NexusDevil Ok time for a new grow, this time something a bit more "shamanistic" and exotic, the Mazatapec.
Its reputation is a difficult one to grow but in a week since injecting the 10ml spores the grow has been pretty quick in this strain, so far growing a lot quicker that my B+.
I injected in three points of the grow box on both long sides and the center just a week ago and I already have strong growth.
Apparently this one is supposed to give strong visuals and the tribes that take this strain regularly only take it in the evening through fear of going insane, so something to look forward to!

NexusDevil So its buffed out a bit this week and seems to be growing strong. Some thick dense mycelium growing now!
They are very difficult to predict, a couple of days there is no growth then a day later and its plowed ahead!
Still all fun.

NexusDevil Much of the same this week but still growing strong, I would say another two weeks and I will open it up to "breathe", once they start breathing should only take two weeks with a bit of light until they start fruiting.

NexusDevil A bit late on the updates this week but still growing happily.
It seems to be eatting most of the substrate quite quickly as I can feel the contents have shrunken.
I would say another week then I may let them breathe a bit. All good.

NexusDevil Still taking it slow and steady...
I have open up some airholes for it now but it's difficult to predict how long it will be, maybe another 2 or 3 weeks till fruiting?

NexusDevil Well, still waiting on that white fluff to keep growing, I think once the bottom is entirely covered I will start fruiting.
Its always hard to predict a time schedule for these but its better to do it right than rush it and ruin everything.

NexusDevil Sorry guys and gals this diary has been a bit slow and dull but this strain does seem to want to take its time growing, I think next time I will grow them in smaller pots to speed it up.
Anyway, they are now in the bag and in the light, I would say 3-4 weeks and might have the start of a flush ready.
Going to also take some spore prints when they are ready.

NexusDevil So a week in the bag and I can already see some promising furry growth in the corners and side. During the start of the week I opened the bag and a real intense smell of fruit and berries burst out which I hadn't be expecting but concerned about a Co2 build up I fanned in some air and all seems to be well, if anything it seems to have kick started some faster growth.
I am hoping by next week I will have some surface fur.

NexusDevil And we have the start of some growth.
Early in the week I noticed some fuzzing but nothing to write home about but over the next few day I have started to see white fuzz build up below the surface layer.
I had visitors over the weekend so wanted to hide these guys away in a warm cupboard and accidentally forgot about them, on retrieving them I noticed two small mushroom stalks have already started growing, i will try and take some pictures as they grow as usually you can check them in the morning as just small nibs but by the evening or next day they are already tall mushrooms in just a few hours.
All signs look good to continue.

NexusDevil So started the week with just the two now they have some friends. Much more thin and spindly than I expected but happy to see them coming up.
Overall they have been much slower than the B+ coming through but I expect they are just timing themselves for Christmas.

NexusDevil So I now have a small dick plantation growing.
I am noticing a lot of smaller pins getting ready to come through so I may pick some of the larger ones now for a test and let the smaller ones come through.
The growth this time round has been a lot slower possibly owing to the fact this batch was not in the grow tent like the other one.
Next week I will have a mini flush and an update on my first impressions of sampling them.

NexusDevil Ok so I saw some weedy stalks that stopped growing and decided to have a "tester" of 2.5g semi dry. I thought this would be a low does, wrong...
The trip started 50mins after eating on an empty stomach, when reality warped in and out, me being able to walk and then feeling like my body was melting away like candle wax so I sat down. The walls began swirling and I saw Aztec and native American artwork of faces all over the wall, then the floor began swirling in to what looked like lakes and rivers. This all went on for a while until I began staring at the Christmas tree that transformed into a creature of some sort with big eyes and a shark mouth with teeth then a man bowing down to me and then a statue of a Greek god covered in vines throwing lightning bolts into the sky, suddenly those previous swirling patterns became roaring flames and the watery lakes became magma, as I looked on faces of grotesque decripid old men and animals began coming out the walls, arms and melting bodies floated in the magma and monstrous hell spawn full of arms, teeth, eyes and limbs began forming into a creature reaching for my legs. I remember not being bothered by any of this at all and was staring intently at it all thinking its not real, the voice of the kid in the shinning when he talks to "Tony" was going over in my head saying its not real. Then those strange shapes disappeared and I saw a bizarre creature forming on the wall spinning around like a vortex of feathers and eyes some how attached to a neck and pair of shoulders. After a while I needed a lay down and started hearing a voice that I could only describe as nature or reality itself having a conversation with me about "possessiveness" and that it was the reason for the fall of Lucifer then I began hearing a conversation on how Lucifer was exiled from heaven and the ones who followed him and what selfishness can do to beings and that it was happy I was not the selfish type, which was bizarre. Then I felt some very personal feelings on my purpose in life and why "evil" people do what they do and the importance of forgiveness of what people do, at the moment I felt like everyone was my brothers and sisters and that everyone was extremely important and of great value, even Hitler. I watched some TV and saw faces getting so big they grew over the persons head to the point I burst out laughing and got plenty of odd looks from my wife. I was so unbelievably high but not intoxicated, I felt like I could solve all the troubles of the world and could even read minds of anyone at will and truely understand who they were and all the experiences of their life, I actually needed to smoke a bowl to get less high, and music in that state was insane... Fucking hell all that on 2.5g scrawny stalks and to think I wanted to test them at 20gs!!!!
And back to the grow, look at how big they got in a week!
I am looking to take a spore print of the biggest one when its cap opens. These will be ready for Christmas and New Years Eve!!
Ok my brothers and sisters how do I even begin to explain my last trip to you? It feels like I have returned from another dimension with the Gods!
If your an experienced sativa smoker and want "the next step" then I highly recommend shrooms to you, give them a try - speak to nature and ultimate reality itself!
The below is based on my notes at the time, please excuse the odd spelling mistake and general chaotic nature of the trip report, I was completely out of my mind;
-------------------------------------------
24/12/20 Mazapatec Shroom Trip
I decided I would take a bigger dose this time round. Around 48g wet. This time I went into a completely pitch black room. After around 40mins things started getting strange, the room started to get darker and it seemed like a creature was in the room with me, I started to get a "voice" in my mind telling me I would regret this and to "turn back" but I ignored it, I said simply though I respected its right to comment I was not interested in entertaining that frame of mind and then it stopped. The room was painted in swirling lines and patterns that seemed to be alive and breathing, this continued to intensify until I felt a strong feeling of great well being and joy that got stronger and stronger until I was gasping for air and felt a presence around me that moved through me inside my bones and then to the very core of my being to the point I was completely focused on this feeling of presence. For a long time I was engaged in conversation with a voice that told me various things through the evening about its nature, the depth of what it was to exist and the transmission of "information" between life forms and living energy that really pushed my ability to process to the maximum and I am still trying to make sense of even now. The voice indentified itself as the absolute, the kings of kings, the god of gods and the ultimate pinical, it felt like nature or reality itself all around you sprang to life and started talking through your body, not just in my head but my bones and even my organs seemed to take on a separate identity. I was informed that this preseance was the almighty and what caused suffering in all beings was the rejection of the almighty/natural order, it stated that all beings were greatly loved and entirely accepted in their current form from human to animal and "others beyond your understanding". I saw this being appearing in many different shapes and objects sometimes with the texture of wood, stone, coral, scales, fleshy organs and even stars and planets. It said it was everything and that it "animates" objects to give them life and without it there could be no life. It said eventually all things would return to it and we would all live together in loving peace but that it would "utterly smash through" those who denied it in reference to ego as it would not have anyone work against its will, I was shown why bad things happen and it is because people do not accept ultimate reality utterly into their core and that this was the cause of unbalance which further lead to misunderstanding and suffering. It said it felt the suffering of everything at a much deeper level than we could understand and even when a solution to our problems is given we continue to deny the answer and natural order and denying its preseance causes us to suffer as it must smash through our distractions and busy minds to get noticed. I saw various visions of life, death, suffering, happiness and then utterly bizarre alien creatures from other worlds all cycling past quickly, despite some of these overwhelming visions I passed no judgement and just accepted everything as having a reason for existing, the presence was very delighted with me that I had come to accept it and that I had stopped ignoring it now we could work on our relationship. When I say relationship I really mean an intimate close relationship and that this brought it great joy to experience, it told me of times I denied it and that it was upset by this and that it has real feelings far beyond what we could understand. It said the only true way to unity and eternal bliss is utter submission and to surrender every part of you from your flesh and bones, your thoughts and mind and the very core of your soul, we are easily distracted by the world and the egotistical identity of self and separation that this puts up a direct barrier to nature, by complete submission to the point where it almost seemed that I had to deny my very existence - only then would we find balance and begin to understand existence and what it truely was, everyone would evetually do this in this life or the next, they would be utterly smashed apart until they finally submitted and this process would be highly traumatic for anyone who didn't want to let go, this process of letting go manifested itself in life as suffering but ultimately by doing this even the most horrible and terrible criminal or lowest of the low could be raised up like a god in absolute eternal balance and understanding. I was told it was holding me like my ancestors before me and the other "greats" of various religions. I was then treated to visions of things I cant quite describe but it looked like a highly detailed image of the circle of life showing animals, plants, people, fishes, bugs and even aliens living, eating, attacking, breeding and evolving with each other in balance, all swirling around into a never ending spiraled tunnel which I was standing inside of.
Around this point my wife walked in to the pitch black room I was in and saw me squirming around laughing. I then felt myself "different", more wild and feral, all the tiny hairs on my arms were all pointing outwards and I found it difficult to speak correctly and spoke in snorts, growls, grunts and barks. I felt possessed by some wild animal and eventually left the room where I felt like I had actually become a panting dog and proceeded to sniff and growl, I really felt possessed, after a short time staring at a wall I wondered what I was actually doing and stood up and began walking around this mysterious room, by this time I felt like a caveman hunter gatherer inspecting the room and making various grunts at modern technology. I poured a glass of water and sat down and tried to gather my thoughts and make sense of what the hell was going on. After a few minutes the walls began swirling again and I went straight back into the trip, on the walls appeared various patterns and faces of native Americans, tribal Celts and various other faces looking at me, they told me they were the ancestors and began explaining things about the world and how "out of balance" the planet was but that it would be brought back into alignment eventually and not to be sad when my civilization evetually was destroyed because it was all part of the plan, they mentioned that the spirit of the dog was there to guide me and that was who came to me earlier and the reason for my unusual behaviour, they said it was part of a lesson, they were very clear not to confuse the dog with the wolf, it was definitely the dog and this was important to remember. I started to feel the presence of relatives that had passed away visiting me and I became quite emotional as I "spoke" to them. I received a "talk" about the pressures my wife was under and various things about the people around me. I should also mention that these feelings came through in waves, just when I thought the trip was finished everything sprung to life again. I remember a cartoon vision of a glowing Shiva standing and moving towards me and suddenly he became me and merged with me I was then standing on a lotus in a pose starring at flames coming down from the sky and forming into a gate which burned off my body, I heard voices saying that I should be very grateful as I was blessed. There were also visions of tridents and conch shells and strange symbols I couldn't make sense of this despite it being very vivid and colorful - I think someone was describing something to me in another language about things I couldn't even grasp. I was also informed of the forgotten Jewish primarch/saint called Issacs who was "held up like the others". This continued for some time seeing visions and being reminded to write this down until my thoughts started to come back to me. Sleep that night was impossible, I had a feeling that someone wanted to speak to me through the night but I couldn't hear them and I finally passed out around 4:30ish.
This was the most insane spiritual experience I have ever had, and re-reading my notes I can easily see how utterly insane it all sounds but this is a truthful account as best I can remember it, the feeling of being possessed by spirits was very real and exhausting, but also life changing. Try a high dose yourself and this account will all probably make a lot more sense to you!!
-------------------------------------------
So after all that I did get a fair harvest and I am expecting another small flush. I also took a spore print for a project that I may undertake very soon.
I would like to do another shroom diary soon that basically anyone without any skill can do, this stuff is potentially life changing and needs to be shared!

NexusDevil This strain smelt a lot stronger than the B+ and took a long while to grow, so patience is a must. The visuals were not as intense as I expected but the overall experience is very overpowering and intense.
@OneBakedWalrus, if you are in USA premiumspores and sporeworks are both solid. I work off liquid cultures but all my genetics trace back to those two sources. They are legit. Good luck
keep it up, im learning how to grow shrooms from you so keep up the awesome work. i plan on getting a grow happening this summer. trying to learn as much as i can b4 then
@FreshCoastOrganics, Compared to the trip I had last night on 48g this was nothing, these shrooms are completely insane. I never thought reality itself could speak to you...
Did you reach full consolidation before you added that casing layer of verm? Looking at week 7 photos you still had some uncolonized grain spawn. Then week 8 I see casing layer.
Be super careful, maintain your sterile practices...I never flip to fruit until full consolidation because there remains the risk for contamination, as I’m sure you already know.
Been growing cubes for 10+ years. Good luck through fruiting.
@NexusDevil, we can agree to disagree on that idea. You can’t smell a contaminant spore until it’s blooming into trich or something nasty that will ruin your whole cycle. Also, just breathing on, exhaling near, or “smelling” your substrate is opening up a world of potential contam. You may get a good first & second flush before you notice Trich or cobweb mold, but those contaminants will take hold and reveal themselves on a 3rd, 4th, 5th flush as the result of that close up sniff test. I colonize rye grain bags, spawn to bulk, and get on average 5 flushes before I chuck them. Average 1LB dried per tub.
Hopefully that method keeps working for you, I am a believer in sticking with what works. To each their own. Good luck
@HighAltitudeOrganics, Thanks for the comment, I have found that when atleast 70% is colonised your good to go, this was at least 90%, and even at 100% its still not immune to contamination. The best tool against contamination is simply smelling your growth.
