1.22 I let them go too long. I harvested this morning and they were a little bit soggy. I may have over misted a bit but also I think the cake just didn't have enough water to support all the growth as the back side where my mister couldn't reach easily was a bit dryer and bruised and some pins were beginning to abort.

Dunked for a hopeful second flush and cleaned the cake.

Nice cake mate, I just love watching all those nice pics. Before I started cultivating, I was a snob, I didn't even want to try the PF Tek, but now...I am probably going to tattoo "PF Tek" somewhere 🤣

edit. May I ask, are you fruiting in an sgfc or a water tub?

Water tub. One of the shrooms actually dipped in for a drink.

Nice cake. I hope the grow is helping you.
Start a couple more cakes. Take prints. Prepare your Significant Other for the smell of dehydrating mushrooms.

I am stealthily dehydrating them in my room, but I haven't noticed any smell. I do however spray perfumes to hide the weed smell when I vape, have to hide everything from my son. Is there really a smell when drying them?

Depends how many you dry at once, there's a faint smell.

I use an air purifier with a carbon filter for weed but I smoke it so it's a different story, but it helps nicely with dust and moving air around the place too.

I personally love the smell of dehydrating mushrooms. I'm actually going to be using the dehydrate setting (135 f) on my costco air fryer. I've heard a couple of people have cooked their mushrooms a little too much but i ran tests on pinapple and strawberries and they came out really good so I think i'll be safe.

I’d suggest not misting fruits directly.  The mushrooms are the end of the water cycle and need to be able to evaporate off the water that is supplied to them from the substrate.  When you mist them, you plug up the water cycle and stop evaporation but the sub doesn’t stop supplying the fruits with water.  That’s why they get soggy.  Fruits out in the wild can be rained on because they’re in constant open air and the water is quickly evaporated.  If you want to supply the grow with water, do it at the start of the water cycle which is the mycelium.  Bottom watering will be more effective or even just water that top verm casing you have on the top of the cakes at point blank range.

The PE that tiger is growing smells like, what is it? cat piss and feet?, when drying.
Luckily I already had the dehydrator going in the basement the first time I dried PE. I walked down there after a few hours and I was like whaoooo.

Thanks pal.  It’s something that really comes in handy for PE.  PE is great because you can let it go so long due to it not dropping spores everywhere and really get the most out a flush.  But if you don’t match the FAE with the amount of water that the sub has pushed into its mature fruits, early rot will start.  More abortions.  Anyone that’s grown a full canopy of PE will probably note just how empty of water the substrate is.. they usually crumble apart. 

When we talk about balanced passive FAE, that balance is hugely shifted in the late stages of a flush.  Where most of the water in a substrate is stored in the substrate block, therefore, only subjected to the evaporation off the fruiting surface (which is only 1 of 6 sides), once the sub pushes all that water into the fruits to expand them for spore release, all that water is now subjected to evaporating off every area of those fruits surfaces.  Now if you don’t match that with FAE (what happens in nature when the fruits are expanded past the humid ground cover), rot starts immediately.

With PE, you can slow that rotting process down significantly by increasing the FAE to match.  I’ve got pics I can show ya (imagine that :lol:)

This is how I put my lids for my PE/PE vars for the last 12-24 hours


Here’s a clone culture before I started giving extra FAE when they needed it (notice the condensation on the tub walls)


Same culture but after I started giving extra FAE


The color is better.. the fruits that matured first aren’t starting to rot before the stragglers catch up.  The mature fruits in the first pic are starting to bend over and have a pale gray look to them.. that’s a sign rot has started

The reason is so nice besides the overall health of the fruits, the window for harvest is extend A LOT.  I can go to work for 8 hours and come back knowing that if I hadn’t given them that FAE, I’d probably come home to a mooshy mess of a tub because it happens very quickly with restricted FAE at the end

Other examples increased FAE with PE.  You can really see it in the color of the fruits… mature fruits that are still vibrant like their younger siblings



More examples of when I didn’t give more FAE



Notice how gray and wilted those look ^^^

You can do this with any cubensis but keep in mind it also quickens the spore release lol

Sorry for threadjacking, Tiger :lol:  but i figure you might benefit too

hey man, your post was a good read and really cool and inspiring, you and i have some things in common it seems. I got sober in 2020 as well and recently returned to growing mushrooms in earnest after a 15 year hiatus (2008) and rediscovered the magic and how rewarding and delicious this craft can be for those who really have the patience and aspiration, the willingness and perserverance, and the humility and drive to fail and fail again and continue, without falter until the end goal is achieved. In that moment I feel myself and my purpose more deeply than any other moment, because I know I have created something truly beautiful with this grey matter and opposable thumbs nature gave me. thanks for sharing and i hope to run into you again soon!
