potency question
    #6019551 - 09/01/06 05:35 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

i recently grew a batch of shrooms following magash's rye tech exactly. i got the spores from sporesource, i got B+ and puerto ricans. I cased using peat, verm and a small amt of gypsum. after harvest i dried them as usual and gave them out for testing. two kids made tea out of them and one ate a whole eigth. they said that they were not good at all and barely made them trip. they were grown in a martha set up with coolmist 24/7. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas why this would be.

most likely a poor substrain was germinated. Mushroom potency varies from flush to flush, and from mushroom to mushroom. There's no way to 100% guaruntee anything, but the best way to grow is to isolate a substrain you're happy with, clone it with an LC, and use the LC to inoculate each time.

this is usually a substrate issue, but if its not...
sometimes you get contam within the substrate that is not visible to the eye, and it sucks all the substrates nutrients

if one person ate a whole 1/8 without boiling it and nothing happened, something is wrong

Stamets doesnt even know the full reasons for difference in potency(potency by itself for that matter), GL trying tho

I would bet they made the tea wrong. Heat can break down the actives.
