Improving my potency genetics
    #23800071 - 11/04/16 08:43 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hey so I have a question about potency, because in the past I never had issues with that.

So I used to grow a few years ago, and I always had bomb ass results. The one time I did a 3.5 (of the gnarliest fuckers I could find) I had a 4.5 level trip. Most of the time I stuck to 2-2.5, and I would have very good closed eyed visuals and even some intense open eyed ones.

Now I never considered I was quite lucky at the time with the genetics lottery, I just assumed I had done it right.

My most recent tubs, that started with MS from an unknown variety that a friend gave me (look pretty normal for cubes, veil stays attached to the stem quite often, odds are B+ but who the fuck knows), have been noticeably less potent. I had done only small amounts (1.3 and such) , but after a friend told me they were weak, I did a dose of 2.2 on a pretty empty stomach in a shot of lemon juice. While a body high came quite quickly and powerfully, there was little psychedelia, which was disappointing.

The first two tubs that these came from were from MS to grains, and then one of those jars to other grains. The agar plates I did also were from a kernel of my transfer jar (the one that looked the best) and have since been quite isolated into some nice growing agar plates.

Currently I have quite a few jars readying up for my next tubs from the agar work I've done, MS isolates and one batch I cloned from a cluster of my biggest fruits from tub 2.

Are these new batches likely to be more potent due to cloning and the agar work I've done, selecting the best sections of the mycelium? It would be a shame to continue growing some weaker stuff, but what's done is done.

I'm thinking of next flush of getting some spores and starting new on agar plates, that in theory is a reset of the genetics, correct? Does growth speed and rhyzomorphicness indicate potency strength as well? Finally, does it sound more like I have weak shrooms now based on the dosages or that I had particularly powerful stuff back then?

Thanks!

not necessarily likely to be more potent, no, but you get more consistent results so if you find a potent clone it will always be potent.
1,3 and 2,2g why eat so little if you're disappointed with the effects? eat a cpl handfulls.

Personally I don't like to go balls to the wall on mushrooms anymore so a low to medium potency, fast/aggressive colonizer would be ideal to me. However, i do not think that colonization times correlate into potency. And to judge a particular mushroom for potency would be a tough task unless you had access to equipment for viewing the psilocybin content of each mushroom

Edit: however, if you did have access to such equipment, culling the crop for potent cloning and spores would be alot easier. I'm sure there are other ways to determine pailocybin content of individual mushrooms. But I'm not aware of any. Besides flat out eating the mushroom I don't know how you would tell if it was potent, and if it was, you wouldn't be able to clone because it'd be in your tummy

the reason for these low doses was back in the day when I guess I had a better genetics, that amount (2.5ish) was the perfect amount for the types of trips I wanted.

Could have been that what I use to grow was more potent so it gave me the wrong expectations for certain quantities. Like I said, I became a cat god and then an amoeba on 3.5, completely gone and people do quarters often enough.

Yeah unfortunately I have nothing from back then.

Hopefully the clone samples I took are what I'm looking for. Big mushrooms, in a cluster of at least 5, plus when I cut the stems it was immediately deep blue (I know I know, but I'd rather trust a blue one).

it wouldn't be too far fetched to think your first times shrooming would be more mind opening and magic than the next couple dozen times.
just keep taking clones and look for nice potent ones.
