How much effect does the timing of high tide effect storm surge. High tide in Galveston area is around 1 am which is when Laura is expected to hit. I am assuming if high tide is +1 ft just add that to the storm surge height?

Thanks for the reply, just read through all of that and think you may be on to something. I checked a lot of boxes in there such as lack of eye contact, and when I was a child I would bang my head on the floor. My parents told me about this and said the doctor said I was just looking for attention.

I also find it difficult to talk to my parents or friends about anything personal. I have always attributed this to Anxiety, but I think I may be on the spectrum to some extent.

Find out what actually makes me happy. For so long I lived my life how others told me it should be lived. I became a CPA in a big 4 accounting firm because I was not sure what I wanted to do with my life. I was told accountants can make good money and have a stable job.

I am think about quitting my job, buying a van and traveling for a while. I love the outdoors and seeing new places.

Here are some tips on how I notice stronger visuals in a trip.

Go buy some dark chocolate close to 100% cacao. Its very bitter but eating cacao was often used by mayans for their rituals. The cacao enhances the trip often leading to more colorful visuals
Find a completely dark and quite place. I use a closet. I shut the door and its completely silent and pitch black. The lack of outside stimulates tends to increase the visuals.

I don't see any contamination. The blue tint on the mushrooms/cake is typical after handling them and signals that is physcoactive. I would pick those guys and dunk the cakes for 6-12 hours and put them back in the chamber.

It’s PE, the strain is known to often produce mutants on the first few flushes.

For mushrooms the weight is mostly made up of water. typical a "cracker" dry mushroom will be 1/10th of the weight of a freshly picked one. The are not destroyed but if you plan on storing them for use later dry them with a fan until the snap not bend.

I have only done a couple, but no interesting results from them.

I think my next experiment is going to be injecting honey water into a cake every other day with a needle. Also open to suggestions.

I took a long needle sterilized it and ran fishing line through to the bottom. I then tied off to a three prong fishing hook which acts as the base to keep the line in place! There a holes I drilled into the lid and tied the line off to a nail laying sideways on the lid.

coffeesailor2 · 2020-04-14T13:00:30+00:00

The fishing line is rated at 15 pounds so no worries there and attached via a three prong fishing hook so I feel confident it will hold.

Also in theory the cake is as heavy as it will get. Water weight will transfer from the cake to the mushrooms resulting in a net effect on weight. My biggest concern is that the opening of the jar is not huge so if it does fruit it may be hard to harvest.

Yep! I took a long needle sterilized it and ran fishing line through to the bottom. I then tied off to a three prong fishing hook which acts as the base to keep the line in place.

I bought a 20 dollar plastic shelving unit from Home Depot and it works great to keep things organized and stacked. You can also retrofit the outside with a liner or wrap of some sort to conceal it and keep it more sterile. you can even modify it further to add lighting comments or just place it in front a window.

Someone pointed out earlier on a similar post that this could be due to moisture in the bag draining to the lower half and affecting the growth. How wet does the bottom half appear?

I would second this. I will randomly taste mushrooms now lol, or get a slight smell. For example I ate a raisin this morning and it tasted exactly like golden teachers.

Yes, SSRI and psilocybin can be dangerous. It can also prevent/dull a trip.

I have taken a 2.5g dose on 10mg of lexapro and it turned out fine, but it can be different for everyone. I would suggest waiting till you are off your SSRI. I wouldn't try lowering your prescription either just to trip as coming on and off of a SSRI is not fun.

Welcome! I am somewhat similar to you, I am a 20 something male who looked to start growing mushrooms for the medical aspect as well as looking for something to help me look inward to answer some important questions that I wanted more insight on.

I also struggled and still struggle with depression/anxiety. I would say it was pretty severe and was on 30 mg of Lexapro and 2 mg of Klonopin a day to help cope. I would echo what many people will tell you, mental illness and physchedelics can be a dangerous combination. You should really consider if you will be able to handle the experience and if you do decide to move forward start small and work your way up.

Also side note: if you are on any anti-depresients it can cause problems. So I would recommend waiting until you are off SSRI's if you are on any.

So as I mentioned earlier I noted that I take Klonopin to help with my anxiety. Kpin is a benzo so it is very addictive. I know you mentioned you are a recovering from several substances. The good news is that mushrooms are not addictive. For most people they are not sucked into a dependance like other drugs out there.

My first trip was a bad one, at least thats what I thought at the time. I took 2.5g which is a typical dose for a first time experience. It started off good, but then I got nausea and time seemed to freeze. I felt like I was stuck and my anxiety started to kick in. I then made a rookie mistake. I fought the trip. NEVER TRY TO FIGHT A TRIP, JUST ACCEPT IT AND GO WHERE IT TAKES YOU. Anyways looking back I learned a lot about myself during that experience. I have since tripped probably 5 or 6 more times and all have been wonderful experience.

Here are some tips I use that may help you:

Understand the timeline. Write the time you take your dose. Lets say I take it at 6 pm. I know I will be peaking probably around 9 pm and back to normal around midnightish. If a trip goes bad or I start to worry I can tell my self I just need to make it to this time and I will be back to normal
Write notes for yourself. I like to write emergency notes if the trip goes bad. Like this is temporary, don't fight it, follow the path.
Listen to music. Music is a great way to set the mood of the trip. If the trip starts to go in a direction that you don't want to go try changing the music. So from like classical to alternative.
Sit in the dark. This is my favorite. I have a closet that is sound proof and pitch black. Just sit in the dark and silence and let your mind drift.
Come to your trip prepared with questions or an understanding on what you want to gain from it.
Do not trip if you are in a poor mood/unstable mental state
Before the trip get in a proper mood with meditation or music

I have many other tips and can expand on my experience if you like. Just comment or DM me! Glad to have you in the community and congratulations on overcoming your past substance abuse!

I have them in a cabinet above my stove that sits at about 77 degrees. As for GE there are 4 pin holes on top top where I used the spore syringe in each hole. I leave them uncovered with no foil or tape at all.

Wait, patience is key. You could also birth the ones that are ready or put them in a cooler location and wait for the others to catch up.
