I guess tolerance is different backwards, or maybe had bunk cubes?

So a little background before I get to the bulk of my post.
Dec 9 - 3.5 grams dried cubes Dec 15 - 3.75 Dec 21 - 4.25 Dec 28 - 4 grams
So far all of these have been from a batch of albino penis envy, and each time the trips were more or less the same, winter solstice one may have been more intense than the others.
Given this I assumed 6-7 days after for my body prolly only had a mild tolerance, tho even the night of the 28th wasn't that diminished.
Anyway, so my dealer is out of those and he is waiting on his guy to finish growing/drying the next flush. He had 2 ounces of South Africans in the meantime. (I have pics in my gallery if you want to see) 7 hours ago I did 3.5 grams of the South Africans. 90 minutes later I either felt very mild effects or no effects as I done a dab about an hour before I dropped the eigth. Realizing that either my tolerance is too high or the cubes are bunk, I did the last bit I had from my december bag of penis envy (1.5 grams) I did this just under 2 hours after I dropped the eigth.
At around 4 am (3 hours after dropping eigth and 1 hour after 1.5) I was tripping, but no where in the night was I tripping anyway near what I was the last 4 trips. Going into it I knew that the trip wouldnt be that intense as I was doing 3.5 when I had 4.25 as peak levels, but I didn't expect it to be that diminished.
Just curious what you guys think, is this just how tolerance works or could these cubes just not be that great?

Albino penis envy is usually much more potent than other variants. With good isolation a lot of experienced cultivators and trippers will dose around 2.5 as the high end with their APE.

A while ago now, in fact a few years when I was learning, I did three 3.5g+ GT at weekly intervals. On the third trip I didn’t get any “magic”. I have never dosed within two weeks since then.
Maybe have a fortnight off then see what happens?

I had the same issue a while back, my tolerance was super high, I abstained for a month and it fixed the problem. Now I’m tripping every 2 weeks.

Sounds like a tolerance building issue. 1 week is definitely not enough time to reset your tolerance fully. At least 2 weeks is needed and that wont be a full reset but it will be a signifigant reset in comparsion to 1 week.

Same thing happened to me last night. Same crop, same dose, same everything. I felt the coming up and the switch from serotonin to psilocin but never into the trip. I agree with waiting ... I am going to hold off for a month.

Well see thats what I thought but then why did it only affect my 5th trip? The first 4 times I was able to trip without any noticeable effect from tolerance, with only 6-7 days in between. Is it just the potency of the APEs giving me super high tolerance, and the africans werent potent enough to crack that threshold I guess?

Correct. South Africans arent as potent as APEs therefore couldnt get pass the tolerance threshold. I grow African Transkei and they have a nice medium-range potency

Why grow anything but APE's? What is your reasoning?

Also OP reupped during the trip long enough in to feel tolerance from the initial dose. Not due to "tolerance build up" I don't find that's a thing at all - if you can trip at level X once a week with some amount of shrooms you can keep doing that indefinitely.

Its my experience that every strain has a different "feel" to it. So to grow only strain, you are limiting yourself.
That being said, Ive been growing African Transkei for about a year, and I love it. Just like you're growing only APE. The effects of African Transkei feels very spiritual to me, a perfect fit for me personally
