Difference in MS BRF mushroom potency

I got a very weak batch of shrooms my first flush on my cakes. I ate some second flush last night and they blew my socks off! I was just wondering how often does this happen? I don't wanna waste my time with MS if it is fairly common to get weak shroomies. It upset me very much!

MS is a crapshoot when it comes to potency, size, colonization times, etc.
This is why we isolate on agar, to keep these traits.

No, crapshoot. Total unknown, and unable to assign any likelihood in either direction. And it's not the cake aspect, it's the multispore.

The substrate has nothing to do with the genetics from the spores.
Getting a good potent strain/isolate from spores isn't really that hard. It is however, extremely time consuming, could take months, then u have to test each one, but you should wait a week or two between dosages...lol...thats the kicker.
EDIT: Or have guinea pig friends on stand by for such situations. "Here, eat this!"
