Some strains just do that. It's not such a bad characteristic. There's no damage to the substrate from picking, and they're usually at about the right time to pick anyway.

This isn't the cause of falling off, but with the long stem and very small cap shown above, it looks as though you need better air exchange. High CO2 levels will cause that.

ok, they dont reach for light like MJ does do they? cuz my flouro is about 4 ft above them, and it seems like they are stretching and bending for it.

any suggestions on better FAE, i did the shotgun FC with about 4" of perlite. i remove the lid several times daily to mist.

mine did that when i did cakes with high co2 levels,

and once they did it after i "aerosol bleached" the walls in my room, with them in the FC, they blued at the base then fell off the cakes next day... pretty weird.

at least they were near plucking. but like RR said, it made it simple and didnt make a mess like picking sometimes can, i tried to pick off an abort and damn near lifted the cake.

look how narrow the stem is where it came off the cake!

If your fresh air supply is good, then it's just strain related. Your last picture is the perfect time to pick, so they're doing your work for you.

awesome!

yeah so far its just that cake. im thinkin that one might have been the GT, it pinned first, and the caps are a noticably lighter color than the caps on any of the other ones, and out of the 7 cakes only 1 was a GT, 2 were Koh Samui, i think theyre my two that have dark caps, and the 3 left are Puerto Ricans, which are still just pins

how, if there is constantly different size mushrooms growing at different times on any given cake, do i know that the flush is over and its time to dunk? and how do i dunk a cake that has rolled vermiculite all over it?
