eh, some shroomery folks are of the opinion
that adding nitrogen boosts potency
but after careful interogation and evaluation
i determined that the argument was specious
and the evidence is lacking.
but any idea is hard to stop
once folks get it in their heads,
like the oven tek and cold shocking.
:lol:

I added some bloodmeal to my last PE grow, and got some insanely potent shrooms.
I also noticed they bruised a real deep blue when drying.
I'm not trying to argue the blueing potency relationship, just something I noticed.
It was also my first attempt at PE, so I can't say that the bloodmeal had anything to do with it.
PE have a reputation for potency, from what I've read.

I think it was southpark that told me to try it.

[Hippie3]

and this is how bogus teks spread,
someone says
' i did this and got that'
and folks draw conclusions that simply
aren't warranted.

[reverend trips]

Fair enough, but I wouldn't feel right not posting results because it isn't proven tek.

[Hippie3]

they are really only 'results' in the scientific sense
if the experiment was controlled
which it was not.
PE enjoys a reputation of high potency
and shrooms do blue, sometimes quite vividly
so really, what facts do you have that show
the bloodmeal actually did anything ?
zip.
as for feeling 'right'
i wouldn't feel 'right'
leading people down a path
that is not a 'proven tek'.
i don't want to waste people's time and money
unless i'm damn sure.

From my own personal trial and error.... if you add to much bloodmeal to your hpoo...it'll roast your myc and well.... all you need is a tiny amount. cant remember off hand but it's like 1/4 cup for 10 gallonz or sumthn.... not sure on that but for my mono tub I used half a teaspoon and these suckerz came out nice and potent!
now Kelp Meal..... 70 Extra minerals will fuck with your mind!... you'll get real some crazy mind benderz if done right! :headbang:

i was thinking of trying a controlled experiment with that bloodmeal theory. a foaf has sum gt an sum bloodmeal can be acquired. all that is needed is sum extra time.

[Hippie3]

the claim is that
it's the nitrogen that boosts potency
so why not try misting a casing
with miracle gro ?

[boots420]

so are you saying that it is the added amount of nitrogen to the casing that provides such results hip?

[Hippie3]

no, i'm not the one saying it at all.
in fact i don't believe it.
but others do argue that way,
not that it gives good flushes
rather they say it boosts potency-
and so i figure
that'd be an easy way
to check it out.

[Bobcat]

I'm not taking any side here.... But I agree with hip about the nitrogen thing. I've been reading about it for a long time and have yet to see scientifically accurate conclusions (and by that I mean replicable, reliable and valid results).

Having said all that, people do get results (albeit unscientifically) with bloodmeal. And we must consider that there is much more than nitrogen in bloodmeal. THere are also vitamins, minerals, proteins and their prereq amino acids, hormones, fats, and so on. So regardless of whether or not nitrogen effects potency, bloodmeal may very well be a valid supplement.

Of course, I don't grow shrooms soooo....... :reb:

[reverend trips]

I can't argue that the nitrogen boosts potency, it was something that was told to me and I gave it a try on a strain I have never grown before.
That strain is potent!
I can't say bloodmeal boosts potency any more than I can say that it added another week to my grow, that, is also characteristic of the strain.
I can't say those things without saying that it caused my fruits not to drop spores, because that too is also characteristic of that strain.
I see where Hip is comming from...
