For me they look ready, at least I would pick them at that stage. But I guess you could get them darker yet still. I'm definitely no trusted cultivator but I think I've got a good handle on the semps lol. But yeah for me I'd probably be harvesting now. They look good though!

getting darker for sure



gonna leave em cooking a few more days

Two weeks.

I like them dark chocolate and dropping spores. Semps aren’t mushrooms that look fine one day and turn to slime the next morning.

Mackload they're looking amazing bro.

I've often let them go so dark I've seen the sub send white myc up as though to reclaim the fruit before the shroom even loses integrity. They are not fickle fruits and maintain their structure for a long time. Very stoked to see it man and hope whenever you try some you thoroughly enjoy your trip.

Here's my coir HWFP tub Camel, to my surprise he's thrown a quick 4th out over the last few weeks! I thought I'd be waiting a while. Pics from this morning, my tubs have all been left a bit dry/ in a stuffy low airflow area for 10 days.

I used a single 4" 18W 5000k t5 style led light above the tent. ANY type of "grow light" is overkill for mush.

To be honest I needed something that also could be inside the temperature fridge and the new shelf I got. I'm on a 240V grid and don't have a lot of options

Buckdog said:

I only need enough light to direct them. Might go with vivosun instead cause I can get something much cheaper that should work just fine. I feel the semps really need some light or you get a tangled spaghetti mess. It seemed to fill the tub more maybe but what a pain in the ass

My semps disagree with you... Or perhaps not I may have misread your meaning.

These had a single 18W t5 style led above the tent. Bulb cost me less than $10

These make great lights for mush.

LED LIGHTS

all cakes birdseed inoculated at the same time. right wouldn't birth, possible bacteria, jar fruiting with verm casing.  left, birthed healthy looking but dry cakes, rolled in coir. finally coming along too

The cakes in the jars lost faith in you not being able to birth them, told the birthed cakes you weren't worthy. Now that you got your jar cakes to the finish line they realized they were wrong and told the birthed cakes to move along as you now are their god. This is the only explanation

I'm pretty damn sure those are semps or at least something within section Zapotecorum, in fact they look A LOT like wild Semperviva specimens which is quite cool and that's quite a damn grow tbh so good job rockinrobot! this looks absolutely awesome and tbh the coolest aesthetics I've seen on cultivated semps in a long time. Which fruiting method did you use? I love this look.
