Speeding up fruiting?

TheAlchemist · 08-18-09, 13:29

are there any ways to speed up the fruiting? I always try and time my harvest time for a special occasion (in this case the weekend) but i always over do it lol.

Well they will grow as fast as they want to according to the genetic substrain of the mushroom(s) in question... some grow fast, some slow, it all depends.

Increasing FAE promotes pinning and might help them go faster, although I think it is mostly just up to mother nature.

Good luck.

More FAE and slightly higher temps will speed up the process. But it's best to stick to a schedule that has already been working. Just figure around 7 days from pins to mature fruits.

Mushrooms don't need light to grow (not photosynthetic), light just tells then which way to grow (up).

You could try exposing them to more light, it does promote pinning; it couldn't hurt.
