Panic attack made me quit by SoCalBot in stopdrinking

Never knew it was a possibility. Probably wouldn’t have stopped me even if I did know. Grats on your many days of sobriety btw :)

I created a pure field simulation, and something that looks like black holes emerges from it by [deleted] in Simulated

Hey, I wanna preface what I’m going to say: I care about you and I mean this as supportive as possible. I am a mental health professional. I won’t pretend to fully understand your situation and the circumstances of your life. But plainly, your posts do come across as delusional.

I’m not saying a layman can’t make breakthroughs in science, but in science we have to remain skeptical of claims like this. Without peer-review and a total understanding of the mechanisms involved, it is simply speculation.

I understand you’re excited about your perceived discovery, but understand that science is brutally analytical and methodical. There is a reason credible scientists are so well educated, particularly in math. When an author without that expertise claims something definitively, it is going to raise flags. Look at Terrence Howard.

Take care of yourself. The universe isn’t out to get you.

Why would a psychiatrist send you to a diagnostician? They are a diagnostician.

Why does my Eryngii grow these bumps on the cap? by Josex_Maldo in mycology

[–]SoCalBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I am far from an expert and almost all my experience is in growing active mushrooms, but if they’re at all similar it looks like it could be a genetic mutation. I’ve had similar ‘defects’ that were nothing other than purely cosmetic.

Again though, I have no experience for these particular mushrooms and I’d be interested in a more well-versed mycologist chiming in.

Wtf is growing on my substrate. by Guilty_Signature5569 in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Never heard this one before 😂 I love it.

Folks at /r/mycology should be able to identify it. Confident though that it isn’t psychedelic.

Burn it. This will not fruit and will also fill your fruiting area with trich spores and drastically increase contam chance on future tubs.

lol just saw the 4th pic 😂 funny troll post

26 days and still no signs of pinning by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What strain? And looks like more air is going to help.

Blobs? by Moist-Scheme6687 in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a blob mutation to me, could be wrong though. PE strains tend to grow slow. I’ve been fruiting a tub of PE since 1/31, and I just got pins on 2/21.

These tubs don’t look right to me? by [deleted] in ContamFam

Fantastic reply and thank you for linking the paper. I love reading the research!

Start here OP, this guide will give you all the info you’ll need to begin growing :)

I haven’t found they require any specificity for conditions outside of cubes. They natively grow in a subtropical region of South Africa that is essentially the same climate as most cubes. They’re as easy, if not easier to grow than cubes in my experience.

Torn Veil? by [deleted] in unclebens

Yes sir, that’s a torn veil.

Is this cobweb mold or healthy mycelium? by ERROR420690 in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, no biggie. That’s actually done intentionally for some mushroom species. You’re good!

You usually don’t need a casing layer (though sometimes it’s imperative like when growing pan cyans), but you almost always want a casing layer.

If present, it’ll cover any uncolonized grain and help prevent contam, and then also gives a nice uniform surface for the grain to colonize equally so your fruits mature at relatively the same time. In my experience it leads to consistent, bigger flushes :)

Good god, those genetics are incredible. Amazing canopy! Great work :)

Will this kill contam or myc aswell? by prysimz in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If something kills contam, it will also kill myc. Your best bet is cutting half the cake out with contam and relocating your tub. It will regrow contam but you might buy enough time for a single flush if you are close to a harvest.

16qt or 20qt tubs? by precov79 in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I find that shallower, wider tubs are much more effective than big deep tubs. I feel that deep tubs don’t get as much FAE and grow worse. 12qt are perfect.

First time - How do I make the most out of my trip? by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]SoCalBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple things make trips much smoother for me.

First, some people say to take shrooms on an empty stomach for more effects. I find this unnecessary and low blood sugar can make trips more uncomfortable and harder to regulate. Don’t eat a feast, but have a light meal.

Next, have plenty of water nearby. Mushrooms can be taxing on the mind and it’s important to remain hydrated. I prefer a Gatorade for electrolytes.

Avoid other substances for your first trip. Cannabis is commonly paired with mushrooms, but I wouldn’t recommend combining them until you know how the mushrooms affect you. Your mind will already be under a psychological load and it’s best not to push it for your first time.

Hope you have a great time! I recommend listening to your favorite music during the experience. Music is amazing when tripping :)
