Ot, but is that green on your cake....or am I looking at it wrong? Verm rolled yes...
Also I find the blob thing odd. I would agree that I don't think I would deal with a first flush of something like that. I would look at finding other genetics that grew taller....even if that means not PE. I have not been around any PE ever, so I may just be ignorant. If I am, just forgive me in advance, but that seems like a bundle of work. From what a friend is saying, the Pink buffalo seem to really chew up substrate and get dense fast, but they seem to be a bit taller on first flush.

Typically I will turn the entire tub on it's side, and while playing the air guitar with my fingers, "plucking" them from the substrate.
Some of them are "rooted" pretty good in the substrate, so some of them tear out small chunks, how do you guys deal with this?
I have had tubs with about 20 blobs the size of golf balls, and I have had tubs with literally thousands of small, marble sized blobs, but it would me 3 years to harvest each small blob individually, but at the same time harvesting all these tiny things tears up the substrate and makes me think it's hindering my next flush.
So what are your guys secrets for harvesting these bad motha fuckas?
I like PE isolates that don't "stick" to the substrate as much. Some of my isolates were dug into the sub pretty deep and ripped up divots. Some came off no problem. When I harvest penis balls (*snicker*) I twist and pull. In fact, I twist and pull with most PE because I find the genetics I keep are the ones that don't tear the sub up at all. Other cubes tho, I cut at the base.

I've never tried it.... but I read on here where someone used a low test fishing line to harvest tubs. I've always thought about trying it.... but just never did. Just loop it over the cluster and pull the line tight. I know PE is a lot more dense but it might be worth a try.

It's actually bruised from picking and being too dry. Very blue. I'm dunking now and gonna keep a close eye on the blob . If it gets any weirder I'm picking it. So when I do I guess I'll just twist it off like a mushroom.

hey hacker, i got my first flush from PE spore about to finish with no blobs. only one weird fucky mutant. i agree with tripdawg, just wash your hands and carefully pick them. i've got a gigantor i'm about to clone today, and a good cluster to clone later. love PE

I'm sure you came to the conclusion with your own common sense man, best way to be gentle to your sub is to do it by hand. Honestly, the best mushies I've had from someone else were little shroom balls. I called em popcorn mushies, I'm glad I know where they came from now.

P.E is wonderful to grow. I would just suggest getting genetics of the strain to prevent this from happening. Fresh P.E is the best IMO.

I just use a scalpel on the ones that don't easily come off by hand. IDK of any easier way to do it. I just make sure to clone something ASAP.

For me, PE blobs come off with a gentle turn; first one way and then the other if it doesn't give right away.
Mine are not very deeply attached to the substrate and I've yet to harm it.
I've had whole first flushes be blob-acious. Followed by an amazing second flush of normal PE's.
Some of the blobs are pretty amazing. I really don't mind them and in fact am kind of amused by them.
This particular blob was on steroids, and way ahead of the rest of blobs. Ha ha.
