Seeking advice on how to approach tub after first flush
    #28756526 - 04/30/24 03:49 PM (1 month, 25 days ago)

I was hoping to get some advice on how best to approach my tub as it currently is after my first big harvest.

My expectation was somewhat that after my first big harvest on Friday, I would rehydrate my substrate, and it would more or less not do much of anything for several days until a second flush would come in mostly all together. Instead, I have several itty bitty guys with cap wide open, a few that look like long-term growers, and a bunch of ones that are just popping up over the casing.

My inclination is to pull the ones that have their caps fully open and look small and weak in general. I'd also pull any that seem to be aborts. But is it normal practice whatsoever to go in there and start pulling stuff a little at a time? I'm not sure what else to do other than really just let the whole thing go until there seems to be a complete flush in there. I'm concerned that I'd end up with aborts rotting in there, or mushrooms getting bigger and losing potency by volume (if that is a real thing). Thanks.

Personally, I would pull all of the larger mushrooms, and only leave a uniform layer of pins.

Agreed. Pick the larger ones when they are ready. At that time, you may want to just clean the surface of all pins and hydrate.

I've had good luck with Beef's Punisher Tek lately.

YMMV. Good luck!

Thanks! I definitely would have used that Punisher Tek as opposed to heavy misting, except the water from my sink is extremely softened water with a lot of salt in it. I believe that ruined my recent grain spawn so I wasn't about to spray it all over my substrate.
