Stale air in the bag is a contamination magnet actually. Chances are it will go moldy way faster all suffocated.

You definitely won't have to wait a week until those caps open. Maybe a day.

It’s always best to harvest right before the veil breaks, max potency. After that it starts dropping spores and stop producing psilocybin.

I've heard so many theories on this matter, but it has never been proven that max potency is just before or after veils break or when spores start to drop. At least not that I'm aware of. :shrug:

Interesting... I guess just making sure there is no mess is the most important thing, at least I don't care for sporeloads all over my surface.. makes it harder to keep an eye out for other discoloration.

I think the most convincing theory...IMO...is that potency is established during the pin stage and that once they start to grow into mature fruits the active chemicals are no longer being produced and the fruiting body begins focusing it's energy on reproduction. This would explain why aborts are perceivably more potent it's because the actives have all been produced, but are contained in a pin sized fruiting body....but to my knowledge nothing has been set in stone on that. :shrug:

I guess the only way would be to measure content % in a pin compared to a fully mature one next to it. Which is way beyond me in both knowledge an tools... Need an eccentric old rich dude to start pouring in the money for research... lol
either way though, as long as they're not bunk imo

I probably could experiment, but I’m lazy and honestly it doesn’t matter....I just pick em when look good ya know what I mean?  They’re either potent or they’re not :lol:

AFTER your pin set is in then they need more air.
