If worse comes to worse, I can try again. But this is what I did...
Took cuttings from lower part of plants, put in water. Cut 45 degree under water and made small nicks with xacto knife under water.
Covered wet stem with rooting compound.
Placed in pots that are a mix of 1/3 Perlite, 1/3...
Ok, another question about changing lights to flower... I had poster earlier and someone said that a HPS for flowering is the way to go.
But... in regards to Fluorecents; does changing to a warmer bulb/s (3000K) do any good?
The space is 3ft x 3ft with six 3400 lumen, 6500 K(daylight) bulbs...
Does anyone know if you can safely put 4 foot, 75 watt bulbs into 40 watt Fluorescent fixtures?
I saw at Lowes that they had 75wt fluoro tubes. But anything I have seen (or have) as far as hanging shoplights are all for 40 watt bulbs or less.
At first there were no problems, but after dosing 2-3 times a week for over a year I noticed itching when dosing. Even after holding off for months... the same symptoms occured. Benedryl at the start of a trip helps now (50mg).
There have never been any recorded deaths from Psilocybe...

As far as flowering: "Bio-bloom" (also an organic molasses based product) is a...
You can get syringes at the Farmers co-op. They use them for giving animals shots. Just go in and tell them you need some 20 guage 2 inch syringes to give your large dogs shots. Works every time and they are dirt cheap and sterile.
Yes, heat is what starts the growth of the mycellium. The ideal temp range is 75- 78 degrees ambient air. In other words; the air around the jars should be 75-78. The temp in the jars tend to be about 3 degrees higher than ambient. Thus... 78-81 will be the temp in the jars (ideal internal...
I have heard of this before. An old farmer (real farmer) mentioned it once years ago, but I never really understood it until now. When should this be done? can it still be done at the very beginning of the 12/12 cycle with decent results?
Try this...
8 ..."1/2 pint" jars.
mix 1/4 cup fresh ground Brown rice with 2/3 cup Vermiculite and 1/4 cup distilled water. **** This IS the widely accepted new PF Tech formula****
Place 1/4 cup Verm in bottom of jars. (less time collonizing).
Add mixture.
place 1/4 cup verm on top of...
I went to that site and it came up as a laundry list of mushroom sites, kinda like "bizrate.com with no specific "kits" to buy. If you really want to get seriuos about being a "kitchen chemist" go to Mycotopia.net. Search the archives and ask questions.
But... I will tell you this much so far...
