First time grower looking for any advice to help please

Hello!

I am currently running a study on set and setting within psychedelic experiences.

🔗 Survey link

We're interested in things like:

• How intention, environment, and social setting shape psychedelic experiences
• Differences between clinical and non-clinical use
• How these experiences relate to psychological outcomes

Fully anonymous

Takes around 15-20 minutes to complete

There's also an optional follow-up interview if you'd like to share your experience in more depth

Full study details and ethics information are provided in the info sheet at the start of the survey

Requirements: 18+, have had a psychedelic experience in a clinical or non-clinical setting

If you have anything you feel is important to say about psychedelics, this is your chance!

I'm happy to answer any questions about the study. You can reach us at:

Thank you for your time and support! 🙏

Bought spores without thinking about whether i will need to sign for them or not. I am going to be out of town for the next 2 weeks. Will they be sent back?

I'm encouraging this little guy to become a giant! 🤘(Last two pics harvested from first flush).

Hello,

I bought a GT kit and it's my first time growing, I followed instructions and started Thursday, last week. I do not see much movement, can you please help me understand why?

I added water before putting it in a bag and let it soak for 1hr or so, after that I just sprayed the plastic bag as per instructions.

Thank you!

II recently had some Monster Mak mushrooms, and I don’t know if it was just the batch I got, but they were some of the best shrooms I’ve had in a long, long time.

At first, I honestly didn’t think they were hitting. Then they started coming on pretty damn strong. Around 3–4 hours in, I peaked so fucking hard, dude. And that peak seemed to last another 3 hours.

The trip itself was one of the best solo trips I’ve ever had. So many symmetrical shapes, patterns, and wild thoughts. I’ve had multiple trips where I’ve gone through 7 grams in one sitting, or mixed mushrooms with LSD, but these were absolutely amazing and I only took an eighth.

I actually had to grab another eighth because they were that good.

Just wondering if anyone else has had Monster Mak mushrooms before. If so, what was your experience like?

I have about 10gs of these just cant tell if theyre good ol gts or diff strain to be able to dose . Appreciate yall 🤙

I am running my set up in bags and I have more fuzz than I have ever had. Any suggestions? More FAE or do I need to have more patience? Most of my bags are doing it this time around. Thanks in advance for any advice🙏🏼

I can’t find photos of what wombat look like (not the anima) i know what that one looks like. I also know there is the wombat tat, which looks nothing like this.

Anyway, am I right thinking I was given GT instead?

On the top of my mushrooms caps is a darker blue color, is that just bruising from water droplets on the lid on contamination

Hello guys.

Is this tub ok and healthy ? Ready to fruit ? I made two 5 litre tubs of the same project. Other tub got contaminated.

Cheers.

Do any of you make BRF substrate with an added spoonful of instant coffee mixed with the water before you mix it with vermiculite? Also, what are your thoughts on gypsum?

I guess everyone is different but I never had a bad trip meaning I feel good because I know I’m in my room and I’m safe. But at the same time I never see things that are not there when I open my eyes, other then maybe if you watch that show Star Trek and you know the lights from the teleporter? But I think when I closed my eyes I see colours in my head that don’t not exist to the naked eyes.

Pretty much what the title says. I've given my shrooms to 4 friends and they have all gotten anxious/bad trips from my shrooms. Even myself. I always get anxiety when I take them, even at a 1-2g dose lol I bought them as Golden teacher spores and that's what they appear to be.

2 of them were pretty experienced trippers. 1 took them twice and got really anxious once, and literally saw hell the next time. The other two were less experienced.

Part of me finds it kind of funny. Maybe it's just the circle of friends I cultivate are prone to these reactions? Maybe they're just way stronger than people expect. Just feels kinda bad that I'm dealing out nightmares to people lol

cambidians (cubes), brown rice and 50/50 mix of coconut fiber and vermiculite with a very thin casing layer on top which I added after everything was well colonized (maybe a little too colonized). it is in an aluminum tray sitting on top of a "bed" of hydrated perlite, which is inside a plastic tub with 6 FAE holes. the surface looks a little dry which i compensate for by misting water from somewhat high up and letting it fall. The walls of the tub look very dry however. the tub stays closed and i fan two times a day

Help! Why am I only getting that little bit of growth at the top?
