nobody mentioned the obvious?

make your substrate deep enough. that's most of the battle.

mushrooms are roughly 90% water. by worrying ingredients and additives and all this, you're focusing on the 10%. if you want em big, they need plenty of water to draw on. the way to have plenty of water to draw on, is simply to have a lot of properly hydrated substrate. :smile:




:thumbup:

Good genetics or not, your mushrooms will be bigger when there is more substrate available.

My friend got a B+ syringe from TheHawksEye. (A very domesticated strain with potential to produce the fruits you're looking for)

He did WBS spawned to coir + coffee grounds. 35 gallon mono-tub with a  4 1/2 inch substrate.

The biggest fruit he got weighed 225 grams wet and was as long as his forearm to the tip of his fingers and the average fruit was 80 to 100 grams.

Granted, the flushes weren't wall-to-wall shrooms, but the pure massiveness of the shrooms made up for it.

So, what he learned from that experience was to get a syringe with good potential genetics. Go through the correct processes, then put it in a large tub with a deep substrate depth with a well hydrated substrate. Dunk in between flushes to keep it hydrated. Watch the giants grow. Isolate and clone the most giant of the giants (what he did), and then watch those grow more consistently.
