questions about size

I have a couple questions relating to size with 2 different strains/sub-species/etc...
One is Albino A+ and it's currently putting out some monsters, 60g to 90g wet is common and there will be between 8 to 10 fruits of that size per 6qt shoebox. the largest was 116g wet, dried to 13.3!! my question is what do you do with fruits that large? obviously eat them, but how is potency distributed in a fruit that large?
My second question goes to the other extreme; had a Uncut Penis Envy syringe that i've been working with for the past few months. when i first inoculated some jars i only inoculated 3 and saved half the syringe. the fruits that were produced were tiny; maybe 3" - 4" MAX, most were about 2.5". i figured it was genetics and used the remaining syringe. well those are now fruiting and the mushroom gods are laughing in my face, the current UPE are only about 1.5" MAX!!! WTF gives? is that possible to just have gotten 2 really short sets of genetics out of that syringe?
any feedback is appreciated

the big fruits i just split to dry faster and store, i dont' worry about potency it's gonna be fine. the size thing is normally genetics or available moisture, too dry or too wet can get ya tiny fruits
-------------------- It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn
I'm tired do me a favor

Hey Cronicr, thanks for the reply. regarding the big fruits, drying isn't my issue, dosing with one that large is. my normal dose is around 5g dry; this would be 2.5x's that which could be fun!! In your experience, is there any potency loss with larger fruits?
on the pe, i doubt it's moisture. my gh consistently stays between 91 & 96rh. plus both pe and a+ are next to each other in the gh, and get the same amount of humidity. i'm leaning towards genetics.

some large fruits can be strong as fuck some small ones strong as fuck.
the potency per size thing is way overblown. as a fruit body grows it gains slightly more bulk per active components. so yes technically smaller mushrooms are more potent per weight but it's very slight. as they grow they get more actives too, after the veil tears and it starts to drop spores the mushroom will gain some weight but not so much actives hence why people like to harvest before that happens but either way you're drying it out so it hardly matters again. eat half of it if you want to puss out or finish him.
