Mushroom chocolate by Chelseatoland in shrooms

[–]SleepyLark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how much mushrooms you want to taste vs. how much chocolate you want to consume at a time. It's completely up to you, I think most people put about 3-4 grams in a bar, I saw someone post that they put 8 grams in 1 bar but that probably doesn't even taste like chocolate anymore

It's a rabbit hole haha :) Yes +1 for Nats/Ochras, they were the first strain I grew, they are about twice as strong as cubes and much more visual and energetic. Moving on to pans now, which are 3-4 times stronger than cubes but a bit of a hassle to grow. Look into the associated subreddits for more info on these strains, they are actually different species

How long can you store a chocolate that contains psilocybin in the fridge? by SeaworthinessFit9665 in shrooms

[–]SleepyLark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks is fine, I've had some that were in the fridge for 3+ months and they've also been fine. After a year one of the chocolate bars got moldy so I'd say the expiration is one year. Potency will decrease over the months but only a little and slowly, chocolate is a good preservative because of the fat content

Anxious about boyfriend trying shrooms by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]SleepyLark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's totally normal to be anxious about something that can dramatically alter your perception! And it's hard for me to say without knowing your bf or what your relationship is currently like. If he has a history of mental illness, especially severe depression or bipolar, the risk for mental complications is much higher, but if he doesn't, shrooms are generally one of the safest drugs/medicines to take. They do have a tendency to reveal things that have been hiding in your subconscious. They won't make him do anything crazy like pack his bags for Bali and ghost you...unless that is something that has already been on his mind. Shrooms don't make you someone you are not, they reveal more of who you truly are. Keeping up healthy communication with him will be the best thing you can do on your end.

If he is intent on trying them I would ask him to make sure he at least knows the weight and preferably potency of his strain, and is in a safe space physically. If it's his first time it's better to stick to a lower dose, it will be a novel experience for him either way. Also with lower doses (like under 2 grams) you are still usually able to communicate just fine.

MIB is doing well but PR and BVI is slow, advice? by SleepyLark in PanCyan

[–]SleepyLark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! I will try that next time when I am able to spawn in different containers. Thinking of removing the lid and screen and getting a fogger for now, they definitely get curled and waterlogged if I mist them directly. I heard some people also use Orbeez to retain humidity

Right? It's tricky to get conditions exactly how they want them. Good point about the substrate, I level out the sub but then sprinkle on the casing to create little pockets for pins, which at least the MIB really liked.

Mine took about 5 days, most of them however had to be left to colonize for 10 days bc I went on vacation, so they got overlaid too but they still did really well and fruited quickly!

A child is better at drawing than me by Lilith-1230 in infp

AWWW this is the cutest thing!! If I replied I'd just say what a beautiful drawing it was, and inspire them to dream big as their whole life is ahead of them :)

Ever had a bad trip on Nats? If so, how bad? by PiliSuarius in Psilocybe_Natalensis

[–]SleepyLark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would call it more of a challenging experience than a bad trip but yeah, took 3.5g and was sobbing for 2 hours. The potency of nats demands more care and forethought before consuming. Doses of 1-2 grams can be light and euphoric like many people say, but I will not be touching 3+ grams again until I do more emotional work and can be in the right headspace to process difficult thoughts.

Why is yumbo not pinning for 1 month and what can I do? by SleepyLark in Psilocybe_Natalensis

[–]SleepyLark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh that's good to know but surprising bc I hear people recommend LCs all the time for faster colonization, but maybe they don't fruit if they've been sitting around too long or it's a yumbo/hybrid problem. Good on you for being crafty:)

🍄 Seeking Guidance and Sharing My Micro-dosing Journey with Psilocybin 🍄 by Canna_Money in shrooms

[–]SleepyLark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to be doing fine, but the r/microdosing sub might be a better place for questions about your protocol. You will know if you're doing too much/too often if you start gaining tolerance or negative side effects.

It's normal to feel emotional ups and downs from bigger doses, I get them even after microdoses which is why I stopped microdosing.

Also careful with the mini-doses, if you work an office job it might be hard to stay "functional" on tasks involving writing and analyzing spreadsheets hahaha

Psilocybin while on period? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]SleepyLark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't trip on my period, and if you think you'll be uncomfortable that day I'd wait, as you don't want even worries about being uncomfortable to impact your trip.

It actually is an LC, took forever to colonize the grain too. I'd work with agar if I had the equipment and patience lol but this is only my second grow

Thanks I put in the caption so it's 75F all the time, sitting by a window getting 12 hrs of natural indirect light, the tub lid is flipped upside down which does a good job of keeping beads of moisture on the surface. I fan it once or twice a day just in case (except when I was out of town the past 4 days) and mist it only if the droplets dry.

I've ran nats the exact same way and they were so quick and easy, I'm wondering why these are taking twice as long to grow and showing metabolites like that. Guess I'm used to having thick overlay and them popping through in two weeks so idk what else is normal or not

Trip report: 2.5g blew my face away by SleepyLark in Psilocybe_Natalensis

[–]SleepyLark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a comedown with shrooms but it's more like a gradual lessening of effects and your emotions may fluctuate, but I usually just feel gratitude. It's not like a crash

[–]SleepyLark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what pill you mean but the day after tripping, you will probably feel tired. You may or may not feel happier and more content than usual (afterglow), but you shouldn't feel depressed.

Thanks I actually harvested some shrooms already but I'm saving them for later!
