First grow. Not much but super excited!! ( when to harvest ?)

So this is how my firs grow is going along.
I had my two 1/4 pint cakes in a dumb ass hole-less box with virtualy no FAE for about 8 days, Nothing. Built a better chamber and they took off imediatly. This is about 2 days after they pinned.


This is today. I'm thinking they will be ready to harvest tomorrow? They aren't big at all most are 3-5 inches tall with stalks about 1/4 inch wide.

 Would they perhaps be more potent than typical "big" shrooms. They consolidated about 2 weeks and have been growing at 62-65 degrees. I hear those are factors in potency.

start harvesting the ones with the most stretched veils in about 6 hours and continue harvesting as needed. some of those look really close to being ready, maybe 4 hours away

4 hours away? Geeze, I was going to wait until after work tomorrow ( about 18 hours away)
What happens if I wait too long? Veil tears and spores everywhere?
By your advice I'll harvest the most "ready" ones before I go to bed tonight. Also I wanted to keep them fresh to eat this weekend. Is a refrigerator good enough to keep them fresh for 48-72 hours? or should I begin drying them right away?

Thanks Mushpunx! I follow alot of your threads on here.
I saw some conflicting information here and in some other Teks on whether to roll in verm or not on the first flush. I decided not to. I will for all future cakes and for these after they flush.
Thanks again!

Be careful what you believe when you see conflicts like that. Many people come here just to troll and talk out their ass. There is also a lot of super old and outdated info. Look for info less than five years old and check the source. Usually a quick glance at someones ratings can tell you who is full of shit.

I read that rolling in verm makes it more difficult to spot contams on the cake early one.
That seemed like a legetimate concern to me?
Anyway UPDATE:
All the shrooms are harested. Some were harvested yesterday. Others 8 hours later in the AM. Most caps were already opened. I will record how much is wet and how much is dry. I was silly and forgot to bring my digital scales from home ( I live in a seperate place where where I work). So I bought some new ones of Amazon and they will be here after work.

I guarantee that was some noob talking outta his ass. Disregard that advice. If if it did make it harder to spot a contam, what difference does that make. Its still contamed. It still goes in the trash. Its not like spotting it early is gonna let you save it.

Rating is other user's opinions on that particular persons input, and can reflect if they give good contributions to the Shroomery or not

Yea I know what yall are getting at but just because some people get butt hurt on the pub doesn't mean a person can't grow. Yea they might piss some people off. I'm not challenging anybody or any tc for that fact . Just saying people are dicks. You can always spot a noob from a mile away. I'd say look more to ones post to see is they are a noob or not . I am a noob and not trying to convince anybody that I'm not .

They don't always but I look at them as a starting point. If someone who has ratings that consistently reference good grows or good advice, I would take there opinion over someone whos ratings reference their contributions to the masturbation thread.
Its not a science and might weed out a few good people but, its better than nothing.

Everything PastyWhyte has said on this post has been perfect!
Even if someone is missing one mushroom out of 5 i'll have a look to see if it's from personal arguments or giving bad advice about cultivation, if it's the latter i'll generally disregard what they have to say.
