you shouldnt
look at it like this. your substrate will only produce so much. so by letting fruits over mature, you will likely lose a flush in the end. so it dosent really pay off.

They don't really put on much weight after the veil breaks either, they just kinda change shape and launch spores.
Harvest just before the veil breaks when they still look like a lollipop. They fit in the dehydrator better, look more attractive, and don't drop spores.

agree'd, and if you want to print, then let the veil tear and the cap will flatten out a bit then harvest..

??? print requires the same levle of sterility as inoculating any noob should be able to do it if they can complete a grow im sure one if these fine shroomery members would have an elementary printing tek link for you to use. don't get scared off by proceedual things involved in this trade just judge your skill levels well and find what you can accomplish within your means.

good plan. but its always good to have a print for backup.
regardless of whether or not you wait to harvest, because thats all a judgment call, before or after the veil tears, eventually you want to become self sufficient.
paying for a syringe everytime you do a grow gets costly, its better to have your own supplies to do it yourself.
and printing and making a syringe in a sterile environment is actually quite easy.

Way to be dude. thats the outlook to have.
Remember: We dont always do everything right, and not all grows will go well. but keep your chin up and you'll get by

Whenever you shoot spores, use just a few drops per jar. Spore solution is potent, less is more with spores.
LC is pretty sketchy. It works sometimes, and it's cheap and easy, but be prepared for it to fail.
-------------------- You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

just a little. 2cc's is fine.
just remember that lc's need testing before use so you ont have mass failure all at once.
make an lc, when it looks good, pull some culture out in a sterile env. (preferably a glove box) and test it on a cake.
if all turns out well and no contam's then do a really good run with quite a few jars and tub that bitch with coir or CVG (coir/verm/gypsum) and watch the beauty unfold.
there is alot of info in this forum that tell you proper procedure.
soon enough, you will hardly ever have to UTSE and you'll be doing ratio's in your head.
going back to potency vs. weight though, i dont eat mine, too many crazy trips an a couple of massive ego deaths have persuaded me from ingesting them in a long time, but i still grow them.
in my eyes i'm creating generations of life and that makes me feel very good.
i love watching the beauty of watching them start from something so microscopic it could hardly be said to have existed at all, to some thing as magnificant as a fruit that has opened completely or one that has simply grown, beating the odds.
i just love what i do soo much. haha
