Urgent advice needed
    #26588308 - 04/09/20 08:38 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ahhh, everything is happening quicker than i thought.



From the pictures a few are clearly ready to be harvested, it happened so quickly and I just didn't expect the veils to break when the mushrooms were so small.

What do I do now?

Obviously harvest the ones that are ready, but how?

How far down do I cut the mushrooms?

Do I cut or twist and pull?

When I have to cut an entire cluster off, where do I cut it then?

Should I leave the other pins that haven't developed yet?

And once harvested, what then? Directly to the dehydrator? If so, mine is in centigrade so what temp should it be?


I am very sorry for the huge amount of questions, it's only because this suddenly crept up on me when I expected that I'd have much more time before my harvest. I've been researching everything kind of stage by stage so this has taken me for 6!!

Any help you folks could offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

P.S, why are they so small? (They're Golden Teacher and this is my first flush btw)

Grab at the base of stem, gently twist/rock back n forth.. it’ll come off the cake pretty easy.
I don’t use a dehydrator so I can’t say.
Are you using a standard SGFC? It looks like it in the pic but I can’t tell if you have holes all over the tub
(I know I’m new here but I’ve been growing shrooms for a few years lol and cakes still have a soft spot in my heart)

Indeed it is a standard SGFC

Cut them off even with the surface.
Let the others finish growing.
Dehydrate immediately, turn it up as high as it goes, for 24 hrs or until cracker dry.

Hmmm. It might be genetics. I’m guessing it’s a multi spore grow? With ms you never really know what you’ll get. But harvest the shrooms you have. Make sure to distinguish “pins” from “aborts” (aborts will look like a pin except the tiny head is black), dunk your cake for 24 hours, and put it back in the SGFC. Second flushes usually put out bigger fruits. I’m sure someone else will offer some more advice but I think you’re on the right track. Good luck my friend

Thank you for your reply.

Do you mean cut them even with the surface of the cake? What about when there's a cluster and only one of the mushroom veils has broken, but the rest haven't yet?

Thanks for the reply again dude. I'm not sure what multi spore grow is, but I can tell you that I ordered GT syringes and injected each jar with just that.

A syringe is multi spore. I’d highly recommend learning agar work. When I inoculate pf cakes I sterilize an empty syringe and some water in my pc for like 45 mins. Fill the syringe with the water and squirt water on to a fully colonized agar plate, agitate the mycelium with the needle tip and suck all the liquid back into the syringe, then I inoculate my cakes (all in a sab of course). If that makes any sense at all lol. But yea, learn agar it is one of the main keys in this hobby.imo.
Yes cut even with the surface of the cake. I usually twist/rock the stems or clusters off the cake. I use a blade to harvest tubs. Ime shrooms twist off cakes fairly easy. There are some tenacious buggers but just be gentle, wear gloves, and work them off the cake.

Clusters usually develop pretty evenly but if not you can give the smallest guy a little more time by leaving them on another hour or so. Then you just harvest them together.



Agreed. In the past when I’ve been in that scenario I decapitate the opened cap and drop that on foil to catch its print and harvest the younger ones later. Just an idea for you op

Thanks so much guys, this has helped a lot. I'm gonna wait another hour or so and see if a few more veils break. Then try to harvest those ones.

As for doing a second dunk...Do i wash all the verm off first? Then rehydrate for 12 - 24 hours, then put a fresh layer of verm on and back in the tub?

And before said dunk and roll, do I pull of pins or aborts?

Don’t worry about the verm layer when you dunk. And don’t put a new layer on it. Just harvest, dunk, flush. Bingo bango furry triango

You'll only do a dunk this time. No roll
