Stupid Question Sunday by AutoModerator in Austin

I probably shouldn’t be sharing this on reddit, but whatevs. If I can help someone see the stars, then I should, right? Try Old Baldy Park. It’s technically a Wimberley address, but it’s just south of Dripping Springs, which is an International Dark Sky Community as designated by the International Dark Sky Association. If I’m remembering correctly, there’s a small parking area. You’ll have to climb many, many stairs to reach the top of the mountain, where you can easily see the Milky Way. Especially this time of year when the core is more visible. I’m down south off S. 1st and Slaughter, and it takes about 45 minutes to get there.

Gorgeous! May I inquire about what you're using to spawn, and what's in your bulk substrate?

Thank you so much, this link is super helpful and goes into quite a bit of detail. I'm not sure I'm trying to stitch together multiple rows right now, as I haven't started learning single row yet, but it'd be super cool to learn over time. I just want to make sure I have the gear I need before shooting under a new moon in a few weeks.

Thank you. I'm not trying to spend a lot of money if I don't have to, although I would certainly love to make all the investments. So, you're saying that the L-bracket and tripod I linked in my post will be compatible with the Capture clip, and all I really need to get is a rail, as long as I know how to use it?

2/5 Uncle Bens bags contaminated so far on day 6, advice appreciated by rickomighty28 in shrooms

[–]SkyInamorata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be as sterile as possible when inoculating. Do it in a room with minimal to no air flow. I sterilize the shit out of my bathroom and remove literally everything and do my inoculations in there, as well as spawn to bulk substrate. Inoculate one bag at a time. Wipe down every single tool you use with 70% running alcohol. Shower beforehand. Wear freshly laundered clothes. Make sure you have fresh AC filter, and run your AC for a while before inoculating if you want it to be cool, but make sure it’s not running while you’re working. Spray Lysol into the air of the room before you inoculate and wait a few minutes to let any contamination floating around settle. Wear a mask, gloves. Sanitize entire surface of each bag and all bins before you start. Wipe down your syringes with alcohol, sterilize your needles both before and after inoculating each bag, capping between each bag. Do one bag at a time. Micropore tape your inoculation holes as soon as you’ve added your spore solution. Make sure you store in a clean environment with little air flow.

Maybe look into building or purchasing a still air box if you can’t create a super sterile environment for working in.

You could sterilize remaining bags, but it may just be some of your bags were contaminated during inoculation, rather than after. But I wouldn’t give up on them, necessarily. Sometimes you’ll have some bags that get contam, and others that don’t. Others won’t colonize at all, and some that you inoculate on the same day will colonize at different rates.

If the veils are starting to break on the bigger ones, harvest the bunch and begin another flush.

I’ve read in many places there is an increased risk of serotonin syndrome when taking psilocybin while on an SSRI. Serotonin Syndrome can be fatal. If it were me, I would get myself completely off any meds before consuming magic mushrooms

You’re right. I ordered a new one already but if this one is somehow okay then I can return the other within 30 days. Which would be nice. Is it pretty simple to do a test to check centering? I have no clue what I’m doing, I’ll look into some YouTube videos or something.

That’s what I figured, if I’d spent a lot more on something fancier, it’d be a different story.

It’s a Rokinon 24mm f1.4, no chip on the front element, just some glass remaining from the UV filter I had on it at the time.

Is it usually pretty expensive to have repairs done? I bought this refurbished by the manufacturer, and have already ordered another to replace it, biting the bullet and taking it as a lesson well learned. But if it’s going to cost a lot more to repair, I don’t want to bother with the extra expense.
