PE stems not turning blue?

After about a year of starting out and trying B+ and GTs PF and easy mono style- both with surprisingly impressive results- I decided to try my hand at PE starting a month ago.
It's been sufficiently unimpressive yield wise. A couple grams of blobs.. (Which I have yet to have time to try- but hear can be very potent.) But starting several days ago- I see actual, not deformed fruits forming from the PE.
So here are two of my first PE fruits.

I cut it open to make sure everything looked ok. Looked ok and nice and pure mushroom white inside. But it stayed that way. I have cut many a "B+/GT" and actually watched it turn blue in seconds.
Here is a picture of a B+ 30 seconds after it was cut in half (It went from white to completely blue on the inside) being held next to that same PE which had been cut in half 5 minutes ago and is still completely white.

Is this unusual? Or any indication of the potency, or lack thereof?

Hmm, I figured. But as far as I can remember, every mush I cut prior to these, literally turned blue in seconds..
yet these remained white even after 12 hours of dehydrating. just wondering if that is common with PE.. or with all cubes and it's weird I never noticed any other B/GT not turning blue instantly.

what theory is that? i didn't pose any theory.
I asked- "is it common for cubes to stay completely white after cutting them in half".

Most of my PE stay unbruised.. itβll probably kick your ass.. these are all split stems (I pull them apart to dry faster) and theyβre probably the most potent cube Iβve ever had

The B+ I had turned blue instantly when it was cut open. This Rusty Whyte im working with now only bruises at the very base of the stem and stays white when cut. Not sure why. I guess they just do what they want.

I only grow PE. Some stay white when they dry, some turn blue.

Also, you harvested a bit early. Most cubes you harvest when the veil breaks but with PE you wait until they get wrinkly on the stem below the cap. You can still see the wrinkling in the dried ones above

when you say you want to wait a little longer to harvest PE- is that because they're not as potent when picked too early? or am I just short changing myself in total end weight? or both? thanks!

Both really. They will continue to grow and increase in potency slightly. Wait until the stem gets gnarly just below the cap. It'll look like an old oak tree.
-------------------- Meddle not in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup Everything I post is a figment of someone's imagination. Maybe yours. Maybe mine. Likely both I see shrooms of blue In tubs of white That will keep me tripping All through the night And I think to myself What a wonderful world

APE always blued angrily for me and more so after drying. On the other hand the PE I'm growing right does't almost blue at all but will knock my socks off every time anyway.
Here's a pic of a blue APE felony.

the base is where all the active ingredients are at. the rest has as much effect as eating a button mushroom.

That doesn't sound right. Plenty of times I have eaten just caps and melted my face off. If that were true, everybody would be either plucking the fruit right at pins or chopping the bottoms off and eating only those. Hell, most of the time, I don't even pluck the fruit, I just cut them at the base so that I don't have to deal with cleaning the coir. These were too pretty for that. They deserved a proper plucking.
