Microdosing Log

Hi all,
Hope it's OK to start a new thread on this subject and use it to log my microdosing experience. Hopefully it can also be of help to others. Feel free to share your experiences with microdosing.
So having grown some Psilocybe cubensis b+ I began microdosing last week. I am planning to microdose every 3rd day depending on how I feel. I haven't been able to do this so far due to other commitments but I should be more consistent from today onward.
Day 1 - Thursday - 20/10/16
Started with a very low dose of 0.15g as it is the first time trying this. Didn't really feel anything noticeable in terms of positive effects. If anything I felt groggy and foggy headed all day but I felt like that before the dose so that may have been why.
Day 2 - Tuesday 25/10/16
Upped the dose to 0.3g this time. Hard to tell if I have noticed any effects. Possibly felt foggy headed again for an hour or so after the dose then this lifted and I possibly felt a little bit stoned/dreamy but it was so subtle it is barely worth noting.
Day 3 - Friday - 28/10/16
Upped the dose to 0.5g and am currently waiting for something to kick in......
Dose taken at 01:30pm
03:30pm - Started to notice that I feel somewhat spaced out.

You aren't supposed to feel it for the traditional microdose.

I'm not expecting to feel anything hugely significant or obvious like you would on a trip but people do usually experience certain subtle changes in how they feel, their mood, mental clarity, better social interaction feeling connected to nature etc.

They experience these changes over weeks of the super small doses. Feel free to continue but if you try to feel a dose that you take and not the result of a micro dosing schedule then you are not truly micro dosing.
To give you an idea of what I mean, I have heard people who do the traditional "micro" dose and they take .1 grams every 3 days.

Ok fair enough. What I am referring to must not be the traditional micro dosing then.
This type microdosing typically between 0.2 - 0.5 grams has been reported to give many people the effects I mentioned. There are many threads on the subject on this site.
Anyway after my third dose today which was 0.5g all I feel is spaced out and vacant. Can't think straight and feel like i'm in a slightly dream like state. Now thinking of it I felt like this on the lower doses as well but to a lesser degree.
Can't really see any point in increasing the dose any further.

The Mycologist is right. If you're feeling something after an individual dose, you took too much for a micro dose. You said you started at .15, so maybe lower it to .10g. and decide a regimen for dosing. Something like every other day for a week or 3 days in a row. After that, go back to normal life and see how you feel. A successful micro dose run should produce imperceptible changes during the dosing schedule that don't become apparent until after you're done. You might even have to do it a few times to begin noticing anything.

I took 0.4g as a microdose lately and it was enough to shake me up and reconsider myself from multiple culturally different perspectives. Thre is no way I would microdose that much for "practical" purposes. Maybe 0.1g.

I'm on a microdose right now. Before dinner I threw down a pill containing about .15g. I'm perfectly normal on the outside but I can feel that little thing going on. Had some tequila and a puff, so I'm feeling good. I look at wood in the coffee table and I can see it's alive. It's nice. The fireplace is snapping away, the cat is licking himself, the wife is doing the dishes. I'm on the couch napping (as I put down ipad).

microdosing seems appealing from a self awareness point of view. If I were to take .3g once a week I wonder if I would be more mentally well balanced.

Good to hear others are microdosing as well.
I'm really not sure whether to carry on doing it or not. Maybe I don't suit this certain strain but my last dose was 0.5g and I just felt foggy and dream like as I explained earlier in the thread. I felt similar on lower doses as well.
Is it possible I may have a less potent batch or is the sort of experience common with microdosing?
I may grow some golden teachers and try dosing with those instead as I have heard good things from others who have micro dosed those.
