Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Cake #1 is at it again. I still don't know what to call this since there should be a week's period of inactivity between flushes so let's just say this is still the first flush. Looks like I'll be harvesting another cluster tonight, I'll edit this post accordingly.
EDIT: harvested the remaining cluster, a very cool looking mushroom trio weighing 7.25g
I will now proceed to dunk #1 even though it's still got a few fresh pins going... It feels pretty light after producing 60 fresh grams.

I've got some more interesting genetics to show y'all today.
Cake #4 is growing some nice monsters.
and this dumbass...
Cake #2 has been silently gathering an army all this time to overthrow humanity.
Tomorrow I'll have to transport the terrarium to a new location... I hope the cakes make it and that people won't pay too much attention to what I'm carrying. I'm thinking a garbage bag will do the job. If it's big enough.
EDIT: Harvested cake 4 for 18.8 grams. If the 7% rule applies to everything I've picked I should have a total of 8.4 dry grams now.

You know those pictures of awesome PF cakes that are full of (arguably too mature) fruits? Here's mine:
Goes to show that good things definitely do come to those who wait. Cake #2 took its sweet time before it even started to pin and this is the result.
Time for a dunk, methinks.
Relocation of the FC today also went pretty smoothly. The cakes were still all standing even though the drive was long and somewhat bumpy.

Today I harvested yet another 50 grams of fresh mushrooms.
These fellas came off cake #4 if I'm not mistaken. 30g total. The biggest one weighed a whopping 13g. I also picked an additional 20 grams off cake #2 and #3. They are all being dunked right now, about time, too.
All four unbirthed jars have also finally finished colonizing. I will be waiting birthing them sometime next week or as soon as they start pinning.
-------
In other news, I finally ate shrooms yesterday. I took about 4g. Some shrooms were not cracker dry but close so it might've been just a tad under 4 grams. Anyway, the trip was amazing and out of this world.
Some details...
I started eating the shrooms at 8 PM. I was expecting them to taste bad but they just had a really bland mycelium taste which wasn't all that bad with vanilla coke. A friend of mine, we'll call him J, was hanging out with me playing Monstrum, which I doubted was an insanely bad idea. J is also quite opposed to drug use of any kind but really chill about it which is cool.
Fifteen minutes later I had finished my first meal of the day; I had heard empty stomach would help prevent nausea and it did. I felt none at all. I had also cut a popcorn bud from my 54-day-old Afghan Kush Ryder. J was still playing the game while I watched and waited for the effects to kick in. I though about whether the dude who I got my spores from hadn't sent me magic mushroom spores but those of some poisonous look-alike. I knew this wasn't the case but found the thought hilarious. What a magnificently successful troll that would've been.
It was about 20 minutes until I started to feel something. A body buzz which resembled that of a sativa dominant cannabis strain. Mild trembling. The doubt of experiencing placebo effects was pretty much non-existent at this point.
I remember greatly enjoying watching the gameplay happening next to me. The long, dark corridors of the ship in which the game takes place were really cool to look at with FOV cranked all the way up and the protagonist running through them in first person. I noticed visual distortions of the textures and soon realized the game was changing in front of my eyes. Something really unexpected happened. I started to find everything happening in the game hilarious as fuck. I laughed at everything, even the normally terrifying monster chasing you ready to eviscerate you.
>>This guy:
I had reserved a red mini chemlight for the trip, correctly guessing it would probably provide me entertainment. The bright red glow looked unbelievably beautiful but I noticed it was uncomfortably hot to hold so I couldn't keep it in my hand for very long.
Eventually J died and rage quit. He asked me if he could turn on the lights and I told him to go ahead.
BOOM
The surroundings I was largely unaware of until this point had expanded and everything was really bright even though I knew the room was actually very dim even with the lights on. The led strips in the ceiling I knew were white started pulsing in different colors, mostly red, green and yellow. I was in awe at everything around me. I felt intense trembling and an euphoric rush when I thought about it all. There were simply too many stimuli and I felt I couldn't take it. I wanted to go back to that deliciously small and simple horror universe. I started playing the game by myself and it was probably the most euphoric, exciting and enjoyable experience I've ever had playing a video game. I kept running through the corridors and ended up on the bottom decks of the ship. I kept occasionally dying to hot steam and the monsters but I just started again and always ended up at the bottom. I wasn't trying to escape the ship. I wasn't trying to survive. I wasn't afraid. I just enjoyed the simplicity and trippyness of those corridors. I found I was incapable of collecting stuff and completing objectives as I would instantly get distracted again and start running around aimlessly.
I quit playing after a while and tried to adjust to all the incoming information. My thoughts kept racing faster than I could explain them to J in the hopes he could later help me remember all the enlightenment I experienced. Explaining anything was impossible. I would start a perfectly good sentence and then get distracted by all the new ideas my brain had come up with in those few seconds. It was one of the most frustrating things I've ever experienced. Over the next few hours I repeatedly tried to converse with J with little success. Conversation, much like playing Monstrum felt like an an endlessly looping pattern of incompetence so I eventually gave up trying and focused on soaking it all up and experiencing the trip to the fullest.
I felt a lot of things and came to numerous mind-blowing realizations during the next few hours, most of which I can't remember anymore. The rest I can no longer comprehend which is kind of sad. I felt like I had everything. I could do anything. I saw my surroundings as something resembling a stellar system, each star representing a 'point of interest' with which I could interact in any way I wanted. Anything was possible. It was a beautiful feeling. One of the greatest revelations to me was the complete loss of time. I saw/felt a grid (time) in which the whole world was organized lift, releasing everything it contained onto a flat, (kind of) two-dimensional plane. Everything was still in order. I felt it was possible to move anything around and in that way be in total control of my life. I'm having an extremely hard time explaining it all since these are only remarks I tried to hold onto with all my might and as I said I no more really understand any of it myself.
The new apartment felt like a whole world in its own right and I dared not even try to think about anything outside it. I was not prepared. I did feel curious and made a promise to myself to take at least some of my future trips outside.
Four hours after consuming the mushrooms I decided to vape the popcorn bud that was stanking up the house (I couldn't smell it or anything else for that matter but J kept complaining about the smell). The overwhelmed feeling left me soon after and I could look out from the balcony and admire the pulsing street lamps and beautiful trees that seemed to breathe. I started to become numb. First my senses were all fucked up and among other things I accidentally ran scolding hot water from the tap over my fingers and felt nothing.
Then, at around midnight became the emotional emptiness which was torture. I spent what felt like an eternity pondering why I'm even still here in the first place. Life felt meaningless and frankly I was afraid I'd feel this way forever. I figured it must have something to do with the depletion of serotonin, especially since I had only slept an hour or so in the last few days. Having eaten nothing at all couldn't have helped either. I tried to keep this in mind to avoid slipping into a bad trip and sure enough, I started to feel fine once more after about an hour and a half. I went to bed and enjoyed the mild OEVs for some time before I fell asleep at about 2 AM.
Looking back, I think this was the single most enlightening experience in my life and definitely among the most special and enjoyable times I've had. I went into it confident I could handle anything thrown at me and although I expected to be humbled big time I was surprised at how right I initially was.
And so, there's the skinny on my trip.There are naturally some things I haven't included because I wouldn't remember them at the time of writing. Lots of things in fact, but in the end it's all about every individual's own experience. So if you survived the long read, I thank you for taking the time and urge you to experience magic mushrooms for yourself if you haven't already. Don't be fooled by what you think you know about them before you've tried them and most importantly don't let anything stop you from trying them if you've the slightest bit of interest toward doing so.

Harvested 33.5g fresh this morning - 25 from cake #6 and 8.5 from good old cake #1. Both still have stuff growing on them so this is not the whole flush for either.
#2, #3 and #4 have been dunked and returned to the FC.
Here's cake #6 before harvest:
I'm pretty sure that colorful stuff is bruising from dryness.
EDIT: The first two mature fruits from cake #5 weighed in at 6.2g
EDIT: Picked the rest of the shrooms from cakes #1 and #6, total 18.5g. Cake #6 is being dunked.

Nice trip report! The comedown - that emptiness feeling - sucks. But shrooms are great! I'm sad. I was supposed to be shrooming today, but it didnt come through.

Damn bro, you're having a long-ass streak of bad luck. You'll get there, though, and it'll be that much more worth it when you finally do, I'm sure.
