What Do With Large Amounts of Low Potency 1
#26622874 - 04/23/20 04:51 PM (3 years, 9 months ago) |

My most recent few harvests have been low potency, so I'm going to start over with different spores or grab a new clone, but that's neither here nor there.
My question is; what do I do with this batch? It's a large amount, several tubs worth. They definitely work, but you have to ingest a much larger dose to get any results.
Needless to say, it's taking up a lot of storage space, and I don't want to give these to friends. Can I just grind them up and make a large amount of tea, then reduce it down to a single mason jar's worth and freeze it?
What have you done in a situation like this?

id dry them all to dust. then put some in caps and see if you feel the same way.

Did you use a dehydrator?
Pretty easy solution tho, figure out how much equals your standard dose, then make a tea. Even if you have to eat 6 grams or something, the tea will make sure your stomach can handle all the chitin

That is my usual procedure with all harvests. I will be testing again tomorrow as my first tests may have been affected by tolerance. Would be nice if my first tests were false.
This is still an interesting subject. I know some genetics just have low potency. What is the usual course of action with low potency + large amount + limited storage space?

Yes they were dehydrated as soon as harvested and ground up then encapsulated.

Its really shocking for a MS grow to be bunk.
You sure you dont have a wild tolerance lol?

its possible even with clones for power to vary flush to flush. ive had first flushes that were worthless, lead to third flushs that were power hazards
grindint the entire crop with all flushes tells you the average raw power value. 000 caps hold about .95g if its absolute flour dry dust.

Nah, my first few grows were pretty decent in terms of potency. 3.5g's to get almost to level 3 on an empty stomach. And this grow wasn't really MS. It's from a clone of my biggest fruit from an MS, then transferred sectors on agar until (mostly) isolated, then fruited. I think it's just bad genetics on that isolate.

This is my usual procedure except I use 00s and test with around 3g.

wait, so you cloned from the ms culture that almost gave you a lvl 3 trip?
or you cloned from a different ms culture. If so, how was the original ms culture potency wise compared to the isolated culture now?

Just eat more mushrooms, potency problem solved.
Usually when people have big variations In percieved potency between flushes I think it's a matter of tolerance. You really gotta wait a month or so to get the full effects again. They can still be very intoxicating, just not as magic

do a lot of people try to clone the biggest fruit? Ive done it, but now id much rather just go for the illest cluster. Took this one cluster off my most recent MS grow that was the entire short length of my mono. Ripped up half the sub trying to get this mfer off, was literally as big as an oyster cluster

Dude! Cluster Luck! (Halo anyone?)
I think people equate large fruits with high potency. Or maybe its for bag appeal. No one wants those midget shrooms

No, my previous grows gave me that trip experience, some tubs were ms, some were isolates. I was just mentioning that to show that I don't have some crazy tolerance.

I didn't realize you could clone a cluster until very recently. I think i just chose the biggest fruit because it was easiest to pull apart and get a sample. Also it looked nice 
Thanks for all the info guys, I'm going to be re-testing this batch tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.

if they are weak increase the amount you consume. I like to dry mine thoroughly, grind'em up, mix all together thoroughly and then dose, after the first dose I make the necessary adjustments up or down. For instance, if I ate 5g dry weight and it was a light experience I would do 7.5g the time and so on. You have to remember that potency literally varies from one mushroom to another, drying and combining them all will allow for more consistent doses.

In terms of long term storage - Does grinding mushrooms into dust and encapsulating reduce potency?
Those pics are delightful - even if weak, they're some beautiful fruits.

My first grow, was MS. They were small as fuck. and matured 10 shrooms/ day for over a week.
but I get BLITZED off 4g.
The LC I made from it. they all pop together. all 2x the size. but it takes 6g to even be worth my time.
I would trade them all for another grow of my tiny shrooms
ps not tolerance. I still have a bag of each. and still get blasted off the first batch.
