Also, in case you have not noticed.... 90% of this hobby is theory, which would be nearly impossible to prove under any circumstances. Most of it is based on experienced.

Sorry, but 5 grams of small mushrooms is much more potent than 5 grams of this...

this is bs miss information.

i want hard evidence from each person to back their claims up.

90% of my grows consist of mushrooms that weigh close to a quarter oz dry each. these are way potent, no matter which end you eat, after cutting one in half by weight, you'll wish you only cut off 2g's instead  an 8th.

potency is genetic unless you're dealing with an isolated clone, and then potency should be consistent, when dealing with multispore genetics, one shroom teh same size as another, can be the difference in night and day when it comes to potency.

anyhow....

start pasting? do i need to back what i say up?

it's well known that pins are more potent than fully grown mushrooms. As to whether a medium-sized mushroom  is more potent than a large mushroom if both are picked when the veil breaks, that's debatable. I would guess not. It is also generally agreed that little more psilocybin is produced after the veil breaks. So you might as well pick them then because allowing them to grown bigger will effectively reduce potency. (More weight for the same amount of actives = less potent.)

Did you read the post where P.Menace's friend grew a 200+ gram shroom. He ate the whole thing. I'm sure he had a good time, but if someone at 200+ grams of small shrooms, they would trip so fucking hard it would probably suck and they would be freaking out the whole time.

I'm done arguing the point. It's not rocket science.

potency is something ive really been wondering about lately.  I had a single brf cake i broke up and then cased with 50/50 peat verm.  Unlike what i kept as cakes it produced a huge pinset of smaller hollow stemmed shrooms.  Now if I used the trip calculator on here to figure out how much i should eat I would severly overdose.  The other day i went to the beach and ate just a few definetely less than .7 grams dry and tripped out.

So if potency is determined by genetics then no matter the size of the shroom, as long as its fully grown will be similar to the shrooms with the same genetic makeup.  Knowing this wouldnt it be better to have 50 smaller shrooms rather than 10 big ones?

my first grow was all small mushrooms and aborts. I took 3g and that was a very strong trip. Stronger than 5g of normal sized mushrooms. Not scientific proof, sorry.
