When is the correct time to harvest?
    #27307999 - 05/14/21 07:56 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi this is my first post here, and first grow. Received the spores April 14 and first got fruits about 10 days ago. I’m just not sure if it’s too early to harvest some of them, as about 2 or 3 now have green caps, but the small ones are brown. Unmodified tub with brown rice, with cvg. This is Penis envy uncut

Haven’t grown peu yet so can’t tell you. But if it’s like anything else then it’s all personal preference. On a different note. Did you scrape your surface with a fork? If so why.

Ya that sub looks pretty rough. All of its basically yellowing. Could be too dry or just unhealthy. Surface conditions look super dry to me you wanna have little beads of water over the whole sub. Im not 100% but scraping it isn't the best thing either. Maybe like a last chance thing to get some fruits for a spore print or cloning. The edges where you didn't scrape it look the healthiest to me. With regular PE you can pick them when the stipes ( stem ) goes from pretty solid to a little mushy. That big guy looks like it could be picked but I'd let the rest go for a bit.

Yeah not enough moisture and I'm not sure why you scraped it with a fork.the blackened caps means it is likely aborting.

surface conditions look dry, re hydrate that substrate. perhaps research into heavy misting if you feel your substrate is very very dry

It was such a thick layer and it was starting to turn blue and honestly I thought it wasn't going to pin at all, I read somewhere sometimes the top layer is too thick and to scrape it. Like 4 days after I scraped it the first baby mushroom appeared.

It took like 3 weeks to fully colonize and after 10 days I started fruiting conditions. After the 3 week mark or close I got impatient and assumed it wasent gonna work at all so I had nothing to loose by scraping it. The top layer was very dense but this is my first grow so I don’t know anything really. I just saw somewhere that if it was really thick and not pinning sometimes scraping helps. About 3 days after I scraped the first one came up. Pre scraping it was completely covered and white, also from the moisture it was turning blue.  Thank you for advice on picking tho yesterday it was hard like a carrot today it’s a little softer so I’m gonna cut that one off. Overall a lot more is growing since I took the pictures. Also again first grow so I don’t know when it looks dry/ too wet, rn I mist the surface, manually fan for like 10 minutes, then mist the walls and close it.

APEs especially take a very long time from my understanding. Im growing my first round of them myself rn and havent gotten fruits yet so I cant say from personal experience but from what Ive read you have to be very patient with APEs, I imagine u scrapping the sub with a fork did nothing but lessen the flush you would have gotten if u had left it alone.
This hobby might as well be a practice in patience mate
