Do it! Do it! Do it! I believe mushrooms have way more health benefits than weed, and if you can grow a psilocybe you can grow a whole bunch of different mushrooms. the understanding is mostly the same, just the resources that's gona differ. such as the substrates different mushrooms prefer and different environmental conditions. once you get the hang of it, it can be extremely cheap. way cheaper than growing weed and takes less space. That's awesome of them, excellent service! I wonder how many times they'll send you a replacement? Till you get it right hahah this actually gives me confidence to order from them have ordered many of these syringes and never got replacements! before you get started this time. do you have a pressure cooker? if not you can use a normal pot, but I would suggest steam cooking your BRF cake before doing anything. and get 70% rubbing alcohol for this, works best for many reasons. anything higher will evaporate too quick to kill anything. I use 70% wintergreen rubbing alcohol from dischem. prep your area, close all windows, wipe away all dust, then spray 70% alcohol and wipe down the surface where you gona do inoculation. get a big tub you cac put over your brf jar and syringe, spray and wipe down the inside of the tub. spray the brf jar and syringe both so they're dripping alcohol, put them on a paper towel and put the tub over them so that no dust falls down on them. this is a good time to put on a mask and some gloves, grab another few paper towels, spray and wipe down your gloves and fore arms just outside of the glove, grab a paper towel and carefully lift the tub an don't create a wind with your arms or hands as you move. like you doing operation, you got a mask on also not to breathe germs onto everything. so be sure there is no air moving around. wipe down the brf jar, carefully lift the tub back up, put the brf jar back under the tub, leave a alcohol soaked paper towel ontop of the injection port, as you take the syringe out from under the tub and wipe that down aswell. now lift the tub again carefully and set it aside, take a lighter and flame sterilise your syringe needle, take the alcohol soaked paper towel you left ontop of the brf jar and wipe it down nicely, as you lift the jar you slide in the needle and as you inject the liquid you move the syringe around so you can spread the liquid in the jar and not inoculate it all in one place. here is a video on the pftek kit from MyShrooms. also a good step by step, but there are few things I would do differently.

That video is just to show a little of Alans workshop setup. Here is a nice video on the PF tek, youtube has quite a lot. only thing I do differently, I don't use my lids I just use tin foil. there are instructional videos on the myshrooms page aswell.

first thing that comes to mind, first time I smoked obviously one never parts with that memory, but there's no big story around my first time. second that comes to mind. the highest I have ever been, I have a couple stories, but a hand full of them start with smoking a chillum with some rastas. especially those hash chillums.... dear god.... puff puff puff puff puff till you get a big cherry going then take the biggest hit of your life, will make your vision blurry for a few seconds as you try with all your might to not cough and let the smoke out slowly and little bit at a time, otherwise you risk a cough you gona cough for hours. seriously, fuck any extract or any "pure" whatever, smoke a chillum with the rastas you'll forever know what being high really means. when you have to walk away from the crowd to get fresh air, you turn back to look at everyone and it's like you lost your perception of depth and you seeing double, almost feels like you could pass out at any moment. couple deep breaths of fresh air and a sip of water you'll be good and higher than you have ever been, no doubt. I remember watching the Ganjier on youtube, they discuss all kinds of things for Cannabis connoisseurs. The host Derek Gilman had Frenchy Canoli on, THE hashman! Frenchy packed a hash chillum, this is the only episode Derek actually had a time out after the hit he blew out the smoke and immediatly handed off the chillum! that man was wobbling in his seat feeling like he is about to fall off the side of the planet. hahahahah I am telling you guys, if you have not experienced a proper chillum smoke, it's a bucketlist thing. you'll have a new respect for cannabis and how powerful it can be. Dereks chillum hit at 22:30

I had a look now on B&B and it turns out the "PF classic" is actually a strain, that was named after the pf tek, that was made famous by the same man who named it. I learn something new every day I know when I look up Psilocybe species nothing of the sorts comes up, no mention of PF classic as a species of psilocybe. If you wana know everything there is to know about any psilocybin containing mushrooms, even the few of those outside of the psilocybe genus group, check out Allan Rockefeller. Dude is currently the lead mycologist in the world with a focus on psychoactice mushrooms, pushing out the most information ever on mushroom mycroscopy than anyone has ever before. and it's just him doing it alone and he is doing it from a lab he put together himself. didn't study a thing. check this video... notice what he said at 19:30 "if any of this shit is flying over your heads don't worry about it, you hear these words enough you go read up about them. you can use the internet to look at pictures of butts and food or you can use it to teach yourself something" and at 26:20 "no, I didn't go to school, I just started doing it" shits inspirational hahahah @Weskush brother, I am sorry if I missed it, but do you still have anything in the syringe? did you empty the syringe ino the tub, or you saved a few drops?

They lable them as spore syringes, but they're actually liquid culture syringes. That's because the already germinated spores and culture form of the mushroom awell as the mushroom itself is all illegal, so they have to say they're spores. I had to dig up an old email from 2020, discussing this with Dave from MyShrooms, he confirms it. here is my email to him here's the reply but no stress, it's actually better that way. if you still have a few drops of culture I could possibly still save you

you must get directly from myshrooms. I've gotten a few clean syringes from them. https://www.myshrooms.co.za/product-category/psilocybin-mushrooms/ there are all their different strains available.

PF tek means Psilocybe Fanaticus technique, it's not a strain, it refers to the technique a person uses to grow psilocyin containing mushrooms. usually talking bout the old school method of using brown rice flour and vermiculite as a substrate and making "cakes" also known as BRF cakes. this is what you where doing, but the strain of mushroom you grew must have been given to you at some point during the exchange, usually psilocybe cubensis.

you still have something in the syringe? like one drop?

did you get it from b&b? damn... no instructions is poor, this takes some know-how. you inject only the injection port, yes. but the fact that it only has one injection port is also very poorly done.

oh man, sorry brother, this one goes to the bin all this is thrichoderma, good for soil. but don't even open it in your sterile area and don't touch it directly. those plastic tubs are cheap, throw the whole thing away. if it was a glass jar I would tell you how to dispose of it, but even then you would wana be carefull. trichoderma is very agressive and spreads it's spores very easily, it's the biggest threat to any mycology work. where did you get the syringe from? you got more culture in there? what strain of psilocybe is it? it's brf then the top 1/2cm is just vermiculite. this usually helps with contamination, but in this case I think the LC itself was contaminated

Got a fresh roll of toilet paper sitting in the fridge for this weekend Jalapeño poppers coming right up! Habaneros getting ready got a few cayenne still drying along with a few cherry bombs probably gona whip up a spicey butter chicken along with a couple Jalapeño poppers should make for a nice ring sting on Saturday morning...

looking at the photos from September2021 these grafts really took off in the last couple months! thought I would show their progression. grafting cacti is really the way to go for faster growth Here is one of the bigger lophophora x pachanoi, she pushed her very first flower recently and she does not stop making new pups! Here's one of my mothers, got loads of seeds off her over the years, she got a couple fruits full of seeds sitting on top (the messy dried up parts in the middle)

just don't let everyone know you can choke them out before having to do it the element of surprise will forever be in your favour! like not showing your weapon unless you ready to use it

Flipped on 30/01 as seen in the photo above, they where getting hungry, overall N but started seeing signs of fast progressing P deficiency especially on the Frosted Apricot in the middle. Did a topdress. Sprinkled about 5 to 10 ganulars of super phosphate on each pot, not even a gram for each. a cup of bonemeal, but the Frosted Apricot got a cup and a half. 2 cups of vermicompost for each. Took a little hand held rake tool and worked it into the top 5cm of soil, watered it all in with microbes. I got some new myco stuff from Jamie, BioCult, first time working with this for me. Treatmenst where done on 22/01, photos taken yesterday. looking much better, few leaves clawing here and there, I am keeping a close eye on it, will do 2 or 3 clean waterings then back to feed.

we all know it's getting worse, we all know why it's getting worse, but we're too comfortable to change. reminds me of an old classic

Well I don't mean to get technical or come up with solutions, because the problem is not just one thing, but the platform for all this is just human intervention. always has been. We didn't get here, because of some magic trick. We did it all to ourselves and that is the only thing I need to know, to be able to say that we can also undo it all. I am not talking bout going back to the stone age either, but we are clever enough to know what's causing the problem and what doesn't. if you didn't know what causes the problem, you wouldn't have said going down this "path of the future" just means it's going to get worse. like they say, "the power to change is in our hands"

I don't think boycotting big corporate and rallying trying to shut down nasa, space x and those guys will do much, it wont work at all, but as an individual I have the choice to either be part of what is gona make it worse or to not be part of that.

It doesn't have to get worse, though. The problem we face now is people shrugging their shoulders and saying "we've gone too far" we got here through human intervention, those who convince themselves that we can't go back are all just lying to themselves.

Well, I was never directly linked to them. The people on the farm probably still deal with them, but with me leaving the farm about 2 years ago I have lost touch with the rest of the team, just stayed friends with a guy that works there and don't really use big amounts of synthetic fertilizers so don't really go to them if I wanted stuff these days. Long before all that I did 3 coco grows with synthetic nutes, one half decent one, but then did a run in FF green bag with synthetic nutes and I had pretty good results, but then got that "no synthetics in living soil" lecture so stopped using synthetic stuff. all organic these days

Nice, I haven't tried any of their stuff for cannabis growing myself either. One of the farms I worked on before uses their stuff to grow commercial fynbos for export to Holland did business with them for a while so made a couple friends. good people

What's good almal I got a little gift from Haifa today some of you might have heard of people growing or trying to grow plants on the international space station. next month Haifa will be sending some of their synthetic nutes as part of a trial to grow some chickpeas in space !!! I am not directly linked to them, they did a little promo to celebrate this big milestone for their company, one of the gifts ended up in my hands and I like it a lot I have no idea what or why the little figurine, but it suits me well heres the website the barcode takes you to https://www.haifa-group.com/haifa-in-space

oooh I see yeah that throws the replacement seed idea out the window, but this is how we learn don't stress man! to know if the plant dropped pollen you'll have to inspect the whole plant to see if there was any mature pollen sacks that have opened. I wouldn't be able to tell from a photo. this is how they look when they open you got nice space to work with damn! If I had that space, here is what I would do. get tiny 10cm black plastic nursery pots, make sure you can fit about 20 of those pots in the 60x60 space. square pots work better for squeezing a bunch in next to eachother. get up to 16 material pots for the 150x150 space, 30/40L pots. whichever fit better with tiny bit of breathing space between the material pots. the 60x60 space you can use to put a nice size clone dome in, make up to 30 clones at a time. the first 20 cuttings that make roots go into the small pots. take the dome out the tent and veg those plants. you'll only need 13 to 15 to fill all the big pots in the big tent. as soon as the small tent is filled, the plants have pushed few nodes and formed nice root ball, repot into bigger pots. as soon as they're big enough take clones or pop new seeds in your small space. have them ready when the big tent is empty. harvest 13 to 15 plants every 3 to 4 months

ooooh shib my guy, where did you get those seeds? because that's a male, through and through. if it was labled a fem at least it should've flowered and then hermied, which would then make it a "swing both ways" kinda gender that thing dropped his balls before showing any signs of female reproductive "organs" so it looks like a straight male from birth. I'd ask for some replacement seeds. Maybe wait for some other growers to give their opinion on the small see-through cups, I am also still a noob and learning every day, but for the mean time just think of going to plant nurseries, they don't sell seethrough pots, no pot should be see through in my opinion. you sometimes find orchids in small see through pots, but that's because they grow with their roots exposed to light in nature aswell. as for the small pots and repotting autos, I just hear from the big time auto growers that's a no no... I only grow photoperiods. any auto growers wana give advice to our guy over here?

fuck I didn't even see those balls at first yeah, looks like a dude

Hey bud, sjew fok I can't see any pistils there, but the photo might just not show it. Look at the phots I posted here you gotta get into those nodes man nice and close up. then I just quickly wana adress something else, I see in this photo here.... Are these plants planted directly into the transparent cups? If so I would advise against it as roots don't wana see the light. they prefer it pitch black underground. and if the roots are stunted the rest of the plant will stunt too. then I also see you got a auto in that small cup. I have never grown autos myself, but word around town is they don't do well with repotting and any bit of stress will make them kick in their heels and show you the finger. rule of thumb with autos is to pop the seed straight in their final pot.
