*applause* Thank you, Anno. It's experimentors like you who really make this board what it is.
I really look forward to seeing the results of the chromatography. Could you point me at directions for doing this myself?

Whoops, didn't see that you were sending out to a lab. Wish I had access to a resource like that.

Thank you Anno! I'm glad to see someone who still takes our hobby seriously. This thread is long as hell and I just skimmed through it so if I say something already mentioned please excuse my ignorance. I think you will find that it not only has to do with the available precursors in the substrate but each individual substrain's ability to process the available precursors into active chems. Some will be able to convert more than others, obviously. To accurately preform this experiment its gonna take a whole lot of these experiment to come to a final conclusion as to which is best for what substrate... My 2... Keep up the great work FM

I think there is also the question as to whether each substrate is prepared at it's optimum conditions, most notably water content.

I dont think water content will effect psilocibe production, only nutrients right? Im just a noob tho

Hey Anno, Im interested in seeing if spawnmate effects potency. It certainly effects growth rates and size, as I've seen first hand. I will gladly send you some promycel 600 spawnmate , if you would like to include it into your experiment? That would be good info to find out....

It probably wouldn't affect potency, but it would affect colonization time.

cupid said: Here is my idea spelled out more basically, as of now is that if you supplement your substrate with the aforementioned product it will yield faster stronger longer growing substrate. The study I propose (if you understand what HYDROPONICS) is at all is to use a nutrient devoid substrate like marbels or gravel or whatever is cheap and add only water and chemicals to this substrate and grow shrooms for an indefenite length of time, because when ever neutrients runs low you would just add more liquid food and the myc would produce OVER AND OVER, also how could it become infected if there is no solid matter for competing organisms to take hold on and the LIQUID could have a antibiotic in it h2o2 for example. All in all i think my mix is getting pretty close because if i add it to a dying substrate it grows like MAGIC but i cant quite get it to go 100% HYDROPONIC with just water and the mix yet but again im getting close.
please elaborate???

I think you will have an algae problem with your idea; however, I am intrigued and suggest you go through with your experiment. This is also way off the topic of the thread, maybe you want to start a new one?

I would think that it would be interesting to see which substrate had the highest concentration of tryptophan in the first place . Though normally isolated from casein I would think that certain amounts are probably in different substrates .

Yes true, but the whole point of this test is potency right? Heh anyways, have any updates Anno? this is a neat experiment.
OMG did I just say neat?

I am interested in not only potency, but yield as well. Hopefully this will be included... I am sure Anno has taken all necessary precautions to make this a good controlled experiment, and this is the closest thing we will have besides speculation to end the potency debate. The conclusions revealed here will leave no questions in my mind once complete. So, for anyone that wants to criticize the experiment before it is even half finished:

Anno,
I would also like to thank you for performing this substrate evaluation. I am particularly intrigued about your plan to quantitate actives. Please keep updated. Could you assay a couple of aborts while your at the HPLC? Also any fruits grown under stress (low rh, low vs high temp). I mean if you have the time

Anno,
I just thought of something; forgive me if it?s already been stated. Is there any possibility that you can compare the degree of bluing to the potency results? This may help shed light on that old argument also. Perhaps chop the stem in half of a couple mushrooms from each substrate and compare?

These would all be genetically identical. To test for that you would probably want to test both genetically identical accross different substrates, and geneticaly varied on the same substrate.

Update: All jars are colonized, except for amaranth(4/5 colonized) and dung(2/3 colonized).
The fastest were BRF, finch birdseed and grated potato.
As for the yield.... I will try to note the yield also. As good as possible. As I already said, I will combine the mushrooms of the first 2 flushes of each substrate for the test.
I will let the jars colonize for a few more days, and then put them in the fridge, cause I?m leaving for 2-3 weeks. I will case and fruit them when I come back, so we will have fruits at earliest in 1 month.

WHAT!?!? You can't build everybody up like this and just leave without delivering! Just kidding!!! I cannot wait to see the results, even if we have to wait a bit longer than expected.
