[updated:12/30@7:50PM] [question]Fruiting (Alacabenzi) day 12: harvest [w/ pics]

Im posting this partly because I'm selfish, and takin pics of my mushies makes me happy. 
So, first grow ever. MS Syrige to Ryeberries to coir/verm 10x10" tray in small monotub. Day 10 of fruiting. Pins started appearing on Day 7. I just misted and fanned the tub. I noticed some fuzzy feet so I increased FAE by adding manual fanning several times a day, and took out some of the pollyfill.
Watcha guys think? If it were you, personally, would you make any minor adjustments?
How many days left do you think I got till harvest?

Haha thanks fellas! What I'm most curious about is how much taller they're gunna get. Like, I feel like this is quite a decent amount of mushies for 5 quarts of sub. I wonder if the mushies will be shorter due to there being so many of em¿

just give em lots of fresh air exchange, mist as needed, when theyre lookin dry, and theyll get their full size in about 2-3 days i think...
also, its the best time to take some clones out! pop some agar in the pc and operate on some fruits if you can.

Yessss! I'm planning on cloning. So, I'm guessing your suggesting to clone now because it's clear which are the biggest mushies & none of them have dropped their spores yet, so I know I'm not getting spores in my agar. Is this right?
I haven't done too much cloning reaearch yet. Do you have any particular teks that you suggest? I'm afraid of taking my biggest candidates out of the races early tho
EDIT: I've read some shit, but from personal experience I don't know how I would tell if the shrooms are getting dry or not. Part of the reason why I posted these pics.
Preciate your time gentleman!

Looks like you lucked out on the good genetics.
What was your spawn/sub ratio? I have a feeling you were closer to a 1:1?
Harvest will be the next morning or afternoon.

Thanks man, I'm definitely not complaining! I kinda eyeballed it so, I don't know exactly what my ratio was but it was closer to a 1:4

Right, I think I can kinda see the veil starting to separate on the bigger ones. After doing some searching on the site, I think Ima wait till it completely breaks so I can see the caps open up

Nice! You can pick them now unless youre going for prints. I usually pick before caps flatten because they look better and dont turn to dust as easy
Since this is your first grow it wouldnt hurt to see the whole life cycle

Sweet! Preciate the help ma dude! I'm thinking I'll pick this flush right as their caps go horizontal/ still concaved down a little.

Appreciate it my dude! From what it seems like I just got lucky with genetics 
If I had to guess, the jar that I used to spawn took 41 days to colonize & it looked like maybe only a very small number of spores germinated & maybe I just got lucky with them being good fruiters.  Who the hell knows...
I know man. I've been waiting on those suckers to balloon up for you now. I drastically gave mine tons of FAE 24/7 with like 2-3 mists a day for the last 2-3 days (I also loosened up a lot of the Polly) . Idk if you can use that info at all but 
I can see my sub drastically shrinking today from them opening their caps. I might get a syringe and inject water around the shrooms. Not really sure if that's a thing lol

Yeah I was suspecting you might have good genetics as well as the fact that it looks like they are really loving your substrate.  Your substrate is shrinking from the caps sucking up all the water. I would soak your sub at the end of your flush or possibly then next one to to give it a boost.
I think I figured out part of my problem. My room has been rather cold around 68 degrees, Im going to try to raise it to the low to mid 70s and see what happens.
Ive been starting to mist and fan more and it seems to be helping. 
I believe it also has something to do with the thickness of my sub. I didn't realize how thin it was around 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick Its all trial and error so I will just tweak my set up on the next go around and see what happens.
Might try a Coir substrate and increase the depth, spawn ratio.   
I have been noticing quite a few new pins in Tray 2 as well as pins starting to pop finally in Tray 1 so we will see what happens in the new few days.
Ill keep you all updated

Hell yeah man, appreciate the update. Yeah... I noticed the sub shrinking drastically too. I syringed some water on the sides for the remainder of the first flush, and definitely gunna dunk after this flush.
I went ahead and cherry picked the first few fruits that were the most developed. I figure I picked about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of em. I was a little disappointed with the weight, but with just 1 quart of spawn I really can't complain.
Here are the ones I picked (wet weight: 58.6 grams)

I already threw them in the dehydrator after taking 2 clone samples of the biggest one!

Hey guys, finished picking most of the flush this afternoon. Total wet weight was 259.2 grams.
Besides the couple of large shrooms left. Should I pick any of those pins prior to dunking?

from my experience you are better off just harvesting everything. The small pins you see now are mostly aborts. The rest are good to harvest anyway.

Oh yeah! My bad I forgot to update this thread yesterday. So after everything was picked, my final stats for first flush were: Wet: 310.3 grams Dry: 23.9 grams
Here's a pic of them dried out and turned to powder:

I find that powdering it makes things a lot easier. I usually put it in Chili or similar. I knew some people that used puding. It also digests faster that way. The wet weight always looks more impressive than when its dry. Either way, it was a good run.
