i know there are a variety of way sto grow mushies. i was wondering, does the method used effect the potency of the shrooms or is it the strain that determines potency?

Strain. Substrain more precisely. RR

Several cultivators have noticed that if you incubate and fruit at lower temperates 70-74(F) with large amounts of fresh-air exchange (to the order of several complete exchanges per hour) you'll experience denser, more potent fruits.

What I noticed, going thru posts is I think most of us on here are shooting for the least amount of time to grow shrooms and so the advice given (86F/76F) are specifically for that purpose, not necessarily the best yield or potency. I guess when you shave off time, other side of the coin is less potency/yield which would make sense...

oh i was asking because i had these golden teachers that didn't work so well for me or others. i cultivated them and shared them with some friends. I've also had other golden teachers other than my own, which produced a weak trip as well. i didn't know if it was the way it was being grown or if the strain just sucks. i'm working on argentinian ones right now.

Its possible u just had an unlucky weak substrain, i had that with a few shrooms from a flush, ate them in the morning and got a mild body buz, then ate the same amount from the same flush at night POTENT.
Apart from those few shrooms, they have all been real potent, I tend to give lots of FAE and fruit at around 71F (can get as low as 60F), my fruits tend to be quite fat.
