What's the general consensus on potency of cubinesis in successive flushes.? I have asked this around and get completely opposite opinions. What is yours ..?

I don't know. Probably similiar. Might depend on culture/clone. Never heard of analysis of this.

I think it has more to do with when you harvest your fruits than anything else.
IME small mushrooms always seem to be more potent

Genetics defines potency, not which flush. This, of course, is true given you provide proper conditions throughout the entire cycle

Ive been curious about this.
Does fungus get stressed kind of like cannabis?
Does stress effect the potency?

IMO potency tapers 3rd flush on for Cubes...

I wonder
Maybe there are certain kinds of stress that impact the potency?
I mean, isn't the Psilocybin just a defense mechanism for the fungus's reproduction cycle?
A. Maybe when its under stress it produces more in an attempt to survive? B. Maybe it produces less because its stressed and lacking something?
With cannabis, a lot of growers drop the humidity in their grow rooms in the last week or two and it causes the plant to pack on more resin.
Then again, as far as I know Psilocybin is produced at the beginning of the reproductive cycle, not the end.

I feel like there are soooo many different things to consider. Did they get enough light? Enough moisture? What substrate did you use? What strain? I personally usually get the most potency in the 2nd flush, that's just me. I'm no expert. Just feel like out of the (less than 20) harvests i've done, 2nd flush, with Burma cubensis is the best as far as potency.

I have some shoe boxes that were spawned three months ago and haven't been able to tell a difference between the 1st flush or the 6th/7th. The only anomaly is one box that has consistently dried to 12.X% of the wet weight instead of ~8.5% like all the others. It caught me out when I made tea with fresh ones using the 8.5% conversion and the dose was 50% stronger than expected. They were from a 3rd or 4th flush IIRC.

Where if you're alone, you know, you either come through it or you die, but in any case you avoid the fuss.'" - Terrence McKenna
