Shit looks tense.... too bad I stopped doing mush haha.

Last month I ate 10 grams on my buddies birthday, and had the most fucked up experience of my life.... I said never again... or at least for now.

There was dude at my old university that was tripping and shit in his dorm room, rubbed it all over the walls and himself, and was walking around the dorms naked. Yada yda yada the cops showed up lol. Felt bad for the dude. I've been very cautious about taking them since lol

Well fuck anyone consuming 10 grams should be aware of the total mindfuck they'll be in for the next 6 hours or so. Grinning like a madman with spiritual halos thrusting upon the countenance of your very being, while hearing a dominating inner voice telling you to go "Seek the land, be yourself, and set a new life for you!" Mushrooms are no joke and when people consume them like there cough drops, they are bound to kick anyones ass!

Well it's been 2 weeks since inoculation and all 14 qt jars have clean white growth with no signs of contamns. Some are half way white and some only have a couple of quarter sized pieces but I am stoaked that all 14 are on there way to the promise land. They should be ready to fruit in 3 weeks which will make it 5 weeks total but that ain't bad since they started out in 75F there first 10 days. Now I got it up to 81F so its moving a little faster. I will throw some pics up in a few. Peace.

What strain? Also what temp would be too hot for incubation? I told you I got em at 81F and that's the ambient temp of my closet being 79F so I calculated it would be about 2 degrees higher in the quilt wrapped Tub. If I change one of my bulbs from a cfl to an incandescent I can get the ambient temp to 82 bringing my guesstimation temp in the tub to around 84 or 85F. Is that too hot or should I do it?

I'm no expert, but your temps seem fine. They're suppose to be between 80-84 F for optimum results. So if you have them at 81 with 2 degrees given for the temp difference in the jar... i'd say you're good to go.

Im a bit stumped.... actually, Im running frantic at this moment... six jars are going nicely with thick strands of mycelium flowing through the substrate. However, the other 7 have no sign of mycelium yet... and it has been 16 days since inoculation... what should I ever do in these circumstances? I read that the growth optimization seizes on the 25th day and slowly the cells die from thereon in... any pointers! I'll be giving plus rep's like a mofo ;)

Your still good I think cuz on day 11 7 out of 14 of my jars had a little growth and the other 7 had none. I checked them yesterday which was day 14 and the 7 with little growth had much more and the 7 that had none had a little start up growth. I don't know why but at least all 14 are in the works. Just wait a few more days and the others should start taking off. I never read that the cells start dieing at 25 days. I have heard of people letting em go for 5 or 6 weeks if they weren't ready yet with no problems.

Fuck those mushrooms got some fat caps
What is a fat cap? the only fat caps I have heard of are the old school REAL x pills we used to get back in 1992 which were in long capsuls and we called em fat caps. They were fucking the shit!, but I still would never say fuck mushrooms.
 
Good thread guys. I love growing shrooms...I am the creator of the Great White Monster and it's funny how much I love growing despite hating to trip....though I used to eat tons of acid...just hate my back tightening up. For incubation 80-82 is perfect, for fruiting around 75 is best but overal 72-82 will work fine, though the closer to 80, the faster the initial colonization.

I modified the PF tek a few years ago, now I don't use the dry verm layer, I use a piece of tyvek instead and then put micropore tape over the innoculation holes. It works better and then you don't get contamns on the dry verm line. Replacing brf with ground cracked corn or any corn also seems to work better if planning on spawning to coir or poo. I don't dunk and roll anymore cuz of contamn issues in the verm though I prefer trays over cakes except with the GWM which does well on both. Can't wait to see your fruits. If you guys need any help with anything just ask though it seems you know your shit sufficiently. I own Shroomotopia dot net so I will be glad to offer my assistance or supplies....I have tons of prints with one purpose, to give away to those who need...so just ask and send anaddy and I will send you something good. this is NHMI so you know.

Whats up dude? This is my bulk monotub thread so I am obviously doing a bulk tub grow. My question is what is the dunk and roll method? Does that apply to bulk grows or cakes? The way I learned is to layer my colonized wbs in the tub and then layer my horse manure substrate mix over that and repeat until I have 1 layer of poo left and then double up the jars before I put my last layer of poo mix on top. The dunk and roll shit I have been hearing has just thrown me off a little.
