Cubes poor visuals and a sore tummy

So this is the second time now having 6g hit of Cubensis and both times now have been very very average. I'm an hour in after drinking my tea and am only experiencing light visuals and a quite intense gut ache. It's been a 2 week gap.
This seems to be my limit as I really wouldn't want to see how bad this gut ache is on a higher dose! Both times now so I assume this must be particular to me and how my stomach handles them.
Previous experience, many years ago, from Tassie fresh picked (no idea on the strain hey)were WAY more intense. Like eat 2 or 3 shrooms (we never weighed just measured by number) and you would be tripping balls for the next 4 hours. These cubes, to me, seem like an utter waste of time. Pretty much useless except for some light visuals and a sore tummy!
I'm wondering what other peoples experience with cubes are?
I feel like I'd have to have a 20g tea to compare with whatever strain I was picking in Tassie.. but damned if I don't fear the tummy pain. Completely unphased on the mental side of things
So what's up with this shit? Do cubes give anyone else a really sore tummy? Do others experience weak visuals?
Why am I not tripping balls?

You can definitely experience 'gut rot' after eating mushrooms.
Maybe the fresh stuff you had wasn't cubensis, but a different active mushroom, and the cubes have something in them that you don't find agreeable? Or maybe the person that grew them didn't dry them completely and some slight contamination had chance to occur.
It's not unheard of to get some mush that's a total dud, but if it's happened to you twice you might consider switching sources to get a different batch.
Good luck!

Cheers for response, These were grown by me and were all dehydrated myself and also only done very recently so I don't think they had time to contam even if I did fail to dehydrate completely.
I think I'm just going to stop growing cubes and move onto some Pan Cyans.
I'll write all this down as Cubes being the worst of all the cultivated strains and focus on developing others that are more powerful and do not give me such strong gut pains
This is all relative to me of course. Others may find these awesome, I just think, given the 10-15 times having them over the past ~8 months, that for me this strain is rubbish

my guess is you got a low potency batch, depending on many factors including genetics cubes can be weak or potent and anywhere in between.
cyans are not PF friendly and require one to know how to properly Pasteurize a casing material.

Yep that's no probs. I've got a couple of monotubs going and am just waiting on my mister for the greenhouse, so I should be ok running some trays and/or tubs
The fact that my friends all trip balls on it makes me suspect that the strength must be there but I might just have a bad reaction to them. That said they are all pretty new to shrooms where as I've munched plenty over my years. Only recently started playing with Cubes since cultivating my own though
Good point though. All my cubes have come from the same print so far. I'll try to get my hands on another print and do further testing
