Happens. Once I ordered a bunch of em only it was summertime in the desert. 3 hours in my mailbox was all it took…so many spores lost…

Tubs are at the 2 week mark today. I am going to let them colonize for at least another 5 days. I like the tubs to be completely covered in micellum and the wet surface should shimmer like diamonds.

Question,
I was playing the game of Life and acquired some PE psilocybins dried. They look good but seem to require more to produce desired effects. Previously had those Psilo-Viben bars and ate 2 (6g bars) but did not trip balls. Do I have a higher natural tolerance or doing something wrong? I am on 18g at moment, have good psychedelic experience with mid level visuals. Finely ground, soaked in lemon first, added to cooled melted chocolate and espresso. World is not liquid yet.

This is a pretty fun mix… synesthesia.

When I was microdosing a lot a couple of years ago I had worked my way up (via tolerance) to 2g per microdose to get the same effect as a 0.4g microdose. Tolerance is real.

18g?? 5 gram of dried cubes is generally considered a “heroic” dose. with 18g you should be approaching the end of the Milky Way…
I don’t have any experience with PE personally, but many seem to say they are the most potent while others say a “cube is a cube”… If I ever try them I plan to approach with caution.
The only “known” strains (aka where I’ve known exactly what I have) I’ve tried are B+ and Golden Teachers which feel very similar to me in effects and dosage.
Tolerance is a thing for sure, when is the last time you consumed any previously? Empty vs full stomach also plays a role IMO. After eating, for me, its a slightly milder but longer experience. Empty stomach = more intense and shorter duration.
Lemon Tek should take that even further (aka even shorter / more intense).
EDIT: If they were not dried and stored properly, that can absolutely lead to a loss in potency.
If you haven’t seen it, below is a link for a dosage calculator on Shroomery. I’ve found it to be pretty reasonably accurate including their “trip level descriptions” (linked on that page).

@Stonedrus , Here’s one of my favorites to put on the big screen with surround sound…

I only microdose, but I’ve gotten carried away with the dose trying to anticipate tolerance before. I always get the exact same visuals every time I overdo it. Visuals are about as far as the trip goes, and they are pretty minor.

Microdosing I tend to stay at 0.1 - 0.2 g. I tried 1g early on for grins and it was really kind of awkward to be honest. Some enhancement of sound and color, but none of that was worth the “body load” on the come up. It was like mostly just the awkward part of the come up without the payoff.
Finding my sweet spots to be very low MD, or at least 2g as a “museum dose” (mild experience, still highly functional. Wouldn’t drive but would be perfectly fine out and about.). 3+ for an evening to explore.

I wish I had an answer for you but I’m new to eating these things. Took them a few times recently but will take more next time for better visuals. Have a good trip!

18 grams holy what the f I’d be out of my mind for a couple days off that dose wow maybe you might have a high tolerance but it’s different for everyone!!

Well put that pretty much sums up anything I was going to say you nailed it. But I’ve found that the PE strain I have going ( ape, aa+, and straight up PE) are by far way stronger than anything else I have grown. Which is not a bad thing yeah!!

On another note maybe some bad bars?? The only way you know what you are eating is if it comes from your own garden right?

Even then there is some variation depending on part of the fruit, from fruit to fruit, etc… That’s why I prefer to grind and make capsules. At least then the playing field gets leveled and everything from that grow is pretty consistent.

I have 2 elbows to play with. Will hopefully have everything running with spores before that’s gone.

I agree with that!!

I made them, 100g finely ground, prepped and blend well. My son took 6g and is tripping balls. He is new to this. Probably just my tolerance.

You are both brave souls. Getting dosing consistently mixed would honestly scare the crap out of me attempting to make edibles from them.
I’m sticking to well measured capsules. 
The good news is the biggest risk is “death by astonishment” as I believe Terence McKenna once said.
EDIT: that may have been in a talk about DMT but still relevant.
