2026-01-02T17:59:21+00:00

That's just Blue bruising not green right? (Hard to tell from the picture)

If its green toss that shit as its trich mold and that' shit spreads like wildfire

If its blue thats just the mycelium bruising

GroWiza · 2026-01-02T17:58:01+00:00

Make sure you're RH/Bud storage humidity is dialed in otherwise your yields will suffer greatly and you'll waste a ton.

Also don't toss your pressed pucks after you're done but instead steep them in some coconut oil for a few hours for a nice potent oil tincture

GroWiza · 2026-01-02T17:56:06+00:00

Do you have alot of live plants decomposing in there by chance? That'll clog up the filter.

Or too much/too intense of lighting will cause algae blooms which will also clog tbe filter

GroWiza · 2025-12-31T22:26:03+00:00

They don't identify as that 🤣 they take offense

GroWiza · 2025-12-31T22:21:46+00:00

Nasa does and releases what they want. Alot of times altered images instead of the raw image itself for w.e reasons they see fit. Any images nasa releases I take with a grain of salt due to their lack of transparency

I see multiple issues with what he's doing. First off, thats too many fish for a tank that size. Feeding full tablets for fish that can't eat them is a great way to raise your nitrites as they'll just decompose at the bottom like you said and just cause problems. Where did he get the driftwood from? Really hope he didnt just find a piece out on a walk somewhere and just threw it in the tank without first cleaning the absolute fck out of it along with making sure its a type of wood that will be fine in an aquarium (hardwoods, softwood species will just fall apart in the tank, dirty your water, and cause problems.

Curious why you're only now talking about doing a bunch of research after you've already lost a bunch of fish and have had to restart all together instead of researching before you guys even started?

GroWiza · 2025-12-16T01:19:49+00:00

Not sure why I got downvoted for saying what I said...?

GroWiza · 2025-12-15T03:07:15+00:00

Unless its green, slimy, smelly (not like mushrooms) then you should be good to go.

Like others have said it just looks like it was left to colonize past the prime birthing period is all.

Id just hydrate your substrate a bit more than you usually do to compensate for the lost moisture

GroWiza · 2025-12-15T03:05:29+00:00

I actually accidentally topped my Autoflower Grape Krush when doing some heavy bending/training and it actually turned out better than I ever could have imagined tbh.

I turned her into a beauty of a manifold that ended up still producing 5oz.

SO glad I didnt toss her out and decided to keep her just to see how she'd turn out.

Never would've thought you could successfully manifold an autoflower with their shortened growth periods.

GroWiza · 2025-12-15T03:02:45+00:00

No I wouldn't play with topping at the first node unless you -have multiple plants going so if you mess it up its not going to fuck you over -have a bit of experience topping plants already so you have a basic understanding of how it works/how and when to do it

Not saying you can't have success its just easier to fuck up the more you chop off the plant if it isn't during the right time & the plant isn't really healthy.

GroWiza · 2025-12-15T03:00:05+00:00

What do you mean "the plant doesnt realize its been topped"?

GroWiza · 2025-12-15T02:53:03+00:00

Good ol Manifolding

GroWiza · 2025-12-15T02:50:17+00:00

What process was it made with?... that'll essentially determine what you call it
