If they hit the lid it's fine. They'll start being around and leaning as they get bigger. Don't mess with the perlite. If you pack it down and cover the bottom holes, you'll have way more problems.
Twist and pull, or use scissors. It doesn't matter too much. Whatever you prefer. I generally do a mix of both.

I think you'll find it's ridiculously easy to gently twist/rip them off.
That 'little' dude was the cream of the crop. Supposedly a colorado strain - looks exactly like B+ to me. And, it had started ripping itself off the substrate... It was propped against the side until veil ripped, and then plucked.
It's kinda depressing how small they will end up being though. But a little goes a loooong way. 
Update with pics!! I know you got some good material there. Like I said, I think you'll be pulling a few on Monday.

you are right about them kinda being depressing how small they are, that's why ive been looking into monotubs. Like I said I hope I get enough for 1 trip and itll be a success in my book. Now knowing what I know, bulk is the only way to get any REAL harvests, and that's what I plan on doing next!
by the way, still having problems with them bruising, any idea what could be causing that?(I still mist twice a day, and it seems to be fine, I might give them a tiny tiny tiny spray if they are looking dry between mists, but ONLY once a day.) The first pic captures it the best, but it looks like that on the rest of them, and its getting more apparent every day. 
I would relly like to get some more flushes out of these, as there are a shitload of pins coming out now, and I feel like I could get at least one more flush, with 2 pushing it. ideas?
also, some of the veils of the mushies are like half off, but they seem to have grown that way, they don't look like they peeled back yet, kinda weird to me, has anyone else seen this?(ill add pics tomorrow)

Bruised from being dry. You have to somehow get the sides more wet when misting while maintaining the top the same you have been.

disregard my last PM lol, I will try and figure it out. I was thinking it was from being dry but I thought I was watering enough
I was also thinking it could be from the bacteria that grew when I soaked them that one day. that plausible?

i've never seen myc like that before... It's aerial and very dense. Very pretty. After a few flushes, throw it outside in some manure in the shade and throw a tarp over it... You never know what you'll find after a good rainy 3 or 4 days
Without a humidity reading, I have no idea what to tell you. You'll def end up with enough. Fear not there...

well, I got 74 grams wet from 2 cakes, still have 3 left but the fruits wont be ready till tomorrow.
Have a crapload of pins on all of the ones so far so ill have another 40 grams probably before I re dunk and start the 2nd flush
my question is how long do I dry in the dehydrator to get em cracker dry? using a presto dehydrator which dries at 165F.
Thanks for all the help guys, im loading pics so ill post some soon. The fruits are small, all less than 6 inches id estimate although a few are about that long. Again thanks guys, wouldn't have been possible without you the community at shroomery, thanks guys, ill keep you updated.

grats! No idea how a dehydrator works... I imagine you'd want to follow the instructions for drying something like fruit?

I dried 75 grams wet yesterday, cracker dry is about 45 minutes. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what that means but they snapped when bent, guessing they are good. I would think that keeping hem in after that point would harm the potency. Thoughts?
Also most people said it would take 4-8 hours, sometimes overnight, I feel like the temp in mine is too high though.

You should be able to crush them into dust with your fingers. Simply being able to snap is not enough.

ok guys, got a question for yall, when do you consider the first flush over?
the majority of the first pins are gone if not all, but more have grown(started before the first fruits were picked) and are almost done. Should I A. pick them tomorrow and re-dunk the cakes for 12 hrs and start the second flush or B. keep them in the SGFC till they stop pinning? The cakes are REALLY REALLY bruised and im thinking it might be time to re-dunk because the bruising is caused by dryness.
thoughts?(I need help here guys, this is the last stretch!)

Sounds like 2nd flush is on. Dunk for 8-12 hours. No need to pick growing pins. They can take it.

Looks like they did pretty good. A hint for next time is you can sit the cake in a saucer of water when the pins are in and growing and the cake will suck up the water and pump it into the fruits. Change the water every morning and watch the fruits get huge.

great, thanks for the tip! about how much water do you recommend putting in the saucers?
do you still need to mist when doing that?

Just around 10-15 ml or so. Change it every morning. Of course keep up the misting.

time to make the step to mono's after my next round of cakes, which I will be making a log for as well, should get better yields with 6 cakes and a better strain. didn't want to try the mexi-cubes I had till I had a little more experience.
