G'day Jeremiah, acording to Allen lowrie the tubers of mature Gigantea get to 3cm, I have a plant that I was told is 10 years old and the tuber is about 2-2.5cm diam from memory.
How are thoes ventricosa seed going by the way?.

Hello Matti, 3 cm. sounds about right for full size. That looks like the same clone I sent you Jeremiah. Is it? When I transplanted the mother tuber last fall, it was about 2cm. wide. It is about five years old. The way I got it so big, in this short time, was by feeding. Almost each leaf (dozens and dozens) gets fed, makes them set really big tubers and then masses of flowers when they wake back up.
