If you use something like hpoo compared to BRF, can you get more potent shrooms.

Potency is ALL ABOUT substrate.
Hell yes H/poo grows WAY more potent shrooms then BRF.

Problem is you can't exactly START with poo, Unless you know how to do myco bags.
If you know BRF then you use that as spawn. Or you can read this and see how to use grain spawn with poo as well as a lot of other useful info. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5078282/an/0/page/0

After reading those post it seems like if i just get the poo all ready. I can mix in a fully colonized cake and let the myc. colonize the poo/straw. if this is right, where does sterilization come in when i mix the poo and cake. also, where do you put the poo/cake to colonize?

You'll generally need more than 1 cake. The rule of thumb is a 1:5 spawn to bulk ratio. The only sterilization required in that process is that of the tool with which you mix the spawn and poo. Or wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap. You let the poo colonize in the casing container from which it will fruit.

let me tell you that all the old-schoolers all used millet because it outclasses all the rest by miles per amount of actual substrate used - it also has the highest content of tryptophans (sp?) although some people doubt their connection to mushroom potency. proofs in the pudding though

I agree with that one. As much as people knock BRF, I remember some VERY good experiences with BRF grown shrooms. BRF can't hold a candle to poo though.
