so my little ones have grown nice and healthy. some are big and ready to pick while others are small and could certainly grow more. should i go ahead and pick the big ones, leaving the smaller ones to grow more. or should i not disturb my bag kit at all?

If you want to print pick them a couple hrs after they open. if you don't want to print them them pick right when the veil breaks.

i usually pick when the veil breaks. but i recently have enjoyed watching them open up a little, and before they drop their spores. ill pick them. make spore prints for fun. or just leave them as big monsters
this shit is hilarious..never watched it all. lol

so when they get to the point before the veil breaks must you babysit? what if they break monday, but you don't pick them until wednesday? is there a link so i could read more on this? my mushies should be ready to pin in the next couple of weeks and i want to be prepared.

Veil break monday + pick wednesday = Big Sporey mess all over the place. I go to work in the morning and if I don't pick the shrooms that look like the veil is about to tear, when I get home there are spores everywhere.

Once the veil breaks it doesnt take long for spores to start dropping, i have noticed spore mess in as little as a few hours after the veil breaking (some strains drop them earlier than others)
I dont mind too much, i clean out my FC every few months , generaly after about the 3rd flush from cakes.
It just happenes sometimes due to being very busy and sometimes miss the ideal time to pick.
No biggie just some lovely purple spores everywhere, theyd o however make the shrooms taste even nastier.
