I dunno how to use a spore kit.
There’s all this stuff on Google about how to do it of course, but l used a grow kit, not a spore kit. Unfortunately, Blair’s banned them, or so the guys at King Bong in Bournemouth say. They sold me some really good grow kits in the past!
I left the grow kits on the window shelf until the white furry stuff started to coat the surface. It took about 2 or 3 days and that meant the grow kit was ready to grow.
I had to buy some thin bleach, dilute it down with water, put it in a enmpty plastic window-cleaning spray bottle.
Then l made a cube using 2 or 3 or 4 metal coathangers (give the triangle a twist, it becomes a square, sellotape the metal squares together, you get a cube).
Then l fit the cube frame into a massive Argos store carrier bag. I got a plastic bowl and a metal tray. I fit the cube inside the big Argos bag, and used sellotape to secure the cubic frame to the bag (was a bit tricky).
Then l got a bowl and a metal tray.
I filled the bowl with boiling water, and stuck the metal tray completely over it. Voila, a home-made heating mat.
I then placed the grow-kit box atop the tray.
I then placed the cubic frame/plastic carrier bag tent over the whole setup to create a warm, humid atmosphere for the grow kit.
I occasionally had to replace the water with freshly heated water, about every 6 hours in the day (i.e. about 3 times a day).
I sprayed the grow kit with my watered-down thin chlorine bleach to keep the grow kit aseptic, so that only the intended mushrooms would grow and no toxic black stuff. I did this about once or twice a day l think (instructions were given with the grow kit of course).
10-14 days later l had a batch of shrooms! I picked a few off and tripped my head off. The shrooms kept growing, as if the grow kit were a bottomless cornucopia, the more l picked off, the more that grew to replace their fallen comrades, to the extent that l got about 1 Kg from 1 grow kit. I think l had 2 grow-kits on one tray.
I didn’t know how to dry them properly so l ended up with an excess that got damaged and l don’t think sticking the excess thereafter into a bottle of vodka helped much.
If you see the Aztec demon (the mushrooms were Mexican species) then give him a whack round the back of the head like he gave me one. It sent me sprawling onto my bed 🙁
I saw all these patterns as well, typical of Mayan/Aztec art, you know, all twisty and convoluted. I wonder how much the culture was influenced by psilocybin! I’m sure there’s been way too much discussion on that topic on the net, but all l’m saying is that l never had any grand notions of Mexican deities and ethnography etc. before l took the shrooms, but after l took them, everything was just like the carvings on a Mexican temple. It was unplanned, but so telling of Ancient Mesoamerican culture.
