what are some good tricks to get my shrooms to grow larger, generally regardless of strain. most of my strains sometimes grow kinda small IMO, exept my KSSS which i just got a 8.3g monster. (at least thats a biggin for me.)
so what could i do to increase the size of these beuties???

you'll get quite a biggin with proper watering technique. USE plain water. do not add honey.

some strains grow smaller than others...
so if you post which strains you are talking about...that might help.
size is also due to growing conditions, substrate, depth of substrate and other factors.

yea, i get a shitload of smaller ones, but i like the bigger ones better (they go down easier IMO)
hi roadkill, the strains that i am wondering about are PESA, Acadian Coast, and Koh Samui. The Koh's are donig pretty good, i recently got a monster, but most of the time they can be smaller. The Acadians are always tall, but really skinny for me, and the PESA just seem like shorties, but completely cover the casing. i dont think that i have ever gotten a PESA over 4 inches tall.
i'm not complaining, but just would like some tips on how to make these babies get larger.
i usually spawn to bulk WBS/crackedcorn mix, and case with 1 inch of 50/50+ or coir 60/40. I always use almost exactly 1/2inch of moist verm on the bottom, and make sure to have my crumbled substrate at least 1 inch deep.
...oh yea, my temps stay right about 75' and humidity is around 80%. I fan three times a day.

Isn't 1 inch pretty shallow for substrate, maybe thats why they are small? Im havin the same problems, my shrooms are barely reaching an inch tall, they are so tiny.

my casings are usually about three inches deep when you add the verm layer, and the casing layer to the substrate layer.
do your casings pull away from the sides?

To get big shroom, I would say use straw,dung or a mix of both.Usually that give big shroom.The south american strain can get really big on bulk substrate IMO.
