An update...

Bro sent me some pics yesterday.

He said not soaking for the first flush was a mistake...much lighter fruiting, greatly reduced yield.
Here they are on the 2nd flush...

The pans were starting to fruit up nicely...

But the bed was off to a slow start...

Then I got another e-mail today, titled Never do cakes again.
Evidently the pans have blown up...

Excellent Bob! Mucho appreciate the updates and info. I've been busy with the typical working man issues of late. I'm still holding on to a couple (2) modest doses but my cakes are long expired. Definitely going with the grains next time around.
Is your bro still going with the air pumps for the grain bags?

It would certainly appear the grain bags do much better, which doesn't surprise me. If you think aboot it, the cakes use less food, most of their bulk is vermiculite...whereas with the grain bags, the whole thing is food. They take longer, but if the yield is better, who cares. Still want to see the tub take off. I will contact bro today, but I'm fairly certain he is using the air-pumps for the trays...not sure aboot the tub.

Okay, just got off the phone. Yes, he is using the air pump on both the trays and the bed.

Just for comparison...
The 1st round was 4 syringes in 18 jars...little over 120 gm total.
In the 2nd round, 1 syringe in 2 trays...92 gm in the 1st flush.
Each tray was 1 grain bag and 1 casings bag.

*edit* Bro hasn't felt the need to make syringes...makes too much $$, and the syringes are only $20 each.


The bed is starting to fruit...

They are a bit different looking...

Bro did the first pull on the bed.

These are definitely different looking from other cubes...

Some big puppies for sure...

It may be that the pans are better than the bed, yield-wise...

We will just have to wait and see what the final dry weights are.

Bro says, from what he's been reading, the PE are supposed to be aboot twice the potency of other cube varieties. I hope so...I'm looking forward to trying them. :woohoo:

Forth test is done. This time was the Cambodian. We forgot to drink OJ with them. Onset was aboot 50 minutes. These have been the weakest so far. Mostly body effect, not much of a head buzz. Still, a pretty good feeling of well-being.



Bro is down to just the PE tub now. When he's done, I will post up yield comparisons...for both strain and method.



Brought home a bunch of the B+. Aboot a 1/4 oz. for me to hero dose in a couple weeks, and aboot a 1/2 oz to give my buddy who provided the 'shrooms that got us started down this road. Sharing those with my brother has turned out way better than I could have ever envisioned.:)

Ghetto dehydrating seems to work fine in my experience, not a fussy business. A cheap dehydrator is fine. The dehydrated shrooms last a year easy in sealed dry, dark storage I'm guessing they'd last even longer although some deterioration seems eventually inevitable. Tea works great, once the powdered dried shrooms have steeped it seems to me like all the psychoactive stuff is in the tea, you can toss the solids.
