Later Flushes Produce Bigger Mushrooms

Seems my first use in a monotub produces well but the biggest caps I see have been in 3rd and 4th flushes. Granted the overall weight isn't generally as high but the mushrooms are bigger.
Anyone have an opinion as to why that is? For example, these nine Golden Teachers ended up weighing 21 grams cracker dry on the 3rd flush. Thats 2.33 grams per mushroom.

In my experience bigger overall fruits but less weight than a successful first flush canopy.
Having said that I'd take the big fuckers any day of the week if they weighed out to the same as the combined weight of the first flush. They've got it all going on, ease of harvest and bag appeal.
It's nice snapping up 6-8 ounces of the first flush in a monotub but no so nice when they look like lawn clippings after drying because you got 10,000 skinny bastards.

Totally guessing I think it’s the available nutrients can support a full canopy flush with the majority of formed primordia on the first go round. Second flush you have less pins and less bites so select pins are given the nutes.
The trick is to find genes that give you a heavy haul of medium to large fruits on the first flush.
I still don’t work from a master and will at times get one of those 10000 tiny fruit fist flushes that take for-fucking-ever to harvest.
Good job with the myco work mate.
