dehydrator potency loss/harvest time

ok so in an earlier post I learned that I was making a mistake by waiting as long as possible to harvest. I wanted them to get as big as tey were gonna get. Found out they need to be picked right after the veil breaks
I had noticed significant potency loss in my last few flushes
I would put them in my dehydrator and leave until cracker dry - sometimes upwards of 36 hours
I just had a fresh flush reaedy the veils JUST broke I plucked em and put em right in my dehydrator , its not adjustable but i checked the internal temp with a thermometer its asteady 107 degrees
so my question is should I remove after 24 hours or wait and let them cracker dry regardless of time?
I hate potency loss!

That temperature should not do anything to the potency of the mushrooms or at least nothing noticeable.
Unless you are growing isolates, genetic variation can explain a lot of the difference you are seeing.

Also If your eating mushies from your fist, second, third flush the trips will be less intense as
1. your tolerance to psilo goes up real quick
2. your tolerance to that specific mushie may increase as well..

I usually pick mine after the veil breaks but some open so fast that I dont get the chance. Then they get popped in my dehydrator for at least 24 hours until crackered, ground up to powder, and then used in tea. If dehydrators cause any potency loss it is so little that I never noticed.
