Emergency BRF cakes harvesting issue! Please and thanks for help in advance

Happy holiday season to all. I woke up today to veils broken on a few shrooms. I have a quick question regarding my first grow and the time to harvest. In the pics below you will see 3 shrooms with the veils just broken, and a number of other shrooms that range from knots, to pins, to small shrooms with veil still on.
I have read that one should harvest all the shrooms at once and remove all the aborts and such. Given the picture below, should I do just that, or should I just harvest the ones with the veils dropped and wait on the others?
I'm excited and nervous, don't wanna fuck up. Thanks for the advice in advance

I think it is optimal for them to all mature at the same time, but this is harder to achieve with MS. Looks like you forgot your pics, but I say pick them as they become ready. I haven't had a problem doing this so far. Maybe somebody more experienced will chime in and correct me.

My bad on the pics. I have edited the post and they are now in there. Thanks for the advice. Yours was my initial inclination but I wanted to hear what others thought as well.

Yea definitely let those fatty pins go longer, if you want more weight.

youll quickly see firsthand if your other immature pins like the new open area and will continue maturing - if they don't like it they will soon turn dark and be slowly eaten by fuzzy mycelium - - its well worth it to let the fungus decide whether its fruits will continue growing or abort
Nice work man - those other pins do look pretty fat n healthy Good luck bro Just n time for new years too

and one more thing......your mature looking fruits could prob almost double in size if left for one more day or so - its your call - veils do sometimes break early on certain kinds of cubes and much more growth can still come before mad spores start falling
I prefer for the first and second flushes to pick before alot of spores drop so my ghetto tubs stay kinda neat n clean - i find sporedusted tub patties don't seem to keep pumping out fruits as easily if they aren't kept spore -free
Just a lil of my 2cents
Great job man!!

if your fruit looks ready to harvest harvest it. if the cap is open or starting to open its ready. You can pick them and the others will keep growing. I dunk my cake and call it an end of a flush when it stops making pins. There will be a few small pins when you harvest your last fruit that the cake won't grow because its dry. Dunk it with these pins on they will be ok and even come out of the bath looking bigger and healthier.
and in my experience spores dropping in your FC don't do shit. Iv had them completely cover a cake and i just rinsed if off while dunking and its fruiting fine now. That whole thing about myc not producing because it feels spores is retarded. Nature would't have evolved that. Its stupid. Thats not a jab at the last guy who posted just a statement in general. by his sig you can tell he knows what he is doing.
Also it looks like you didn't give your caskes the extra week in the jar. Next time use wide mouth jars. Give a week to consolidate. Dunk for 24 hours. and use 2 or 3 more cakes. It looks like your only gonna get like half a gram off that cake. Thats how my first grow was too and it looked just like yours. Now i get like 2-3 grams a cake every flush.
Also move on to casings people hat eon them for no reason

oh for sure!!- i wasn't saying that im a guru - i do my own ghetto tub style bulk trays myself - i was trying to tell the OP that his popped veil fruits may grow quite a bit larger yet without droping tons of spores - which can be a good thing considering yields I totally agree that other lil pins will most likely continue to grow If they don't they will simply stay as is and turn into dark colored aborts ( still better than nada)
= and i was just giving my opinion on keeping the surface clear of dark spore massess with my ghetto "never watered" tek tubs - i do find pins poppin right from sprored areas - but the spores cover lots of knots that otherwise ( of course not 100% of the time) couldve had a perfect environment to fruit on up ( i recently saw some costa ricans that spore out like crazy - and after a nice purpleblack coating covered the surface new knots and pins formed ontop the spored areas=but not as much as was there to begin with)
- i know my setup is different and most here think my set it and forget it tek is crazy - - - -but man i get some quality results - every 15 - 7qt tub i make up at least shoots out about 2 dry z's - - - i cannot complain
Im still suprized by a donated isolated amazon strain i got They cut the veil and continue to rock on for a whole day or two just getting HUGE It seems to take them quite a while to drop spores and i LIKE IT
Pick off the 3 or so big ones and just give the phatty pins a couple days - if no growth is noticed then pick em off too, rehydrate,and wait for flush #2 Keep up the good work and keep us updated
