Crazy Idea just came to me...

Now, I've been doing a lot of reading on the addition of tryptamine/tryptophan (especially 5-htp) to the substrate of mushrooms to increase potency.
I have a few 100mg 5-htp pills laying around...but my grow is already in progress.
I have 7 jars about 60-70% colonized. (verm/brf/h20)
Now, seeing as how I missed out on adding it the original substrate, I got this crazy little idea...
Would it be possible to add 5-htp to the water when I dunk them after birthing? Or maybe to the verm when I roll them before placing into fc?
Would this affect the myc negatively in anyway?
Tell me how crazy I am...or how cool you think it would be...discuss.

5-HTP is extracted from griffonia simplicifolia seeds. Why not buy the seeds and ground then add to your substrate? Can I see the sources of what you read about 5-htp increasing potency in a growing fruitbody?

right, and I could but why would I when I already have the 5-htp from the seeds...

I think I just may...
It seems that if I put the 5-htp in the water, the cakes would absorb it during the dunk? right?
I just don't wanna hurt/harm my cakes...

Yeah they reported dwarfing and even stalled growth when they administered to much 5htp

A search will reveal hundreds of threads on this subject. Nobody has been able to duplicate Gartz's reported results, which is the first rule of science if one wishes to be taken seriously. I've seen nothing from my studies or experiences which indicates that adding chemicals to substrates affects potency in any way. RR
