Fellas, one more question about this flush. Feeling stoked about this beautiful forest of fungi, but I’m not sure about harvesting them. Lots of veils are breaking/partially open, but there are still clusters of more immature ones as well. Should I just wait for all to fully mature, or go ahead and get harvesting soon? :rockon: Appreciate all the help!


Depends on how many spores you want dumping in there lol. I'd let it go a little longer and probably grab all of them when the first ones start dumping. That's just me though and everyone has a preference.

I appreciate your help! What’s a good way to tell the spores are dumping? Is it mainly visual indicators, or will there be other changes?

You'll start seeing them on the caps and stems.. and probably everywhere else lol. Cubensis can get pretty messy. This is my picking point on average..

Malabar

Enough to get prints but not purple powder coat everything.

At $1.60 is it worth having those spores floating around in my house?

It's a soil dweller and not typically airborne. It came from the sub or more likely casing layer. :wink:

hey everyone, first-time grower and poster here! hoping for some advice/insight/direction.

in the attached images are two different shoeboxes i’ve had in FC for about 3 weeks… these pictures were taken 15 days after seeing the first pin. the pins don’t seem to be growing very much and i’m concerned the surface conditions or environmental factors are playing a role in this. there seem to be quite a few aborts as well, but not certain.

for context, these boxes are in a closet in my bedroom. lids are on the boxes but not clamped down. temperatures have swung cooler around here lately, with outside temps going to about 50F overnight then back up to 80F or so during the day. of course, the temperature is a bit more stable than that in my house, but perhaps worth noting.

they have been getting a 12/12 light cycle. at first, i thought they seemed dry so i was misting them 2x/day, but further research made me think maybe that was too much, so i backed off and they started growing a bit more, but mostly i’ve just seen the boxes throw more pins without any developing beyond maybe an inch tall.

substrate is coir. GT strain. spawned from uncle ben’s tek

i suppose my main questions are these:
1. ⁠does anything seem like it needs to be changed RE: surface conditions and environmental factors based on the images and context described?
2. ⁠is this a normal (as normal as it goes with fungi lol) timeline for going from pin to harvestable fruit?
3. ⁠any other suggestions you may have for me

Can’t really tell in that picture, but is the surface dry? I see the walls are wet, but I can’t really see moisture on the sub. That’s my best guess right now

i did think the surface was drying out too much early on in the grow but got concerned about misting it with the pins present so i backed off of that and tried to retain humidity via misting the lid and lowering fae. is misting the sub from above an acceptable way to provide surface moisture with pins at this stage  or is there a better method?

as for current surface conditions, i do see *some* water droplets when i shine a flashlight (maybe 20 droplets on the whole surface), but not sure if that’s enough moisture. please advise

2nd flush for this M.Elf ziploc - the caps are looking a bit dull/Grey in colour and they're wet to the touch - first flush caps were caramel.

The substrate surface looks dry so I'm confused. I soaked the substrate in water for an hour after harvesting the first flush.

Can anyone help me figure out if it's too dry or too wet?

Check out this thread on surface conditions. Lots of good info in there. I’m assuming it’s a little too dry to continue fruiting. Still fixable though.

I'm prolly wrong, but if we're talking cubensis, 65f to 70f is ideal fruiting temps? For air flow, I wonder if EZ dial tubs tek could also work for shoe boxes? Like rotate each lid by about 5 degrees for some fae?


I have never heard of a shoebox that needed to have holes drilled in it because when the boxes are that small, they naturally leak out tons of moisture because they do not seal flawlessly.
If you have shoeboxes with a really good gasket seal then I would understand, but that doesn't even sound like a shoebox anymore.

I have 4 quarts of oats nearly ready to spawn.There is one straggler who barely shows any colonization while the other three are almost ready. Should I still mix in the straggler when i spawn or leave it out?

Leave it out. Never spawn uncolonized grain. That is just begging for contamination to jump in and take over.

Guys, holy shit. Just harvested almost a kilo wet from my first mono, and it's way too much for my dehydrator. Is there any downside to tossing the extra in the fridge until tomorrow? Or, should i make a big batch of fresh tea with the extra to keep in fridge?
