General topics / Ive missed you guys...
December 19, 2010, 06:42:00 PM
I try my best not to take anything for granted. Im not a religious man, but I thank god I have what I have. You know, eyes, ears, legs, a roof over my head, all the things you usually dont think about being grateful for. 2010 has been, by FAR, the worst year of my life. I truly hope the best for ALL of you guys.

I guess I just want all of you to think about giving you mom or dad a hug or something. Something you TRULY havent done in a long time. Maybe just telling them you love them. Or your brothers, or sisters, whomever. Sometimes people who are so close dont see whats right in front of them. Ive made that mistake. As embarassing as it is to express yourself to your family, I suggest doing it. Telling your family you love them can NEVER be a mistake.

Happy Holidays everybody. I miss you all alot, and I hope with the coming new year, ill be able to get back on track and back into a hobby that I truly loved.

...Love...Sine Qua Non...

PF - Tek / Question on a Weird Mistake...
February 28, 2010, 08:59:41 PM
So, I accidentally forgot to do the Roll part of the Dunk and Roll...(i know...i know...)   :rolleyes:

My questions are... Do I need to roll them in vermiculite now, or are they ok as is? If they are ok as is, would you guys recommend I roll them anyway? Is it safe to just roll them now even though they have been sitting in the FC for about 18 - 20 hours now?

I was trying to do this at 6 am before work, and I just TOTALLY forgot. Been a rough week for me...

Thanks in advance for all your help guys.

PF - Tek / Pinning Question...
February 09, 2010, 06:52:43 PM
Quick question guys. Can't seem to find the answer anywhere...

What should I do about my cakes pinning in the jars? I wanted to dunk before I put them in the FC, but I don't know what to do about the pins. Should I remove the pins then dunk, or dunk with the pins? Or should I just put them in the FC and dunk on the second flush?   :huh:

Thanks as always guys. I'll try to throw some pics up as soon as I can.
   ^_^

PF - Tek / The Pics I Promised!!!
January 30, 2010, 07:42:09 PM
Well, these are my jars. Only Dancing Tiger right now, considering that the Malabars are a bit slower and you can't really see what's going on.  ^_^


These 2 pics are from Jan 21, 2010. One week after Innoculation. Dancing Tiger.  ^_^



These are Pictures of the same Jars, taken today, 1/30/2010. This is my most colonized jar. The second pic is of the bottom of the jar.  ^_^

On another note, it appears that 4 of the Malabar Jars now have some mycelium growing. Woot! That's all for now. I'll throw some more pictures up later, hopefully with some better quality and lighting, lol. Can't wait to birth these guys and fruit them. Good Luck on your projects guys!  ^_^

Thanks for everything guys, couldnt have done it without all of your help.  ^_^

General topics / Fresh VS Dried
December 02, 2009, 01:26:10 AM
Couple of questions on the fresh and dry mushroom dosages.

1. Whats a good scale to go by when eating fresh shrooms? For instance, does 30 grams fresh equal 3 grams dry? Or is there a better system for Fresh Mushroom dosage.

2. Are shrooms really more potent fresh?

3. Which do you guys prefer? Fresh or Dried?

Thanks Guys!  ^_^

General topics / Air Cleaning Questions
November 20, 2009, 02:27:44 PM
I see how alot of people use Lysol (shroomzer = lysol queen, lol), but i was wondering about a product called Ozium. i was wondering if it would be more harmful than good for air sanitation, or if i should just stick to lysol. Any input would be greatly appreciated  ^_^

p.s. Has anyone ever gotten spores called "Dancing Tiger - China" from ralphsters or any other vendor? just curios how they turned out for you. Thanks guys.

PF - Tek / Tropic Aire Questions
November 10, 2009, 09:26:47 PM
Hey guys, I decided to invest in a Tropic Aire. It just seems like it would be a good investment. But, being new at this, i have a few questions, lol.

1. Do i need to purchase a dual output air pump as well?
2. If i need a dual output air pump, how exactly would that be set up?
3. Will i need to buy more hoses for this to work?

I read the post where you guys explain how you have it set up, i just kinda dont get it. Thanks guys.

General topics / Hiya...You Guys n Gals Rock
November 09, 2009, 01:40:07 PM
Hey guys. Im new to the forum, but i feel like i know you all already. I've been researching how to grow shrooms for over 2 months now ( i dont like to be unprepared...) and this site has given me the most helpful information i could possibly ask for. I kinda only joined because you guys all seem so friendly and helpful, and i didnt want to not say thanks for all the help you unknowingly gave me.

So, the question...Why am i trying to grow shrooms. Where i live, i dont ever get shrooms. ever. its easier for me to get heroin and crack (no never done either, just saying). Last time i was able to get mushrooms was about 3 years ago (i know right?). The only time i can get shrooms is when a friend goes away and brings some back from someplace. Even under those conditions, ive still taken mushrooms about 10 times.

To sum it up...i just want some damn shrooms...even if i have to grow them myself. Im sure you guys know how i feel.
