Going to be gone for a week, during fruiting
    #8018238 - 02/13/08 03:50 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Right now I have a pint of colonized rye spawning to some coir in 2 gladware containers. I expect them to finish colonizing this weekend. I just realized though that I'll be gone for a week for spring break (mid march), so I'm not sure what to do.

Should I skip casing and throw them in the FC as soon as possible to hopefully get all I can out of them before I leave?
Should I put them in my fridge and just try to keep them in a sort of stasis and put them into the FC when I get back?

Alternatively, I might be able to get a friend to come by my place and fan out the FC and harvest the fruits. The fanning shouldn't be any problem, but I'm worried about drying, since I'd rather not have shrooms sitting out in front of a fan when I'm not here, especially since I'm living in dorms (and I've had cops knocking at my door twice already (someone else was smoking into their shower vent which blows out right in front of my door)) Maybe I should just set up a another rubbermaid loaded with desiccant?

What does the shroomery suggest?

That's fanstastic, but that's not helping me right now, is it?

Just fruit it like normal. With some good luck you'll pick the first flush right before you leave. Set your FC up like RR does with lots of holes in it for air exchange. And hope for a nice juicy 2nd flush when you get back.

Make sure you love the hell out of them with LOTS of misting and fanning when you put them into your FC. Don't drown them, but don't be shy with the misting. And fan as many times as you possible can, at least twice, but 6-8 would be better.

As for drying, make a desiccant chamber. Anything you can close reasonably air tight will work. Put your drying agent on the bottom, screen in between. It takes a while to dry this way, but they will be done by the time you get home.

Turns out my only friend who knows about my grow (only because he showed me the ropes) will still be in town during the break, and agreed to take care of it (I'll take the terrarium over to his place, concealed in a camping trunk) during the break, so I think I'll be fine.

Good luck with that man:rolleyes: I would trust the mushrooms to fend for themselves before I would trust one of my friends to take care of them.
