Hey I am posting this outside of my normal growlog in hopes to get more answers. Since this is my first time growing I am not really sure what to expect from here on. Here are some pictures of my mushies. They are doubling in size everyday. They are GT.
Questions: How long until their caps start to open? (estimate) How long until its time to harvest? (estimate) What should I look for as a sign of harvest time/is it bad to wait longer then that/will it cause any problems? What do I do to harvest, just twist off?
Thanks yall and I can’t wait for this harvest!

to harvest:
grab shroom gently at base, twist a little bit and pull up. all there is to it
there caps will probably begin to tear in the next few hours for some of the bigger ones, maybe over night for the smaller ones, its hard to tell

fromt he looks, probably around a day or two, you'll be ready to harvest. letting veils open completely won't harm anything except a little purple mess. No biggie if you are late. No biggie if you are little early either. To harvest, firm grasp at base, twist and pull. Little damage you do to the cake will heal.
Make sure, when you harvest, you clear all the pins also. Dunk/re-double end case before next flush. You have sufficient growth on the roll you did to recase safely.

I've heard that an earlier harvest (before veil tears) provides a more potent mushrooms. But, I haven't experienced it myself, so I can't say either way.
Also, some folks dislike the 'purple mess' of all the spores, which happens pretty quickly after the veils tear. It's up to you really, let them grow and gain some mass, or pull em early and avoid the spores. Of course, if you're gonna print, you wanna wait

Just a Good ol' dunk and roll is all i did. I think the PMP is what is helping my cakes so much.
Awesome idea on getting blazed and watching the veils tear. If they start to break away tonight I'm totally going to do it. I might even video tape it...hmmmm
Ill be trying them out Thursday if all goes well. First experience with homegrown mushies
