Yea maliki!

Scrub using 90% bleach, and ten percent pure heroin extract.... And then steep perlite in pig urine for a period of three weeks...

After that, run thru dishwasher on hot with perlite wrapped in cheesecloth and you are ready to go!!

That is the ONLY way to get rid of the additives...

Any time I can help, just whistle...

Like ren and stimpy...

What happens if you push the blue button?

Maybe something good!

Maybe something bad!!


LOL! Just have a lotta angst built up lately..
But I have it narrowed down... It's either related to breast feeding issues of my youth, or the shit-eating dot bomb porn company I work for...

One of the two. When I figure it out will let ya know

Back to the Miracle Grow Verm. It has been theorized that it would have negative affect on fruiting but I have used it in about 4 batches all of which did just fine. Only time I grew albinos I used the Miracle verm and got some of the most consistently large fruits (several single shrooms over 20 wet grams) I have ever had.

Wait, did you mean perlite or vermiculite? If it's is perlite it wouldn't matter at all if the cakes don't touch it. Only concern there would be contams and they can't live on the additives in the perlite alone.

Thank you Mr Brown. Actualy it is both. And i to have an albino culture going i have tried researching all over the place for the efects of high nitrogen content on our fungus friends . Ive found some absolutley thrive in high nitrogen some must have it and others need almost none then theres the ones that wont grow in the precenc of nitrogen in aprts per millions. So it realy goes from one extrem to the other . More reaserch is needed.. ILL DO IT just takes time. But i think ill try a few jars next batch.
Hell my hole next batch is going to be just one big theroy class for me im trying around 10 diffrent thins just for fun. Or frustration but that has to be seen.

Experimenting is half the fun of mycology, if not more.

Umm... I know that phosphates are known under laboratory conditions to help mushies make psilocybin. Go for it man... you could get some surprising results.
