To pick or not to pick.. (PE6)

By now I would have probably harvested if it were another strain, but with PE6 it is a little confusing to me when to harvest. Today is day 5 after the first signs of pinning. Would anyone suggest that I pick these?.. or give it more time? I usually have trouble deciding with the first flush, it always looks weird in some way.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
here it is..

Also, I used a semi transparent liner this time instead of a thick black one. Ended up with a shit load of "side pins/fruits" on both tubs. This is the one I harvested last night..

Not too sure why it happened, the liner was stuck to the substrate on all sides.

Nobody has any suggestions on when to harvest these beauties? Or why I had so many side pins when using a liner..? I didn't expect no response. Since it is a currently debated topic, I figured it would seem odd to those who believe that liners help prevent side pinning. The only conclusion I can come up with is it was somehow caused by light, and not FAE.
.. Im not really sure.

If the cap is opening then you pick em plain and simple. I dont use liners i like side pins i'm not racist. As for them only being on the side. It could be a moisture factor or a bacterial surface contam

They were not only on top, just about 20% of em were on the sides. I used to not use liners, but now I do. This is the first time ive gotten this many side pinners while using a liner. I also don't mind them that much, just a bit more tricky to pick. I usually remove the entire "block" of substrate to get em all. I ended up waiting til about 11pm to harvest. (called into work)
Thank you for your response.
