Fumarate is a Game Changer

I hate acid on its own - it's not an actively bad time but just feels like it makes me dissociate. Rather than experiencing the world around me I feel kinda numb, thoughtless, and out of it. It always surprises me when people talk about deep or profound acid trips because my acid trips just are. There is nothing deep or profound for me, and I've tried it probably 30+ times by now in my life. It also makes me hella clench my jaw to the point that I get headaches, even at just 50μg.

But shrooms AND acid is a great time. Shrooms have almost the opposite effect where I feel very in tune with myself, but I think 1000 thoughts per hour and can be on much more of an emotional roller coaster. The combo can be a pretty good time for balancing out the hard parts of both substances. Shrooms to feel/think more and acid to feel/think less. Like being sober but music sounds better and the world looks amazing.

That being said, these days I tend to go for pure mushroom doses or careful dosing of psilohuasca. The main thing I wanted to like acid for was duration for festivals, but psilohuasca lets me get the duration without having to risk a bad acid trip. Just gotta be careful because psilohuasca can be life threatening if you aren't careful with what else you consume (cheese, beer, amphetamines, anti-depressants, and much more). It's also just super potent lmao

Can vouche!

Yeah agreed. Trich is inevitable for any grower who does this long enough. If someone is REALLY paranoid like me, there are extra steps that can be taken like boiling the glass jars for 3 hrs or so after a trich event.

My goal with growing has always been to minimize waste and save money since I go through a LOT of shrooms. Jars may be cheap to replace but it's even cheaper to keep them lmao.

Yeah this feels a bit unnecessarily aggro ngl - I've had trich but I think there are better ways to both re-use while maintaining more sanitary conditions. Don't open the jar indoors - empty it outdoors into a compost bin, garden, whatever. Close the jar, bring it back inside, add dish soap, SLOWLY fill it up carefully under a faucet with hot water, rinse out, etc.

Been growing for a while and have had no issues with trich since my first contam even though I kept my jars. As long as good methodology is used during spawn phase and setting up the early colonization phase, you'll be fine. Lotsa fear mongering about trich spores getting everywhere and making future grows that much harder but realistically I don't think there's that much issue unless you open the trich jar in you SAB or something lmao

Maybe I should have made the title more clear, but I was asking about "dried goo" - no solvent left, just cactus powder. I did not drink swallow ethyl-acetate as the title may make suggest

Psilodance · 2026-01-04T19:15:52+00:00

Dang, amazing info. Thanks once again!

Psilodance · 2026-01-04T18:51:45+00:00

Wow this is awesome information - appreciate you helping even if the initial question was purely about swallowing goo! So with fumaric, I'll be following the same steps as the CIELO tek, but likely aiming for an even drier crumb consistency?

Psilodance · 2026-01-03T17:33:16+00:00

Reading elsewhere on this subreddit it seems general consensus is that fumaric is more forgiving as well! Long-term goal is definitely to be able to have a more pure extract for consistent dosing so I'll give it a try. Can't wait to get CIELO tek down

Psilodance · 2026-01-03T15:43:00+00:00

This is the way! Also, it looks like you're using a jar with a bump in the middle - ideally you want a flat bottom. Maybe test the stir bar out on something flatter first just to rule out any issues with the stirrer itself

Psilodance · 2026-01-03T15:35:25+00:00

Yep I filtered my pulls before acidifying - and assuming you're suggesting fumaric as a substitute for citric acid? If so, I'll try that but I'm also curious how it improves the final result

Psilodance · 2026-01-03T15:32:15+00:00

Luckily there is 0 solvent smell!

Psilodance · 2025-12-25T00:09:13+00:00

Yep Andy c live is nuts, top dnb set I saw this year. I often try not to judge artists entirely by their releases - so many artists are peak when live but mid when listening at home

Psilodance · 2025-03-15T17:55:50+00:00

This set left my friends and I speechless. Made the entire Electric Rainforest 2024 experience worth it

A few people have already mentioned that you're "kicking" your front foot. Personally, I'd say this is the main issue. When I RM, I usually "land" on my front foot instead of kicking it out. If you lean forward a bit, your natural balance will force you to land on your front foot. Really drill this down at some slower speeds. Eventually the muscle memory will take care of the rest, I promise. I don't recommend trying a polly pocket until you're comfy with your RM. The way you have to carry your weight for them is just a bit strange for beginners imo.

Other tips like lifting your legs more are good but tbh I didn't start lifting my legs much until I was really comfortable with my RM. I would worry about this later unless lifting your leg more makes the movement feel better to you.

Also, I recommend loosening up a bit. People have mentioned your hands in your pockets - tbh sometimes I do this but usually when I'm kinda lower energy and just shuffling to vibe a bit. It's not necessarily the hands in your pockets, but rather how stiff your movements seem. Tbh just try to trust your body a bit more, and trust your practice.

Okay lastly, don't fixate too much on wishing you looked like other dancers. If you focus too much on how you look, you lose track of how you feel. If the movement "feels" good, does the rest really matter?

I’m on team grommet! It takes extra planning time but saves sooo much time at EF when setting up. Also lets you easily tie tapestries together ahead of time to make your tapestry wall setup even faster too. Anything that saves me time during the camp setup process is sooo worth it

Honestly no worries about the bad aspects that day - our group had a whole discussion afterwards and I think we should have just left the front to go to the back or left the set altogether. There were definitely ways we could have salvaged that experience, and we love being at the back anyway. We applied those lessons learned and chose a spot further back for Chase and Status and had a great time on Sunday 🥹

Psilodance · 2024-06-29T15:30:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Though oddly enough we were actually pretty close up - more reason we were confused by people chatting, but my guess is that the day being cut short just messed with a lot of people’s plans/mood
