veil confusion...

this is my second grow. the first time i was growing Amazonian cubes and the FC didn't have enough humidity so they mushrooms were tiny and the veil broke very early (hours into mushroom growth). this time i'm growing Golden Teachers and the humidity is much better. i'm still not sure about the stages of growth. so i want to know is whats going on with the mushroom at the centre/top of the picture. is the cap separating from the stem? with the first grow the veil would separate at this time, is that happening? i hope its the cap separating from the stem and i'll have to wait a bit longer for the veil to break (hopefully getting a much bigger mushroom).

any advice would be great.

longer if you want spores.

you shouldnt be concerned about potency just eat more mushrooms.
5+ grams of dried cubensis will get you good

I don't see anything wrong with top center. I just harvested off my one of my cakes and had a 28 g 8 inch Golden Teachers. They can get quite large. I had some interesting veil variations so dont be surprised!

i've always wanted 8 icnhes. i know there is nothing wrong with it. its just with my first grow the veil would break as soon as the cap pulled away from the stem. i don't want this to happen this time. i was the cap to move away from the stem, grow for a bit more then the veil break.

I'm having the same problem even though I have 90% humidity. The veil breaks the second the cap moves away from the stem. They look real healthy beyond that. Does anyone know if this screws up it's spore production? Or does it change the potency? I know I've read some places say they're more potent to pick before the veil breaks.

You bumped an old ass thread for a few silly questions but welcome to the shroomery nonetheless.
Veils break when they are ready. It's a sign of a mature fruit, just because it isn't as big as you want it to be doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. It could also be genetics for your veil to breaking on you early.
As far as potency goes I like to pick mine right as the veil is barely starting to tear and make sort of football shapes. With spore production that's another thing that has to do with maturity.
For great spore prints you'll want your cap to be open and perhaps even starting to go beyond the flattened out point.
Hope I helped you out but in the future try to use the search function a bit longer before asking questions. We try to keep this place neat and tidy.
