Did I do something wrong? - 1 inch shrooms

Good evening everyone, Can anyone help me finger out what's going on here? I thought I was doing well. clean spawn, quick colonisation, nice pin set, everything was looking set for to produce my first perfect canopy, but they are starting to mature at about 1 inch high.
Ecuador strain. MS to agar to rye grain to coir and verm bulk substrate at a fairly high grain ratio - I think like 2/1 bulk to grain.
I used the exact same tub setup as some golden teachers which worked great. polyfill, intermittent fan not pointing directly at the tub. light cycle was 9 hours on 15 off.
any help is most appreciated. cheers!
How they look right now

And this was the pin set early on

Those are absoultely gorgeous dude and very fkin nice job! I still havent gotten a flush anywhere near that pretty or uniform, you did a really good job. A lot of those still have a little bit til theyre done growing and they can really hit a spurt there at the end. It always surprises me how big they can end up even after the veil has broken. Sometimes theyre just kinda short. Personally I think u did a grade A job here mate.
Like the first pic in my sig, the shoebox on the right, u see those smaller pins in the front? They ended up the same size as the mature ones in the back. They grow a lot in their last few hours of maturing.

Awesome pinset and great looking tub. They may be a little on the short side. I'm gonna vote your substrate is over hydrated and stunting the fruits.

Arr thanks bro. Appreciate the vote of confidence. Yer I've only grown one strain of GT before and when the veil breaks they are usually quite a bit bigger. wasn't sure if I should bother asking this question yet as if they are stunted I doubt I can change it now. I will update the post if I was jumping the gun.
Fingers crossed for a last-minute growth spurt. cheers

With MS, your rolling the dice a bit in terms of genetics and fruit size. Sometimes you'll get short guys, sometimes tall, etc etc.

I did have to change the verm size out. I normally use the fin stuff but had to switch it out for the chunky stuff but I still used the same amount of water. I didn't realise excess water could do this.

A lot of times they’ll start opening caps early and then stretch if you let them mature.. an example.. these started with caps opening really early on and them get really tall, comparatively:

Tub looks good.. any time I grew Ecuador, they were pretty short too

got ya. Think I will let them spore drop then, see what happens. Thank you. do you think It might have anything to do with what tiptrippy said about overhydration? i had to use the big chunky vermiculite so there might have been more water held in the coir.
All good though. I just want to avoid in the future. Thanks all

There definitely truth to over hydration causing small fruits.. ime, they come out paper thin too if there’s way too much water. Here’s over watered GT cakes

Looked cool but dried down to toothpicks
