harvesting for maximum AMOUNT (not potency) of actives

I used the search feature and all I could find was a bunch of discussion about potency. I dont really care about potency (as these are purely for personal use, eating more to get the desired effect isnt a problem), I care about getting the maximum amount of total active chemicals that I can spread out in as much mushroom biomass as it takes.
So, not caring about the potency of the individual mushroom but rather about getting the most total psilocybin etc., when is the best time to harvest? Is it still right around the veil breaking, or is it better to wait for maturation?

why would yo not care about potency if they are for personal use, I mean I grow for personal use but I want potency cause who wants to have to eat like 7 grams of shitty mushrooms when you can eat like 2-3 of good mushrooms. it would make your tummy feel icky

i dont know for a fact, but from what i gather (which could be wrong) it will develop "psilocybin etc." to a certain age or size (when the veil breaks) so beyond that point your just growing bigger, not getting anymore "psilocybin etc." development. and like elcharrosays said this isnt something that should even be bothered with, just harvest when the veils break like all the pros advise. but i dont think the burn was necessary.

elcharrosays: You're wrong... The man wants to know how to make as much psilocybin as possible, regardless of the mass.
I have no definitive information but I hear stevia leaf can add to increased production of psilocybin.

how is it retarded to want to make the most drug that I can? A mushroom that is twice as large but 2/3 as potent (psilocybin per weight) still has more psilocybin total than the smaller but more potent mushroom.
people unable to grasp the concept aside, does anyone have real info about this?

I am pretty sure that it is just the strain that dictates shroom size basically. I mean more nutrients in the substrate may cause slightly larger fruits. but leaving them to grow aswell after they break their veil may not work that great cause then they just drop their spores and are pretty much done growing
