Mushrooms that are picked small and immature will be more potent by weight than they would be if allowed to fully mature, and that's a fact. As the cells engorge with water, there's no evidence that they increase in potency as well. The 'veil tearing' is just a signpost along the way that indicates a good time to pick. It has nothing in and of itself to do with potency.

RR is absolutely correct here, but, there are other factors you can put in there to increase potency, better substrates, substrates of high quality, better genetics, considering potency is genetic at the least.

I myself do not believe in the veil tearing being the best time to harvest, I let the cap slightly open, and grab them before spores start to show.

Reason being, caps filled with spores, taste link INKY shit, not just shit, like INKY NASTY shit.

so...

IMO while RR is correct, it really doesn't matter, get what weight you can out of them.

it's a mind thing. if people can't appreciate them, the shrooms won't appreciate them either.....sounds weird, but it's true.
