Title: Fruit bodies VS. Aborts
Post by: Vandal_xx on March 29, 2010, 08:32:03 AM
As this is my first time growing, i'm not too sure how to tell the difference between pins, shrooms and aborts. Any tips from all you super duper shroom sukas? I'll also try to update some pics of my first grow tonight so I can get a little feedback from yous guys. Thanks for all your help. You guys have made this soooooo easy.!

Well its pretty easy in my view.

You have a flush and it starts with pins. While time passes, most pins grow to be mushroom with the aim to spread spores, once the cap opens. If you want to take spores, I suggest you wait a while until you see the spores on the stems of the shrooms.

Aborts are just small pins, which never grow to be mushrooms. So if your other pins have grown to the full while some are still pins, thats the aborts. Just take em off as you would the shrooms. Then dunk&roll and off to the second flush  -_-
