Growth rate and potency --- linked?

Just a question:
Is it safe to assume the potency has a direct relation to the growth rate of mushrooms?
I grew B+ strain once, and they grew fast and rapid. They were quite potent mushrooms
I'm growing Ecquadors right now, but they're growing much slower than the B+ strain I had (but the mushrooms still grow to like 5-6 inches)
Would a slow growth rate indicate lower potency?
Another factor I thought of is that B+ is the most common and easy strain. It has probably been perfected by the company I bought the spores from so...
ahh anyways, vodka this vodka that, where did I leave my big red cat?
thanks for any replies, adamj the way

I dont think that there is a correlation between the two.
I had a friend who had a slow ford, I shouldn't conclude that all fords are slow (and they are )
There just seem to be a lot a variables then just the speed of growth.

That link discusses size, not growth rate 
never the less, I think I'm just used to B+ growing, whereas it is easy to grow fast and large mushrooms.

yeah, I guess. sorry, nothing good to add.
sometimes my strains grow at different rates dramatically, but potency is always about the same. Cannot tell any difference.

I've tried a gazillion substrates and strains and species and my conclusion is there's a lot we can do to screw things up, but not a hell of a lot we can do to increase potency. Here's an analogy. Is there a food you can eat that will make you smarter? If so will it make you twice as smart? How about a food that will double your vision? Hearing? How about a food that will make a long distance runner twice as fast? Sorry, but it ain't gonna happen with us, and it ain't gonna happen with mushrooms. Just give them what they want, and let nature do her work. RR
