    I just buy my substrate online. I’m far less experimental than most. I just want it to work in a consistent way that yields an amount I can predict.

    What I really want to grow is Peyote or San Pedro, but the slow growth and lack of sun in my location would make that difficult.

      Precolonized or just substrate? I wonder if a grow lamp would work. Pretty pricey though for electricity.

        Just the substrate. I use the syringes I buy online because it’s the easiest method for me. I’m not actually sure pre-colonized would be “legal” for my “microscope” hobby. Ahem.

        Mostly it’s just B+, which I enjoy and it’s simple to grow. Golden Teacher was also easy, but the yield was less.

          I had such low yield with B+ or any other strains 🤪probs just my technique.

            Well, low might be relative to your expectations. How many grams did you want vs what you got?

            I see some people on Reddit with huge-ass yields. Like, fist-sized caps. wtf. Ultimately, I got the amount I wanted to use out of it.

              I saw roughly 11 grams dried. Was expecting 3x the amount judging by everyone’s’ impressive grows haha.

                Wow that is low. I got about 60g dry.

                Did you have a pump keeping it moist?

                  No but I misted it and fanned it as was the style back then.

                    The good ole onion belt.

                    That’s probably why. I had a whole humidified thing and timed lights. It wasn’t expensive, and it came in a kit. Give it another shot.
