Thought on low potency and excessive misting
    #24935269 - 01/23/18 01:46 AM (6 years, 11 months ago)

Could misting the fruits from pins to almost ripe cause them to suck in so much extra water that it's causing potency to drop? Ive been trying to figure out why my fruits suddenly seem to be less potent and the only thing I've changed up from my earlier more potent fruiting days was I read on here that the advice to not mist after pins pop up is old advice and it's best to mist all the way through to harvest. So that's what I've been doing and now my potency has dropped.

I guess its possible. If theyre just pumped full of water it COULD be a lower ratio of chemicals per weight. I have noticed open air and cooler temps tend to give me better potency. I think becausr they grow slower. But i honestly have no idea. Everyone says its genetic

I've also read somewhere that the cube strain potency levels don't sing too much. It was some research paper I read on here a few months back where or it night have been just in the interwebs but they did a bunch of testing a bunch of cubes and the very weak ones were only a few tenths of a point lower than the extremely potent ones. Like according to the research cubes even if they grow weak are still gonna work. And this made me think true potency loss isn't based on genetics it's all environmental conditions that effect it.

I grow in a bet small confined space with a way too big A/C unit attached so I can make it almost refrigerator temps in the room lol so what's a good lower temp to fruit them at?

doubtful, as genetics will determine how much actives the mushroom produces.

Wouldn't matter anyway they get dried out after harvesting.

Most noobs potency issues come from improper drying

What part of the drying stage causes potency loss? How do you avoid it? I've read a bunch of different ways of drying, some high heat, some low, some no. I thought it didn't matter.

I'm curious too. I've been under the impression that the actives dont break down till much higher temps than my dehydrator can go and that I should crank the heat to the highest setting (160F°) and get it dry before it oxidises too much. I usually run the dehydrator for like 12hrs with 4 trays. Lately I've been having potency issues too though. My only change was changing from 135f to 160f, I was scared to go all the way for a while.

Misting the right amount is important. Too much the substrate gets water logged. Too little, and the pins abort or dont grow very big.

But potency is mostly a genetic issue in my opinion. Certain strains are more potent than others. Namely the mutants.
