Update now all cakes are pinning and a few of the very first pins are maturing albeit very strangely. Thanks again and any constructive criticism would be appreciated, one of the two fat ass pins seems to have stopped growing and is barely unfurling its cap on one side. Is this due to too much/too little water or maybe genetics, something else. This isnt multispore but i only did one transfer before using a large chunk to make a LI so im wondering if its genetics, a few other small pins did this too when the cap and veil starts to be appearant but i picked them b/c i though they were fucked or something. they look like little bowling pins smiling so im hoping it's genetics haha, they're only opening on one side. Haha anyways im rambling, thanks again for the help guys ill keep ya posted!

Good job man! Is this your first grow? I have had weird growing pins my first flush/and grow but mine were multispore inocs. Second flush they grew like beatiful specimens! And one tip i could offer is in your mist/fan technique (not saying you have a problem) I find it best to do it 5 times a day and never spray directly onto mushrooms/cakes mist into the air above REALLY improved my yeilds because i was miss-lead into spraying directly. Oh and if you enjoy being a tad bit more patient then try casing layer next they are alot of fun and yeild is a bit better in my experience!!

Not a problem, next step after harvest is gonna be drying though, you gotta have a game plan for picking them and drying properly. Fan drying first and a drying agent like damprid are basically necessary to get cracker dry mushrooms. Fresh are always far better than dry however soon you will have more than you can eat (properly) in a weeks time.

Yea kinda been learning this the hard way. I dont like to have my shit out drying while im at work for 8+ hours. Paranoid about the landlord randomly coming in to check on whatever. Throwing them in an air tight container with damprid and putting it under my bed gives me peace of mind lol.

Put some mangoes on the top tray of the dehydrator or some shit?
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Yeah man, ive got about an eighth dried so far, these shrooms are smaller so they are literally bone dry (dropping them would break them to pieces) in like 3-5 hours. Dehydrators seem like the way to go forsure. https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/psilocybin/psilocybin_chemistry.shtml the quicker you get them dry also locks in the potency as long as you don't exceed 170* degrees C which exceeds all dehydrators haha. I think the heat destroys psilocin/psilocybin is bs at dehydrator-able temps. Haveing H2O or any O seems to be what kills potency more than anything. Psilocin degrades so quick in O it wasnt even measured in a water solution only alcohol. A dehydrator is a worthwhile investment in this hobby for 60$.

Cakes have never impressed me TBH. They always seem really inocsistent, like they run out of water hard core if they get a good pinset.

Hell yeah woke up to these bad boys I've got one 66qt almost at 100% but i'm leaving out of town the 20th for two weeks so if she ain't fruiting by then i'll have to toss it.

The tub? Hells no, fruit it and let it be, tubs dont need attention like cakes do, at least on the first flush. Most people don't need to mist it even once on first flush(especially if you hydrate grains before spawning). Tubs are cool like that, set and forget.
It will take about 10-14 days to pin anyway so even if you fruit it a few days before you leave it will almost be time to harvest by the time you get back. Worst that could happen is they drop a shitload of spores by the time you get there.

I'd rather not leave it set up unsupervised for 2 weeks. My landlord has to give a month notice if theres gonna be inspections, etc. so thats not what i'm worried about. however, ive read tons of stories about a fire in shared apartments and the fire dept finds shit and then they call cops. I know it probably wont happen but i don't wana take the risk. Plus i really wana try out some new varieties of cubes

You should get a good flush before you leave as long as the temp is above 65F, as I've said before. Especially from multispore, you can expect slightly scragley flushes, but I think it will be mostly done before you're gone and you can feel fine about tossing it.
Chances are IME you'll get two meh flushes in quick succession.

Ahh I see, that makes sense. Sucks but it makes sense. Looks like your landlord is one of those fags who does not appreciate privacy. Sure its his apartment but there is nothing wrong with calling before he makes himself at home. Thats what my landlord used to do if he needed to check up on me/came for the rent. He wouldnt even go in for his money alone when I was working strange hours.

Haha my landlord/prop managers are actually pretty cool. As long as the rents on time they really don't care what we tenants do haha, my neighbor grows weed haha. It'd be some freak incident like the place catching fire then the fire dept having to break in and find that shit that scares me the most. That honestly seems to be how most people get caught. But is the mono is pinning
