Is it harvest time? First grow thread (Pics)

Well, is it? a couple of veils are starting to look thin. My concern is they are pretty small. Thinking it's because of the temps ranging from 69-75 or so (I work a lot).
Strain is GT, if that matters. I assume I would need to take multiple prints to equal a large shroom's print, yes?




I want to thank everyone on the shroomery for sharing their knowledge and helping to make my first grow something of a success.

if you're gong to take prints wait til the veil tears and the caps flatten out a bit..
also 1 of those small prints will be more then enough for a couple of syringes.

They will be more potent if you do but you could let those go for another day or two, depends on weather you want weight or potency. Looks like you grew them in a closet, they need more FAE IMO, crack a window or fan more often is my suggestion.

In pic #4 see how they are all growing in one direction, that is them reaching for the supply of fresh air.

Meaning they need more? also the light is that way, and as I understand it Shrooms are phototropic?
Been having a hard time keeping my humidity up, and I'm on the gulf coast, so if anything, I figured I had too much air...

Check the bottom of your SGFC, dig to the bottom in the middle, if water pools in the empty spot you have too much water and air wont get through all of your bottom holes. I know an easy way to drain off the extra water without making a big mess if so.

i agree, but this is arguable. you know u read somewhere reliable to harvest just as the veil starts to tear. but i have had fully mature mush with equal potency. but not as often as they were bunk when fully mature!! and always the early harvested shrooms prove superior in potency. maybe you should give it a test huh? and be the judge.

The reason I said more FAE is because I remember RR saying that skinny stypes meant not enough FAE, I think, don't quote me lol. I also think I remember RR saying that shrooms don't grow towards light they just draw energy from it and they grow towards fresh air.

I also recall a RR post saying that smaller mushrooms are more potent by weight, not why, just that they were.

I was lead to believe that their potency would stay the same from pin to mature fruit and they just fill with water when they grow. The vitamin P is in the dry matter and bigger shrooms are just the same matter filled with water. That is just how I understood the smaller ones being more potent by weight thing. I may be wrong.

I may pick some for potency now, and let the rest grow on so I can get some more weight. I took off some of the tape I had over the holes to help retain humidity as well. suppose I can just mist more to keep humidity up.

Have you calibrated you hygrometer? If not wrap it in a wet towel for an hour and consider whatever it reads after that 100%. My hygrometer was off by 10% brand new, it will only read up to 90% so I consider that 100%

You have holes 2 inches apart in all six sides with 4 to 5 inches of perlite?

3.5 to 4 inches perlite, holes 2 inches apart. But, I check the perlite every other day, and add water as necessary.

If you do you need to maybe raise your room humidity and add a humidifier in the room and make sure there are no fans, heat vents, or moving air near the FC. Mine holds a perfect 98% RH, unless I am fanning and misting it drops a little. I did have to tape up a heater vent about 4 feet away to get it to hold that RH though.

You shouldn't have to add water to perlite, misting over spray from 2 or 3 mistings a day should keep it hydrated for a month or more at least.

Only had to add water once, and it's been about 3 and a half weeks. Probably the fact that I don't get good air circulation as I must grow in a closet for a couple of reasons, but i make sure to fan out the closet as well as the sgfc.

Thares yer problem lol You could rig up a pc fan and cut two holes one to intake the air one to house the exhaust fan but not move it so much as to lower the RH. Other than that you need to fan the door every half hour if you want bigger fruits and more pins. Good job on the closet grow though btw.

Small mushrooms contain just as much actives as the big ones, the difference is that the big ones contain more water. The amount of psilocybin does not change. therefore a 100 grams of numerous small mushrooms is allot more potent than 1 mushroom of 100 gram. Use it to you're advantage lol.
