do you HAVE to pick all of them?
Ive been told you remove even the little ones once the caps open on the biggest ones and ocllar detaches, the thing is i got about 25 medium sized oes that looks good just not ready to pick, can i just pick the big ones then let the others grow?

im rather interested in this myself. i feel that i could get a lot more weight out of them if i can leave the small ones to grow up more. i dont have the link on me but i have read somewhere that once you start harvest you have 24 hours to finish.
cant remember why

also the big ones are growing so they bend outside of the kit so if i leave them theyll only drop spores on the surrounding perlite not the grow kit itself....so maybe i dont even have to pick the big ones until the medium/small ones are grown, or at least big enough to pick, the caps dont HAVE to be open, i just think more surface area, more psylocibin?

Wrong. Having a cap open up won't prevent future harvests.

Also wrong. You have to be careful what you read because there's so many new growers without a clue, giving bad advice. Pick whenever you want. You can pick as they mature for the most product, or pick all at once for convenience. RR
