Does size really matter? First grow.

Thank you to this community!! I am officially harvesting later this morning. Very happy with my first mono. It was a mini mono of GT. Is the size of the mushroom dependent mostly on genetics? And are the larger mushrooms more potent? Here’s some porn of the tub:

Size of the mushys don't matter potency is all in the genetics. Expect for PE which everyone says is normally higher potency I have PE on agar now cant wait to find out for myself!

All things being equal, mostly yes. Later flushes tend to have fewer, but larger mushrooms.

As a rule, no. Larger mushrooms also tend to be less dense, especially in later flushes. Hollow stems are not unusual. The dry potency-per-weight may not change, but they can seem less potent due to the lower density when consumed fresh with all the extra moisture. That's why I always weigh them fresh and spot check the dry weights periodically to gauge water content. Some dry to 8% of the wet weight and others 12%. That's a 50% dosage variation if you're trying to extrapolate a dry equivalent dose from fresh.

I’d sell mi abuela for 12% dry weight. I’ve had some dry in around 10.2 or .3% but usually it hovers around 8.5-9.5%
Nice first grow man, congrats

8-12% hey? Interesting. From my calculations I’m at about 10%. I’ve wondered about dunking the water content I took out with and see if the precision is at all helpful. Appreciate the compliments, it was an exciting journey.
