Does sub content affect potency?
    #10624149 - 07/05/09 10:38 AM (15 years, 6 months ago)

Or is it more due to strain itself? Right now i've been using hpoo/coir & coir/verm in bulks and brf/verm in cakes. What if i throw in some flax seeds in  my cake mixture? Or is it more dependent on strain and what the vendor supplied?

its debatable because we have no real measure of potency.

I have a tendency to believe it can to a certain point.

I have heard people complain that nitrogen deficiencies affect potency.

For example the straight coir/verm sub may have had potency issues if this were true. Not sure if verm contains any nitrogen though.

The fats in the flax seeds might screw up the moisture content and go rancid, making your cakes go south.

Long story short - there's really no solid evidence that substrate affects potency.

I've grow the same isolate out on three different subs potency differed but then again potency can differ very much in even the same isolate.
