First time APE's, time to harvest? * 1
    #26669758 - 05/14/20 12:36 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I have been reading and searching the forums for months now and I haven't needed to ask a question until now.  My question has to do with my particular grow which is Albino Penis Envy. I'm not sure on when to harvest these as the normal veil breaking time for regular cubes doesn't seem to apply.  Here are the pics of my shoebox from pins until now. 

The bigger ones are about 40mm tall or 1.5 inches.  Seems a little short to harvest, but it could just be the size of the first flush.  I would like to get a general sentiment of how much longer to wait if at all?

May 7 (day 17)


May 9 (day 19)


May 10 (day 20)


May 11 (day 21)


May 13 (day 23)


I searched and found that when the caps get soft it's time to harvest, I have been touching the caps of the biggest two in there to see if they are starting to get soft but I can't tell the different yet.  The caps are starting to curl out as you can see in the last picture. Not sure what that means for APEs.

I have learned so much from this community, this place is straight awesome.  Thanks for helping a noob out.

Idk when apes should be harvested, just wanted to say sweet grow dude :rockon::mushroom2:

I'd let them ride for day or a two more maybe and then harvest at once.. its not like you got to worry about spores lol

Pastywhyte, "Often the caps for PE varieties either open extra early or not at all. With APE I look for the caps to go navy blue and lose the shine. A bit of a shaggy look around the stipe and if you give one a gentle squeeze and it goes soft it’s likely ready." 

Here are posts by Stareatclouds on their harvesting.

Very nice! The last photo looks ready for harvesting in my opinion.

Thanks @nix21

@Mugnath Definitely haven't seen those thread by Stareatclouds, thanks for the find and for the pastywhite quote.  I think that these suckers have hit most of the criteria for harvest time.  The caps lost their shine overnight seems like.  I gave the cap a squeeze and it's a bit softer.  The stem is definitely soft and squishy.  I will probably harvest tonight and then dunk.

@Logical Chaos Thanks man!  I am itching to harvest!

So I harvested these suckers, 120g wet and 9.75g dry.  I'm gonna give them a go this Saturday.  Hopefully the next flush will have a bigger yield.

After harvest, on the dehydrator:

Update:  Here is the second flush.  Loads bigger and the caps haven't opened all the way, nor have they achieved the deep blue yet.  So I have a couple more days, I think.
