Even no penetration has taken place, I feel the Shroom Gods knocking on my door.....All my conditional fears running like a river in my mind, my heart rate is up, palms sweat... but I fight, I have a big paddle a huge will...
the battle continues..

cheers fungees! :wacko:

Persevere joyfully that's the best advise thanks!

Well, the only thing I got done is cleaning... 5 non stop hours, so clean the area echos, it never did that before, "Suck butt" hard work!. Reality hits! whatever time you  plan to get something  done multiply that by 10. I should have realized that, it happens all the time with everything I do! :angry:

Back to work.. wish me good "Bud Blow" Cheers soldiers!

Well Soldiers the waiting starts

this is my very first attempt I got pics but I'm to dumb to download. it could have been flawless but I did make one mistake (possible terminal) I'll see... what happen is that I got cute and put filter lids under the jar cap and when it was time to stick the needle it would not go thru  ^_^ LOL! I had to open jar and remove filter... however it was very clean ( used the "spray lysol until limited visibility method") you know what I mean....and the jars where pc 1hour 18psi and all and all I was extremely ---- about the cleanlyness

also I need to get wide mouth jars. I see why they are used now... because less needle is exposed....I learned a boat load and so far it looks very doable also work with 6 @ a time is good for nooby I did 12 too much for a nooby first timer.... any ways what did I learn so far is this
follow the PF to the T

cheers!

The wide mouth jars are used so you can get the cake out after it's colonized. That doesn't matter so much if you are crumbling and casing or spawning them.

Wow! second round finished huge rush, this time it went much better but @ jar # 9 disaster struck! I pricked my finger with the needle... deep and blood squirted out had to end it right there and improvise!  ^_^ well that's what happens when you are a nooby, but that is the type of stuff that makes you learn.... one can never prepare for everything....It does take practice....so I did my best now I pray and chant to the SHROOM GOODS to be kind to me....and let me fruit.

Cheers!

that might be all I have left.........went out and scored on some horse poop...it was a most pleasant day, 75 sunny no wind some rain far in the distant rare in this neck of the woods. Went to a horse riding trail 60 miles long about 1 hour from my urban life..the poop was far in between so I got a good walk..I did not see anyone all by my lonesome..got about 15lbs I wanted more but this is ok for 1st time... it's good stuff field quality I feel like smoking it since I'm down to roaches and shake... sweet stuff. out of 24 jars inoculated I only see 4 with snowflakes after 17 days better than nothing will see the battle continues.

good bud blow to all soldiers! cheers...

Lot's of thinking about mycology going on in my little tiny brain.... somewhere in this site I said the holy herb is harder to cultivate... well I've changed my mind.. it's not.. I could be over my head with this stuff.. I'm having fun that is all that matters.. in the end..

Cheers soldiers!

What do you have for a temp where you are incubating? Also did you use a pre made spore syringe or did you make your own? Sometimes when you buy a spore syringe they barley put any spores in them from my knowledge.

Hello Vandalxx,
started @ 74 for a few days then up to 85 by the second week, I think you hit the nail square on the head.... I bought the syringes(4)  and when I looked inside I realized some had very little spores some had much more, I think one of the keys is to  get lots of spores in that 1cc shot

these microscopy syringes might not cut it who knows....they might be for just that.. you live and learn! ^_^

I got spores that I bought 12 years ago and did not use because I did not know about the PF method, it was all petri dish advance stuff in a lab so I did not even try... so it's time to use these and make my own syringes, I'm not sure what the species of spore print I have is..is it a fact or myth that there are easier species to cultivate?

Take care Vandalxx and enjoy what life brings you! cheers...

28 days later.....4/28 final score of the first half! I think I'm falling off the face of the earth...little virgin boy is hearing tiny voices...as I looked at the jars and thanked the Lord for the appearance I kept hearing a voice saying " planet workers pull your head out of your ar's" whatever that means..
boy I don't know...

cheers.. :huh:

 ^_^ greetings soldiers! hope all is well in your world....

well I'm still waiting for the 4 jars to colonize fully, I'm amazed there is no sign of contamination. 21 days ago I did another batch with my last  vendor syringe. This new batch went 6 for 6 and will be ready to fruit soon I'll give it 2 more weeks......so I'll wait to do the original 4. I'm thinking to colonize poop in a basket outdoors as an experiment with one of the 4 originals I'm still thinking on that one. All I can say so far is that it's still happening! the battle continues... thank the Lord...

Soldiers, while waiting I've been spraying some heavy ammunition on the enemy. Got myself some salvia and cheech since salvia will be illegal in less than a month from now in my battle field.  :angry: I'm not going down alive soldiers! I choose to fight...

Good bud blow to all! cheers!  :wacko:

 ^_^ ok soldiers, Im tired of waiting I have 4 jars 50%-60% colonized after many weeks I don't know I lost count I would say about 10 weeks. I think this is as good as it gets. Not a success my first attempt was comical....this gets a " Don't quit your day job" rating
also I have 6 jars that look much better 70-90% colonized after 5 weeks. THis one I did as good as one can and I would rate this one as HONORABLE ATTEMPT

So, I really do not know what a full and healthy colonized jar looks like since I've not seen one but I can imagine and I'm almost there not bad for a nooby. So tonight I dunk the cakes. It's been very hot here, not usual, I'll be tested I'm sure The green mold loves this hot sticky humid weather.

So I will cut the parts of cake that did not colonize and proceed I do not think that waiting any longer is worth it at this point.

Just a nooby to nooby sharing .... IT looks like it takes a long time to colonize BRF jars they say 3 weeks but I think that is with lots of experience. Expect more time for the first time, but maybe it's just my incompetence who knows...

SO... to boldly go where no man has gone before! cheers! hope everyone is having a good summer!

Ya man, just make sure you follow the PF tek to a tee. I follow it exact and make my own spore syringes and i get pretty good growth on all my jars within one week. Make sure you have everything just right and you will have better luck. Dont give up.

Greeting Soldiers,

This mission is now accomplished! here is the debriefing:

40g of fresh was harvested from one cake
20g was consumed by me
20g was consumed by my buddy

We both had the same experience:

started 40 minutes later with a tingling or electrical sensation all over the body
next I felt sedated ( comfy numb)
felt different walking, like muscle reacted a second later after brain command
next I did not want to move, stoned in one place and position
It was 100 degrees and sweat dripped down my neck but I did not feel hot or cold just that " the sweat"
I entered a place of much tranquility ( the part I liked the most) felt like sleep
space felt different like the room was all there was nothing outside, a little crunched along the width
I yawned like crazy
I crashed at the end ( 2.5 hours later)

I'm still trying to digest it all and I can see that it will take time to shape the experience but I have to say that it was positive  -_-

I thank all the soldiers who stand watch over this site and kindly guide all the noobys!

Hope to see you all on the dark side of the moon! cheers.....
