First shoebox ever harvested today * 1
    #26365269 - 12/06/19 03:08 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

This is my very first mono shoebox ever. First flush - The Valley of Pink Buffalo



I just harvested by picking. It kinda if ripped some holes in the substrate, will the mycelium take back over? Or should I put dry vermiculite on top or just leave it? It’s being dunked now.

The myc should cover back up the open spots. I would just leave it alone. The divots aren't the best though. I would suggest slicing as close to the casing as possible instead of ripping the mushrooms out in the future.

A lot of them also had fuzzy feet when I picked the, is that safe to eat? Or should I go back through my whole crop with some scissors and cut off the bottoms?

Thanks. It’s dunking for several hours right now and then I’m going to but it back in the box and lock the latches. I’m doing the unmodified,l tub tek,  so I shouldn’t have to do anything but sit and leave it. They were like this last night, so I waited until tonight to harvest, and to my surprise the caps still didn’t really open flat. The biggest they got is a big dome shape. That probably has to do with genetics or the type. It’s weird the way they grew, they broke their veils so early when growing from pins, and they never even dropped spores.

Carful don't dunk for too long. You dont want to over saturate, just re hydrate. 3 hours is more than enough imo.

Furry slippers are fine.  You did well for your first!  Feels good, doesn't it?!  :grin: Don't worry about the places where you ripped them out.  I've had mycelial mats that looked like they'd been bombed after harvest and they flushed another 2-3 times with very little attention being paid to them.  Sometimes, less is more.

Second flush of my shoebox of Pink Buffalo. This was a monster of a flush and have a different quality and look than of my first flush. I think maybe I didn't let the first flush fully mature, this second flush was a beast. I had a lot of side mushies that grew into huge mushrooms also!!! I didn't use a liner (definitely will next time), but the side mushrooms were bursting cracked open stems with glowing blue juiciness because of the limited side space. This harvest was almost bitter sweet because I decided to not go for a third flush since this whole project exceeded my expectations. This harvest was glorious, and my fingers were covered with a fresh dark sporey and blue liquid I wanted to suck my finger tips dry lol!!! Bitter sweet, but it was fun, behold the second flush of the Mighty Pink Buffalo!!!

    #26380885 - 12/14/19 08:33 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Thanks! I used almost about 2 quarts colonized spawn. I had two jars that were 75 percent or 2/3 of the way full, so almost 2 quarts. For sub I used Damions 50/50 tek, but I had a whole lot of bulk substrate over. I did it this way because with it being my first monotub shoebox ever I didn't know the exact ratios to scale it down to, so I just did the whole thing, used what I needed and got rid of the rest. If I had more colonized jars then I could of had multiple shoeboxes I could of made. First flush was about 290 wet, I got an ounce dry. This second flush I got more than 500 grams wet, I didn't write the exact number, maybe 558 it was...? They've currently been going in the dehydrator now for 12 hours so far so I'm not sure what the dried weight is, but it could come close to about 2 ounces just from this second flush alone. So in total I'm looking about 3 ounces I think. It's probably going to take a while in the dehydrator, been going for almost 12 hours at 95 degrees, and I usually let it run for a whole 24 hours. I'm going to have to switch it off and turn it back on for another 12 hours when I get back from work because I don't like an appliance like that just running at home while I'm not there. I used a spore syringe.

Ya those are some good numbers,  congrats!

I just dis my first tub aswell and I used 2 qts of spawn also. Rather than using a shoebox I used this little tub that was 11x12. I hit 48 gs dry the first flush and then I tossed it..

After seeing his u got more from the second flush then ur first, I'm a little upset with myself to say the least...

Oh well live and learn.

Ohh ya and I'm a few days out from harvesting my next tray, which has a sick fucking pinset... its literally nothing but pins you cant even see sub...

I'm gonna show u cus it get mes so excited lol.

Gotta love this stuff!

So did you dubtub the shoebox once they outgrew it then?

Btw if I'm only drying 1-2 ozs or less than two trays on the dehydrator, I just crank it to 160 and they are usually good to go in 5-6 hours.

They say that they can handle that kind of heat no problem too.

No I didn't have to because they grew right up to the lid, and they were actually pushing up on the lid to be honest and popping it off!!! They grew to the perfect size, nice meaty big shrooms, but not overly gigantic. They almost had an intimidating factor about them as I was harvesting last night. One weighed 15 grams wet and I was thinking about eating it fresh last night as I harvested, but I didn't want to strap myself to a rocket that I couldn't get out of. I know that's only about a 1.5 dried, but I haven't tripped in YEARS, so I don't know how hard I would of tripped, especially with it being fresh. Yes, please keep me updated with yours. I have always heard the second flush is usually the biggest flush, after that everything falls off, so that's why I didn't want to do a third. I think my first flush would of been like this, I let this one go for abut 12 hours more than my first. My first one had opened caps, but I didn't let them get to full potential with them flattening out. What a difference of an extra 12 hours makes, because this time they grew and matured to their full potential. Can't wait to see yours!!! What are you growing?

I have heard that too, but I did my last one at 95 degrees, so I'm just doing it the same, it just takes longer. Do you think I'm losing potency doing it how I am? There's no way I could of got this on two trays, I had to use four trays.

Ya I think maybe it was about an ounce that I fit onto 2 trays. But i have a rectangular one so it probably holds more than those circle ones. Also size matters If you for smaller shrooms or pins you'll get more weight in a  tray, and my average mushroom was about 5Gs wet for that grow. I just harvested some malabar though and they were so fat,  had on that was 32Gs !

Anyway to answer you question about losing potency, yes from what I've gathered from a certain TC on here (cant remember whom) said that there are proteins that are destroyed by the drying process, that degrade the actives in those mushrooms and basically every hour that they are not dried the those proteins are breaking down your active compounds...

Side note: you should of totally date that shroom 15gram fresh isn't much at all. But then again u know u!

So do you think I have bunk mushrooms then from dehydrating the way I did? I'm worried about that now like I was worried and paranoid about pinning.

Okay cool, because I haven't gotten to enjoy the fruits of my labor yet!!! I will though sometime this week. I just checked my dehydrator they're mostly all cracker dry, but some are still bendy, so I think I'm just going to crank it all the way up for another 5 or 6 hours. You think 155 is safe? My dehydrator goes to 155.

Your fruits will probably be fine but I definitely recommend dehydrating at high temp 150+  for best results. Also spunky that tray u posted looks like almost all the mushrooms are aborting.

Yup! I dries all mine at 160 and just tried 7.5 grams of my first fruits that were dried (basically all of my aborts that I pulled) and man let me tell you I was absolutely floured!

Enjoy your trip man!

Maybe not all of them but there’s a lot that are getting that greyish look on the cap and those normally abort

I bet the potency is fine. Iv left fresh cubes in the fridge for a few days before dehydration without any potency issues so your probably good just crank up the dehydrator :thumbup:
