Need some advice on my first harvest please.
    #10114887 - 04/06/09 05:52 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

I done a search, but most of the stuff I could find had to do with potency, so here goes..

OK, so this is my first ever grow (and post for that matter) and I'm very, very excited! I only started out with 2 jars first up, and thank god they both come through without any contams :smile: Beginners luck I guess, as my next jar a few weeks later got both green mould and a massive wet spot.

Enough of that... My cakes have just started to pin the other day, and there's a dozen or so which have started growing into mini fruits (I love the look of them :smile: ).

Think I might have stuffed up my timing though, as I'm going away this Easter weekend. Leaving on the Thursday night and not getting back until Tuesday morning.

I'm guessing that some of them would have reached their full size during that time, so I was wondering what is the absolute maximum time that you can really leave them unattended once they are fully grown? I think I can rely on my housemate to air out the grow chamber and keep it moist, but I don't know if I want to leave him up to the picking. Would it be wise to just leave them for a couple of days and just hope that they don't rot? I'm kinda stressing out as this is my first grow and I'd love for it to be a success :smile:

I'll try keep this updated with how well they're fruiting up until the weekend. Thanks :smile:

try to pick em when the veil breaks. other than that they grow fast mature then get decomposed by other bacteria. so you have to get them away before that.definite time periods are hard to say because humidity and temperature play a role. other than that good luck!

The longer you wait the caps will become more convex and drop spores all over the place so you'll come back to a bunch of wavy capped purple mushrooms/substrate.

Might as well pick em right before you leave so they dry over the weekend....or a nice addition to easter brunch...
