Do i have enough time to wait?
    #25131895 - 04/11/18 09:12 PM (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hi everyone, the veil is just beginning to tear on one of my mushrooms. I wanted to use this one for printing, but i have work in the morning. If its 11:10 PM right now, and i wouldnt be home until around 3:30-4:00 tomorrow afternoon (16-17 hours), do you think i have enough time before spores drop? I have heard they can mess up the next flushes so i want to avoid that. The veil currently has one big tear on one side and a small one on another side.

Thanks

I've only printed a couple times, but the second time I waited until they had dropped some spores.  And it took at least 24 hours from when the veil popped.  YMMV, but this hobby is about patience.

Did you find that the spores dropping messed up your next flushes? I have heard that you want to harvest them before the spores drop or else it can mess up the surface for the next flushes. Thats why i wanted to avoid it.

If it took a whole 24 hours from when it popped tho i should hopefully be fine i think. Thanks for the reply

Heh, I'm still learning, I'm not one of these massive growers.  My only monotubs were from some not-so-great agar plates and they carried bacteria - not a good test.

IMO, growers must adopt the attitude of The Dude.

I haven't seen spores mess with my next flushes.  I don't let it get too messy though.      I let it get to about what you see in my sig:thumbup:

I like to let most of the veils pop before I harvest, but I'm just one dude.  I'm sure there will be conflicting info lol.

You will probably be fine. That mushroom will open up quite a bit by then. But I doubt it will mess up your next flush any. It’s when you leave it there for a long time after it’s opened that it will drop a ton of spores on your substrate.

It's not gonna hurt anything if it drops some spores. Go ahead and wait til after work.

Or just rip the veil off and try to print it now.

Or set an alarm for the middle of the night. Wake up, print. Go back to sleep. I've done that many times.

Is the cap ready to print right when the veil breaks, or do I got to wait for the cap to flatten? If the veil just needs to break I'll set an alarm for the middle of the night for sure

Haha I like to wait till it flattens out a bit, the longer you wait the darker the print.  The longer you wait the more chance of contamination getting in your print though.

I’ve gotten really dark prints off of caps that have the veil stretched out almost ripping, then I rip it off myself. I like doing it that way, I feel like I get cleaner prints doing that.

Just print when you want? No need to be OCD. Half ripped veils, or caps folding upwards.. Both will print just fine, and both will have a second flush..

Damn I wish I woulda seen this sooner. I'm at work now and decided to let the cap open up, because I didn't know it could print with the veil just half torn. I hope it doesn't lose a lot of potency, it's a huge fruit

It will be fine. It doesn’t ‘lose’ potency. It just gets bigger. The actives don’t magically disappear.

Alright sweet, so if it weighs let's say 3 grams, it should still give me the same trip 3 grams usually gives me right? Or would I have to eat a little more due to the extra weight?

3g will be 3g. IME don't take extras thinking it will be weak just because you have a big mushroom with an open cap. Whenever I did that, almost always was I thoroughly surprised.

Sweet I should probably just let them all open then and get the extra weight. Is that what you usually do?

So far ive been letting them get like this:

I usually take mine right about when the veil is stretched and almost un-attached, or right after that point, or sometimes I catch them a little later when the cap has opened slightly more. I just never let them completely stretch out and get to the “fully mature” stage. You can do as you please, that’s just my personal preference.

I hate the look of a bunch of spores everywhere, so going right as the veil is tearing is never a bad thing. Personally I aim for just after its torn. Example:


You never want this:
