the secret of huge shrooms:
- using bulk substrate; straw/manure composts
- growing in the proper temperature and humidity range
- continuous water and oxygen supplie

(less primordia = bigger shrooms)IMO

So, the potency of mature vs. young specimens is a subjective issue that nobody will agree on. Ok, I think age does make a difference. And to clarify the reference to what Ryche had to say, unless he?s changed his mind, he has always noted a difference in potency with maturity. He has often stated that there wasn?t a noticable difference between an un-upened veil and one that just opened the day before. But he, like nearly anyone I know, admits that a shroom that has been sitting with an open veil, dropping spores for a week is much less potent by weight than an immature specimen.

Anyway, original post

So what I am saying is that if someone is growing shrooms then as long as they don?t pick the shrooms and keep the cake wet and inject some honey water into it now and again for food you could grow HUGE shrooms



This is not true. Huge shrooms are formed by genetics, food availability, moisture availability, mass of colonized substrate and environmental conditions. The nature of the shroom is not to continue to grow indefinitely after the cap opens. Sometimes they can increase in size noticably, an inch or more. But they won?t double or quadruple in size. In other words, yes if you simply want bigger shrooms, then harvest after the veil has broken.

If you?ve ever grown shrooms before, doubtlessly you have accidentally had a shroom over-mature on you. They just don?t get any bigger once the cap has become plane. And after the cap turns up, potency will be noticably less by nearly everyone. If you are going for size or weight, harvest when the cap is plane, but know that some thing potency will be diminished.

This cap had just barely opened. It might have gotten slightly larger if left for another day.

This shroom is mature, and is as large as it possibly could grow. If it had been left unharvested, the cap would have upturned, but it would not have gotten any larger.
