P. natalensis / P. ochraceocentrata – experiences with anxiety and microdosing?

Hello, I’m interested in P. natalensis mainly for microdosing and possibly a therapeutic trip for my lifelong generalized and social anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.

I’ve read quite a few reports that they tend to have less body load and can be less anxiety-provoking than cubensis, which is particularly interesting to me. I’m not sure, though, how much of this applies to true P. natalensis vs. P. ochraceocentrata, since a lot of what was historically sold/circulated as “Natalensis” apparently turned out to be ochraceocentrata.

The ones I can get are Natal Super Strength, Natal Moon, Natal Hills, and P. ochraceocentrata.

If you have experience with any of them, I’d be interested in hearing how they compare, especially for someone prone to anxiety. I’m mainly interested in microdosing, but also in what a full trip is like in terms of body load, anxiety, and emotional intensity.

I previously microdosed Golden Teachers, but they often made my anxiety worse or made me too emotional, even at relatively low doses (50–100 mg). I’d like to give microdosing another try, but I’m looking for something that might be physically and psychologically gentler, if that’s even possible.

Thanks for any experiences!

Mental health effects of nats

I am new to nats. I have been researching to learn more about them. I have a feeling that they are more recreational than thereupetic. Mainly because they haven't been used in the old cultures and there's not much studies on them. How do you compare the therapeutic effects of nats vs cubes?

For context, i had a bad lsd trip with 200ug. This was my first and last trip. The trip was incompressible gibberish for the most part. And i thought i will never recover and i had lost my mind. I think it was because of the high dose. This was 6 months ago. Will someone like me benefit from low dose nats?

Any Advice?

Its my 1st attempt with Nat/Ochra (I think this are Ochra right?) I get it from a local grower in my city in central México. I have a lot of experience with Cubes, 13 years hahaha but these are getting my so confused. I read they need extra FAE, so I take bags out and put in Dub Tek. That was 15 days ago and this is the Flush #1 hahaha its normal? I dont think so. Sad part is that I made 10 bags of this I never thought difference will be so much. Besides Dub Tek I was doing FAE manually shaking lid 3 times per day. Its enough or they need MOOOOORE FAE? Or I need to wait more days? Thanks a lot myco family! Im very new in Reddit too. Vibes!

Growing P. Nats for the first time

First time growing P. Nats from ITW. Inoculated my bags last Monday and this is what they looked like this morning. Super impressed how fast it’s colonizing the bags!

I lemon tekked 2 gms of ochras and it was supplemented with San Pedro tea

Holy crap!

The visuals was shockingly INSANE! It was absolutely terrifying to experience. There were holograms projected out from my television and integrated and merged with my perception of reality.

I saw what was behind the curtain, hidden in the folds of reality.

I’m glad I made it out alive and will NOT be doing that again.

Anyone have a potency analysis from any of the cups or labs showing the potency for Ochras and alkaloid content?

Lot's of positive first trip reports on these. Anyone have a lab analysis of them?

Pins finally

Smaller tub pinned first before my bigger one but now the larger tub is out beating the smaller tub should I be concerned? Both have good FAE and equal parts light and darkness.

When to harvest??

I know everyone asks this, it is my first time growing and I haven’t seen toooo many people talk about the process for growing ochras. These started fruiting 8/4 Wednesday and have been growing like crazy but the difference in some of them make me anxious about when is the right time. Should I wait to harvest most or go bit by bit?

Thanks any advice for going forward is highly appreciated!!!
