Hey everyone, this is the first flush of another bag saved using Beefy's fucked up bag rescue.

Why are my dudes all turning upside down before they open their caps???

Also, I got the spores for these back when all of the confusion was going on with two different strains being sold as Natalensis... going by appearance of my cute little mutants, would any of you be able to tell me if these are the cubensis/NSS or the "real" Natalensis?

Yeah they ain't true Natalensis, looks like cubes to me.

There could be several reasons why they are turning their head down, like light, bottom pins or bacteria. Doesn't matter though, looks like a good flush and safe to consume :rockon:

I checked some Ochra photos (1/25), the dark caps should fade fast, but those long stems, environmental condtions, or something else... definitely looks kind of like a cube to me too.

1 day (real time) later...

And... 2 days later... happens fast!

Tiny caps, long lanky stems, hollow/squishy looking stems, growing in all directions at once. To me it seems like mostly healthy fruits that are experincing some stressful factors and so they grew way too fast and didnt have the time to orient their growth or develop the caps normally. I see this sometimes on second and third flushes when I forget to introduce FAE after a dunk and the fruits grow a bit oxygen deprived

It's just a little baccy. There are some mild blotch on the caps (very mild) so I would think it caught a infection post-colonization or just has some stragglers. Fruits growing funny indicates they are stressed.

Probably got another day or two. I like to get them right when the veil breaks. Unless you wanna swab then wait for the cap to open fully

Thanks for the quick reply. A couple of them have already opened fully. I don't plan to collect spores. I'm wondering if I should remove the ones that have opened or just wait?

That’s an albino strain correct?

I wait with my albinos to harvest all at once. Personal preference sort of thing.

Marshmallow soft is the standard for when they are ready. But you can pull em early or later. Just hate grabbing a couple here and there and running the dehydrator for a couple of shrooms constantly.

Yes, it’s an albino strain.

Okay. I’ll wait for the others to grow, then. I was just wondering if spores getting into the substrate could affect the next flush? 😵‍💫

Sorry, I’m pretty inexperienced at growing albinos.

Albinos don’t drop spores so you won’t need to worry about that.

You have to swab them or clone them to keep the genetics since you can’t print them.

I feel stupid 😣
Okay, that explains it. The place where I bought this cake had such terrible instructions. You mentioned a dehydrator—hmm, I don't own one; how do you recommend drying it?

With a dehydrator for 24hoursand store in mason jars with dry packets.

There’s other ways with fans and cardboard. Never tried that myself as in my brain since I put all the work into it I’m using the best way to maintain potency possible.

I've dryed by threading with a string n hanging just don't les mushys touch eachother and a fan in the room /can do the same with paper plates

It's what I do for the most part lol unless there's a big amount I won't run the dehydrator both works dehydrator is definitely more noob friendly though and certain environments might be to humid for air drying possibly idk

Okay, so I need to buy a dehydrator in the future.
I’ve been drying Copelandia Hawaiian on cardboard since they’re so thin and small. But even then, they did stick to the cardboard a bit while drying...

Thanks for the answers 🥹

I’m wondering about this hanging-to-dry method. I wonder if it would work on a drying rack? 😅
