Wouldn't you clone as early as possible? First flush pins for the vigorous mycelium. Preferably from a cluster of pins.
I cloned my first pin, and the myc that resulted from teh LC on the BRF agar substitute we're talking about here took right off man. i think it took like 8 days or so to fully colonize a quart jar from knock up to done....

You can pick them as soon as the veil breaks. Or preferably, a couple of hours before.

Just my two cents. I have been getting my shrooms cracker dry and then pulverizing them in my pestle and mortar. Then I buy 00 sized gelatin capsules and make some pills. Each pill is .5 grams, so dosing is super easy.

You can pick them when the cap starts to pull away from the stem. So if the veil hasn't quite broken yet but you know it will that same day you can go ahead and pick it...or wait later until it does...I don't think there's a big difference either way. I just make sure to pick it before it spills spores everywhere.

What I've heard is dunk for about 24 hours after the first flush and then 12 hour dunks for future flushes. I don't put more verm on, if you don't mist your cakes directly the original verm should still be there.

You want to pick them as close to veil break as you can. It's not really that important that you do it at the exact time...just pick'm round the time it happens. WHen you dry them, and all is said and done, the amount of weight you lose or gain will be minimal. Musrooms lose ~90 of their weight when you dry them, so even if your mushroom would put on 1g of weight by letting it go, which won't happen in most cases, you'll be getting an extra whopping .1 grams of dry weight.
I pick mine just after it breaks, or just before. I don't mind not letting them tear, but that's just a personal preference of mine.

Andjew said: No. They would probably start to lose potency (not significantly) after the veil tears as they're exposed to oxygen longer. I do believe that the mushrooms stop to produce alkaloids after the veil tears; something I think I read here.
Yes, you read it in this very thread. After the veil breaks the shrooms only add water weight. The best potency to weight ratio would be just when the veil tears/starts to tear.
After you've picked them you want them cracker dry as soon as you can.
