Bad timing on harvest. When to dry? Poll inside!
    #22054968 - 08/06/15 06:37 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So, I have a first flush of shrooms from my latest mono tub.
She's a full pinset. Totally packed, All the pins came up last Sunday, Today its looking like the most mature fruits are 10-15 hours away from veil break.

I am going to be gone for the weekend. Friday morning until Sunday night. So about 56 hours away from my mono tub.

This is shitty because I want to pick the most mature fruits out right away to avoid a spore dump.

The problem then is what to do when I do pick them...
I have a few options.

Option 1) Place the picked fruits in the fridge and get them on the dehydrator when I return on Sunday.

Option 2) pick them and put them on the dehydrator on the lowest setting ( 95 degrees f ). I usually dry them at 120 for 24-30 hours and they always come out bone dry.
This way they will be on for about 50+ hours which is just unnecessary. I want to minimize the potency lost.

Option 3) Dont pick the fruits and deal with spore-splosion.

Option 4) Pick the fruits and set them on the dehydrator, Ask my roomate to remove them on saturday mid-day and zip lock bag them. ( this would be ideal if I was confident he wouldn't fuck this up. He's a cool guy but doesnt know shit about drugs and doesn't want to be involved, which I respect, It would be awkward to ask him.)


Sugestions?
What should O.P do?
You may choose only one

How do you even know they're 10+ hours from spore drop?
Pics will help.

Just blow a computer fan or something small on them...  dehydrate when you get home.

this may not be helpful but i would have picked them this morning and dried them. just for future reference. you dont have to wait for the veil to break and i always felt getting them when they are still closed but big gives you the perfect weight/potency/looks ratio

Sorry my camera sucks. Pics won't help.

I've had 12 + flushes and know when they are ready to open the veil.

Usualy I pick them right after they open up, which is in about 10 hours.
The only time I left them longer was over 4th of July weekend and I had major spore drop then, Not sure how long until there is risk of major spore drop, but leaving shrooms with an open cap for 3 days will probably do it.

They'll be fine in the fridge, I left a bowl of cubes in the fridge and forgot about them until I was pissed about my big bowl disappearing and went hunting for it. Idk exactly how much time passed but probably at least two weeks. When I found the bowl in a drawer, under a trashbag of extra pasty plates, they were a little soft but still white on the inside. I threw them away because they had verm all over them and I didn't want to clean them.

Three days will be fine.
