Im looking forward to the journey with it. I like to consider myself a pretty experienced dude in this but man.....I don't know the first thing about organic growing let alone soil grows in general. I've always considered the guys/girls that master this pretty much at the top of their game. Lets be real. Hydro is fun and has it's place for production but in the way of fundamentals its pretty cut and dry minus the plant side of it. So much so I recently had a buddy with zero experience just take off to the races following some directions and guidance. I always like seeing people push themselves out of their comfort zones and try new things. Can't really say one way or the other till you try it yourself. Cheers buddy to the upcoming show. Hope to see nothing but good shizz (no pressure 🍻 haha)

: Just kidding ALL THE PRESSURE 🙃 . I'm watching like a hawk. Squawwww.

Well I think im figuring this EJ stuff out. It needs to bubble for 2 days, for sure. And it needs to bubble for 2 days over 65f and it has to start at 4ph or above. Im going to need to incorporate a bit of well water with my lakewater to bring the starting ph above 7.5 in order to hit a solution ph over 4 to get the bennies activated.
Also ill be seperating some of the products for seperate applications. Next feed will be just grow and a dash of bloom. The feeding after that itll just get catalyst. After that, Grow/bloom again... etc. Having everything in the res simply makes it too sour. And having a lot of insoluble nutrients should make feed cycles with just catalyst totally fine without causing any osmotic stress.

But the plants look awesome today. They are doing a lot of up and down leaf movement and have a nicer shade of green to them than they did yesterday morning. I dont think they enjoyed sleeping out in the cold.. But bumping the temp both lights on and off up to 27 or so has really helped i think.

Currently getting a sulphur burn for an hr and a half. Cant skimp on ipm this time of year.

Earth juice is starting to foam and has gone from 4ph to 4.4 overnight. Should hopefully be up into the 6's by tomorrow.

@beluga check this out. Liberty caps are almost done for the season but these beauties are just starting to emerge. And they're everywhere.... This place is covered in them.

Ive always been too nervous to try these things. Have you ever heard of a proper method of consumption besides feeding them to reindeer and then drinking the reindeers piss? 🤣😂😅😌😐😔🤢🤮

Nope. Purgatives are where I draw the line with hallucinogens.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to do the whole piss thing, but I never really looked into it very far.
Mostly out of fear of their toxicity. In my kinkier states of mind, I could probably work up the... something... to drink pee for a unique experience.🤷‍♂️

I remember kids telling me not to waste my pee after eating psilocybin mushrooms or LSD...
I'm like, 'A. I'm already tripping. B. You can go 🤬 yourself.'

Amanitas do have a very mystic and tempting appeal to them though...

Same. Im not interested in violent barfing for hrs just to get a trip. But the history and mythology around this mushroom and its symbolism has always fascinated me.

Ive always wondered if the "blue juice" ice cube extraction method would pull out the psychoactive compounds and leave the toxic shit behind.

But yeah, never had the urge to try it myself. Too many safer mushrooms to play with.

The PNW is a pretty special place.. Amazing to see the variation of psychadelic mushrooms that grow wild here, not to mention chantrelles, morels, lobsters, turkey tail, lions mane, and literally thousands more.
Paul Stamets has a mycology center on cortez island which is a couple islands over from where i live. He does talks and presentations there, ive been meaning to attend one one of these days.

Yeah, I'm envious of you PNW folks.
My heart's over here in the mid-Atlantic, however.
With climate change, we're starting to see very similar weather patterns, but you guys got that special ocean effect (that I totally forget the name of.)
Our mushroom population has been booming like crazy and the land that my house sits on is mostly Oak... needless to say, I'm smitten with anticipation of what I'll find and what kind of stuff I can plug logs with.
Wish I had a picture of it... but, the Oak maybe 10 feet from my front door had the biggest Chicken of the Woods I've ever seen around here that fruited only a couple months after moving in 😍😍. Ganoderma, sooo many boletes that will take me forever to identify... and that's just the stuff in the "landscaped" part.

The whole "Santa claus" theory and the Sacred mushroom and the cross book about early christians essentially being a mushroom cult always seemed pretty wild to me. Interesting stuff to read up on when your blitzed.

I should clarify this. I definitely have and will likely again take purgative hallucinogens.
There's something... very cathartic and cleansing about the experience. It's briefly unpleasant before (purging) and after (cleanup) the experience, but if you prepare yourself well and make a ritual of it, it becomes a... purging is the best word for it.
You feel unburdened from all that material shit (including the baggage of your attachment to physical reality) and it really helps in that letting-go to allow yourself to have a pure experience.
You can also take care in making the concoctions so to filter out the majority of those nauseating substances so that it doesn't persist for much, if any, of the experience.
I.e. - I've never shat myself or projectile vomited.

I got a bit more than i bargained for with my microdose today. I've spend a couple months off and on microdosing the last year, and have been on 'em ever since the liberty caps started to flush a month or so ago.

How i do it for simplicity is i just eat either one single larger mushroom or two little ones, once before breakfast and again before supper. I find i need about 10 of these to get really high, so 1/10 is for sure on the micro spectrum. And funny enough being such a low dose even then sometimes i feel it. Like today...lol, i ate one biggun for breaky and all morning i was yawning and felt a little vibrational. oops lol.

There's a lot of inconsistency in potency especially in wild mushrooms. Even ones that have been bred to a certain extent can sometimes give you an entire flush that does hardly anything to you. Never happened to me, but you hear about it a lot.

Best thing to do with those wild boys would be to grind them all up real fine and try a certain weight to see where your perceptive dosage is.
Then scale down from there.

Absolutely how i normally prepare them for macrodosing for sure. I kinda like the surprise of not knowing what to expect from my microdoses. Once in a while im blown away at how strong one tiny mushroom can be.

And so true, even seasonal variation in potency. Some years theyre more potent than others. I remember one year distinctly they were off the charts potent. They flushed in an unusual spot for them where i rarely ever see them so it must have been a unique genetic variation of libs. They were way bigger than normal too and just towered over the grass. But holy christ lol, 3 of us split 5 grams. Ground it up and mixed with dark chocolate.. That was newrly the highest ive ever been. And i swear we were high in like 20 mins. It hit us like a ton of bricks. Was a perfect evening really.

Lol besides the part where we almost lit the forest on fire.
We had a big bonfire in the snow not knkwing that under the snow was a pile of wood scraps and shavings from a wood mill. We noticed our feet getting warm and all of a sudden the snow started melting a 20 foot perimiter around the bonfire to reveal a 40 x 40 foot patch of burning wood mill debris. So off we went to get the tractor, mount a 200 gallon sprayer, and drive up into the woods high as a kite to extinguish this fire... oi.. Thankfully we were coming down a bit by this point.

This was my Saturday night.
I pretty much always make tea. Did the same thing as I usually do, but, because of that inconsistency... must have gotten a wildcard handful.
I took them, told my wife, started to clean up the kitchen (I always clean my house on the come-up 🤷‍♂️) and, I kid you not, five minutes after ingestion I was standing there stunned with the warm faucet water trickling over my hands while I starting dazing out at our geometric rug below my feet.
She's like, "you alright there, little buddy?"
I just looked over at her with that stupefied ear-to-ear grin.
She's like, "damn! Alright, lets turn the lights down..."

Could have been something we had for dinner. Maybe the specific wine... I dunno. There are a lot of MAOI's and the like in everyday foods and especially spices.
