Why choose the Colombian XL?
The Colombian strain is known for producing thick, heavy fruiting bodies — and in the 2100 ml XL format, that density gets amplified. Nearly double the colonised substrate means more surface area for pinning, heavier individual mushrooms, and significantly larger total harvests.
If you want the full Colombian experience with maximum yield, this is the kit to choose. Colombian psilocybe cubensis originates from the tropical pastures and forest edges of Colombia, where it was found growing wild in cattle-grazed fields during the 1970s.
The mushrooms produce robust stems (50–130 mm) and golden-brown to caramel caps (30–70 mm) that deepen in colour as they mature. In the XL kit, the greater nutrient reserve allows the strain’s characteristically dense fruiting bodies to reach their full potential.
The experience is immersive and potent: vivid visuals, emotional clarity, and a grounded, introspective quality. Colombian sits above average in potency — a step up from beginner strains like Mexican while remaining manageable for experienced users at standard doses.
Growing the Colombian XL
The method is identical to the 1200 ml kit — same grow bag, same steps, same temperature. The Colombian’s natural growth pattern produces a mix of large and small mushrooms within the same flush. In the XL format, the large ones tend to get even larger.
Keep the temperature at 24 °C and expect pinning within 10–16 days. The XL kit’s bigger substrate holds more moisture, so you may need slightly less frequent misting than with the standard size.

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), larger individual mushrooms, and typically an extra flush or two. The Colombian’s heavy fruiting bodies benefit especially from the XL format — more substrate means more energy for those thick, dense mushrooms.
What yield can I expect from this 2100 ml XL kit?
The Colombian XL typically produces 400–800 g of fresh mushrooms across multiple flushes. Individual mushrooms tend to be noticeably heavier in the XL kit due to the greater nutrient reserve. Actual yield depends on temperature, humidity, and hygiene during the grow.
Why do my Colombian mushrooms grow in so many different sizes?
This is a defining trait of the Colombian strain — it naturally produces a mix of large and small fruiting bodies within every flush. Some caps can be impressively broad while others stay compact. This happens in both the standard and XL kit and doesn’t affect total yield or potency. Harvest all mushrooms at the same time, regardless of individual size, when the first veils begin to tear.
