there is no need to add water immediately.
Advantage:
The rice cake will produce many more mushrooms than it would have
without adding moisture. Using this adaptation allows the nutrients in
the rice cake to be almost totally consumed before the cake is
exhausted.
Disadvantages:

Adaptation-18: Continued Drying of Mushrooms During
Storage
You can place a small glass with a small amount of desiccant in the
long term storage bag to continue to extract moisture from the
mushrooms. A shot glass with 3/4 of an ounce of desiccant is
sufficient to keep the humidity very low in the long term storage bag.
A larger glass that is more stable might be a better choice in order to
avoid an accident of spilling the desiccant inside the bag.

Adaptation-19: Reducing Output Of Ultra Sonic Humidifier
The output of the ultra sonic humidifier can be reduced by changing
the circuitry. Almost all ultra sonic humidifiers use a 5 K-ohm or 10
K-ohm potentiometer to control the output. By adding a 5 K-ohm or
10 K-ohm resister in series with the potentiometer, the original 'low'
setting becomes the new 'high' setting. The humidity output can be
turned down even lower than originally possible. Simply cut the wire
going to the potentiometer and solder a similar sized resister
(available at Radio Shack) in series. You may need to set the
humidity control above the minimum setting once you make this
modification.
Note that this adaptation is mutually exclusive with Adaptation-21.
If
you try to combine them, it won't work.
Advantage:
This drastically reduces the suspended water particles emitted by the
humidifier. However, the big advantage is that the humidifier uses
significantly less water. It is possible to fill up the humidifier and
leave on a trip for 10 days without having to add water.

kicked in the teeth with a heavy pair of boots.A further bad aspect of this method is its high cost. 100 grams sell for $150, and the high molecular weight of the compound means that a lot of it has to be used to get a moderate amount of product. One pound of thallium(ni) nitrate is required for a 1-molar batch. This method can be found in Tetrahedron Letters No. 60, pages 5275-80 (1970). To produce a one mole batch, dissolve one mole of propenylbenzene in some methanol, and put it into a one-gallon glass jug. In a beaker, dissolve one mole (448 grams) of thallium(HI) nitrate trihydrate in methanol. Then pour the thallium solution into the jug with the propenylbenzene, and stir at room temperature for 5 minutes. The thallium(I) nitrate formed by the reaction comes out of solution. It is removed by filtration. The propenylbenzene has at this point been converted to a ketal. This is hydrolyzed to the phenylacetone by shaking the filtrate with about 2000 ml of 1 molar sulfuric acid solution in water for about 5 minutes. The phenylacetone is then extracted out with a couple of portions of tolulene. This extract is then washed with 5% NaOH solution, then distilled or purified by conversion to the bisulfite addition product. 12 Studies On The Production OfTMA-2 93 Production of TMA-2, MDA, etc. from the Corresponding Phenylacetone There are three good methods for converting the phenylacetone to the psychedelic amphetamine. Choice number one is to use reductive amination with a hydrogenation bomb with Raney nickel, ammonia and alcohol solvent. See Journal of the American Chemical Society, Volume 70, pages 12811-12 (1948).
Also see Chem. Abstracts from 1954, column 2097. This gives a yield of about 80% if plenty of Raney nickel is used. The Ephedra Energy preferred conditions for use with MDA is a temperature of 80 C, and a hydrogen pressure of 50 atmospheres. The drawback to this method is the need for a shaker device for the bomb, and also a heater.
The use of platinum as the catalyst in the bomb works great when making MDMA, but gives lousy results when making MDA. There may be a way around this, however, for serious experimenters. It has been found in experiments with phenylacetone that a mixture of ammonia and ammonium chloride produces good yields of amphetamine (50%) when used in a bomb with platinum catalyst. Methylenedioxyphenylacetone is quite likely to behave similarly, along with other phenylacetones. To use this variation, the following materials are placed in the 1.

Adaptation-20: Providing a Moisture Reservoir in the Substrate A reservoir for moisture can be built into the cake while packing the jars with substrate material. Start with an empty jar and tamp 1/4 inch of substrate material in the bottom. Next, position a magic marker or some other object with a cylindrical shape and a diameter of about 3/4 inch in the center of the jar. Fill the jar as normal. Next, remove the object and fill the bore with damp vermiculite. Lastly, pack 1/4 inch of substrate material over the entire jar, sealing the damp vermiculite inside the cake. The damp vermiculite can be mixed separately from the substrate material. Use about 1 cup of vermiculite and 1/3 cup of water. This should produce enough damp vermiculite for a dozen 1/2 pint culture jars. After the cake has fruited, occasionally inject water into this reservoir. The easiest place to inject is the position of the cake that used to be at the center of the bottom of the jar. Just insert a syringe filled with sterile water and inject water until it is full. In case you are wondering, the substrate material can't be injected with water directly. The rice flour and vermiculite form a very tight seal and it is next to impossible to inject water. Even if you do (30 of 39) 5/1/2002 6:54:26 PM] How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4) manage to inject water, it doesn't spread through the cake. Having this reservoir filled with damp vermiculite gives the mycelium network access to a lot of moisture. The easiest way we have found to implement this adaptation is to cut the bottom off of a 10 cc syringe and press the bottom of the syringe into the wet vermiculite several times. This will load the syringe with wet vermiculite. Then place the syringe in the culture jar and pack the substrate around it. Use the syringe's plunger to hold the wet vermiculite stationary while you remove the syringe. Tamp an additional 1/4 inch of substrate material over the entire surface of the jar. Advantage: This adaptation will dramatically extend the longevity of the cake. The cake's yield are normally limited by the amount of moisture in the cake. This procedure allows you to replace moisture as it is consumed by mushroom growth. In general, you will double the total output of the cake compared to not implementing this adaptation. Disadvantages: It is a little bit of extra work to prepare the jars this way. Also, there is a need to be careful to use sterile water when injecting moisture during the growing phase. There is no way to check for contamination introduced inside the cake by injecting water. Back to preparation and colonization table of contents.

there is no need to add water immediately.
Advantage:
The rice cake will produce many more mushrooms than it would have
without adding moisture.
Using this adaptation allows the nutrients in
the rice cake to be almost totally consumed before the cake is
exhausted.
Disadvantages:

Adaptation-18: Continued Drying of Mushrooms During
Storage
You can place a small glass with a small amount of desiccant in the
long term storage bag to continue to extract moisture from the
mushrooms. A shot glass with 3/4 of an ounce of desiccant is
sufficient to keep the humidity very low in the long term storage bag.
A larger glass that is more stable might be a better choice in order to
avoid an accident of spilling the desiccant inside the bag.

Adaptation-19: Reducing Output Of Ultra Sonic Humidifier
The output of the ultra sonic humidifier can be reduced by changing
the circuitry. Almost all ultra sonic humidifiers use a 5 K-ohm or 10
K-ohm potentiometer to control the output. By adding a 5 K-ohm or
10 K-ohm resister in series with the potentiometer, the original 'low'
setting becomes the new 'high' setting. The humidity output can be
turned down even lower than originally possible. Simply cut the wire
going to the potentiometer and solder a similar sized resister
(available at Radio Shack) in series. You may need to set the
humidity control above the minimum setting once you make this
modification.
Note that this adaptation is mutually exclusive with Adaptation-21. If
you try to combine them, it won't work.
Advantage:
This drastically reduces the suspended water particles emitted by the
humidifier. However, the big advantage is that the humidifier uses
significantly less water.
It is possible to fill up the humidifier and
leave on a trip for 10 days without having to add water.

How to use Ephedra
The best way to take ephedra is in a capsule, but you can also make tea of the ephedra (ma huang) herb. After a certain point taking a higher dose ephedra does not intensify the trip, only taking cafein or guarana might help then. A single dose Ephedra is effective for 6 to10 hours. In the articles below you can find more information on how ephedra works as energizer.

Ephedra (also known as Ma huang, Chinese Ephedra and epitonin) is the worlds oldest medicine.
The Chinese discovered ephedra more than 5000 years ago. Research has shown that ephedra increases metabolism and helps promote weight loss, relaxes the air passages in the lungs to help treat asthma and cough, promotes perspiration to help a person recover from a minor cold and helps promote urination to help relieve edema.
Ephedra has been widely researched for its thermogenic (fat burning) properties.
Research has show that ephedra helps promote the loss of fat while helping spare lean muscle tissue, a highly sought-after property that prescription diet medications still have not been able to reproduce.

Step 8:
Now the culture jars need to be sterilized. Place the jars in a large
kitchen pot and add water so that water comes half way up the side of
the jars. Bring the water to a slow boil and place the lid on the pot.
From the time the water starts to boil, the jars need 1 hour to be

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 2)
sterilized. Water should not be bubbling and splashing all over the
place. The jars should not be floating around in the water. The
substrate in the culture jars has the right amount of water in it already.
You do not want water leaking into the jars and changing the ratio. The
jars should not sit flat on the bottom of the pan. Too much heat can
transfer directly to the jars and cause a loss of moisture. You can place
a wash cloth inside the pan and set the jars directly on the wash cloth
to help prevent too much heat from transferring to the jars.
Step 9:
Let the jars cool slowly. Leave them covered in the pan that was used
to sterilize them. Let them cool completely. The jars need to be at or
close to room temperature in order to inoculate. The spores will be
killed if the jars are not cool enough when they are inoculated. It will
take several hours to cool sufficiently. You may hear sounds as the jars
cool. This is normal.
Step 10:
Now comes the good part. Inoculation of the culture jars. Assuming
you have a viable, sterile spore syringe, you are now in a position to
inoculate the cultures and start the first phase of the growing cycle.
The needle of the spore syringe must be sterile. If your fingers or
anything other than the lid or contents of the culture jars comes in
contact with it, assume it is no longer sterile. If there is any doubt
about its condition, use a cigarette lighter to heat the entire needle.
Heat it until it glows red. Let it cool for a few minutes and squirt some
of the solution out of the syringe.
Shake the syringe.
Make sure the spores are mixed well within the
syringe. This can be accomplished more easily if you pull the plunger
back on the syringe to get a little air into the syringe.
Remove the tin foil from each culture jar as you prepare to inoculate it.
Insert the needle of the syringe as far as it will go into a hole in the lid
of the culture jar and get the needle to press against the glass. Examine
the next figure for a simple diagram of how things should look. Inject

the jars. Bring the water to a slow boil and place the lid on the pot.
From the time the water starts to boil, the jars need 1 hour to be

sterilized. Water should not be bubbling and splashing all over the
place. The jars should not be floating around in the water. The
substrate in the culture jars has the right amount of water in it already.
You do not want water leaking into the jars and changing the ratio. The
jars should not sit flat on the bottom of the pan. Too much heat can
transfer directly to the jars and cause a loss of moisture. You can place
a wash cloth inside the pan and set the jars directly on the wash cloth
to help prevent too much heat from transferring to the jars.
Step 9:
Let the jars cool slowly. Leave them covered in the pan that was used
to sterilize them. Let them cool completely. The jars need to be at or
close to room temperature in order to inoculate.
The spores will be
killed if the jars are not cool enough when they are inoculated. It will
take several hours to cool sufficiently.
You may hear sounds as the jars
cool. This is normal.
Step 10:
Now comes the good part. Inoculation of the culture jars. Assuming
you have a viable, sterile spore syringe, you are now in a position to
inoculate the cultures and start the first phase of the growing cycle.
The needle of the spore syringe must be sterile. If your fingers or
anything other than the lid or contents of the culture jars comes in
contact with it, assume it is no longer sterile. If there is any doubt
about its condition, use a cigarette lighter to heat the entire needle.
Heat it until it glows red. Let it cool for a few minutes and squirt some
of the solution out of the syringe.
Shake the syringe. Make sure the spores are mixed well within the
syringe. This can be accomplished more easily if you pull the plunger
back on the syringe to get a little air into the syringe.
Remove the tin foil from each culture jar as you prepare to inoculate it.
Insert the needle of the syringe as far as it will go into a hole in the lid
of the culture jar and get the needle to press against the glass. Examine
the next figure for a simple diagram of how things should look. Inject

the four holes in the lid while the jar is being sterilized. If you poked
your holes in the lid such that the sharp edges are pointing up, be
careful not to rip or puncture the tin foil. If you need to, you can add a
second or even a third piece of tin foil to make sure water will not drip
into the holes in the lid.
