Seeking advise on bulk ratio and fruit size

So my last few grows have been very small tiny little fruits and I've been scratching my head over how did I go from a large fruit harvest cloned and it become tiny thin little guys. Some have said my ratio of 1 to 1 gets you fast colonization but because of the limited bulk amounts there isn't enough water rez to produce big fruits thus why I have smaller ones so I've been told I should do 1 to 3 or even 1 to 4 to give the grain much more water rez to drink up.
I was also told that if I let the bulk colonize fully then wait a few more weeks after full colonization before sending it into fruiting will help out.
Then I was told that sub depth gives you fruit size that I want to aim for 3 to 4 inch thick substrate to get bigger fruits
So what's some good 2018 advice on ratios, sub thickness, etc
My next grow I'm going back to basics just coir verm bucket tek I had the best harvest with that simple is best it seems these days and im gonna try bodhisatta no hole easy AF mono tub tek this time around as well.
I'm also agar'ing the fuck out of my cloned sample to make damn well sure my spawn is clean AF. I personally think i had contam issues but peeps on here said it looked clean and all the other reasons stated above was my problems lol
Any advice is welcomed my last harvests have been small tiny and low in potency and this needs to change asap. Lol I've even pulled out an old spore print to start new agar thinking my clone agar might be messed up somehow.

Depth don't matter much at all as long as its under 5-6" thick. Even half inch thick subs can make big shrooms.
1:1 to 1:4 ratios work great for cubes.

I get bigger fruits when my sub is on the thicker side. Maybe 2.5-3" but i think thats just because thicker subs can hold more water. Thin subs dry out quick. But if u keep the moisture right the thickness doesnt matter.
