Harvesting Advice needed - multispore

Hi guys
So I have a multispore mono (pf tek -> coir & verm) of Z-strain going that is approaching harvest time.
Trouble is that I want all of the fruits to grow to their full potential and due to it being multispore, there are a few fruits that are going to be ready before the others. I know that if I pick the larger fruits it will cause the smaller ones to mature and open early and I don't want that lol.
I'm kinda thinking my only option is to let the larger fruits keep growing and let them sporulate all over the place so that the smaller fruits have time to mature as well.
What are your thoughts?

No it wont, just harvest as they mature

Personally I would pick as they mature, maybe postponing it a bit with the very first ones to appear.

It's also possible to just pluck the caps off the mature ones before they splooge on your tub and then pull the stems off with the rest of them. Don't forget to get a print off of one of them.

This isn't my first grow, It's happened to me before and is a well known fact that once you start harvesting the other fruits mature as a sort of survival mechanism. (may not be true in all cases, but certainly in my 6 grows)

Yh I was thinking about leaving the first ones on for awhile to let the rest catch up a bit. Would taking just the caps have the same effect as harvesting the whole shroom? i.e provoking the rest to mature early (re: point about survival above)

Lol harvesting some does not affect the others. Also no harvesting the caps does not have that affect either.
What probably happened in your other grows is you harvested some and the others had different genetics and were ready at a different size making it SEEM like they matured early. That is not the case tho, when using ms you could have one mushroom mature at 3inches and another one mature at 6.

I wasn't implying that it was your first grow, I was just stating a fact.
