First time grower help :) _ Do I harvest now? * 1
    #28476576 - 09/20/23 03:32 PM (1 year, 3 months ago)

So tried brf for the first time grow, getting mushrooms growing on the cake but this monster is going gand busters compared to the rest.

My question is, I know that I should pick them before the viels break, but this fatty has me confused!

Can someone let me know what it's doing, is that the veil about to break?

Should I harvest it now?

And if I should do I cut it off at the base near the cake or above the fuzz?

This is like the first mushroom I ever grew so apologies if this is dumb questions!



Thanks to anyone that can help me :smile:

Welcome :cheers:
What's it look like now?

It's really personal preference when to pick after a certain point. If you want to take prints, wait till they open fully. You may have to swab a chonker like that.

I personally would let it go longer. It will probably get a good amount larger but it’s also going to suck up the water content in your cake and take away from the other smaller pins that are behind it in growth some.

Nice one thanks, would you recommend cutting it at the base of the the cake or above the fuzz, just seen another pin coming out the fuzz!

I'm leaning to cut above the fuzz and let's the rest of the mushrooms develop to have a better overall yield that let's this massive one such the moisture.

I think I fucked my labels up, had PE and GT...would you say these are GTs?

That guy will prob twist and pull off fairly easy. The fuzz is harmless mycelium. It can be scrapped off after harvest or left as is before dehydrating.

Thanks mate, appreciate the advice.

It's pretty awesome to get the first grow on the way.
