Question about psilocybin tolerance

I am hoping to embark on a 5g journey in a couple of weeks. I am wondering if I would be doing myself a disservice, in terms of tolerance, if I did a smaller 1 - 2g trip about a week before the bigger trip. I don’t know much of anything about tolerance in terms of dosages and timing, so any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated

I'm of the 'more distance between trips is generally better' school. I'd aim at closer to 1g on the earlier experience and probably more like 10 days between experiences.

I think 3 days is enough from what I've read, a week for sure is plenty of time between your doses. Some people trip multiple times a week

a week like 7 days is plenty of time for 0 tolerance especially on a low dose.

It seems that this question is asked and debated every few days.
From all of the different answers and my own experience, I have gathered this:
Answer: It depends
Tolerance is dependent on a couple of factors.
1) Dose. The lower the dose, the less time required for tolerance reset. But this can be tricky because it depends on the dose of actives IN the mushrooms. If your 3g dose is from MS and is "bunk" (has little actives) then your tolerance won't take as long to recede as a 3g dose that had the "average" amount of actives in it.
2) Personal chemistry. Some people talk about dosing multiple times a week. Others feel no effect dosing in that way. It would seem that personal physiology has some role in the development of tolerance. But this is hard for an individual to gauge without trial and error because, if there is indeed subjective physiological differences that change tolerance from person to person, it is not well understood.
3) Set/setting. This one I consider "pseudo tolerance manifesting". What I mean by this is that, two doses of exactly the same strength can be wildly different when different set/settings are encountered. It doesn't actually create "tolerance" but it can seem so. For example, it seems, for me, that being with other people lowers the strength of a dose. Why? Because there is more distraction from the experience. But being alone, in a dark room, and going inward seems to amplify the strength when compared to hanging out with someone.
Conclusion:
It may effect your 5g dose, it may not. Unless the 1g is of some very high active content mushrooms, I doubt it would have much effect on tolerance. If it makes you feel comfortable taking that 1g a week prior, go for it.
