Re: Question about Harvesting

[Dallas Denny]

If they're dropping spores it's definitely time to harvest Art.  The psycoactives are at their highest per gram level just prior to the veil breaking so if you wait you'll have more weight but the potency will decrease.

Thanks DD.  I did harvest most of them, and have started drying them.  I guess this is a learning experience.  I'm not super worried about reduced potency, since I have never done this before and was planning to start with small doses anyway until I find the right dose.  As long as the potency is reasonably consistent across busts I figure I should be OK.  That said, I am going to watch the cakes that are a little behind to see if I can determine the best time to harvest.  I am still not seeing veils on the shrooms that are of reasonable size.  Maybe it's the species I'm using.  I need to check back on that.
