Yet another PE harvest question
    #24262188 - 04/21/17 04:27 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

So I've been searching and reading and searching and reading and here is what I have come up with for when to harvest PE
  • 1-When veil breaks
  • 2-When stem gets gnarly/knobby under cap
  • 3-When cap lightens in color
  • 4-When cap/stem starts to blue
  • 5-When fruit stops growing
  • 6-When fruit starts to get soft


Does anyone have an opinion as to which of these would be most correct in most cases?

I have 2 tubs from MS so I know I'm dealing with many different characteristics and that each fruit or group of fruits may be different but I'm trying to get a better idea if I should harvest. Selective harvest? If there is a harvest ready fruit in the middle of a grouping should I try to surgically remove it?

Here are some of todays pics

What i know and experienced about normal psilocybe cubensis is that they produce most active ingredients during early grow phase. As soon as first veils break is usually a good harvest time for me, as it also prevents dark spores from ruining their nice look.
However, Penis Envy is a little bit crippled considering spore drop etc. anyway, but id stick with what also works for all other cubensis strains.

Edit: Partially harvesting had bad effects on my following flushes, but you should probably wait for an opinion from a more experienced grower.

Personally I would harvest most of those, if not all

I wouldn't. Not until they get wrinkles under the caps, kinda like a ball sack. Like this:



Veil breaking doesn't really apply to PE.

Okay, good to know, it just looked to me like the pins were aborting and might as well harvest... :shrug:

Some of them are, but those big ones can get a few extra inches on them for sure

Thanks for the input. I'll let them go a bit longer.

What about the aborts? Should I try and pick those out? Will they rot?

You should pick aborts when you pick the whole flush.
