Very uneven growth, what to do?!
    #27093137 - 12/16/20 09:52 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

The veils starting breaking tonight and I assume a lot more will by tomorrow morning.

The problem is that there are all these smaller mushrooms that look way too small to harvest... could I use a scalpel to harvest the big ones so I can give the smaller ones some time to grow?

This is to be expected from multi spore genetics. I worried about the same thing when my first set of tubs were doing this. I spent a lot of time carefully trying to extract the big ones from the tub while trying not to damage the small ones. After the first flush I just stopped caring and cut them all down because it was too time consuming to worry about it.

To answer your question, yes. You can cut the bigger ones out. Try to cut as close to the surface as possible so that you dont end up with big stumps everywhere. Not that it really matters anyway. The stumps will eventually just start growing mycelium again.

You'll probably start to see more even growth on the 2nd or 3rd flush.

The first flush looked pretty similar to yours and this was the 2nd or 3rd flush. I can't remember.

Thanks Doctor Mario for taking the time to answer!

This is my first grow from scratch, so I do have the motivation to only harvest the big ones for now (itโ€™s a 6qt shoebox).

Hopefully that uneven growth wonโ€™t happen too often.

Does anyone know if there is a way of preventing or minimizing this from happening in the future?

Aside from making sure the substrate is nice and level when you spawn, all you can do is clone. MS genetics will have some that grow smaller/larger and slower/faster than others. Keep on trucking with MS until you see something that looks clone worthy and start over with that.

Take 10 clones from a large fruit that grew in a cluster. Make 10 shoe boxes from each clone that you selected. Chances are that not all of the tubs will produce exactly what you were hoping for but with some luck, at least one of them will. Clone from that one more time and expand that culture indefinitely.

Its easier said than done and takes a long time but thats the answer you're looking for.

I may have been guilty of a slightly uneven substrate, as I did not realize it could contribute to uneven growth.

I started working with agar as well so I'll take your advice and perform biopsies on a good specimen and start experimenting!

Thanks again!
