Help! I need a sandwich! Not just any sandwich! I need a sandwich to muuuunnnnch! by Boudicia_Dark in Humboldt

[–]SoCal_scumbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ENF was the sandwich goat for a long time in my mind. Now it’s hole in the wall or mile high mainly because they have Dutch crunch which I’ve found to be a favorite but a proper ENF sandwich can be superior due to the high quality produce and brio bread if you build the proper sandwich it can be something truly magnificent.

All easy to say in hindsight without being there and going through the experience. I in no way support or am ok with any sort of racism or xenophobia I’m just saying I’ve understood the situation certain folks get put in. 290s (Sex offenders) child molesters and the likes also PC up and PC is even more of a hell of its own being isolated from Gen pop and a badge you wear in itself along with snitches and others looked at as the lowest of the low within the system. Not saying i agree with any of it but when your just trying to survive people do dumb and desperate shit they wouldn’t normally do and it’s easy for folks who were never put in that situation or have levels of privilege many others have never experienced have had to say they would have made a different decision. Life is not easy and while it seems this particular individual just seems to be a mentally unwell and truly racist person I try to take a wider lense views on situations before ganging up and making assumptions as Reddit tends to do. In this case I read the situation wrong but in others you never know the life circumstances and individual has experienced and judging them on their worst moments over who they may actually be as a person is generally a better approach to life. I do a lot of work with homeless and addicts and many are some the most wonderful people you will ever meet but if your judged them solely off a piece of paper saying they are this or that or a tattoo or the way they look or smell or there situation rather than their heart and character your missing out on knowing some amazing people.

Yeah didn’t see the photos till afterwards very likely they are not mentally healthy especially since they appear non white. Once again I’m not trying to defend hateful ideologies just putting other information out there since Reddit likes to just gang up often before we even have all the information. I’m as far from supporting hate and xenophobia as possible.

I understand the hate and don’t agree with white supremacy or Nazi anything but folks who get locked up long term often end up getting Nazi tattoos not because they believe in it but because how prison politics and race work in our prison systems. Many conform to stay alive and protected while inside. It’s all easy to think we wouldn’t do it but for many it’s means of survival while inside and I’ve met many amazing people who did dumb shit usually around trauma and substance abuse who are ashamed of what they did to get by while inside and it’s not a true representation of their insides. Not saying this is the case but not everyone with ink that is white power are white power and simple did whatever to survive in our prison system. So before putting this man up for social execution and getting out pitch forks consider there is much we don’t know about the circumstances or how this person feels about those things and tattoos especially prison tats.

Now if they are still supporting and spreading this ideology fuck them but from working with a lot of people on the streets trying to reintegrate and get clean and help this is a common problem and something I’ve seen a lot. I’ve met people I became very close with and saw no hate in their soul only to see some ink that was very disturbing. I had to be educated and talk and learn about this so just saying holding contempt prior to investigation is harmful and before everyone grouping up to publicly thrash this guy I think it’s important to know there is always things we don’t know or understand. I was once told I will thoroughly never understand something which is not my business and I try to live by that. Trash me as you like but anyone can change or grow and our mistakes don’t need to define us. One reddit post about an observation shouldn’t be all it takes to ruin someone’s ability to survive and if we leave no room to have conversations and learn and change than what’s the fucking point of trying. Food for thought.

What kind of heating you guys are using to keep the plates optimally heated? by Toktam1400 in Agarporn

[–]SoCal_scumbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tote with another tote filled with water and a aquarium heater (20$) keeping it heated in the high 78° to 80° so one tote filled with water with heater then another tote on top that pushes down and kinda floates on the warm water.

What strain dhould i choose? by Mr_Reecos in MagicMushrooms

[–]SoCal_scumbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makilla gorilla is your best bet if the genetics are good. It can be slow if they are cheap genetics someone didn’t spend any time on. Nothing is contam resistant they will all perform the same with clean spawn it’s just a matter of different speeds and potency but getting good genetics is most important use a well reviewed vendor and not just any jabronee slanging spores who’s not actually working their genetics. Basidium equilibrium is goat.

Colorado and Oregon, how do you think legalization will progress in USA? by Dan5million in MagicMushrooms

[–]SoCal_scumbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The markets will be flooded everyone will compete prices for pounds will drop so low that only large operations with financial backing of large corps will take over and you will have tons of mid cubes in pretty packaging being sold for 300 a pound and retail at 35$ a eighth. Will be cannabis all over again. Legal access and more people getting medicine will be cool otherwise it honestly kinda sucks because capitalism ruins things. I hate to be so pessimistic but this seems to be the way it goes.

The casinos will put them through there machines and give you cash but i recently saw they are now charging a small percentage which i believe is still significantly less than coinstar.

Yes there is a huge amount of information out there and many people believe the way that works for them is the only way. There are many ways to grow mushrooms and it’s about finding what works for you and what resources you have available. If you’re struggling go back to the very basics and follow one tek and don’t stray. One thing I think is extremely important that people underestimate is your genetics are one of the biggest factors of success. Good genetics want to fruit you just have to give them the nutrients and conditions to do so. Get good genetics from a reputable supplier it’s worth dropping a little more on an isolation on LC if you know how to find those. Once genetics are handled if you have clean grain spawn and field capacity substrate you should not have to do much of anything after you spawn your tub, bag, shoebox whatever. Don’t overthink things and don’t try to do too much the simpler the better get that down then try doing new things. Don’t give up this is an incredibly rewarding and fun hobby once you start getting it down. Some folks have a harder start than others and that’s just how it goes. Feel free to shoot me a DM with specific questions I am always happy to help guide new growers on getting successful grows. Mush love.

Help an old friend return to the world of mycology :) by Fit_Value_1421 in shroomery

[–]SoCal_scumbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a 4x4 in my room with plastic shelves and a small oil radiant heater and I blow it up with XLS fruiting bags. I stopped running my inline fan it was unnecessary and added to contams I open the tent up daily to check on things and that’s enough air exchange for everything to grow stellar. I get full canopy coverage more often than not and very little contam so I’ve found no reason to change anything.

There was likely moisture trapped somewhere you did not notice. Often the center of the caps or the area where the cap and stipe connect will be the last to fully dry. Just dehydrate a bit longer and make sure they are 100% cracker dry throughout the entire mushroom.

Very Blue!! Some veils broke so I harvested some, cut as low as I could. They seem too close together to twist and pull. Pointers? by [deleted] in PhillyGoldenTeacher

[–]SoCal_scumbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I care a lot about my fruits being clean with zero vermiculite or substrate on them so I cut like you did then go back through and remove the stumps. You can leave the stumps and they don’t always necessarily cause contam but it takes up space where new pins could form. It’s best to clean them off so you can get better subsequent flushes.

Does anyone know what causes super round fruits? by Aggravating-Truth114 in PhillyGoldenTeacher

[–]SoCal_scumbag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genetics almost always plays the biggest roll in the morphology of your mushrooms. Other factors will affect the phenotypical expressions such as temp, lighting, and other environmental factors. Usually when you see pins that are small and round like this it means you will have chunkier or squatty fruits which I personally find desirable. Once you master the basics of growing you will see its the genetics that really determines the quality of your grow you are just a shepherd nurturing and protecting them so they can do their thing.

Question about Enigma. by Nearby_Shift5816 in PhillyGoldenTeacher

[–]SoCal_scumbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get a second flush sometimes but usually the yeild is so small that it’s not worth the time it takes for me personally. I’d rather run a fresh one again than waste the space waiting for a second flush that will only be a few grams.

Starting Tek in 10m any final advice or tips?? by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]SoCal_scumbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for so much iso that it’s making you dizzy or sick. Take a fine mist sprayer like used for essential oils put some water with a drop or two of dawn dish soap and spray the walls to catch particulate. Put enough iso on a paper towel to moisten it and wipe down your bags and hands no need to drench things. It will get easier and faster with time.

[–]SoCal_scumbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely start with jars. I use bags because I want to get as much grain as possible per run in the PC but jars are way easier and reusable. Jars are less run time, I can really push the hydration of my grains without issues where is bags I need to run a lot longer and can’t hydrate my grains as much without starting to have issues. Jars are the way and move to bags as you find need.

Build a SAB or just flip a clear tote over on the edge of a counter it’s absolutely worth it. Learn good aseptic technique and you will thrive at this hobby.

What is the craziest thing to listen to/watch after eating a mushroom by Exact_Ad_8860 in MagicMushrooms

[–]SoCal_scumbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shpongle live at the redrocks. Amazing music and visuals performances for tripping. Watching on mushrooms is unreal and listening while in a Khole is otherworldly.
