Tiniest of mushrooms! 1

Hey fellow lab geeks!
I have here a very typical monotub grow. I have restarted the project after a few years hiatus so I've been a tad rusty but I'm still using the same equipment and methods I've had plenty of success with in the past, however this come I've come out with a beautiful flush of particularly tiny mushrooms!
It's the first bin of this run and I'm praying this is not a genetic issue because I've got another 60ish jars of this strain to work with...
6 jars of colonized Rye spawned to coir/verm/gypsum, took over 30 days till first pins so a very slow start, possibly due to low temps (low 70s) before I got a heater in there. RH was high inside the bin, misted/fanned regularly. Anyway here's a few pics, I'm just looking for any explanations, hopefully other than genetics, of what I could do to improve the size for my next flushes/tubs.

Is it Puerto Rican by any chance?

I had the same with a South American I was running a while ago. I started from spore again and got normal mushrooms.

I have seen that before when the light is to close to the lid of the tub. They kinda lay over and die. Just something I saw, not claiming that it is the cause.

I just have the light on in the center of the room and the window a few feet from the bin. It's a basement so it doesn't get much light through the window but is that something I should be concerned of?

Overly wet substrate usually does that

I've had golden teacher do that before. Had way too much moisture in my substrate

Substrate is not particularly wet. Just coir/verm/gyp at field capacity. 2nd flush seems to be doing the same, or essentially all aborting. I have the tiniest oz of 2000 mushrooms lol.
Bin #2 appears to be going the same route. How exactly do you determine if it's too wet?

Can anyone tell me how to determine if it's too wet? What should I be looking for?

You know what wet looks like. Pick your tub up learn to judge the weight of it hydrated and dry. Practice and gain experience Poke it with your finger. Learn things

The color of the coir can help too but sometimes it’s just the surface layer.

Well the verdict is they are suuuuper potent! Half gram resulted in some solid visuals and gigglefests.
But the overall output is low and ultra time consuming to pick.
Second flush came up the same and the second bin behind it seems just as bad.
I still don't think the substrate was particularly wet. Same recipe I've used before and I have to squeeze pretty damn hard to get just a few drops out of the mix. But I'll be taking a quart out of my next few bins to compare and report back.
Is there any other conditions which can cause a whole bin of stunted/aborts and slow growth?

Just curious, what's your light source

Were you misting your substrate as it was colonizing?

As it was colonizing I've left it alone completely with holes taped. After fully colonized I misted and fanned daily until pinning.

I have a 13W 2500k CFL and a 23W 6400k CFL in the light in the room on the ceiling. And a window that gets minimal light. (I could probably open that up to get more light in the window)

I've ran a MS Gt syringe to a bunch of agar then to grains and bulk and I've been seeing a lot of these little guys pop up in a few tubs.
I actually don't mind some of these. Take up minimal storage but potent enough to put a smile on your face.

I've had the same thing with a GT tub before. Personally I think they look really cool. Are the other 60 jars multispore?
