First time grower. When should I harvest?
#26935115 - 09/14/20 12:00 PM (3 years, 4 months ago) |

The big one shot up overnight and looks ready to go. Should I be harvesting each one as they open up? How should I store and prep them before I'm ready to dehydrate?

typically you wanna harvest right before, right as, or right after the veil breaks. iβd harvest those bigger ones. you can keep em in a paper bag in the fridge. make sure you donβt use plastic, as you want them to be able to breathe. you donβt really have to do any special prepping before dehydrating, but i like to try to get as much coir & verm off before i dry
also your sub looks super dry to me, did you case it with dry coir or something?

I did add dry coir and then sprayed it alot with water. May have not been enough. The humidity level in the tubs have been a steady 70-90% tho.

ah yeah, with casings i think you typically wanna add field capacity hydrated coir. i usually pseudocase at spawn but itβs the same idea. you can just use whatever coir you used to spawn if itβs moist enough
iβm pretty sure you want your relative humidity to be like 95%+ in a mono. you donβt really need to measure the humidity, you can usually do it by sight & listening to what your tub is telling you. iβm gonna go ahead & guess that the dryness was a reason the flush was so small
congrats on the mushies though coulda done a lot worse for your first grow

Yeah thatβs a deep layer of dry coir. Next time I would just do the top layer at spawn and leave it. You donβt want to add anything super dry like that as a casing.
Those four big ones are all good to go. I like to get them before they open when the caps are round but itβs all personal preference.

The first mushie I picked was over 90 grams wet! The rest of the tub started coming in today. I'm going to have over a kg of mushies after this flush

It took about 3/4 days from pin. But doubled in size overnight.

That foils too big, trim it down to just barely bigger than the cake and you should get better results.

This cluster weighed in at almost 200g. These things are massive.
