I just leave them till I pick everything. I don't like to be disruptive.

I'm quite afraid for this guy because one of them seems to becoming blue.

problem is, if you pull on it, you pull on a 8 mushroom cluster :/

Yeah, just leave him. You can still totally eat him in two days when you pick all of them anyway.

You really shouldn't pull them out anyways. Cutting is far less damaging to the substrate than twisting and pulling. It's a myth that the leftover stumps will rot and contaminate.

You might as well give them the benefit of the doubt since you can't be sure all those are actually aborting. Leaving an abort for another couple days isn't going to hurt anything.

Dunno, maybe YOU should pick the aborts. Getting a strange acquaintance to come over to do it seems superfluous and an unnecessary risk.

I can't imagine saying AFOAF or SWIM will stop any investigating authorities from checking YOU out. They won't start trying to figure out which  friend of yours has a friend with a grow.
Just don't worry. Nobody's gonna come looking for you unless you do some really dumb stuff.

allright, allright, some forum forces you to say AFOAF, this one does not, noted.

well, on the whole batch, eight are growing, ALL the other are abort.

could it be because of temperature? external temp is 23°C but inside the terrarium it reaches 26-28°C

this is day 6, and they should be 2 times higher

well, your highest temp=82.4F and your lowest =73.4, so that seems just fine. They have a cortinate veil, so I am thinking maybe malabars?
they have a lot of bluing where the veil meets the edge of the cap, so maybe the RH is a little low, the caps are a little small so maybe the FAE is a little low, or the light, but they don't seem too stretched. I bet if you peel the duct tape off, there are lots of pins down in there, making it seem like you are not getting the yeild you want, all and all, I'd say you did ok, nothing to be upset about,certainly. I'd guess thats gonna dry to 8 grams +

well it's just that I had an other case in a filterbox, in this one I only has 5 tiny abort and a LOT of big ones

look :


5days growth (end of flush one, the other were already picked)
I put tape because I had a lot of invitro mushroom in this one.

As far as aborts go, LEAVE them until you harvest the rest of the flush... There is no harm in leaving them, and make sure you keep fanning. They will be that much more potent the longer you let them sit...

hum, dosing will be harder to evaluate then.
The normal ones usualy weight 15g fresh = 1.5g dry

when eating abort, should I consider 1 abort being as potent as a 1.5g dry mushroom?

are you sure they are safe to eat? they doesn't look yummy

truth be told, mushrooms vary in water content, but typically they are 92% water, so 12g fresh=1g dry (or 8%) but it varies a little.
I'm sure those are good to eat
I'd figure .7 pins/aborts =1 full size mush

Trust me, they are fine, i've eaten MUCH MUCH MUCH funkier looking mushies, both in the terms of mutants as well as "past their prime". Best way is to use a food dehydrator as they heat the mushy a little to dry to cracker.

Otherwise just let it dry then eat it.

As far as dosing goes, I'd dose like normal, and just enjoy the added bonus, otherwise if you are used to 1.5, then do 1.25'ish with partial aborts and part full mushies.

I like to dry my aborts and save them up into oz, then get some chocolate almond bark and 2 14-section icecube trays, and grind the mushies, mix into melted chocolate, then pour into the trays. You can make 28 BAD ASS mushroom chocolates that your friends will all love! I know everyone that I share with loves my chocolate (throw some toffee in there for added texture/taste) RAVES about the potency and the VISUALS! works very well :bigjoint:

Hope that helps bro :winning:

it depends. somtimes when i pick a tub their are so many pins, i just pick the big stuff and let the rest grow. but, those aren't really aborts. i don't think that mushie is going to get any bigger though. pick it.
