When to pick my Penis Envy

I know your supposed to pick it when the veil pops or right before bit I noticed or is envy doesn't have a veil. It kinda just curls the cap. They have only grown halfway up the tub, I kinda wanna get some more growth outta these cuz here is some nice pinsets forming in the middle but since this is MS inoculation maybe there isn't a full even first flush? Which means I can harvest as they grow and the stumps will just revert to mycelium?

I have not cultivated the penis, but from what I have read there will be a point when it will become "wrinkled-ish" under the cap. Frank Horrigan and Notahacker420 have some of the best collections of PE photographs that show physical traits that identify that its time to harvest. I am sure others have great advice as well, and I don't mean to slight them either. Lots of cultivators have great info on the "strain".
I cannot say for sure if yours are "ready" but they sure look it.
As for cutting at the base YES! You are 100% correct. The stumps will revert back in a flush or 2.
Did you case your tub? Because if this is your first flush and you don't have any "Mutant-blobs" you are doing something spectacular! Looks like a great MS grow.
I don't know what your agar situation is, but if you are not already on board with it I highly recommend it.

They will get wrinkly and bulbous under the cap. The green is just bruising as seen through an orange cap, PE often bruises easily.

The bright white spot? Do you have a more clear photo of the possible afflicted area?

one of the PE aspects I like most: there is no hurry to harvest as there is no spore drop ...
like others have said, let them get all wrinkle'y and puff'd up under the caps.
hope you don't have trich.

Yep thats the trich. If its not, its some other green mold....either way, no good.
IF you have any other growing going on, it would be safe to move this away. If it was me, I would pour some table salt on the affected area to slow it down. This should give you enough time to finish out that flush. Discard after harvest. That tub is on its way out.

Why not take a small Tupperware and jam it, face down, into the substrate where the trich is? push it in as far as you can and try to isolate the trich w/o spreading it? It's probably already spread all over ur tub but I'm wondering if this is a good idea.
