Psilocybin Production
adroit_synth:
SWIM's plans will hopefully materialise next week! Much ahead of schedule. 8) He does not need to order anything online but still wants to in the future to ease the production of the more difficult-to-cultivate strands. He sees now that fruiting is not necessary to maintain constant mycelium propagation, a big help.
He's working on the hydroponic method as well. The biochemistry in that thread was particularly interesting as well as the reasoning for the fungus' hoarding of phosphorous. Interesting. Now he wonders about optimization of alkaloid production either making it more specific or just increasing it all together. He would also like any information having to do with analysing/testing alkaloid content or signs of alkaloid content before harvest.
paranoid:
One step at a time. I'd suggest worrying about getting a good sterile setup rolling first and testing a few batches before trying to tweak alkaloid content. That being said, there is plenty of heresay and possibly fact regarding boosting alkaloid production in zoomers. Just check TFSE a bit and you'll come up with some info.
If you seriously plan to go through with this, please keep us updated, as I'm quite curious to hear someone actually attempt this. It should be relatively easy, and delightfully productive. Remember, sterility is key!!

Well SWIM is using a modified PF TEK at first rather than the hydroponic method off the bat. He is not as dumb as you guys think. :P Most of the time, at least.
The Shroomery (http://www.shroomery.org) has helped him more than he had imagined. Tremendous resource for anyone planning to do anything with mushrooms other than trip.
a_s highly recommends it! :)
He was asking about alkaloid optimization and determination for the hydroponic method so he would get started on the right foot b/c when he moves to that method he expects it to bee worth it and live up to zen's claims of it's agressive colonization. He will just start a new thread for that when the time comes. He thinks a few months.
For you myco bees out there that are also do bees, what are your current yields per unit of time and a short description of your setup?
adroit_synth:
Ok so SWIM has sterilized substrate waiting in the fridge to be warmed up to room temp and innoculated. He read in his book (Psilocybin Production) that optimal temp is 70-75 and higher temps grow faster but have less defense and lowered alkaloid content. He read on the shroomery that the best temp is 86 but no more than 86. Can anyone speak of alkaloid content at diffeent temps? SWIM does not want to exchange potency for a few days time.
Mr_Bronson:
I've inadvertantly allowed the mycelium temperature to rise above 30 C with no problems. Going over 35 C (95 F) will kill the mycelium. Why not colonise the growth medium at 30 C (86 F) and fruit at a low temperature, such as 25 C (78 F) for maximum psilocybin?
