Harvesting Question - Z Strain - Timing
    #27802331 - 06/02/22 06:49 AM (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hey y'all 👋

So I grew a few tubs of Z Strain recently and harvested them at various stages of their growth.

I know the general rule is to cull when the veil starts to break. But! These Z Strain get super wavy caps after dropping spores and they look fuckin wicked cool like that vs typical penis looking mushy right after veil breaks.

Is there something I can do to keep them from all getting dusted from the spores, but still let them mature to the wavy cap point? Or even a way to clean the cake after harvesting. I do modified MonoTubs with 2 inch holes about midway up the buckets.

Or is that not actually that good to let em mature that far? I've seen some people say that the psilocybin starts a gradual reduction in potency after the veil breaks.

*Pics for reference

Unless I'm making prints, I don't like to let them open that far.  They look better and dry/store more efficiently when they are in a less expanded form before dehydrating.

Oddly enough I saw a thread the other day where a TC said harvesting after the veil breaks isn’t the worse thing as it doesn’t affect potency with there still being some time for the mushroom to grow. Perhaps that’s strain dependent/personal preference. Obviously harvesting before they dump their load is nicer though.

This is true. Preference to the veil breaking or the cap opening up and when you harvest is all up to the grower.

I'm always late to harvest and have wide flattened caps. Sometimes you cut the cap off to lay it flat to dry. That does take up a lot more space on the racks.
