people have used "bottles" for years, since the 60s atleast. the open/exposed substrate on the top allows for the air exchange, and the mushrooms grow towards it. You will get less crops than a casing method however. Even still, you WILL get mushrooms, probably a 1/8th oz every flush, dried.

goodluck. make sure you pick the entire mushroom, including whats underneath the ground. don't just snap it off at the base. you need entire mushrooms for identification. also dont use plastic bags, get wax paper or else they will turn to shit in a few hrs and get very 'mushy' ;)

'tripping' from the 'come-up' including the 'come-down'?? I remember a 10 hr trip on LSA (H Woodrose); Also, 8 hour trip on mushrooms (cubensis). These #'s dont count the pre/post trip, but the visuals/mood change at its peak! Have not tried 5 days straight, that sounds very unpleasant. I...

get a live specimen if you wanna deal with cactus. also, look into peruvian torch.

looking tasty

the first picture is amanita muscaria. very popular, and u can tell it right away. you can eat it, but be careful because you will get very high (it doesnt have psilobin, but other "acids", and musicmol), and may have some stomach pains. if you want to identify magics, you have to learn how to...

these cups are perfectly fine. you want something that allows you to "hit" the cake out of afterwards. Some jars cave inwards, others have a lip outwards (like the picture). make sure you add the top layer of DRIED verm in your mix, and put on a proper lid with some microporous materials.

get hawaiian baby woodrose next time. 100x more LSA compared to MGS. there is no point in eating 100's of morning glory seeds anymore.

also, peroxide 'works' but is not very efficient and in the long-run will just bring about more problems. get a pressure cooker, and learn how to do grain to grain transfers and spore prints. you will thank me later.

lysol doesn't work for what you are trying to avoid. contaminations come from the air, instruments and substrate. if you want a spray, make 1 part bleach to 9/10 parts water. spray 10-15 minutes before you work. watch when mixing alcohol if you decide to use this. also, get a pressure cooker...

Cold shocking is a very effective method for producing mushrooms. Not to mention it helps to rehydrate your substrates. However, you really only do this when you are using cakes. With regards to the room temperature: mycelium will colonize at this temperature, but at a slower rate. Colonization...

looking booooooooh

I've already replied to this thread too many times as is :spew: this will be my last one :peace: and goodluck.

Your practices aren't crap; like I said you're getting pin sets. They can be improved. Also, this is a sub section of on a weed growing forum, if you want to start getting into definitions for our online actions. What a hot head. it is lucky for you we are separated by computer screens.:peace:

the fresh leaves are chewed for 20 minutes, and you absorb the Sal. A/B chemicals sublingually. Also, you can make extract or tincture, but I definitely do not have enough for that.

Are you dripping? Is there drainage? And is the pot filled all the way with those rocks?

bleach: not for the air, for surfaces. If you are worried about airborne contaminants get a flow hood. Lysol may "work" for you, but i'm guessing its coincidence since it doesn't kill what you want dead in the air anyways. Its nice to know you are well-rounded and don't just want to study cubes...

That's fine. Even a "pro" should take criticism and improve his craft. Cultivating any species of any organism is an evolving craft. A personal method is great, and if it works then by all means use it to your heart's content. For example, he uses lysol spray. 10% bleach spray is 100x better...

That torrent is excellent. RR is a legend at this point in terms of mass education. Stamets and Chilton *mushroom cultivator* is the name; is also a good read, if you can find the e-book or purchase a real copy.

Get a spore print, and make your own syringes. A good sized spore print can make atleast 20 syringes of good spore count. Syringes for 20$ are a waste of money from online retailers. Or just spore print your own if you can grow one.
