I confess I dropped a spawn jar,just picked out the big pieces of glass,scooped it up,and threw it in a container with some coir on top. I could see sparkles of glass dust on the spawn when I covered it with coir.

The shroomery is definitely a special place on the internet. All the trading and helping and love.
I confess, I have always thought that might be because so many of us 'eat what we grow' if you follow me. So we are more enlightened(?) than your average person.

I always thought it was silly... but "an eighth" is typically the smallest amount purchased, and everyone just says "half eighth"... first time I heard it I was like "1/2 1/8th? Surely you mean a sixteenth?!?"

I've met ppl who thought and 1/8 was how much bud they got in the bag in inches. And then you show them an actual one.

I only know grams. When people talk about 8ths or any measurement relative to that, I don't know what the fuck they are talking about. And I'm American.

All the Americans here make me think partially in imperial. I just finished up a few monotubs, leaving an inch of bulk substrate as a casing on top, and an inch below the holes. It's much easier for me to visualise in inches than 2 or 3 cm at a time. I digress, time to warm up my 21.7661 L Presto.

Do you think you'll go fully metric one day? Like I know we still prefer miles to kms but quarts, gallons and pounds are just a headache

An 1/8th is what most people consider the "standard dose" for mushrooms, i.e., 3.5 grams. It's what I thought the minimum dose for effects were until growing myself. And I've heard it repeated many times since.
What I've come to realize, and will spread to friends whenever appropriate, is that 3.5g is not always 3.5g. As we know, not every set of mushrooms has the same potency, and I don't only mean like PE varieties or Pans or something. Even with domesticated and stable cube varieties, there's variance in potency. And people not involved in the hobby don't know this. I've eaten 1.75g (the dreaded half-eighth) and experienced decent OEV, which I rarely get from 3.5g. If someone used to the standard 8th got a hold of that, I can see them freaking out like they finally ate too much.
And more importantly, 3.5g as a "standard dose" isn't based on anything scientific at all. As if you could slap a label on something so subjective anyway, especially when a million different things go into how your trip will be.
An 1/8th is 1/8th of an ounce. That's it. It's the "standard dose" because it's easier for fools to sell, lol. Don't be afraid to tell your friends this, especially those new to the experience. There's nothing lame about baby steps with psychs. I'd rather have people be underwhelmed at 2g, but more prepared for the next one than someone being overwhelmed and freaked out at 3-4g.
