B+ Mushrooms Not Potent?
    #24899532 - 01/08/18 09:33 PM (7 years, 9 days ago)

Used a Nesco one setting food dehydrator to dry my first real grow. Does that cause potency loss or is that outdated info? I noticed when using a desiccant on my friends mini two cake grow of GT's they were super potent, but when I used a dehydrator on my B+ bigger grow they seemed pretty weak. We did lemon tek 2.5g each and felt a body high that only lasted 30mins or so. I also had some friends try them and said they were mild..

Could it be genetics or my method of drying?

The food dehydrator is the best way to dry. Spores are luck of the draw. Set and setting are big factors in trips. For two people tho i would say it was just a weak batch

:whathesaid: I have always had some strong B+ from MS, and it most definitely depends where you get them from. Dehydrator is always the best.

I once put my dehydrator over 150F and the potency was quite weak. As soon as I dialed it back for the other flushes, it was incredibly strong.

Ideally you want your dehydrator at 160-170. 150+ heat didn't do anything to your shrooms. You can deep fat fry them.

160+ denatures enzymes. So if potentially locks in potency anyway. Besides drying faster is better

Perhaps. Just me and my previous roommates noticed quite a potency difference between flushes on one tub in particular. It was really weird, so I just dialed the temp back and figured that was the x factor. Could just be me assuming. Thanks for the input! :hatsoff:

Was the first flush more potent? If so, I assume the second flush was less fruits but bigger? Usually smaller fruits are more potent by default.

Indeed, the fruits were bigger on the second flush. It's good knowing that I can go all the way up on my dehydrator (even though it's pretty dry here).

That's what people say, but it was just really weird. I've never personally had a monotub produce what felt like two different potencies. It was noticeable enough because we took less on the second flush, and tripped way harder and for longer. We were actually all pretty much sweating and having strong visuals as where it was more a mild body high with no visuals from the first flush.

Anyways, it was once upon a time. My B+ have always been solid other than that.

Is that pretty "standard" knowledge because I seem to be getting TONS of shrooms but they don't get big(2-3 inches in length with sporing caps at 1 inch or less) but there are tons 30-65 per cake.

Edit: a bit of an exaggeration on my numbers (previously said 40-100, then I counted)

I don't think so. In my experience, I usually have decent size fruits throughout my flushes. As they go past two flushes, there is usually less, but the boomers are larger in size. Again, just my personal experience and others I have seen on here. I'm sure there's a lot of variables that go into it.

Very great answers. Guess we’ll see what the other batches bring next trip. I’ll continue using my dehydrater now that I know heat isn’t a big potency sucker.

And lol Bod’s avatar is pretty creepy, but comical at the same time :rofl:

One of the draw back of MS grows...it’s all luck of the draw with spores. Possibly had 2 flushes one from one strain and the second from another. :shrug:
