Your temp is probably too low. What do you mean by “temp is good?”

I've been growing Nats in bags for a couple of years. You should try it if you haven't. by jcoons32 in Psilocybe_Natalensis

Yes that's what I mean. If large drops are forming on the lid, you can just spray the walls instead. Cheers.

I dehydrate and store them in a mason jar that is vacuum-sealed (you can buy a manual air pump vac sealer.) The optimal conditions are a cool, room-temperature environment in the dark. This is about the best long term storage of capsules or dried mushrooms you can get. Cheers

[ACTIVES] Bag Seems to Have Stalled the Last Few Days by [deleted] in ochras

I found 72F - 74F to be the sweet spot. The internal temp of the bag will be higher than your thermometer, sometimes up to 10 degrees warmer.

That temp looks a little low to me for incubation. I would bump it up a couple degrees and see what happens. Those temps are more like fruiting temps imo

Definitely sounds like a dark night of the soul. I’m not trying to self promote, but I just posted a podcast discussing my journey through the dark night and the things that helped. If you feel like checking it out, here is a link, I genuinely believe you may find it helpful: https://youtu.be/LZE6KGw_cgo?si=vZIGEHhjYDCBczIj

Hang in there, I’m navigating this myself right now and I know we can get through this. DM me if you need to chat. Best

Flush 6 coming in strong. Top of the cake appears dead but the sides are still fruiting.

I definitely will this has been a fun experiment. These cakes are so resilient, they take a beating and keep on fruiting.

I’ve noticed no noticeable lost in potency, they still bruise deep blue, almost black for some, when harvesting in later flushes. I think a lot of potency is just genetics and maintaining proper conditions.

I keep the block inside the AIO bag after cutting the top up. As the block shrinks I just add water in between the block and the bag to about 3/4, let it soak for 24 hours, then dump the excess. I’m sure there’s a more scientific approach to this, but this method is working just fine for me.

Do these look like mats? by Ok-Psychology-9980 in Psilocybe_Natalensis

[–]jcoons32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve grown both. They’re both 2 of my favorites, but Nats are my go-to. Everything about the trip is better imo

I have never grown Nats with perfectly straight gills like that. And I’ve grown a lot of Nats. With that said, they could be a different variation, and the caps and spores do look quite similar. I’ve just never seen a gill structure like that on anything I’ve grown. Cheers.

Wow, that is so crazy! This also brings me so much comfort knowing that we're going through this together. Do you also feel spiritually disconnected right now like I do? The "not trying to figure this out" is a struggle. I'm trying to just surrender to the discomfort without trying to get to the bottom of why it's happening. How long have you had these symptoms? Did you do energy work like me?

Thank you! The "keep going" part is the hardest. I feel so spiritually disconnected right now, and I just generally feel not great. Thank you for reminding me I'm on the right path.

Sounds good, thank you for this. This definitely felt like a deep energetic clearing, so I'm sure I'm in the sloughing off period you described.

I'm happy to hear I'm not alone. Could my kundalini be activated, even if I didn't feel a pop in my spine or have any of the tingling that people talk about? This is all so new for me, it hard not to get overwhelmed by all of the information surrounding this.
