First bulk results and questions.

So I just harvested my first attempt at a bulk grow. I ended up with 121 grams dry and I'm pretty happy with the results. My questions are once dry do the shrooms still lose potency from oxygen? Also if I were to grind them down into a powder and make chocolate bars would that effect the potency as well?

Very nice 
Keep them stored in jars or vacuum sealed bags. Not in zip-lock bags. They do degrade from light, oxygen - absorbing moisture and rotting.. Powder in chocolate bars are awesome.

In my experience making chocolate is a great way to give a decent boost to a dose...by powderizing the dried mushrooms you are exponentially increasing surface area and that allows for a much faster release, and a more potent feeling per dose size. It is by far my favorite way of eating mushrooms (in chocolate) aside from fresh straight off the substrate....
As for losing potency...just keep them air tight to be secure....but dried mushrooms will keep potency for a bit.

I'll even go ahead and tell you if you melt a 12.5oz bag of chocolate chips and mix in 15grams of powderized shrooms...mix until evenly distributed (you'll be able to tell) and use an ice cube tray...you'll have 10 1.5g chocolates that will set you right!!

Thanks for the advice. Worth investing g in a a vacuum sealer. Also what's a typical dose for a person I personally don't trip anymore. My gf ate 2 grams and felt good with some visuals but if someone wanted to trip balls is 3.5 good for that?

It's different from person to person. I don't find most cubensis to be super potent. I think maybe 5-6 grams would really get you going...
Penis Envy is a pretty famously potent variety, it's all I've been working with since I got it, because I am a potency man.

Does sunlight/heat actually hurt potency? My buddy and I usually dry ours under sunlight and the potency is pretty good
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have heard heat does but I used a dehydrator and they still are good

Heat doesn't. Exposure to air does or improper drying does. Pretty sure light degrades them so I personally wouldn't set them in the sun...
