effected potency?

So let's say I just got done with my first grow and the potency was not there at all.. maybe an 1/8th to get a drunk feeling from Argentina strain.. well after making a print from a monster mushroom and another print I'm curious since this may have already happened.. after making a really dark syringe and inoculating 3, 1/2 pint jars with around 8cc of dark solution.. the jars are pretty much colonized within 2 weeks.. could this ratio of spores with jars affect the potency of this next grow or does it really not matter?

You just got some crappy genetics.
Multispore will always vary in potency.
I would use about 1/4 of that amount of spore solution.

Potency will differ from fruit to fruit when dealing with spores.
Starting with spores is like starting with sperm....there is just no way to tell if your child will be a genius or a dumbass until it is born, and starts talking and fucking shit up.
Well the same thinggoes for spores, there is no way to tell if you are going to get potent or bunk fruits because of the massive genetic lottery.
This is why we isolate single strains on agar....so we can get more predictable results.

If I made a print would these genetics keep carrying out or would this just keep happening with the strain?

Spores are like starting over.
Potency is determined by 2 spores connecting and creating a set of genetics.
No, the potency would not be carried on, because new genetics would be created upon germination of the new spores.
The fruits that you get from the new print would have nothing in common with any of your previous fruits.
It is all a crapshoot.Quote:

Our sponsors, ebay, amazon, asian markets.....
