Potency Factors?
    #5495969 - 04/09/06 08:58 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I've seen so many posts of people saying "no that doesn't affect potency", or "yeah that'll make your shrooms much less potent", and so on. But when it really comes down to it, does anybody out there have a few set guidelines around what will make your mushrooms more or less potent?

It seems that smaller mushrooms, especially aborts have the highest potency per weight, as do shrooms grown in high nitrogen environments (up to a certain point).

Do things like humidity and heat during the actual grow have any affect... anybody have any ieas on this? (I doubt anybody has actually done this as an expirement)

It's been an experiment by everyone who's grown mushrooms for years actually. The jury is still out. What makes you say high nitrogen makes mushrooms more potent?

I remember reading something just recently, people were talking about growing in poo and how the higher nitrogen content was helping the potency of the mushrooms. Somebody else had asked what would happen if you added extra nitrogen pellets (like in fertilizer), they responded by saying it would kill the mushrooms if there was too much.

as far as i understand, nitrogen is why people use hpoo, and why hpoo is way more potency inducing than brf/verm, right?

According to my information, horse manure has less nitrogen than steer manure. Why would someone suspect nitrogen has a correllation with potency? NPK is for plants, not fungi. I agree horse manure is a great substrate, but why give nitrogen the credit?

Well why in nature then, do you more often find cubes growing on cow shit than horse shit? As far as the actual structure of it, it seems like cubes would prefer the horse shit, but they dont.

Actually, I think it probably has more to do with the cow's digestive system, the spores can germinate inside the cows belly. That's probably why they are more prevalent in cow shit than horse shit. So that solves my own question.

Why is that?

I thught that cow's digestive system was way better than horses, in terms of digesting...Which is why horse poo has undigested pieces of hay and such where as cow poo...is more like waterd down patties :lol:
