Thanks everyone for the feedback, good to know I'm not the only one this has happened to.
Got some hpoo for my PR's (expecting better results, hah), hopefully I'll be getting a digi soon so I can post some pics of it

i know that i just like to pick fatties and i always enjoy beating my record. the biggest ive been able to grow thus far is 87g fresh. which isnt too bad, but i know people have grown twice that. This is an awesome hobby 
i rememebr seeing 160g+ B+ shroom. it was either here or at the nook, not for sure where i saw it.
but i want to try my hand at pan cyans as well for the potency. i think i would just stick it to the pans if i can get them to grow. id just make all .5g capules so dosing is convenient. would be great to take one lil capsule and trip balls like i ate a couple or few grams of cubes

and i hope that your next batch of mushies kick your ass into the blissful trip that you deserve for taking 8g's and not feeling much of anything. that just sucks. but hey at least you didnt buy them, thats the good thing about growing your own.

Same here. The B+ I grew a few years back had similar effects. They were also on cakes which are supposed to have less potency. No complaints here.

low potency is a harsh revelation to the first time grower. the HP is going to help dramatical in this aspect but like was already said this has to be done right, lots of good teks here on using HP.
for my first grow i had some very week Golden Teachers. i found that what was needed was just to consume more. however eating 10 grams of dry or 75g wet can be fairly unpleasant. I used a cold grapefruit juice extraction that was fairly effective and ended up doing an anhydrous alcohol extraction for the rest of the weight. The second approach was the most effective as it allows for uniformity in dosage as the final product is very nearly pure psilocin/psilocybin. you will lose a little of the active alkaloid this way but IMHO it is far better to lose a bit than to have the "trip doubt" (did i take enough? is this it? am i peeking, is this going to get any stronger, should i take more???? WTF is this it???) the alcohol extraction is outlined in the recipes section of the shroomery and is exceptionally easy to do. Be carefully with an eye to dosage, this will result in very nearly pure crystals and you can over do it very easily. Of course I'm a firm believer of overdoing ti so go to it

I have to also add some of my most memorable trips were on B+ very euphoric with awesome visuals!

I know this is an old thread.
I would think that there would be incentive for one to do strand isolation for high potency.
I'm a novice and a bit dim to boot -- I need to study things a lot more.
I remember in college many years ago -- 1 gram of dried would be a nice trip-- level 2 at least and this was back when i was doing a lot of acid and knew the realms of trippedness.
But my B+ and GT's haven't performed as well. I'm still at the point where I'm just happy to get fruits, though.
I'm very happy to be in the hobby. I hope to be able to contribute something of worth.
Maybe this counts: Don't eat 8 grams of washington A+ amanita muscaria... i heard that 8 g was the minimum therapeutic dose... but it whacked me. unbelievable ataxia... temp blindness, etc. got a black eye from falling down the stairs. massive sweating... my jack russells were licking the sweat off my bald scalp while I was rushing on the floor... i wasn't coherent enough to see if they were laying beside me the rest of the night twitching and tripping... but they don't seem to hold it against me.
peace...
