Why choose the Mexican XL?
The Mexican is the gentlest strain in the GetMagic® range — and in the 2100 ml XL format, you get a massive supply of this light, uplifting mushroom from a single kit. Nearly double the colonised substrate means bigger flushes, more mushrooms per harvest, and enough yield for plenty of sessions.
If Mexican is your preferred strain for its mellow, easy-going character, the XL is exceptional value. The Mexican psilocybe cubensis draws its heritage from the ancient Mesoamerican tradition of sacred mushroom use — the Aztecs called these mushrooms “teonanácatl” (flesh of the gods).
The mushrooms produce light to golden-brown caps (20–55 mm) that flatten as they mature, set on slender, pale stems (40–120 mm) with moderate blue-green bruising. In the XL format, the strain’s fast colonisation and dense cluster pattern result in impressively full flush trays.
The experience is light, uplifting, and energetic: mild visuals, warm euphoria, and a clear-headed headspace. Mexican remains the most beginner-friendly strain in the range — gentle enough for a first experience while still delivering a meaningful, enjoyable session. Because the potency is mild, the XL gives you room to explore dosing without running out.
Growing the Mexican XL
The setup is identical to the 1200 ml kit — same grow bag, same steps. The Mexican is one of the fastest colonisers in the range, so even the larger XL substrate fills quickly. Expect pinning within 7–14 days at 24 °C — often comparable to the standard kit’s speed.
The strain fruits in dense clusters, and the XL’s larger surface area means more clusters per flush. Keep harvesting and soaking — Mexican typically delivers 4–5 generous flushes from the XL before the substrate is spent.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between the 1200 ml and 2100 ml XL kit?
Same strain, same method, bigger box. The XL contains nearly double the colonised substrate, which translates to higher yields (400–800 g vs. 200–400 g), more mushrooms per flush, and typically an extra flush or two. Because Mexican is mild in potency, the XL is especially practical — you’ll use more per session, so the bigger supply makes sense.
What yield can I expect from this 2100 ml XL kit?
The Mexican XL typically produces 400–800 g of fresh mushrooms across multiple flushes. The strain fruits in dense clusters of many medium-sized mushrooms, so harvests look abundant. Actual yield depends on temperature, humidity, and hygiene during the grow.
Is the Mexican XL a good choice for microdosing?
The Mexican’s mild, consistent potency and high yield make it one of the best strains for microdosing. The XL kit produces enough material for months of microdosing when dried and stored properly. Its gentle, clear-headed character translates well to sub-perceptual doses — no surprises, just consistent, mild effects.
