No veil on EQs
    #9131643 - 10/25/08 12:39 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

A foaf is on her first grow with EQs. They are fruiting nicely, but she has a question. None of the mushies have veils at all. I searched to see if there is any good info for her, but the consensus is that is just genetics. How will she know when to harvest? One of them dropped spores so she harvested them from one PF cake with wet weight of 40.2 grams. Any ideas?

Yeah, I'd guess to just look for some purple on the stems to see once they're dropping spores.  Or once the caps are nearly-flat or flat.  If they go past flat things get messy and they don't get any bigger.

If these are cakes or casings from a multispore syringe chances are most of your grow will still have veils, just that the ones that are fruiting right now are that weird veilless variety.

She has three PF cakes harvested as of today, she didn't want to risk the aggravation of getting spores all over the terrarium. All of the mushrooms from that batch are veil-less, so she isn't sure what to think. On a brighter note, she harvested 123 grams wet from just three cakes on the first flush! Not bad imo for a first grow! Should she wait until the caps are flattening? They were harvested with the caps still slightly closed on some and open on others. Thanks for the input everyone!

Sounds good.  There are rumors abound about potency being higher with younger, closed caps.  Whether that is true or not doesn't make much difference, but it is true that your mushrooms don't really grow any more weight once the veils have broken.  Waiting for a day or two longer after the veils have broken to try and get more meat out of them is futile, they just get uglier and messier.

I've read that the smaller mushrooms that are harvested earlier are more potent per gram.. When you wait and let them get as big as possible, it only makes sense that the potency/gram is going down a little..

I think it has to do with more water weight and less psilocybin per gram. Thanks for the input again! Anybody else have any clues about the veil?
