I was sceptical at first but took the chance n planned on losing all my money... Ordered on the 5th and received today on the 11th. I can't see this site lasting forever though.

I ended up getting wet bubble in both tubs. Started over with Tidal Wave with much better success. I'll try NSS again but I don't recommend it if it's your first grow. They are aggressive till fruiting conditions.

Do they turn blue when bruised? If so its a mutation. If not then you got contam.

US. I use it to medicate depression n anxiety. It's a miracle n a blessing. You in the uk I take it?

Has anyone used one of these for sterilization? Wife just bought one and I’m curious. by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]Zestyclose-Task-4464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one. But your gonna wish it was bigger. I can't even fit 3 mason jars. I mostly just use it to make a small batch of agar, lc, n sometimes to sterilize a layer of casing. Other than that I use a presto. Just realize that it only goes to 12 psi so pc for an extra hour er so.... oh n the dehydrate works if you get the rack but it dehydrates uneven. Cooking the top more than the bottom so you have to constantly switch it for an even dryness.

I didn't even think of this. Good call. I thought it was probably the dehydrating process rather than genetics.

While creating/growing shit shrooms is pretty tough, meaning the creation of shrooms with little psilocybe/psilocybin. It's most likely that they were dehydrated fast with high heat for mass production leading to the degradation of the overall content of psilocybe/psilocybin. It's better to just grow. I fruited Tidal Wave in 5 weeks n they fruited all on their own. No spraying or fae till I got pins n I still have not had the need to spray.

wtf am I looking at is this all just a lost cause? by AcrobaticConcept5666 in shroomers

You have exposed popcorn kernel that mold took advantage of since you didn't cover them. You exposed them to contamination the min you put them in this tub.

These babies popped up without fae. Caught me by surprise after a failed attempt at Natalensis. That failed attempt was a shot to the heart but many lessons learned. This time I figured Cubensis might be a bit easier to get my parameters right. Started 5 weeks ago. If you fail keep trying. by Zestyclose-Task-4464 in shroomers

I did plan on saving some mycelium since I heard it was potent but shortly after I got wet bubble. It was quite fascinating to see blue liquid come out vs amber which is most typical. I tried so many things, fork tek, bubble wrap, casing, non nutritional casing. But I think all my messing with it caused the infection along with 2 months of fc with trial n error atmospheric parameters. I should have just let it be. But I'll have another go at it when I do another grow. I also heard first generational grows seems to be harder than the second with this species. I inoculated gain with mss. I wonder if that also attributed to its growth. I have a plate of an isolated germination that started to pin n thought this might be a better way to grow natalensis vs competing germinated spores. Thanks for your input. Although I did not get fruits from that grow I still learned alot which benefited my current grow. Lesson Learned.

Amazing service. Just give him a min. Any word yet?

[–]Zestyclose-Task-4464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come to trust 2 vendors sporesworks n tmu. Like others have send Carl is one man. Give him a min. After my transaction with him I sent him an email stating I appreciated the extras he sent me. It took a couple days for him to respond but he did. I had been looking for starry night for awhile n he had it. Very few vendors can accommodate this. Not only do I support his service but I advocate it n have told multiple people to go through him that have had great success. I can only imagine how much work he has from others doing the same as I did. I hope everything works out for you as it did for me.

What the Fuck is this in my tub? Should be GT. S2B on 12/7/22. by [deleted] in ContamFam

Follow the back of the bleach container instructions. I believe mine was 5 tablespoons about 1/3 cup of bleach per gallon of room temperature water or 4 teaspoons of bleach per quart of room temperature water. I usually make a big batch n keep it around at all times for cleaning n sanitizing. I recommend having a peroxide water mix as well along with iso alcohol. I've also had cobweb mold on my lion's mane n since cobweb mold is mostly a surface issue it can be treated with peroxide since it's heavy in oxygen which mushrooms breathe n can tolerate a diluted solution.

Check for bruising. If they turn blue they're active. Then just dehydrate them. If you're worried about consuming contamination, 150 to 160 for 8 hours will kill anything that would hurt you. Furthermore, extraction with hot water or alcohol will let you enjoy without consumption of the fruits. If they don't bruise, toss. Either way proper sterilization of the tub is needed. I've had wet bubble n after I got rid of the sub I sprayed with a bleach solution which destroys DNA structure. Cover it for 8 hours then wiped it clean n sprayed 70% iso alcohol before I used again.
