How do you make shrooms grow bigger?

My b+ have opened up and I can see spores on some of the caps. They only grew to be about 3-4 inch long? Is it just b/c its b+ and I need different strains or is there something I can do to make them grow taller n thicker? Are they ready to pick now also?

bigger substrate makes for bigger fruits. but in the end smaller substrates grow alot faster.

also bigger substrates have higher chacnes o being contaminated casuing much more loss of colonizing substrate

B+ on average mine have been about 6", but i have had alot of smaller ones.... they taste yummie too. Also had one on a third flush that was almost 12"....but the case only gave me 5 shrooms in that flush.

try spawning your cakes to horse poo. i dont spawn in big tubs just in case i do get trich. the dollar store has great housewares to make smaller case but get big monsters.

My last batch was B+. The tallest mine got were 6-7". The rest were small. B+ is ok but if you want bigger shrooms try different kind of spore.

Optimal conditions, spawn, substrate & casing - will get you shrooms.
Generally - larger substrate - get you LARGER shrooms.
Just my humble opinion - but a 12 quart tray, with a combination of spawn & substrate that totals 8 quarts (like 3 quarts spawn & 5 + quarts of substrate) will get you honking big shrooms.

Spore isn't really gonna make that much of a difference. It's all about the substrate and growth parameters.
If one particular "spore" grew only huge shrooms, why would anyone grow anything else. Genetic make up with cubes isn't gonna make as much of a difference as conditions will.
More nutes and proper conditions will make all the difference

Just for clarification....different spore meaning different mushroom.

Doesnt the genetic makeup of the spores also determin the size and the amount? If you have an isolated strain then you will eaaily get more, or bigger fruits. Size has alot to do with genetics

nice dead thread reserection. Try checking the dates and reading the warning that it gives that this thread is old.
ginitics do play some part, but usually its lack of moisture within the substrate that causes small mushrooms. I have seem some very big mushrooms come from pf cakes.

RR told me that 5% composted chicken manure by volume will increase chances of growing monster fruits.

also, i have found that once you see the mjority of the pins have come up, cut the light back from 12/12 to possibly 8 hrs per day or even less. I have found that from my own experiences, after leaving the light on most of the day, then 12/12 then less (4-8hrs/day) the fruits grow bigger.

Can anybody verify this? Sounds interesting if it works.

it all depends on your grow method, if your making cakes yea your gonna have most likely smaller fruits, but if your doing monotubs then you can expect much larger fruits, it all depends on your method of growing

I do remember a study that a fellow shroomerite did years ago that resulted in the mushies growing bigger, thicker, and faster in the dark. I think that the title of the post was shrooms grow better in the dark... hold on, fuck, searched and searched but I cannot find it. Guess that was not the title. It was a good study, dunno, was posted sometime before '05 if you want to look for it. The results were not a huge difference, but a notable one none the less.
