1. Once something germinates and takes hold of the cake (usually about 4 days but even 14 days sometimes).

2. Cut them to leave future pins alone.

Gnerally theres two times to pick slightly more potent right before the veil breaks and the slightly larger time when fully open which helps for spore prints as well.

You can cut or just pull them off, usually when they are ready they literally almost fall off in some occassions but if not you can just tug them off, i think the cutting them just makes it look neater in my opinion but basically you want to pick them as close to the mycelium as possible and try not to damage the cake.

:whathesaid:if it's a cake, general opinion is that either cutting or twisting and pulling are ok (with a slight lean towards cutting)

but if it's a bulk grow, then the masters say cutting is the best way as it doesn't damage the substrate, which can allow contamination to take a hold.

cut as close to the myc as you can, ad you'll be a happy camper!
