Harvesting issues...
    #18811465 - 09/07/13 12:41 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Ok, so I used to harvest my coir monotubs with the twist and pull method. I tore up the surface really bad, but I still got 3-4 flushes before any sign of infection. I read some posts by people that use scissors to cut the fruits at the base. I've tried this method my past few cycles with little success. The harvesting goes much faster, which is great when you have multiple tubs going. The problem is I'm only getting 1-2 flushes before the tubs get infected.

Should I go back to the tedious twist, pull and clean method? Is there something I can do to prevent the stubs from turning green? Should I pull out the stumps after I cut or is that really no different from twist and pull?

Any help is appreciated :grin:

maybe your confusing bruising of the base stem to infection/mold/bacteria. i would need pics to be completely sure.

The only diff i ever saw between twist&pull and cutting them is not pulling up a bunch of pins when you cut.


I cut mine and I let my tubs go till they stop making mushrooms, not until they're infected. The last tub i did went 7 flushes, the 7th being 3 fruit bodies weighing 6g dry. Tossed it after that. First flush was 3oz dry

Also remember that if you get a huge first flush the following flushes will usually be minimal.

If you only get 2 or 3 oz off the first flush then you'll probably get several more little flushes but if you pull 6 or 7 oz off the first flush I wouldn't expect a whole lot more out of the tub.

In the warmer months I let my tubs flush twice then dump them in the woods and get a killer third flush. My last third flush in the woods was 4.8 oz.  That same tub I got about 4 oz off the first flush and a little over 2 oz on the second
