I hope this isn't bad etiquette posting my pic in someone else's thread, but came home from work today and checked my babies and WE HAVE PINS! :-P

First Pin.jpg

The tall cake on the right was inoculated on September 26th. The one on the left was October 4th. Of the first five jars and 20 inoculation points, only 2 took probably due to my inexperience.

Did something really stupid a couple of days ago. I get up first thing in morning still half asleep, put on coffee, visit bathroom when the terrarium is resting in the shower for the humidity. I start misting the cakes and after about five pumps I smell something and look down and see I'm spraying the cakes with glass cleaner instead of water!!! :sad: Crap! I turned the shower on the cakes and reapplied vermiculite. Looks like no permanent damage done. Maybe some reduced yield which I deserve for such a bone headed mistake.

Anyway, I'm still on track for a "magical" Thanksgiving this year 8)

Thanks :) So far all strains are good as the other. Havent tripped on each yet of course, but grow-wise I like them all. There's no harm in growing a bunch of strains of shrooms at once since they arent nutrient tempered like pot is and dont have different 'flower times' either. Grow all the strains man! :)

For the light I have right now it isnt pointed directly on anything except a bunch of clones. It makes the room white of course. The day sunlight is next to the bins as evident in the photos so that's the majority of the light they get. When I go in the new place in a dark room, it'll have christmas tree lights strung around the tubs. Unless I find another easy method, of course. ;)

Awsome Thanks for the info:D! +rep Keep it uppp Girll:D

Hello everyone,

Kitty, since this thread is clearly epic status, I hope you don't mind me posting a picture here and there. I birthed a couple of cakes this morning and found some surprises gowing in the jar after cleaning the vermiculite off.

Nice! Its great having early freebies. :-)
 
Hi researchkitty. I have a question for you if you've the time to answer. All else are welcome to answer as well.

I'm scratching the surface on cultivating psilocybin mushrooms and would like to start growing very soon.. There is a huge demand for psilocybin where I am. However I've come to a halt in my research. From my understanding, it is possible to inoculate a substrate with a live culture. So I could go out and find a mushroom somewhere and use a live tissue sample to start growing. This is a bit risky in my opinion.

Would you happen to know where I could find prints? or spore syringes? How would I go about attaining the basic ingredient is what it all boils down to. I'm also weary of purchasing from online sites because they just don't seem legitimate enough.. at least not for me.

Morning after trip report. Wasn't a trip. Not enough dose. But I did get dosed. I was surprised that I had good enough concentration to read for a couple of hours and even did some cleaning. Spent the rest of the day playing the guitar and watched some videos. Everything was "enhanced". Smoked some oven-dried low THC lower leaves off of my plants. No alcohol. This morning feel great. Off to work.

Any more pic's kitty?
Nope! Quite frankly I did take some pictures yesterday, but the look exactly the same as the pictures I took before and before and before. :)

Every time I update with 15 or so pictures, takes about 20 minutes total to sort, size, upload then type everything out.

I'll probably hold off on pictures until the new place begins construction or there's a problem or something worth showing.
