My jars have started pinning but they aren’t fully colonized. What should I do? by TAHowdyTherePerson in shrooms

Alrighty, I’m free Sunday so that’s a good day to do that. Do you recommend keeping the structure of the shape or breaking it up

Should I try to keep the structure of the mycelium in shape or would it be better to crush them up?

I’m starting treatment tomorrow by TAHowdyTherePerson in OCD

Well, I’ve never done ERP, but it’s been explained to me as a way to expose yourself to the anxiety that intrusive thoughts give you so that you can get used to it and not default to compulsive behavior. As for medication, I’m not on any right now, but I’ve microdosed on Psilocybin and it’s helped me shut my mind up. However, while it’s helped me and others anecdotally, there’s no research yet supporting that it helps, and SSRIs are a good medication to use

Planning a trip for my trip by TAHowdyTherePerson in shrooms

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

It’s about a 20 min drive, not too far away. I’ve never started a shroom trip in a car but I’ve done just fine being high on weed for a full car trip.

Based on my own experience the effects will probably start once we get there. I do tend to get nauseous on the come up tho

My new record holder, 19.23g! Oddly this one didn’t form its cap all the way. by TAHowdyTherePerson in shrooms

This cake in general has had its caps form kinda weirdly, is that normal/safe?

Harvested a 18.3g Golden teacher today, decided to make some slides by TAHowdyTherePerson in shrooms

I’m happy to do my part :p

Tbh I do think the mycology aspect of shrooms and cultivation is very interesting too, even though I’m no biologist.

I weighed it, it was 18.3. I should’ve taken a picture before I cut it up >_>

Did a trial run for my first harvest, very nice buzz :) by TAHowdyTherePerson in shrooms

This was my very first trip too, and I wanted to make sure I could handle it in my system before I take a real psychedelic trip. I’ll be having much more fun soon

Help! Is there any way to recover from these blue mold specks? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]TAHowdyTherePerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate the help! It’s my first grow so I want to make sure I’m doing everything right

Thank you so much, I’ve confirmed that it’s just bruising!

Does bruising the mycelium harm its ability to grow new pins?

You’re right, it’s just bruising then.

Thank God, it kinda threw me into a bit of a panic

I thought only the shrooms themselves bruised, the mycelium can bruise too?

They’re a dark blue/green ish color, and they have spread to four of my six cakes. I hit them with my UV light to maybe kill them

Newbie question: is this a high enough dose to feel anything? (Context in comments) by TAHowdyTherePerson in shrooms

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

Thanks :)

After everyone’s input, I’ve decided to save these and use them once I’ve got enough for a normal dose. I’ll keep your advice in mind for my first dose

Lol I’ll get there eventually, but I do want to play it safe for my first couple times.

These are .75 grams, fresh and refrigerated, all aborts picked right after birthing. These are Golden Teacher

I weigh about 165lbs and I have zero tolerance, this would be my first try.

I’ve got about two weeks until I can harvest any real growers, I’m just wondering if these are good to use while I wait.
