Tolerance breaks?

So I've been shrooming about 3 times a month at small doses since mid-April. The first three times I took shrooms were at threshold dosages and I got a good body high and a nice stoned feeling. I enjoyed these effects but I wanted to experience larger doses.
A couple of weeks later, I decided it was time to step it up a notch and take 1.5g. I did this late at night when my parents were asleep and I planned to trip all night and watch Netflix. The effects were a lot stronger than previous doses and I experienced some time dilation and distortions of objects. I even got some mild visuals and patterning when I stared at a blank wall. The effects diminished slowly and I was able to sleep at the end of the comedown. I felt that it was my first real "trip".
Anyway, two weeks later I decided I wanted to dose again. I was feeling brave so I went for just over 2 grams. Surprisingly, the effects were very similar to the threshold dosages I took my first three times. I was even able to ride my bike around town!! It was a good trip, but I got a headache during the comedown and that was a bitch! 
Ok so about 10 days after this experience, I was still a little bit disappointed because I was yet to experience strong visuals. I heard around the forums that many shroomers felt that 3 grams was a good dose to go for to get the "full" experience. I didn't know if tolerance would play a role, but I figured 10 days was enough time between doses. So on a nice sunny afternoon, I weighed out three grams and ate them with some cereal. As I waited for the come up, I noticed the same stoned feeling again within the first hour. The next two hours, it was more of a couchlock feeling with some euphoria mixed in. I was expecting visuals but only got some mild tracers in my peripheral vision. I'm not complaining, as this trip was very enjoyable, and I was even able to hold down a conversation with my dad lol! The only negative thing I experienced was a headache at the comedown just like my previous trip. Is this normal and does it happen when dosing too frequently? 
I was also wondering if you guys take tolerance breaks for like months at a time to reset your brain to have a fuller, psychedelic experience and not just body buzz/euphoric effects if dosing regularly? Maybe I should cut down on the usage, but shrooms are soo tempting!!

I'd wait at least a month in between trips or longer if you want even stronger effects. Maybe try a different setting too because tripping in the same setting repeatedly can lead to a diminished experience. Shrooms can potentially give you a headache lasting into the next day but I don't know what can cause it. I think if you already have a headache or are sick and take shrooms it makes the headache alot worse after a few hours. Also, I think with a lower tolerance you're less likely to get a headache.
I'd suggest waiting at least a month then trying 3 grams and you should have a much stronger trip because after doing it 3 times a month in low doses that should be a big difference

Is this a multispore grow? It's possible your threshold doses were from more potent fruit then your 3 gram doses.

i feel 3 grams i would of had alot more than tracers, hairs growing, wood grains ect would all be alive for a little while, 5G-7G I would like to see stuff start morphing, my dressers last time made one big dresser, they are two little ones that are about 6 inches apart, when looking accross the room, it appeared to be one dresser.
But to your question, take a break!. I had two oz of cubes, had doses from 3g-10g. At first i was getting level 3s off of 3 grams, i had to double the dose if i planned on tripping in the coming days after the first one.
I ate 7G twice, and made a 10G tea, and got level 2+to 3- effects with my tolerance. The first two 7g doses were level 4 trips, with about a week to two weeks inbetween.

Yeah it's multispore, it could be that but idk. Mostly just tolerance i guess.

10 days after a weak dose should have been plenty for full effects.
I think your 1.5g dose was just stronger. With multispore you can grind up an ounce or so, mix it all up, and make tea. Helps mediate the randomness a bit.

I grew a load of Ecuador cubes from a Dutch kit, a big block of mycelium, probably clonal. I dry them and blend them to powder and eat a level teaspoon which ends up being almost exactly 1.5g.
Yet despite all attempt to homogenise the doses, I find the potency varies even if I stick to a strict once-weekly frequency, and I never know when it's going to teach me a harsh lesson or be mellow.
So be warned, you might suddenly get a surprise.
About the headaches - It might be a dietary issue. Certain foods can cause headaches because of tyramine.
If you have a mild issue with tyramine, (perhaps you never knew it), you might find that shrooms can reveal it with a headache.
There's a simple test - leave the shrooms alone for a few days and try eating some blue cheese. If you get a headache for a few hours after that, then tyramine is the culprit, and you can look up which foods to avoid in future and the tripping should be fine.
Cheese, red wine, real ale, aged meats like bacon, steak, hard sausage. But also some other more tricky foods like yeast extracts & soy sauce can be high in it.

Stop tripping so frequently and Stop taking pussy ass doses. Stepping it up a notch at 1.5 grams
That's not even a trip

2.5-3 grams is when it actually becomes a full blown trip IMO. Around that dose it's overall pretty mellow for most people. When it's higher it definitely becomes stronger.

One week is more than enough for me. You can still have amazing visuals off only 1.5g. Just have to close your eyes and focus on what the mushroom wants to show you. Mushrooms are more like visions hallucinatioms, while acid is more visual with eyes open. BUT trust me. Build up your imagination by closing your eyes during the comeup and or peak. Close eyes and meditate. That's how I do shrooms now everytime. I can have extremely intense closed eye visuals off a gram or 2 because shrooms are imagination enhancers. Learn to accept what they want to show you. It get better and better the stronger you build your imagination and learn to observe the visions mushrooms want to show you.
As a noobie, 3 grams should be more than enough still. If you want to focus on getting cool visuals, close your eyes as you start to feel it kick in. I use the mindfold for the first hour or 2 at least of every shroom trip. That's where you get the most intense visuals! Except you won't see them with eyes open! Close eye
