psilocybe cubensis +b potency

So I just completed my first grow of psilocybe cubensis +b. Over the last few days I've been harvesting them and consuming. Perhaps I've over estimated it's potency as I've had zero visuals, but I do feel the effect physically. It's been a long time since I've used mushrooms, but I feel a bit bummed out after all the effort and time I've spent to have no payoff so to speak. Is the first flush a bit weak and can I expect more from the next flushes?

Are you eating them wet or dry? 3 grams dry does not equal 3 grams wet

So, are you just eating them as you harvest? How much did you eat at once? How much time in between sessions? We need info before we can help.

b+ has some reputation for throwing bunk fruits, could be that. But still if you ingest enough mass qty it will eventually add up to something decent.

Why would you dry fresh mushrooms then eat them? Why not just eat them fresh?
More details please, not i]enough info to assist.
My favourite mushroom over the last few years was a great crop of B+ I grew. I must have been lucky, given the B+ legends, but they were super strong. 3.8g dry was enough for full transcendence.

You are probably underestimating how many you need to trip. I was quite horrified to learn what a 5g dose actually looked like the first time I ate 5g. Not that you need to dose THAT high. But you probably just took a small dose and eating more would solve the issue. I've only grown b+ once but it was a great batch and I saw entities for the first time ever at 35g fresh, (~3.5g dry)

You have to dry them completly crackerdry to get an impression of dosage. Fresh it's always gambling, as watercontent in fresh shrooms varies wildly from 80% to 97%.

Great shout, Pandemoon.
What I’ve started doing, as I tend to make tea from fresh then freeze it, is to measure out at least 100g mushrooms from a crop, and I dry those. I assume the associated water content applies to the whole flush.
Last crop I did this with was Mazatapec. I’d put 55g fresh into a pan for that nights festivities, then dried half my harvest. The water content was something like 94.7%, ie. NOT 90%, which people use as a rule of thumb.
So what this all meant for my trip from 55g fresh was...... the dried equivalent was 3.1g dry, not 5.5g dry. A 1% difference in water content can make a huge difference to the strength.

That's what I thought too. I ate a very large amount, I should have weight them before I ate them.

I originally dried them to store them for later. I put aside some to eat. After not having the effect I was expecting I made a tea out of the dried ones.

kinda, I do think I've underestimated how much I need to consume. Right now I'm on the edge of what I was looking for.
