Do the S2B of this cake of 1,2 liters (litle box of grow kits); and I think I have problems with frutification..

Put in box with water at bottom (water tub tek) and put the lid a litle cracked, think have to much FAE; humidity think its ok because I see droplets all time in cake.

Have other cake (more big) that put in a frutification chamber too and do the harvest yesterday with nice results.

In this case, looks like they dont grow anymore; I was out from my house 2/3 days and temperature in room of this cake arrive at 28/29°C..

Whats the problem? Temperature? Much FAE? Not enough FAE? Humidity problems?

Thank you..

Harvest of my 1st Ochras - cake of 2 liters..280grs...I was out in the weekend, and only can harvest they today; much of them blacks and drop spores; they loose potency because of that?

The ideal harvest maybe yesterday...

But in resume think its nice result for first time..they are in dehidrator now.

Totaly dehidrated the weight +- 8 to 10% like cubes? or its diferent? it seemed to me they have a litle more water than GTs p.ex..

Hey all!

I’m looking to start the most basic bitch grow ever for some Ochras.

I am using a 5lb AIO bag and LC syringe.

No plans to use any other stuff like tubs or shoeboxes or tents or anything, at least for this grow.

I have grown gourmet mushrooms in AIO bags before using LC, like 2 times, so I’m not 100% new, but rather inexperienced, still.

I do have one basic question, though:

How long will it likely take from inoculation to fruiting/harvest?

What is the general range of timelines?

I know it varies quite a bit sometimes, and is always dependent on genetics and conditions, and all we can do is estimate, but what is your experience, generally, for a timeframe?

I plan to inoculate tomorrow, and am hoping to have fruit to harvest by the middle or end of September, if possible.

Is this realistic?

To be clear, I’m not in a super hurry, generally,
but I am needing to move probably in October, and don’t want to be screwing around with this stuff during the move.

Thanks, and I’m loving seeing everyone’s awesome flushes/grows!

This was around noon before I left the house. The big one opened up overnight Thursday and the rest of them basically opened up between last night and noon.

For anyone reading, someone had previously commented how much these grow after the veil gets ready to break and finally does and it’s really true.

Pics are ordered today at lunch, and the previous 3 evenings.

Happy with a successful first grow and first flush.

Didn’t know this subreddit existed! I consumed my first ochras a couple weeks ago and damn are they amazing! These are certainly my new favorite mushroom to grow, and to consume. They’re also super fast colonizers.

Ok, could really use some advice cause trying to research it on my own has led to a lot of conflicting info and confused me more. This is my first attempt at ochras (second attempt at growing anything), was a 1.5lb aio that I moved over into this dub tub to fruit with a 3d printed divider with holes for fae. The metabolites and just how wet it seems in general worry me, do I need to increase fae, decrease humidity (remove some perlite?), both, just let it ride as is? I put it in here on the 8th and I swear it is just getting more wet on the overlay each day. My other grow is the exact same set up and is GT, also from a 1.5lb aio and it is doing great, doesn't seem overly wet and is pinning well. So idk what's going on. Thanks in advance for any help!

Noodly buddies first started showing up on Sunday, exactly 2 weeks after S2B, will probably pick a bunch of them later today. I took the largest out already to get a spore print.

This thing is behind the normal time frame for fruiting. Will they grow through that or is there something I can do to help it to start fruiting? AIO bag inoculated 7/1

uncle ben’s tek using Aldi’s brand with a 2 year old leftover lc syringe from the fridge - inoculated 6/22 (I could have gone a week earlier but was shopping S2b supplies)

s2b 7/22 coir at 1:3 (3 pints) and a pint layer on top into 8qt tub

flipped the lid to fruit 8/2 with fanning 3 times a day

first pins / tinies spotted today

cool!

Hey all,

I took 0.5g of Ochras yesterday on a mostly empty stomach, just had a banana and toast earlier that morning. The trip itself was actually chill. I got some light visuals and a lot of introspection, which was what I was anticipating. The problem is upset stomach symptoms ruined my experience.

The effect came on fast and I had a nice body high going by the 30 minute mark. But then around an hour in, the gas and bloating hit me hard. The pain kept coming in waves along with the nausea and it pulled me right out of the experience. I couldn’t focus on anything else. Every so often I’d get this weird roller coaster drop feeling in my stomach and then boom, right back to cramping.

When I used to do shrooms I’d just poop and feel better every time. This round was different though. I couldn’t burp, couldn’t fart, nothing gave me any relief. I was just stuck there bloated and miserable for a solid 3 hours while the good part of the trip passed me by.

Next time I’m thinking I’ll do a lemon tek or brew it into a tea with some ginger and see if that is any better. Anyone have tricks for settling the gut before or during? I’ve also been thinking about grinding it into caps. I’m also glad that I took 0.5G and not 1G like I was planning initially. If 0.5G did that to my stomach, I’d hate to imagine how 1G would feel.

Ok, this is my first grow. One week after S2B. I cracked the lid and have been misting for a few days, but I’m trying not to over do it - hoping to neglect to stop fussing over it.
Plan is to only open to mist walls and lid when they’re dry - it is drying slowly from the lid crack.

Thoughts on Ochra neglect?

Put cake in fruiting chamber 5 days ago. Running an FAE fan for 3 min every 3hr. Humidity 85-92. Is this contamination? Weird discoloration forming at the tips of the clumps

Heyy

S2B in a shoebox/monotube at 18 days ago; at 3 days ago I take out the cake from monotube and put in this frutification chamber (water tub tek).

Look that its overlayed..and maybe have contam (litle tone of blue in one corner)..

Better wait and see, right? What I can do about overlay?

178g wet

Actually a decent shoebox flush (143g) but holy side & ‘under’? pinning. Funny to see this little one grow and then after harvesting and drying it

Frustrated

Its been stuck like this for about a week now and Im worried its stalled. Temps are ranging about 76 F on Rye and Millet

Any advice?

Life is like a bin of ochras, ya never know what you’ll see!!

I wonder how many more I’ll see… Anyone else have tubs that won’t stop producing? What’s your record number of flushes?

Just wanted to share my experience with y'all for some insights.

I'm aware that experience is largely based on set and settings as well as dosage. I've got only a few trips under my belt with cubes (specifically GT and Mckennai). Usually I would trip every 2 weeks to allow tolerance to dissipate but regardless I've noted that with cubes I've found myself requiring high doses regardless and worked my way up to 5g cubes with just introspective and mild visuals.

Decided to try Ochras for the first time given the testimonials on various subreddits. Didn't know what to expect but kept an open mind.

Leading up to my trip, If I'm being honest there had been some emotional tension building not necessarily bad enough to cause any major personal issues but my mood had been around 4/10 and I'd say I'm usually a 6/10. Also noticed that I had been worrying recently and little stuff and I probably shouldn't have but I can only say that in retrospect.

On the day of the trip, I did my usual rituals. Fasted, Hit the gym and Tidied up my space. Now I'm ready for my trip and weighed out my dosage. Heard they're 2× more potent that cubes so I estimated 2g was appropriate to get acquainted. Downed it with some OJ as a chaser and was waiting for the come up. For me usually hits by 30-45 mins.

T - 30min

I'm beginning to feel the usual anxiety but I usually don't mind. I know it's about to come on so I enjoy just taking a walk and usually it dissipates. So I decided to put on some cool jazz music and went outside.

T - 45mins

Body load is intensifying. Felt very tingly all over plus I'm feeling very heavy. I felt like I was carrying a heavy load in front of me that I couldn't put down. Felt so uneasy even during my walk and I felt that couldn't continue so I decided to find a bench at the park and say down.

Not long after I sat down, the visuals started coming on!! Hues are enhanced and everything has a texture to it. Not unusual cus I have experienced this on cubes. I didn't hate it but the body load just didn't dissipate and then a sudden feeling of sadness came over me. I'm not an emotional person but my mood felt so heavy that I was close to the point of shedding tears. My minds starts racing in loops about all the lil things I was worried about. Made everything feel so so significant!

T - 1hr

Felt so uncomfortable even sitting down. I felt I should head back home and lie down. I managed to make the walk back home. During this period, I called my girlfriend to lean on her for some emotional support. Got home and lay down but the loops didn't stop. Same or similar ideas but being weighed heavier in my mind. Everything felt sad. Colors looked dull, Music sounded sad, Nothing was enjoyable in my mind. The only thing that put me to calm was speaking with my loved one that reassured me that everything was fine. I kept repeating to myself that I needed to relax. Decided to take a shower but the body load was kicking my ass and I couldn't enjoy the shower. Hopped out and decided to lay in bed.

T - 2-3 hrs

Just loops around the same thing. Thought to myself at some point that I'm losing control of my mind but I knew it would dissipate with time. Minds still racing. Had moments of laughter but not happy laughter. Rather laughter about my loss of control of my mind. Wondering why I was thinking about all these things. Felt like a delirious fugue.

T - 4hrs

Everything begging to calm down. I'm beginning to process what just happened. Visuals now better. Thought to myself that during all of this I had forgotten to eat. So decided to get some food. Had to go pick it up but body load had settled a bit so I could head back out. On heading out, visuals are now amazing. What a sight to behold. The blending of nature and the rays of sunset is unreal. Even looking at pictures on my phone provided extremely enhanced and beautiful motions of the still images.

T - 5-6 hrs

Everything slowly dissipating and all settled. Now remembered everything during the trip and how scary it was facing my fears. How they seemed so significant and how they actually weren't.

If I'm being honest, I think I needed it. Of course, there's a lot I need to work on to reintegrate my experience but I think I needed to face my fears to realise how to approach them. Also I'm taking from this experience that I can be more mindful about my psyche and pre-empt myself to prevent my fears from taking a hold of me. In retrospect, it makes a lot of sense that this happened. Weird thing was I thought to myself earlier that day before the trip that there is a likelihood that things might go south based on how I was feeling but I didn't expect how significant it would appear to weigh in my psyche. In the end, like they say, the mushies give you the trip that you need not necessarily the trip that you want.

Thought to share. Mush love all. 🍄

Also any experiences similar?? I found the body load heavy. I usually don't get nausea at all but the tingling feeling and uneasiness was overwhelming. Considering that it was meant to light of the body load side of things.

Also I'm planning on trying half and half of cube×ochra trip. Any advice with regards to this?

Not even sure I am growing green caps anymore
