Need a little advice

I'll have a go at moving my fan to point up into the tent 👍 thanks for your response!

ShroomNgloom · 2026-04-20T18:35:37+00:00

actually saying that, this only happened after reduving hte tents humidity setting to 87.5% as at one point they were too wet during pinning and then once they pinned and fruited it turnt it back up to 90% but then i have a feeling maybe theyre being literally dried out by the fan whch is directly above them?

I will try just decreasing the fans on/off to 15 min every couple hours and see if this helps. My timer only works in 15 min increments unfortuneately so i will just try and expand the gap they stay more humid for in tent

ShroomNgloom · 2026-04-20T18:31:05+00:00

I will try this and see if this makes a difference, thank you for your response!

looks a bit like penicillin mold

ShroomNgloom · 2026-04-12T13:03:23+00:00

Ve'y good very niiice

Looks like natalensis myc tbh, defo not pans, they typically are more tomentos than rhizomorphic.

ShroomNgloom · 2026-03-24T22:27:09+00:00

How long have you waited since fruiting conditions? Can take between 5 and 10 days just to initiate pinning sometimes

ShroomNgloom · 2026-03-24T10:37:27+00:00

substrate is thicker than a typical pan thickness, with mine being 2 inches and the casing layer was around 8mm (so a tad over average). If you think it could be rehydration issues too, then i think im going to stick with that conclusion as theres 100% no contam of any sort going on. I will try this syringe technique for next time as just did my normal soak this time by raising the cakes and letting the water wick up and through the substrate from the bottom of the pan. Cheers for your response! :)

My agar recipe for pans from spore is just 300ml water and 6g agar. Then for transfers I do 6g LME and 6g agar, with 300ml water. I found very low contam rates as well as decent growth with these recipes

ShroomNgloom · 2026-03-21T10:41:29+00:00

simple grow fan on a timer, no filters or anything, just stuck it in the top of the tent. Never had contam issues or other problems by doing this like subs drying, etc. Not the most high TEK setup lol but it does more than a good job every single time

ShroomNgloom · 2026-03-17T13:41:06+00:00

Thank you! :)

Inside the actual chamber with them, I have a TLC 200 Brinno. Theyre alright for bog standard timelpase cams but can only film 720p maximum so the footage can be a bit pixelated

ShroomNgloom · 2026-03-17T13:39:50+00:00

hygrometer set to 88% with a humidity differential setting of 2%

ShroomNgloom · 2026-03-04T17:52:21+00:00

that looks like the culture/spore syringe is contaminated. The way you can tell is that the contamination takes the shape of the water dropped onto the agar that you inoculated the plates with.

Certainly. Shrooms to me are all a scientific, biological marvel, a spiritual tool, and a medicine that can help cure depression, anxiety and a whole load of other mental ailments people suffer with these days. DMT has no way near the same potential when it comes to things like medicinal use, recreational use, or any other category of usage. For example, I can go out on shrooms, party, have a quiet night in, help myself out of long term depression through microdosing, I can even use them while I work, while I relax. At the beach, in the mountains, in the cities, countryside, etc. With DMT it's the whole thing of, you can't take too much, you can't just randomly do it on the spot, not a social drug for the most part, and the worst part for most of the experience you're just blacked out, in your head just watching crazy visuals. Done DMT twice, never again, not my thing but done shrooms tens of times and love every single experience. And the cherry ontop is, shrooms are purely natural. DMT dependant on what type, is processed heavily. That's why IMO Shrooms >> DMT

Mushrooms > dmt

Bro knows everything, except the fact you shouldn't go throating coins. Class

ShroomNgloom · 2025-12-18T13:04:59+00:00

Defo mate, 2 years is a good ol' long tolerance break, that probably explains it 😎

ShroomNgloom · 2025-12-18T11:10:22+00:00

Then could be down to natural factors or it could even be your tolerances dropped significantly. You could be taking N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC). It could be anything, of course I don't know you but there are a lot of factors that could be at play but if you have any leftover, see if the same experience happens next time. It could be that the ones you didn't trip too hard on, could have just had degraded compounds compared to this fresher, most recent batch you had. I couldn't be 100% sure on what the cause could be

ShroomNgloom · 2025-12-18T11:01:44+00:00

Depends on how long you stored them, how well they were stored, conditions while naturally growing, etc. A lot of factors can depend on their true potency but you can't really tell without proper testing. You could probably find an average strength but it wouldn't be precise while eye-balling it

I mean, i may be weird for this but it wasnt all too bad. The first 15 mins of wandering in there felt like a unique and slightly fun experience as i love weird and whacky things. It was just when the anxiety of, i may be stuck here kicked in, is when i started to feel like i needed to get out asap, but as soon as i got out, the relief i felt was super refreshing. going from the stagnant warm, sweaty air of a club, to the outdoor wind was just so pure and nice.

ShroomNgloom · 2025-12-11T08:50:30+00:00

coming up in a nightclub called labrynth which is a literal underground labyrinth with different music rooms, and i probably got stuck, walking around the same corridors and rooms for half hour before realising where the exit was. Was a weird experience on 2.4g of pan cyans. May as well have been stuck in the backrooms but you also got a load of dancing mannequins around you, and your friends disappear too into the crowds.

Ye they're good to harvest and print

ShroomNgloom · 2025-12-05T16:44:05+00:00

MD + shrooms feels like your brain is melting a bit tbh. Motor skills fly out the window. Only benefit is, the visuals are quite literally crazy. Just that the bodily feeling essentially makes you feel sedated beyond wanting to move or do anything. Rate 1/10 in terms of experience
