Veil broke.. what now?
    #11917592 - 01/28/10 01:01 PM (14 years, 2 days ago)

Hey so my cubes veils have started to break. Im told to pick them when this happens. However, in peoples sigs i see enormous mushrooms.. and i think that the shrooms are still guna grow, as they were tiny yesterday and now around 3-4 inches high. Do i pick them now, or do i leave them to grow, and if i leave them, is there any risk?

If i pick them, how long can i refrigerate them until they are no good, because i have about 10 mushrooms growing at the moment, but i dont want to make a tea out of 10. And if i get more next week, im going to have to drink a shitload of liquid. Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Only risk is them dropping black spores all over, and it's messy... also, all the goodies are in there now, so them growing bigger is just added water.

you can pick now if you want
if you let them get bigger they just put on water weight
it wont increase the amount of actives in the mushroom
no risk involved but if left too long the will drop spores everywhere

if you want to print them let the caps flatten out before you pick

if stored in a paper bag they could last 3-4 days possibly longer
if stored in the fridge

damn did i say if enough times:lol:

you don't need to pick them now. sometimes the veil tears prematurely and sometimes strains wont have a veil at all.

They will never get any more potent than they are once the veil breaks. The only reason to leave them longer is for printing.

If you're gonna' store them in the fridge, do so in something 'breathable' like a paper bag and they should be good for about 5 or so days. I wouldn't let them go any longer than that.

Keep in mind that cubensis loose potency after long periods of being exposed to air/oxygen. With that being said, you're better off dehydrating and storing them in air tight zip-locs, containers, etc.

Just tmake sure they are CRACKER dry before sealing them up. Any excess moisture in there would be bad.

But, enjoy the freshies while you have them!!

They will not lose any potency while being dehydrated as long as it's quick. If you let them sit out to dry for days on end then yeah, the actives will dissipate.

Dehydrators dry the shrooms within hours and the heat being emitted isn't hi enough to reduce the actives.

This it what I use:



It works great and gets them cracker dry in hours. No potency loss.

you would have to leave your mushrooms out for months or even years to notice any loss in potency. not days.
i dry all of my fruits in front of fans and it takes a week at least.
doesn't affect anything.

i would suspect that your fruits came from pf cakes.
the smaller sized fruits can get pretty dry in a couple days. but those biggins' that you get out of monotubs can take about a week depending on the humidity in your area.
the only way to reduce this time is by cutting the fruit in half or slicing it open. but i don't spend the time to gut each and every fruit.

I usually harvest from bulk spawn....so big fruits....big ones sometimes if put in a bag .,, tend to rehydrate, so I have to fan again....
