Added sterilized tryptophan to spawn First albino flush dried & tested at 3.2% total actives!

I added a few grams of sterilized tryptophan during spawn prep to see if it would affect the psilocybin and psilocybin output. I was confident the mycelium colonizing the spawn could handle it, and it did. Two months later, I got my first albino flush here is how the dried fruits look. They came in at exactly 3.2% total active content. For comparison, my other albino flush grown without added tryptophan tested lower. Pretty interesting results!

Tidal wave first flush potency

4-gram dry weight Tidal Wave lemon tek, and it’s been over 5 hours. I honestly don't think I'll ever do it again this dose was just to test the quality of the yield from my first flush.
It was so intense that I literally forgot the ego that tries to control the experience. In that moment, I forgot who I was, where I was just a completely identity-less and formless state, a super weird moment. It was so intense that at first, there was zero way to tell if my eyes were open or closed. Everywhere was packed with geometries, Aztec-like symbols, and bug-like entities.
This experience reminded me that we’re floating on a rock in the middle of this vast, endless universe. It’s an indescribable moment of awareness, feeling like the rawest, barest form of the reality we live in right now. Equal parts terrifying, yet deeply profound and magnificent

Should I move this to a fruiting box, or does it need more time?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to get some advice on this grow bag. I am unsure if it is fully colonized or if I should wait a bit longer before moving it to the fruiting chamber. Based on the attached photo, there are still some dark areas visible.
Could you please take a look and let me know if it's ready or if I should wait? Any tips or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Tidal Wave 4 (TW4) block showing heavy "blob" formation – is this normal?

Hi everyone, I’m growing Tidal Wave 4 and the block is currently pinning. Instead of standard pins, I’m seeing these very dense, round, and 'blob-like' structures all over the surface.
I know Tidal Wave has Penis Envy genetics, but I'm curious if this level of blob formation is common for this specific stage? Is this typical 'blob' behavior or should I be worried about my surface conditions (overlay/fruiting conditions)?
Any advice or insights on what to expect for the harvest would be appreciated. Thanks!"
