I think I read somewhere that the smaller mushrooms are the more potent ones.
Yeh ya did. I did too. Its in like every PF-Tek guide saying that aborts are more potent if they do not go bad before you pluck them.
Here some info -
Taken from
The Shoomery's PF-Tek Guide -
"Some of the first mushrooms to form are "aborts" (convoluted caps, gnarly stems and stunted growth), and ironically they are primo in magic alkaloids. They are even more powerful in magic than the stately beauties that will soon dominate the cake. The tiny "baby mushroom" aborts are likewise good. After witnessing the growth of the fungus, recognition of these aborts is easy. As long as the aborts are healthy and pure, they are primo. Also, another form of mutants will manifest, blobs of fungus with little or no cap, also good for harvesting. And along with these mutants, appear the perfect specimens, the sporocarps.
It has been reported that Psilocybe cubensis is a "weak" mushroom. PF and others have seen this to be not necessarily so. It all depends on how it is grown, on what medium and how it is harvested and preserved.
The secret to potent mushrooms is in their age when picked. It has been scientifically proven that the small immature specimens are significantly more potent than the larger mature specimens. Over half of the small primordia that first form will abort (cease growing, convolute and deform). Pick these before their heads turn black. A pointed knife blade works well for removing these high potency primodia. These are among the most potent. The abortive mushrooms are also high potency. Harvest them when they are young and before their heads turn black. When the fruitbodies are normal, harvest them before the veil under the cap breaks. The mushrooms will be smaller and their heads will be roundish. It is important to note that the mushroom cakes pictured in this book are all mostly well matured. While these mature specimens are beautiful and perfect, they are not as potent as the diminutive specimens. The mature specimens are good for spore collecting and showcasing but are weak in psychedelic potency."
Think that helps a little.
EDIT: Forgot the whole reason for posting.
Nice looking 2nd flush you got there. Have you or did you do the Dunk & Roll Method or have you been doing some other method? Still gott get myself to order spores then I will be forced to buy the other stuff. Wanting to do it but no motivation besides the hopefully amazing cubesis trip
since but im making a list and ill get out sometime this weekend maybe.
