@lobsterbush thanks. You put in for mail order? I hear ga tix are going for 1500-2000 on stubhub. I just entered on Tuesday. Didn't decorate my envelope but got everything submitted correctly. Should be all good. Hoping they love some budman

Hotel booked at JW marriott on Adams street. Have TONS of good friends in Chicago, some I met recently. Good friends. Good dope. What else could I ask for?

Lookin proper in here! What's that you're using for mulch in these containers? It looks like chunky coco or something

@Team Microbe first of, I love your avatar. Huge head here. And to answer your question. Yes chunky coco as mulch, also like to see that you are using sprouted seed tea, recently I have been using malted barley from home brew store. From what I understand home brewers live an die by enzymes, using malted barley saves me the time sprouting seeds. I'll post some pics soon of my process.

Haha that's what's up, Dead Heads unite! :headbange

Nice, my buddy is having great success with that stuff too. I like the concept. And +1 for the malted barley brother, this stuff is actually higher in enzyme concentration than sprouted barley... I wish I knew that before buying the barley seeds too. I'll use the rest of this bag and then switch over to the malted. What's your process like with that stuff? Just measure, mix and apply?

@Team Microbe it's funnt you ask. Process is ever changing but as of now I just take a light handful of barley per gallon of water that I am using. Put barley in a blender with a few cups of water and blend till nice and milky. Def not an exact science en it comes to measuring. Then strain into rest of water. I do this just before I water, been thinking of letting final solution bubble overnight. Thoughts on letting it bubble for 24 hours?

nice budman. nice cubes too. before my cannabis growing days I was a mycologist. actually was a mod on a few forums lol. thats where my love for growing started.. but after a few bad trips I cant really touch the stuff anymore.

Nice plants! We grow very similarly. I also pack the pots in, and harcore lolipop w/ 4-6mains. looks nice, keep up the good work!

Yeah that's the glory with organics, it never really needs to be an exact measurement for the most part in most recipes. I sprout 1/2 cup of barley for every 5 gallons, then bubble for a few hours and drench. Not sure if you would need 24 hours, maybe 12 at most I would think (just to extract enzymes)

I tend to love clean LSD more than fun-guys. I doubt that's a popular opinion on this board. I could be wrong. I, like you, don't mess with them much anymore. Low steady doses, I'm done munching on heroic doses.

Some of the best times I've had, I owe to PE. They seems to be a touch more finicky. If that's possible but I've grown them a handful of time. I enjoy McKenna and all the other psychonauts.

The ND was created by johnnybgood (member that dissapeared). If I remember correctly it's a jock horror x 2006 rez sd ibl. It will go 85 days. Not the most efficient but should swell up into HUGE jar nugs. Very excited. Silverhawaiin has been crushing it for years. I obviously wanna be just like him. :). My first time with the ND, forum cut and gorilla glue. Lots of firsts in this thread.

looks almost like Penis envy....i still a dozen syringes..lol DJXX

:yeahthats


Edit:

Just realized I stepped all over your flattery - thanks for that! :peacock: Not sure if I'd describe it as "crushing it," perhaps more like "gently nudging it."

That last photo you posted looks great. I think next time you might could shave a little less leg - either that or she's still got some stretching to do. :) For six weeks, I'm guessing she's not going to get much longer for ya. ;) But she's lookin' good for sure.

Mine tended to get big long spears - 8" or better, all over. Hard to judge from that photo - how tall is each top? Yours remind me of the last run I had with her, in some compacted soil. She didn't do her usual big long spear thing, but instead I ended up with decent grenade-like tops all over.

(Yours is no doubt doing better than mine was in that container) :)

:respect:

Each top is 10inches or more. I do think I may have gotten a little overzealous with lollipopping. It's my first run and that canopy is dense. I will take a pic with measuring tapes for scale. That is a monster ND and is drinking over a gallon a day. Well over a gallon.

to the mycologists out there I like to get out and see a lot of live music and i do not buy drugs at the shows. I like to know what I'm ingesting and if I can grow it or make it, I will. I'm not a chemist so I do have to purchase LSD but I try to buy it by the sheet if I know it's good. That way, I know what I have, I can dose buddies and hand out at shows.

Regarding the boomers:

A guy named Roger Rabbit created the fungus. It PE#6, PE x Texas. Here is an excerpt about them, it's nerdy mushroom forum talk.
"Shroomery veteran RogerRabbit, "Crossed a standard PE with the Tex strain." The result was PE 6.

RogerRabbit's efforts were an attempt to create a modified PE which produced more spores... but the spores were accidentally released too early... when a few prints were unintentionally mailed out, in a stack of other prints. The infamous print which lead to the public outing of this particular cube was labeled PE #6.

Here's how RogerRabbit says PE #6 came to be:

"A single sector fruiting isolate of PE, and another of TEX were placed on a petri dish with rattlesnake venom added to the agar. The snake venom helped the two dikaryotic strains share genetic information to form a third sector, which was which was labeled PE6. Other Isolates of the PE were labeled PE 1-7, and apparently, some of the 6, which was the cross, were in the same batch of prints. The idea was to get a good spore producing PE, but I never had time to stabilize the strain due to accidentally releasing it early. That's why sometimes they look like texans and sometimes very much like PE."

PE 6 looks like a cross between Penis envy and Texans. The fruits often have LARGE caps, which open fully, unlike classic PE. They also produce spores. While the stems look quite a bit like PE. Thick and textured. Like little logs.

RogerRabbit confirms this description: "the caps that opened fully have fewer spores like PE, and they have the same gnarly stems too. Only the caps seem to be bigger and to open all the way."

Between you me and the fireWALL, They def look like Ecuadorean... Guy I got em from used to do those too. That pic is a little early on the harvest so the veil isn't open.
