Just wanted to share these big bois and see what the consensus was on how people dry their bigger fruits, do y’all prefer to piece them up for quicker dehydration or just do whatever may be convenient for the situation?


Damn those are some big bois!

I do whatever works really. I will cut the caps off bigger ones sometimes so they're not smushing up in the dehydrator. I put mine on the highest heat setting for like 24 hours or until cracker dry. Don't be concerned about potency lost. Worse comes to worse, eat more. I think they're potent as fuck no matter what, but I have a sensitive mind to psychs.

And sometimes they just start really dropping after 12-24 hrs... Making a very faint first print and then a couple of dark ones.

Your alleni print was of great quality btw. Clean, enough spores, everything you'd like to see on a piece of tinfoil

How quickly can a side pin change direction when exposed to a light source? Let's say a cake was upside down and then I flipped it upside down again so that it's on top now. Is the mycelium smart enough to now try to fruit from the top? Or are fruits coming out in all directions all the time? Like could I have shrooms inside my cakes that don't want to surface, and when conditions get right they'll pop out at that location?

say a sidepin is popping out the side, is the shroom smart enough to turn at a 90 degree angle if the angle is tight and go up towards the light or will it just explode against the wall? I have a few spots that look like exploded shrooms but I've been slacking on full 12 hour cycles and I'm wondering if the shroom got lost and just aborted into the water droplets within the gap of a pulled-back substrate or if maybe these are just coir pieces that got moist.

ummm. My understanding is that light does not trigger pinning and that it has more to do with proper surface condtions. But I am no expert... yet!!

Light has *something* to do with pinning but its really unclear what the function is yet.

To case or not to case? I went through the Natt - Ochra thread and it seemed to be split 50/50. What is a newb to do? I did this Ochra S2B 12-28 and so far am unable to LITFA. LOL Also the water on the surface I think is Mycopiss. I have not misted the surface since it colonized. Thank you all for your help.

In my experience changing the directionality of the light source does change the orientation of the fruits a bit.
On a more mature fruit It’s more or a “lean”, but being a pin though I think you’d get a 90 degree change.Probably just a little wonky on the bottom.
Fuck around and find out.

What my man Thurm said above…leave it alone. I spawned Ochras on December 17th to straight coir at 1:2 ratio with a 1/4” layer of coir on top. My temps in my cult area fluctuate from70-75°F. I started seeing pins about 4 days ago. This is what they look like this morning at 21 days, which is running close to all the other Ochras I’ve cultivated.



Edit: Adding that your grow is 11 days behind mine. I’m gonna bet that if your ambient room temps are close to mine, you’ll see pins in about 4-7 days.

QQ: I want to take spore swabs from these Albino Tex PE6 fruits. I don’t have any experience taking swabs. Since they are albino’s, I can’t really see the spores. How do I know if they already contain enough spores? Is there a way to see it without a microscope? Or can I assume that they are ready just because the caps curl up? I want to start a giveaway, but I’m a bit worried that I’ll be sending swabs without spores around.

Fresh spores germinate quick.

I would sterilize a batch of swabs, take a bunch from a mushroom or 2, and use one right away to streak plates while the others dry.

That way you'll be able to see viability prior to shipping

Every time you claim to have pins or mushrooms it turns out you don't.

The itch to toy with it will fade once you've gone overboard with the whole thing. Start other grows to occupy your idle hands. Keep the work flow moving so you'll have other boxes colonizing while this one fruits. Assembly line type of procedure, if you're needing to stay busy. I broke the chain of flow with a bad round of grain prep and had 14 spawn jars shit the bed on me, and it really sucks being stuck waiting on one step like that. Wouldn't recommend.

For harvesting, what's the preferred method? Cut or twist 'n pull?

I cut because I dont like all the sub sticking to the base. Some cubes get a big root and pull up a bunch of sub.
