Thanks, acene. That sounds like solid advice, I was thinking the same thing but I hadn't had it recommended to me that way. I'm perfectly capable of googling it myself, but is there a TEK you'd recommend for casing? I'm planning to inoc some more jars today or tomorrow (got my first spore print) so I'd like to know what, if anything, I need to do differently at this stage.

Very nice to see a shroom grow on here, too. I'm a huge psychedelic fan myself.

sneaky, I don't know anything about a monotub, but I'll look into it. as soon as I'm done tripping my nuts off.

Yeah, monotub looks like the way to go. I'm too broke right now to change my setup and I'm still working on my sterile tek, but I'll head that way as soon as I can.
I think it cost me about $100 give or take for everything except the P.C. Everything has been sitting in a closet for about 4 months now. Just been too busy growing and not willing to give up the room for the shrooms. Guess that is one advantage of growing outside...all the extra room inside.
Hope you have a good trip.

"I am old, older than thought in your species, which is itself fifty times older than your history. Though I have been on earth for ages I am from the stars. My home is not one planet, for many worlds scattered through the shining disc of the galaxy have conditions which allow my spores an opportunity for life. The mushroom which you see is the part of my body given to sex thrills and sun bathing, my true body is a fine network of fibers growing through the soil. These networks may cover acres and may have far more connections that the number in a human brain. My mycelial network is nearly immortal, only the sudden toxification of a planet or the explosion of its parent star can wipe me out. By means impossible to explain because of certain misconceptions in your model of reality all my mycelial networks in the galaxy are in hyperlight communication across space and time. The mycelial body is as fragile as a spider's web but the collective hypermind and memory is a vast historical archive of the career of evolving intelligence on many worlds in our spiral star swarm. Space, you see, is a vast ocean to those hardy life forms that have the ability to reproduce from spores, for spores are covered with the hardest organic substance known. Across the aeons of time and space drift many spore-forming life-forms in suspended animation for millions of years until contact is made with a suitable environment. Few such species are minded, only myself and my recently evolved near relatives have achieved the hyper-communication mode and memory capacity that makes us leading members in the community of galactic intelligence. How the hypercommunication mode operates is a secret which will not be lightly given to man. But the means should be obvious: it is the occurrence of psilocybin and psilocin in the biosynthetic pathways of my living body that opens for me and my symbiots the vision screens to many worlds. You as an individual and man as a species are on the brink of the formation of a symbiotic relationship with my genetic material that will eventually carry humanity and earth into the galactic mainstream of the higher civilizations.
Since it is not easy for you to recognize other varieties of intelligence around you, your most advanced theories of politics and society have advanced only as far as the notion of collectivism. But beyond the cohesion of the members of a species into a single social organism there lie richer and even more baroque evolutionary possibilities. Symbiosis is one of these. Symbiosis is a relation of mutual dependence and positive benefits for both of the species involved. Symbiotic relationships between myself and civilized forms of higher animals have been established many times and in many places throughout the long ages of my development. These relationships have been mutually useful; within my memory is the knowledge of hyperlight drive ships and how to build them. I will trade this knowledge for a free ticket to new worlds around suns younger and more stable than your own. To secure an eternal existence down the long river of cosmic time I again and again offer this agreement to higher beings and thereby have spread throughout the galaxy over the long millennia. A mycelial network has no organs to move the world, no hands; but higher animals with manipulative abilities can become partners with the star knowledge within me and if they act in good faith, return both themselves and their humble mushroom teacher to the million worlds all citizens of our starswarm are heir to."

well, something stole 2 of my autos, the other are all looking great. one was dug up completely, couldn't even find the soil, and the other was just missing. idk. I have photos, will post later today
Nice lookin' plants, dude! I hear you have all kinds of things in those smoky mountains. Bears, raccoons, fox, coyotes, and who knows what else. All of those guys are gonna be sniffin' out that organic soil. That would be my biggest worry with growin' out there.
Last year I found a box turtle had dug itself into a root ball and killed 4-5ft tall plant.

Yeah, it definitely looked like an animal did it. I couldn't tell what kind, but it was at least the size of a fox.
This is quickly becoming my biggest concern. I shouldn't have gone with blood meal, but I did. Any suggestions?

Well, I'm finally getting around to those pics. I put out some mothballs today and while I was out there I snapped some more. The autos look like they're around the second week of flower right now. They all looked really, really good, very nice and sturdy plants, next to zero weather/bug damage. There's been no digging since the last incident.
These are the autos now:

This one got damaged when the other two went missing:
This is the hole left by the assailant:
This is what the terrain looks like here, just perfect!
Here's the creek I walk down to get to my spot. It's beautiful here.
Apparently it was too early for that much super soil in the bottom of these cups! Quite a few have been burned. Water under the bridge, got a long season ahead of us still!
