[PIC] My 1st PE grow, question...
    #7901262 - 01/19/08 11:33 AM (16 years, 13 days ago)

I have a few PF grows under my belt now and decided to give this strain a shot.. These are 15 x 1/4 pint jars in a 54QT TiT FC. The question is, even though this is just their 3rd day, they look kinda small, granted from now on, they usually grow exponentially large and since it's a weird strain, how do I know when to pick them as I don't know if the caps open the same way.. They look pretty healthy tho, cycled 12/12 w/ 5100K, 60 gal air pump under the perlite 24/7, RH @ 99% and constant 72-75F. I still lightly mist them once every 24 hours.

Nope, not quite. Penis Envy is different -- check out some of monstermitch's posts on PE. You want to wait until the stem gets bulgy below the cap and you can detect some bluing around the gills. Since PE doesn't have much of a veil, per se, the veil breaking is not the right indicator on when to harvest this strain.

See this post in particular:

You aren't going to get huge fruits on cakes. I have a couple trays of PE going right now (cased grain/seed) and they aren't exactly HUGE. Not quite as thick and bulky as the websites selling spores make them out to be -- I think you'll need to try hpoo as a substrate to help in that area.

^ That's better. :smirk:

cO_hush: When it looks like your PE has gotten to the point where the veil would have broken if it were any other strain of cube, I'd keep them growing for another 24 hours or so longer than you normally would.  At this point, the PE I've grown still hasn't really developed much of a strange-looking bulge below the cap, but 24 hours later (or more) it's thickened up and the caps will have opened up a little more, allowing you to see the gills inside.
