I've got nice ones I can see through the bottom of my clear tub, but will never get to em without ripping through everything..
I wonder if you could just suspend the cakes in the air with fishing line or something. Let them hang and get full 360 degree fruiting action going on.

I used a big 8 foot tall clear plastic zip up clothing wardrobe thing, put a white plastic shelf inside, and had 5 tubs going... made dmt from scratch too!

Yeah I like the idea of having it on a rack like that then sitting flat on foil. But I don't know maybe that microclimate between the cake and the foil is what made those grow because they seem to be the most vigorous out of them all.

Microclimate super important. I had a humidity controller inside the wardrobe that kept it so humid their was always water droplets on the wardrobe and fog rolling across my tubs
My shit looked like dildos

So I've heard that you should Harvest right before the veil breaks. I don't know if these are fully mature or not but it looks like the veil has broken do I harvest these or do I let them keep going? Also they all seem to be attached to the same body so do I pluck the whole thing off or just the ones that are ready? definitely going to have to pull some aborts off I see all over. I see different pictures of harvests where ones will have more of a round cap with an unbroken veil and then some harvests with big flat wide caps with completely open veils. Kinda confused. Thanks a lot for any input. After seeing the full cycle I'll be able to tell next time.Attachments

Those have more to grow. Don’t even worry about “peak” harvest right now. Watch the mushrooms and learn the life cycle. They should get bigger and the caps should start to open which is when you should see more clearly the process.

Thanks a lot! That's pretty much what I'm going for with this grow is to watch and learn and see the life cycle and talk to people that have done it and learn from them. After realizing pftek wasn't the best option and it being my first time I wasn't expecting anything let alone a large yield. Currently working on putting the monotub together so I can shred my already inoculated cakes to bulk substrate next. Just need a little help knowing when to harvest these, thanks a lot

Yeah I wasn't expecting them to grow that fast I had a couple pins that stalled and I thought they were growing super slow until yesterday morning they were exploding out the bottom. So I realize everything is pretty slow up until fruiting and then blast off!!!
