This is one of the major decisions for farmers; seed early (small shells) or harvest early (thin layers) to initiate cashflows. Easy for me to say but not sure i'd recommend either path. To my mind, in an ideal world, bigger shell for first seeding, thus resulting in bigger pearls. With all new clients of mine, when asked, i offer the advice....always focus on larger size and better quality. Again, easy for me to say.
