When to pluck your shrooms?

So I am wondering when the best time to pluck your shrooms is. I've heard before the veil breaks and after the veil breaks. What's the most potent time? I've been doing it right after because I find it cool when the cap opens up.

Right before the veil breaks. When the cap opens up it just puts on a little more mass

Most people wait until just after the veil breaks.
I try and let the caps open a bit, but pick before they release spores. Really comes down to personal preference as the whole potency debate has gone in circles for decades.

I just harvested my first cake within the same hour the veils broke, that seems to be easiest way to know they have reached maximum size anyways. Potency wise I've always heard right after the veil breaks is ideal, but like steve said it's never really been proven true or false.

They continue to grow after the veil breaks. You can eek a few more grams out of the flush by allowing them to continue. I have never had an issue with potency, but again this comes down to personal preference.

I see so it's pretty much all preference. I will experiment a little I guess. The only thing I could see is it yeah puts on more mass. Not necessarily more potent but in the long run your getting the same weather it's bigger or smaller at a certain point. Thanks guys!
