How to tell when Apes are ready to harvest? * 1
    #26672303 - 05/15/20 09:39 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey all!

This is my first Ape harvest and, from what I’ve read, Apes don’t drop spores and I’m not seeing any veils on them.

So when is the right time to harvest? What are the signs you look for to tell you it’s ready to pick?

Here’s what my tub looks like so far

(Note, these are MS brf cakes spawned to bulk, 1:1 coir, 4 cakes in this tub)

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.

Stems will go blue and get soft. That's when I like to take them.

Thanks! Took your advice, plus i'm monitoring surface conditions more now since my room temperature has been very variable lately. And I read on another thread here that APES are very thirsty. Seems to be the case.

Awesome thanks! I'll keep an eye on them for those signs.

It happens fast. About the only thing with apes that is fast.
