My First Pins....is it harvest time?
    #18900420 - 09/27/13 08:07 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys, been lurking for a while, this is my 3rd grow, first 2 didnt make it past the colonization stage. These are my first cakes that have made it to the FC.

As you can see, they started off pretty good

This is when i first saw pins


Second day of fruiting


This is now, 4 days after fruiting.



Here is a close up, why is there black on them? if i rub my finger, the blackness comes off them. Are these spores? also, is it time to harvest?

It's spores. You can and should harvest them now. Most people like to harvest them before they spore everywhere. When the membrane that covers the gills pops open or right before is prime time to pick. Of course if you want to make a spore print then let them open up like that

Thank you Sir, I haven't tried shrooms before so i dont know how they;re supposed to look or how tall they're supposed to be. Im doing this because i grow medicinal herb and wanted to experiment with this. Is this how tall they should be? Theyre about 2 inches in total. Is this becuase the light is too close?

Since they're growing on cakes they're not going to get as big as one on a bulk substrate especially hpoo. Those look good man. When you grow with a syringe you get a mixed bag of genetics too so sometimes they could be tall and thin or short and fat or small caps or hollow stems etc... Either way yours look good and for reference that 4th day picture would have been a good time to harvest but by no means are things messed up because they dropped spores.

no sir, pins started after about 5 days in the FC. the "first day" pic is the first day i woke up to small pins.

Does light distance mess with the size of the shroom? is the taller the better?

No but adequate lighting is good though.
Taller is better to some but it's not really "better"
