Evol's bulk mushroom attempt

I like to fan every time I can remember. What are you doing for air circulation when you are not fanning? Do you have holes in the container with polyfill or anything like that?

Yes I have holes with polyfill but I don't think I made them big enough or I stuffed the polyfill too tight. I am fanning every hour or 2 now. Basically like you said "every time I can remember". Do you recommend misting still? I have stopped because the humididty seems good cause I keep getting a lot of condensation on the dome.
 
Honestly I'm not sure. I've never done bulk, only cakes. I only advised fanning because it looked like there was a lack of air. At this point I'd advise you to seek help from someone who knows their shit and isn't a beginning hobbyist like me :D:

Have you been to shroomery.org?
 
No I'm on shroomtalk. I'll check out shroomery
 
Just got to say I can feel where your coming from. When I grew my own I was tripping quiet often and like you said testing different doses , found a happy place I could function in society on them ... The last time and will probably be only time unless under guidance of a Shaman. The last time was so life altering to my core it changed me for GOOD! And it was for the good! I realized how everything is connected and for every action there is a reaction, a ying/yang to the "universal energy we all belong to", also the illusion of time was stripped away and I let myself into that energy:... Only last like 30sec but was so. Freaking hardcore ! Kind of mAde me more comfortable with my mortality ( remember I got into the shrooms when I was first dx'es with ms and used then in a way as therapy to work through the issues of living and finding a purpose being chronically ill...
I also found it a comfort when I did trip on my own gear that I knew it was 100% safe no containments so never got on that trip, where I had in the past taking wild picked ones ... One of us usually would go off into a tangent that we had bad shrooms... Half of would laugh at him sometimes and sometimes that same half could be sucked in to getting that thought stuck.... Lol I got a syringe of eq from awhile back but has always been I fridge and is clear ... Wonder if it's good still ? Also have one other wait a sec....
Is Taz.... Both very good stuff so tempted maybe next spring to do a run again ... So simple to do. ;)

I knew I wasn't going to be the only one here, thanks for the back-up. I've met a few long-term members of the NAC and UDV over the years and by all accounts they were fine, so it would seem that long-term frequent dosing of some psychedelics is relatively harmless mentally. But it seems like a socio-cultural context and a strong support system is needed to make sure it all stays on the level. Unfortunately, neither of those things are very common in much of the Western world.

Ratatoskr dude, what's your thoughts on mixing mushrooms?? I've got Pans atm, and more on the go and I've also got some Thai's close to fruiting as well. Is it a dumb ass idea to think about mixing the buzzy Thai's along with the visual Pan's or do you think that'd actually work. Never thought, nor needed to mix shrooms before but just wondered if it's an option, see if I can create an LSD type high.

Mixing more than one psilo-species is fine, it'll pretty much be like any other psilo trip as far as your synapses are concerned. Depending on dosing and timing you might be a little more sleepy than just taking Pans, but you'll have sharper visuals and a lighter body load than if you had just eaten Cubes. I've done it a bunch, you'll have a great time. But it will be a psilo-trip through and through, it won't be anything like a LSD trip at all. They're very different experiences and blending two different sources of one hallucinogen doesn't create another hallucinogens experience.

Yes I have holes with polyfill but I don't think I made them big enough or I stuffed the polyfill too tight. I am fanning every hour or 2 now. Basically like you said "every time I can remember".

You could always set the lid diagonally across the tub for 30-60 minutes, maybe even with an oscillating fan blowing in the general direction of the tub. That will allow for plenty of GE and FAE. I wouldn't do that if you use coir to grow your pot in or have visible mold on your walls, but once a sub is colonized it's pretty bulletproof otherwise. FAE is real important at this point, so as long as you still have enough humidity to where the walls of your tub stay moist but don't form droplets, you'll be all set.

I sometimes like to give them as much water as possible at this point, but only if FAE is spot on. If you do decide to mist them, make sure to fan heavily, leave the lid cocked for a bit, then fan again before you close it up. If you do that and you see water pool or collect anywhere, use the corner of a paper towel to gently absorb the moisture. As long as your walls stay moist but not dripping the misting isn't necessary, but the extra fanning still is. Whatever you do, just remember that pools of water are always bad news for growing mushrooms, and as long as your humidity is on point there is no such thing as too much air.
 
Here is todays update. I'm soo excited! Hop digity

Check it out. I left my house and not even 12 hours later when I got home they looked like this and I had to move them to my glovebox to stay humid because they are already outgrowing the setup I had.

Do you have any perlite? If you can find some, 3-4 inches of wet perlite in the bottom of a clear tub will make a quick and easy humidity dome for mushrooms. Even a small, clear garbage bag with wet perlite in the bottom can work in a pinch. Humidity and air are what they need the most at this point; it would suck to see your harvest suffer now after all the work you did to get here. They look real good, you're really close to the goal now!
 
I put a small amount of water (with a little peroxide) in the bottom of the glovebox, that and the ropelight keep the humidity good. I have been opening the top every hour and fanning for fresh air.
