I laughed so much at that one, thanks for sharing!

Good job, nice write up! A side note of caution... A study last year found ammonia levels to be higher using the volcano than when smoking the same dodgy "street" weed. I don't want to jump to any conclusions from one study but I think it's good to be aware of these things. SWIM has started making sure the gear has a few seconds of vaping at least (hopefully to get rid of most of the ammonia if there was any) before putting the bag on.

She might do better with help from someone such as counselor or therapist or someone else. Lots of information on the topic could help too. 2002___Smith___A_review_of_the_published_literature_into_cannabis_withdrawal_symptoms_in_human_users.pdf

5HTP will have an effect on emotional affect and cognition. Many people report good things from using 5HTP. As for the whole balance thing, who knows really what is balanced or not, unless speaking metaphorically..

Fruiting with subs can be unpredictable. Inoculation of as many different wooded areas can be more fruitful. In some patches, they might fruit one year, and then not be seen at all in the next few. While other patches fruit consistently each year. It might be a bit late to inoculate to expect fruit this season though, what do you think? I have a hunch that this year will be a good year!

SWIM tried unsuccessfully getting subs to grow on fresh pine bark. But strophs seem to love it.

SWIM experimented with growing myc on hessian (from a piece of myc) and it seemed to grow all year round. It just needed to be kept moist.

Here's a gif video... enjoy!

Cool man, very nice. Hopefully some of the pollen from your flowers might make its way over my way. Do you get many bees?

What an awesome looking garden!

I bought it maybe 4 or 5 years ago when it was a similar size to what it is now. It met with an unfortunate "accident" and the top was cut off with about 3 inches poking out of the ground. What you see there is a pup, about 4 or 5 years old..

Nah, actually it was in semi shade until about noon and then it got the full harsh sun right through the afternoon. None of my cacti liked that spot much. I repotted and moved them around to a spot where they get full sun from about 9am to 2pm and shade the rest of the time. They seem to be thriving now. The sun isn't as intense earlier in the day.

Yeah these are the first flowers. They stalled for months after buds poked out back in October 08, then I noticed activity about 12 days ago, and the rest is history..
