Mushrooms/Fasting for opioid withdrawal experiment

I’m currently 48 hours off 50 mg of methadone and 48 hours in a fasted state. I just sent the 3.3 of APE,then ran it consecutive with the T combo Tek I created. I am experimenting for the evolution of man and drug withdrawal treatments. I’m not going to get into how drugs and methadone made me feel but at this point I will try anything. I will report back. I’m 33 y.o from nj.

“Should I send it?” [contamination]

Just kidding what kind of contam is this? It happened within the last few days after break and shake inside my incubator. It’s the only 1 out of 12 jars inculcated in a SAB.

I tried keeping them in one piece and I think I ruined them. I ran them at 95F for over 30 hours when I checked in the morning they had turned grayish and yellow. I opened them and still moist inside. Is there any way I can salvage these? 4th pic is the different harvest same strain but I cut it so it’s fine.

Most of these were pretty dense and I had to harvest.
Picture 1 was 95F for 48 hours. Exterior hard as a rock but middle/ some caps a little soft and some push. Picture 2 same thing 95F for 36 hours. Barely any push and cracker dry but there is some play. Most of these big ones are still drying. I don’t want to ruin them in the jar. Is there any advice on why I should do or are they fine?

Veil had dropped days ago but chonks are still dense,not like a marshmellow at all. I decided to harvest 2nd pic, been drying at 95 for 36 hours. I think I packed my substrate down to hard

Veil has broke but the stem is still dense.

Should I harvest now or wait until soft like marshmallows?

Growth has seemed to slow/stop.

Also what is the best way to re hydrate substrate.

Should I heavy mist/inject water or should I just dunk?

First grow please any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Mush on

FIRST GROW

Picture 1: pins growing slow. the substrate is very dry, so I used I fine mister and it started pooling and bruising. I don’t think the yellow is contam I think it’s just over bruisng. What is the best way to hydrate a cake? People say don’t spray the pins but then say spray because it’s to dry.

Picture 2: stalled at primordia over a week ago. These were colonized before the fist pic. I tried to adjust FAE. Covering a whole and putting double paper tape. PS: there all started as AIO bags and S2B into this tub.

Picture 3: this is fine. I’m going to neglek. Or should I be misting? They started side pinning so had to SGFC PS: I packed all these cakes down during S2B and I realize that could be my problem.

Picture 4: this is just me showing off haha I’m proud of myself. Looking for suggestions. I PC brown rice, 7 unmodified, 5 modified lids. Also would rice on the lid inside jars cause contam? After the first grow I decided I would rather make my own grain and substrate in my own monotubs. Thank you everyone and safe trips 👍🏻
