Harvest? * 1
    #25956103 - 04/26/19 05:46 AM (5 years, 8 months ago)

Well, because of all of YOU, I finally have a few fruits coming in!  I'm wondering about harvesting - go ahead and harvest as soon as the veil breaks even if the fruit seems a little small overall?  Is the fruit in the first picture ready to cut and dry?

Also, I have a dehydrator - should I put the fruit in as soon as I harvest it?  Even if I only have one or two?  Or, do I wait until I have more to do at one time?

Overall, my SGFC is looking a little pathetic - only a few cakes really doing much of anything, and those aren't doing anything fast!  Open to any advice you all might have - thanks for everything you've done!

I try to harvest just as the veil starts tearing, or right before regardless of size.

What he said ^

When the viel is getting ready to tear is when I like to harvest as well. It's all about preference though. Unless I'm taking a print.. I like the cap being more round than flat. I just like the way it looks, and at that point the mushroom is no longer producing more activities.

I would harvest all of that first cake. I wouldn't waste your time dehydrating a gram of mushrooms. Wait until you harvest them all. When you take the ones off the first cake.. just put them in a paper towel or a paper bag in the fridge. I've kept them in the fridge for two weeks with them being completely fine while i waited for some others to finish up.

All your other cakes will be coming in soon and will blow up within days. So just do them all at once! Energy friendly:gombypls:

There is a little personal preference when it comes to harvesting too. I like to harvest each little cluster once one veil breaks. Some people like to harvest the whole cake once one veil breaks. It takes more babysitting my way, but i feel that you're cheating yourself just a little by not letting some of them fully mature. Either way, congrats!

Those caps look a little moist so maybe hold off on misting and let it dry out a little. I harvest each individual fruit as the veil is breaking, generally.

Thanks so much!  I had JUST sprayed before taking the picture, but I am struggling to learn how much is enough and how much is too much.  I guess that's why we do SGFC - all the learning! 

Thanks again!

Yup, as said, harvest those with flat-ish caps. Also try to avoid misting your fruits directly. Direct water contact can eat thru shroom flesh if theres too much.
