Ok so my first attempt at growing shrooms was pretty much a complete failure. I purchased a variety of spore syringes from wwww.sporeworks.com as i was told that they were a reputable supplier. I went with the golden teachers. This was last summer when i was still living in a house where i couldnt grow indoors under optimal conditions. However, i monitored their temperature, misted about twice a day, took extreme sanitary precautions, so I believe they were essentially getting the same growing environment as an indoor setup. I had about half a dozen brf cakes growing in 5 gallon buckets covered with transparent plastic. They were placed in a shaded location of woods in my backyard. I had several mold problems and lost about half of my cakes. The three survivors gave me a pretty good harvest.I got about two good flushes off of them. By now you are probably asking wtf went wrong rite? well the problem was that the potency was EXTREMELY inconsistent. My friend ate about 25 grams fresh and experienced a mild body high. I ingested the same amount and I am considerably smaller than him and I felt absolutely nothing.About a week later my other cake fruited and my other friend ate 25 grams fresh. He felt nothing. So i got one person high off of fresh shrooms. My second flush was almost as bountiful as my first. I decided to dry these. I used a combination of fan drying and damp-rid to get them cracker dry. I used no heat as i know that this destroys the psilocybin. I was left with 30 grams dry which i split with my friend. We both felt nothing. Now i am living in a house with a room i can grow in and i want to give this thing another shot. I have searched through countless forums trying to figure out what happened. My theories include: A. bad spores
                    B. bad rice flour(insufficient nutrients?)
                    C. too much/too little humidity(stems wer hollow)
                    C. Divine intervention
Please help me figure out wtf went wrong so that i dont make this mistake again and waste more money on all the shit.
