I pick everything off after every flush. I don't want to risk little pins rotting and getting contaminated.

im doing cakes. So far, ive been picking off all the pins after the 1st flush, washing off the verm and everything and then dunking. Should i leave those pins to flush again and then dunk? I hate picking off all those babies and im worried that im killing the second flush and what i think is the second flush is really the third to the mycelium. I know this question has probably been answered a thousand times but i need to get my post count up, and so far every question i have had i have found in a search, so here goes.




Are they aborts? Or pins?

i pick em as they mature. if there is a window for me to dunk,(little to none fruits on the cake/casing) i do so, but if there is still fruits maturing i leave them alone.

Pins.




LOL, I know that's what he said. I'm just trying to make sure and clarify.

Have you seen what he's picking off his cakes? Maybe they're boogers. :borfase:

Actually, both. (Pins and aborts, not boogers.) Unless it's a big abort, i don't mess with picking it off. I also thought about doing what mange does and only dunking if it feels light (dry). Maybe next batch if i remember.

This has all been covered many times before.  You should NEVER pick non-aborts.  It's extremely common for the fruits for the first two or three flushes to be set at the time of first flush, where they remain dormant until their time comes.

You should dunk and roll prior to first flush, and then dunk only after first flush(no roll), and as said above, never pick pins that are not black.

In addition, it's a total myth that aborts contaminate.  They don't.  Even if they rotted, bacteria isn't a contaminant to fully colonized substrates.
