Hey scatman, is the verm mainly to soak up any excess water that may be on/cook out of the grains?  Also, have you tried out popcorn as a grain substrate? I'm interested in knowing your opinion on it in comparison to rye/wbs, as I use popcorn exclusively and have had great success with it (although, adding verm to the grains before loading up the jars is intriguing, as ive had a jar or two of corn with a puddle of water at the bottom :frown:).  I find the volumetric expansion of popcorn when wet to be pretty significant, although i have never worked with rye so I don't know exactly how it compares.  I think next fall I will definitely try out adding some verm into the grains! def a +5.

actually popcorn and rye both have b-6 and lack in b-12, Rye does have a much higher tryptophan content than popcorn though. According to information I've seen, though, tryptamine HCl rich substrates increase the psilocin content (and reduce the psilocybin content)... But the difference we're talking about here is in tryptophan, which people have experimented with and have had mixed results, as a forum search of tryptophan will reveal. IMO popcorn mushies will knock your socks off just like any other grain. Only subjective side by side comparison can really say, so I guess ill try both out sometime and post my results about it then. And even then... I really think it'd take some mondo expensive lab equipment (mass spectrometer perhaps?) to say what grows more potent shrooms.

Info for the food content found here
search for "rye" and for "corn grain" and select 100g serving to see for yourself. Maybe someone else knows better, and maybe tryptophan does have something to do with potency, i dunno.. but popcorn works, flushes well, and I don't see why so many people knock what is probably the easiest and cheapest grain to obtain.

popcorn is difficult to master getting the moisture content down, but if you read the original popcorn thread (which is very very long and the process progresses as the thread goes on (and on and on and on and on))
Popcorn is 50 cents a pound if you buy 2 lb bags.  You're unfairly comparing it to other grains bought in bulk.  I once purchased 50lb of popcorn for 6$. I don't soak my popcorn.  Load it up and PC for 45 minutes, take it out, strain for 30, load it up again, and PC for another 60-90 minutes (I like 75).  A good soak wouldn't hurt though...  Like I said moisture content is a bitch but I think popcorn is a grain that is unfairly knocked.  You can't account for statistical anomolies such as begginers more likely trying popcorn because it's the easiest to obtain (thus giving a higher failure rate).  Statistics are statistics, they don't lie but the truth is often hidden within them. I'm done with this thread though, it's really a moot point, just can't have people saying that "popcorn doesn't work as well" cause that's BS. I'm sure you'd fight me to the death on this one though scat  :tongue2:
