Humidity affects Potency

Just a quick question does the humidity affect the potency of shrooms like say I had 50%rh and now its 95% would thier be a big difference in potency. Because last grow I got some deformed looking shrooms and they didnt weigh much and didnt make me trip very hard I ate a 1/8 but on the second flush they are heavy and look perfect since I fixed my humidity problem. Also the strain I am working with is equador and I cant seem to get a dark print even though I leave it sitting for 24 hours inside a jar with tyvek am I doing something wrong. Ive tried letting the cap unfold and right after the veil breaks but they all come out faint but still usable it would just be nice to have a darker print though. thanks for all the help out there shroomers

hmm, no I really dont think that has anything to do with it, Its all about what substrate you are using to determine the potancy of ur shroomz. as far as the print goes, let it sit alittle longer, like 38.6 hours....

Unless rH plays a role in potency which ive been left outta the loop on.. rH just effects the speed of the grow... keep rH and temps optimal and everything will just go faster.

The fact is, even with the perfect substrate and the perfect temperature and the perfect terrarium and the perfect love of the most experienced grower, there will be up to a ten-fold difference in actives between individual fruits and from one flush to the next. I have no idea why, but it's a fact. We've all seen it. One batch sends you to Mars, the next sends you to bed early. RR

On many occasions I have triped with friends where we will eat an equal weight yet one person out of the group will have an over powering trip and another may find that he was slightly let down.
This is why I have came to be very fond of mushroom chocolates. By powdering the mushrooms and mixing an entire batch you even out the potency. Plus the chocolates go down really easy...there is a whole lot less sitting around stareing at each other...then stareing at a pile of mushrooms...then stareing back at each other.
(Nothing new, but it might be for some)

Bump your RH as high as possible during the last 24 hours prior to printing. This will help build pressure for a good spore deposit.

Intresting, I've never heard of this before. What's it based on? What pressure are you talking about?
For me I've just always found the biggest difference in getting a good spore deposit was how fully you let your caps mature and how much gas exchange your printing conditions had.

i think he's referring to the bernoulli (sp) drop?

It's a Buller drop - here is a post from Agar on the subject of how he gets those mega-dark prints... Buller Drop Explanation (lest anyone think I actually knew about this before I read it here. )
