Quinoa

Yet another question today... I've heard excellent reports on using quinoa. Apparently it contains extremely high amounts of tryptophan, which is converted into psylocybin. However, searching for quinoa on here only seems to return one hit, for Alien's tek. Searching elsewhere I've just seen people warning that you have to be careful when cooking it. Has anyone tried using it before? Does it affect potency like some poeple claim?
I was curious about using quinoa along with some off-the-shelf bird seed from walmart (btw, if anyone can make a reccomendation, I'd appreciate it - never used WBS before). I was planning on a 1:3 ratio of quinoa to WBS, and then innocing with an LC. Any advice from people who've tried this?

I used quinoa in the Alien Tek and out of 6 only 2 of my jars made it. But the fault was probably in the recipee as a whole rather than just the quinoa. In my experience with cooking quinoa, it is easy to overcook and get it realy soggy.

Ok, so instead of cooking the quinoa, would I be able to just put it in with the WBS and PC as normal for bird seed? Or do I have to cook it first?
Also, does it seem to affect potency?

Hmmm, ok... so I'll cut down the amount of verm I toss in then too. So it should be fine with just tossing in the mix and PCing with the bird seed. I'll forgo soaking it since it'll probobly help pull some of the excess moisture out of the WBS. Thanks guys

Yeah the alien tek is complete shit for quarts. Coloniezs fast as hell but otherwise it's shitty. The whole tryptophan-> psilocybin is pretty hottlly debated too. A lot of the more informed users here don't think it does much to anything to increase actual potency, and have done countless trials. Of course some say it does make your shroom go boom all the better, but it's really mostly subjective without empirical data.

i have gone over to using half and half quinoa and brown rice with a little bit of brf for consistancy, boiled first like aliens tek, with the spoon or so of brf mixed with the dry verm. tip the soggy quin/br/juice into the dry stuff and gently and with very loose consistancy spoon into jars, tapping the jars smartly down on the worktop to pack down neatly. top with 3/4
