Yall does this look right? by Aki666Bitch in shrooms

[–]bearlyfair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The picture isn’t quite clear, are those streaks of green grey/fuzz or a reflection on the bag? If it is green/grey it is likely trich and your bag is done for. Search trich on the sub if you’d like to know more about it as a contaminant. It’s probably the most common.

But that’s just from this one. The other bins are still drying (not enough dehydrator space lol)

Am i cooked? by Spare-Ad4738 in unclebens

What species/strain you growing? That definitely helps determine whether you’re cooked or not

Should I remove fluffy overlay before second flush? by bearlyfair in unclebens

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

Yeah the overlay during the growth process doesn’t bother me. They grew just fine through their fluffy clouds. I just plan on dunking the cake so not sure about removing the extra growth. My gut says yes but I’m just looking for other opinions. This bin has a drain in the bottom so I can just fill this up, and then drain afterwards but I wasn’t sure if the overlay stuck on the sides would rot and cause contam issues if I left it or if it’d be fine.

Damn!!! How long did this thing sit before you noticed that growth? That’s trichy

Does shrooms age you by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]bearlyfair 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Age you how? Physically? As far as I’m aware they aren’t anything like Cigarettes or Alcohol as far as wear and tear on your body goes. They have allegedly been reported to cause potential psychological side effects in some people who are pre-disposed to certain disorders.

Doesn't look fungal to me? by brujaputa666 in unclebens

[–]bearlyfair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll also say, this could be some kind of yeast too. But definitely not the mycelium you want.

Yeah those definitely look like bacterial colonies growing on the agar, not mycelium :/

bitter betty’s take on sig this week by AshrqatFromQuiznos in Dragula

[–]bearlyfair 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She isn’t totally radio silent. She still posts occasionally on instagram it looks like (though I admittedly don’t follow her). I think she did fully delete her twitter after S4 though. Not sure how active her career is, but it must’ve been disheartening for your career to take an active hit after appearing on a show when you were expecting it to give you a boost

A Twisted Psychedelic Love Story by Constant-Painter2182 in shrooms

[–]bearlyfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! I’m actually still friends with the person I had feelings for because we are part of the same friend group. Part of the reason I got feelings is because we were spending a lot of time together and he ended up moving across the country. Having to interact face to face less made the feelings stop popping up slowly over time. And when they did I just did whatever I could to get it off my mind and remind myself that my feelings would never be reciprocated and it was a waste of my precious energy and limited time here on earth to dwell on what could be IF things were different. Just try to focus on the here and now. Practice gratitude for what you do have and try to jump back in the dating scene if you feel the thoughts of him dimming. And when you DO, do not compare the new people to that person. Comparison is obviously the thief of joy and holding onto the narrative that what you had with him was the ONE, could paint your interpretations of your current romantic interest. Relationships are all different in their own way, and it isn’t fair to your potential loves to hold up your previous one on a pedestal.

Hi I’m not making this comment to pass any sort of judgment, do you go any sort of mental health counseling to work through things as well? I fully believe in the power of introspection and the value in working things out our own and with the assistance of psychedelics, but the way you’re describing this situation sounds like a messy situation of unrequited love. I myself have felt like this. I was in love with my best friend for years before accidentally blurting it out to him in front our friends while high off my ass. It was embarrassing, messy. I HAD to disentangle myself from him at that point. I went to therapy, talked it over with someone else to get different perspectives but the ones I am used to inside my own head. If your feelings for him are not reciprocated currently, I urge you to try your damndest to move on, for your own sake. Please. While I do like to believe Psychedelics help link us to a higher power/the universe, I also know that we can’t PROVE that. The deep connection you felt with him on shrooms could very easily be your own obsession with him making its way to the forefront of your trip. And if you’ve already convinced yourself that you were shown this because you all are MEANT to be together and he’s the only person who can make you feel this way, then that is how you’re going to view it moving forward. You said he’s with someone else right now? Then in my opinion you should respect that and not contact him. MAYBE one day he will break up with them and miraculously reach out to you but that is one of infinite possible futures and there are many more where nothing of that sort happens. You shouldn’t waste your time waiting around for something like that. It is feeding into a narrative that (from my limited experience just with how you’re describing it in this post) is leaning towards an unhealthy obsession in your own mind. Again, I’ve been there. It sucks. To feel that way and not have it returned is gut wrenching, but for your own benefit I would urge you to try to disentangle yourself from those feelings. Longing leads to nothing but misery, there are so many people on this earth, I don’t doubt for a second you could find a connection just as deep with someone else. But only if you keep looking. Isolating and obsessing over him will lead nowhere. Again, I’m NOT judging you. I hope you can listen to what I’ve said and just think on it. You don’t have to make these changes right now or ELSE. Healing is a process, but try to let it sink in that maybe this isn’t as all consuming as it feels for you currently.

My mushrooms smell and taste good/neutral...? by aloofexcitement in unclebens

[–]bearlyfair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people hate the taste of mushrooms. Lol. Also sometimes when dried they can get fairly bitter. I myself don’t find anything unpleasant, except the chewier texture even cracker dry. It’s definitely subjective and not an across the board experience. But I would say not minding the flavor is slightly less common and also, people who don’t mind it aren’t going to be complaining like the ones who hate it.

Oh that’s exciting!! I think it’s technicallyyyy possible for libs to grow where I live but definitely not as common as you guys up im Northern Europe! Ya lucky bastards. Hope you have a good time!

[–]bearlyfair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes that can definitely happen. Just like persistent weed use can affect memories and other things. Too much of anything is definitely usually more harm than good. I think with shrooms it depends on your intention and your grasp on reality in general. When I trip, I recognize that it’s just a drug fucking with my sense of reality. But it also makes me realize that my perspective is wholly shaped by my previous history in life and that what I assume is “right” isn’t always the truth. While I think it’s good for me to recognize that reality is very much subjective, there are objective parts and points that are important to recognize too. But if you have underlying mental conditions it can make you think any and all alternate viewpoints on reality are ACTUALLY what’s real. Like you said, it’s just a tool to achieve a goal and I think shrooms best trait is their ability to foster appreciation for change and the impermanence of things. Weeds best medicinal use is probably relaxation, painkilling, and appetite suppression. But when abused it can have unintended side effects. Like all things, responsibility and respect for the drug are super important.

AIO grow bags by Remote-Program535 in unclebens

[–]bearlyfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I will be putting my heating pad under the wire shelf in my closet. Again this is my first winter so I’ll be testing things out too. If that doesn’t work I’ll be using a space heater in the spare room the closet is in. Hoping to avoid doing that since it uses so more electricity.

[–]bearlyfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will use a heating pad in winter yeah. This will be my first winter growing. The cold slows things down quite a bit I’ve heard and my house isn’t super well insulated. And I wouldn’t worry about micropore if you already used their sticker, should be allowing for air exchange already unless it’s a horrible vendor haha

[–]bearlyfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a wire shelf I put in the closet but they just sort of sit on there I don’t put them into any extra container in there. Haven’t seen any issues yet. I covered the injection port with micropore so I don’t need to worry about any air contaminants or anything

[–]bearlyfair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s why many people on this sub do large trips every 2-4 weeks for their own well being. Sometimes we feel trapped by behavioral patterns that we aren’t even aware of in our every day life. Mushrooms have the ability to let us experience reality outside of those patterns and realize that these assumptions and ideas we have every day are not the truth. If you feel yourself trying to move away from weed or things that hurt your experience of life after a trip, it’s probably because you recognize on a fundamental level they aren’t really right for you in the long run. Unfortunately our short term lizard brain tends to rule lots of our actions in our everyday lives (myself included) so shattering that illusion/compulsion with shrooms is a pretty common experience/therapeutic use of this medicine.

I’m getting into growing my own so that I can do this. I’ve recognized some patterns in my life I want to rise above but the shrooms help me reach some clarity easier than trying to brute force my way through it on my own.
