Please help dehydrator sapped away potency!!!

Ok so I had a yield of 100 grams the other day. I ate 22 grams wet. Had a pretty decent 4 hour trip. The next day I ate the rest 7 to 8 grams and I had no trip at all. I used the circle dehydrator that I've seen so many use it dehydrated the tiny mushrooms withing an hour. Was it my tolerance or did my dehydrator destroy the psilocybin??? Please help!!

I’d guess something along the lines of - a Crapshoot low potency genetics lottery + tolerance from tripping the day before. Wait 2 weeks for your tolerance to go down and then you can trip again without needing to eat double or triple the amount you would normally need.
You can blend all (or a set amount) your fungi into powder and mix for a more consistent potency no matter what you grab from your stash.

They were all from the same coco color tub. Do they have different genetics?

might of just been to soon man honestly or the ones you ate just weren't that potent. i would wait just 5 to 7 days and try again.

The reason I picked them is because their viels broke. Am I supposed to do it then?

that shouldn't effect the potency it should only bring more weight and cause sporulation. it seems that the trip may have been to soon its happened to me before but i didnt take that big of amount either so the ones you ate could have not been that strong the rest of the batch could be fire

Await 100g dried in an hour????
The genetics are all over the place with spore vendors so people isolate their favorites.
Could be that they were lacking.
Also there shouldn't be a tolerance issue if you went from less than 2g dry to 7-8

dehydrators won't affect potency at all. trust me on this. you lose potency from not dehydrating them in the dehydrator, however, from shrooms that aren't cracker dry, because the leftover moisture can cause degradation of the shrooms (aka mold) and other fun stuff you don't want associated with your shrooms.
remember, people make shroom tea all the time with boiling water for 20 minutes with pretty much no loss of potency, and even sauteeing fresh shrooms with pretty much no loss. it takes pretty high temps at pretty long cook times to destroy the goodness, much higher and longer than what the dehydrator gets to.
as already mentioned, genetics are the most likely issue, coupled with tolerance. another potential issue is if you ate anything beforehand - if your stomach is full from a big meal and you ingested right after within an hour or two of that, sometimes this can delay or even weaken a trip due to the food getting in the way of the shrooms. better to trip on a light stomach or when you've not eaten for a few hours to avoid this.
one reliable variety i can recommend to mostly avoid genetics issue is the penis envy shroom varieties, at least for cubes... but watch out, they're potent stuff! generally they're 1.5-2x the potency of other cubes, with genetics still being a factor...but i've not had any "bunk" PE cubes. just keep in mind they're something to treat with respect, and they tend to be more heavily visual than other cubes that i've noticed, and i'm not one that gets much visuals normally.

I would blame the tolerance here, doing stuff the next day of a substantial trip, even double dose, creates no useful effects for me.

I've taken 3g one day then 8 the next with absolutely no tolerance issues. So that's not my experience. I couldn't speak about continued use though.
Seems down to the potency.
But still wondering about the really short dry time of 1hour.

Tolerance perhaps, though that's quite a bump up. So maybe just MS variability? The fresh fruits will always be as good as they get, and drying can degrade active psilocin. An hour to go completely dry is kind of suspicious too...
Just wait a couple weeks and try the second flush and see.
