three hours now, 5 grams of fan dried pc b+.
and im using the puter without any effects whatsoever. there was a very brief moment of "oooh, that looked strange" but then, nothing. at most, i feel slightly tipsy.
yet when i first tried the blue meanies i found maybe 6 months ago...
9 grams fresh had me feeling good. just like now but...tipsy-er?
15 had me just about flying... the effects were strong enough to make me get some spores of PC.
and now... now i think ill start trying to grow pan.cyans rather than wait for them to pop up again. i did get a jar to start populating, it was looking fine for a week or two then one morning...not a sign of myc, anywhere.
PC just seems over rated in my opinion. here i was, under the impression for years that they were THE ONE to get hold of...
not anymore. my native wild ones put em to shame. when i managed to find them.
and yes, ive had a 40 gram fresh one, also with barely any effect, so it isnt my drying technique at fault. they turn blue when bruised, they came from a reputable supplier (hawks) and im seriously DISAPPOINTED!
i waited how long for these to finally fruit?

Potency is a crapshoot if you grow with spores. Sometimes you'll get super potent fruits, and other times it'll be low potency.
Spores are thousands and thousands of different genetics trying to fruit. It's different each grow unless you clone the fruit.

Stopped reading at fan dry to ask if they where dry completely. Cause sometimes fan dried mushrooms weighing 5g put in the dehydrator will yield 3g or abouts. Also if that was not the case you probably got some weak genetics, or if the sinario is like his I first mentioned you probably lost potency through improper drying and preserving.

yep, i myself am inclined to say i got some bad genetics going on...
popped a few more batches up from the same original spore print and still... these are like drinking (lite, alcohol free)beer when i am used to scotch...
im just going to concentrate on my blue meanies now autumns coming round and ive found at least two decent picking areas... hurry up rain and damp and fruiting weather!
