Harvest Time?

Hey guys, my veils just started breaking but they are very small. They are almost the size of a bic lighter. I figured it would be better to wait until tonight for harvest, but what do you guys think?

Thanks bro! I was so happy man, I waited about 3 months from inoculation hoping and praying they would show some signs and I woke up one morning and there was just pins EVERYWHERE! Can't wait to see how it all goes, but I'm just proud I got this far either way. First time(: Tried 3-4 years ago when I was 16-17 but i had nowhere to put them so they molded in the jars unfortunately. But things are finally working out!

if the veils tore, then they probably wont get much bigger at all. the caps will open, but thats it. then they will drop spores. so any time from now to right before the spores start to fall is fine for harvest.
i like to try and get mine right as the veils are tearing, unless i am printing them, then i let the caps open a bit first.

I was thinking the same. So is it true that they already have the same alkaloid content that they will have up until maturity and that they are only spreading the same alkaloid content into the larger mass being produced?

Spores have just begun depositing, I can see spores on the veils. Good time for harvest or wait for maturing overnight? The largest fruit is roughly the width of a quarter, I was just thinking about letting them fan out, but I hate for alot of spores to be produced and to taste them when finished. I feel like they may be what upset my stomach so bad. And if the process has switched from alkaloid production to spores, I figure I may as well harvest.

This look about right? The biggest fruit is about the size of a quarter, but I suppose thats good for first flush of Golden Teachers right? I heard they progressively grow in size by flush.

Great cake! A lot of cubes get bigger after the first flush, but they are less numerous. Wonder if anyone knows why?

I was just really hoping to have more cracker dry. How much do you think this flush would weigh dried?

Weigh them wet then move the decimal point over. 10 grams wet 1.0 grams dry roughly. Lol crazy how the pins just pop out of nowhere eh? That's a sexy lookin cake right there. All my first shrooms are about the size of a lighter as well. Hoping for a bigger next flush too!

very nice. i bet if you make sure to take that whole mushroom set off in one clump it will make for a very nice palm shot picture 
and of course enjoy the trip >:)

I'm just going to throw out a guess of 6 dry grams.

mine have usually been around 8-9% of the wet weight. usually a good guess comes from 10% of wet, but mine are usually closer to 9%
