Don't give up. Raise some gourmet shrooms, sell them at a farmers market to recoup your investment. Then try psilocybin shrooms again

How did you spend 2k running pf tek?!?!
If other people don’t feel anything either then it’s just bad luck with genetics. All you can do is go back to spore. The good news is super weak shrooms are very rare.
Like has been said, some people just need more. I know a couple guys who have to take 7-10g+ for a light trip while I’ll be full blown off 1.5g of the same shrooms.

Anyone know what dosage John Hopkins and the like administer for their studies? I know it's in pill form but I was wondering what that would translate to in average cube weight. Most of the patients seem to hit level 5.

I’m seeing reporting from 2021 indicating an optimal dose of 30mg per 70kg of body weight. Interesting - we never (or seldom) seem to consider body weight. Or is that just me?
With the advent of laboratory testing and the wide ranges of potency seen even in non-exotic varieties of cubensis mushrooms, I don’t know what average is anymore. Let’s say somewhere between 3 and 6 grams. More if they’re weaker, less if they are stronger. Since one subject of this thread has been individual sensitivity and dosage adjustment, ymmv.

The $2000 went to the dehydrator, pressure cooker, 96 jars, 12 totes for SGFCs, enough spore syringes to inoculate about 240 total jars, the BRF, verm, and perlite, an additional large tote to make a SAB out of, a couple folding tables to put the fruiting chambers on, 6500K lights, spray bottle to mist with, and 2x4’s to get raise them off the tables to promote FAE through the chambers.
I think the dehydrator alone was 300. I probably should have started much smaller but I was really hoping to be able to make this a side hustle, not just enough for myself now and again.
I hadn’t had anyone else try them I didn’t want to do that until I knew they were good. I have tripped once on shrooms bought elsewhere during this time.

After similar challenges, and not knowing if it was me (rx’d SARI/trazodone, so I take a lot) or the shrooms (including genetics and my culting) I purchased qtests. Friends/test subjects are certainly cheaper.

I've heard Terrance McKenna talk about body weight. I think he said he weighed 145 lbs and he took 5 grams, and if you weigh more you should take more. Not sure if that's proven or not.

I don't even like buying spore syringes. I usually only use a few drops now.
If you were trying to grow in bulk, pf tek isn't the way to go anyway.
Sometimes people jump into this hobby planning to make money, but until they know what they're doing it doesn't work out that way. Just ask foggy frog. I don't remember if he was trying to make money, but he blew a lot of cash with minimal results.
I probably didn't have the knowledge necessary for bulk growing until about 6 months after I started. That wasn't very long ago.

The actives in the fruits are primarily serotonin agonists. I don’t think you have weak fruits, I think you have a neurochemical situation that is individual to your own self.
There are tests you can take to assess this.
As you said, you have seen people have much more pronounced effects from the same amount, while you do not. That means the issue isn’t the fruits but the person consuming.

I should clarify one detail. I have had good experiences with similar amounts many times in the past from shrooms gotten elsewhere. Probably had 10-15 trips total before trying to grow myself. Not to say it isn’t me necessarily though. I do have some left I’ll give them out for others to try. I guess my thought was that I didn’t want to do that until I knew I had good ones. But I’ll do that
