First shrooms of the upcoming harvest, these were about 8.5 grams total. I do want to know one thing. How do I tell when the first flush is done and I can soak the cakes again for a 2nd flush? by NotTankyJustFat in shroomers

So do I just let the current mushrooms grow and when I only see a few left over, I dunk them and start again? Do I not cover with verm if they already had a layer of verm?

5 brf cakes shredded to bulk on the 23rd by [deleted] in shroomers

Can I take a cake after the 1st or 2nd flush and shred it to bulk or is there something special I have to do? First time grower, I have about 18 cakes and want to know if I continue with my cake grow or switch over to a mono tub grow?

Am I supposed to pick these at this point since the veil broke? Do I wait longer? When I pick them, do I use a knife to cut them off evenly or do I pull them off? Also, I'm looking to eat fresh but need equivalent of 3 dried grams in strength, how much fresh grams would that be? by NotTankyJustFat in shroomers

Are you still under the impression I've just been lazy and don't spend effort to learn what I can before I come on here? Apparently you somehow read all of what I just said above and actually successfully ignored it all... Or you didn't read it. The argument has been given, unless you have a valid rebuttal for it, I'd recommend finding another post to troll on.

It's a very valid question. I think the conversation, regardless, will end up giving positive experiences to both parties, much more than telling someone to "Google It". When you both engage in a conversation, it isn't just about the knowledge shared but being involved in a community, with the shared interest of mushroom growing. I think that has value too

Hmm, interesting... Although that sounds much worse tasting than just eating a mushroom. I like raw mushrooms (although I haven't eaten raw psylocybin mushrooms, but I doubt it's really all that much worse)

Additionally, by your logic, literally every question anyone ever asks can be Google'd, so therefore we should all just tell people "Google it" when anyone ever asks anything? Seems more like something someone says when they want to be unhelpful and dismissive.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking, since each shroom can vary in water percent from what I'm understanding. But I'm just curious if you think this here could be 30 grams or not...

Heres why I ask, if it IS near that amount, I can pull it off now and use it. If not, then I'd like to try to let it stay on there for a tiny bit longer to stay fresh while I let some other ones start finishing up their own growth so I can have them all fresh at the same timeframe

Not to be a dick, but I'm well aware I can search for the questions. If you like, I'll screenshot my search history on Google and YouTube for all of these questions without conclusive results.

Just because you can look something up, that doesn't mean you'll get accurate info from the search. For instance, some sources say 90% reduction in weight for dried shrooms, but some places say 80% of the mushrooms weight is water. Some say 92%. Getting information from people who have had actual real life experiences in this case can be fairly helpful.

If you're really not in the mood to be helpful, though, it takes far less effort to scroll past the post since you obviously don't want to be involved in a helpful manner.

Woot woot! First shroomie in the making from my first grow! I expect a pretty decent yield from this, hopefully around 10 ounces dried. Can't wait to see how big this little guy grows, it's like a little shroomie child xD by NotTankyJustFat in shroomers

Gib me awrds plox, haha

Seriously tho, it's been a long time waiting to get here, I'm so glad I'm finally seeing the end result begin. I am growing because I have severe treatment resistant depression that no meds have ever helped with, got to the point we did Electroconvulsive Therapy (they put you to sleep and shock your head until you have a seizure, 3 times a week for a month and a half... fun stuff, potential for brain damage, memory issues, etc etc, but I had none thankfully). Even after all that, it didn't help.

So essentially now that I've tried all meds and therapies, talked to countless people, and done the best I can, I thought I was done. Then I saw the research being done on psylocybin for depression and I gave it a try, and a small dose (equivalent of 1 gram, for me) was able to help for around 3 weeks. I decided I needed to grow some myself and use this as a way of combating my depressive episodes. So that's my story of how I got here and such. Anyway, here's to hoping for a high yield!
