potency issues

Man hell yeah! First off, it's a good ass summer for cubes in SC/GA. It started after the tropical storm a week or two ago. At first, we only had one feild, and would scour that bitch for 3 hours only to come out with maybe 100g fresh wich is less than a half oz dry. Well, we found two other feilds, and yesterday we came out of one with at least 800g-1K fresh or so. And I don't give a damn what they say about the cube line being mainly south of I-20 cause our best feild is way north of I-20 in SC.
But anyways, my main question is about potency issues in our main feild. The first time we found something there, it hadn't rained in like 5 days to a week and what we found was small and half dried and shit. The bluing reaction was really prominent on them though (possible high psilocin content?). We only ate maybe an eq. of 25-30g fresh, but we tripped ultra nuts. I mean we were really blown away by the potency. I was very surprised to find that they were just as potent or maybe more potent than all the strains that I've home grown in the past (which are always better than feild shrooms).
Now yesterday after another rain, we went back out there, and as soon as we hopped the fence to get in the feild we looked down and there was cubes everywhere! We found an ass of really fresh and picture perfect specimens. However, I have noticed that the bluing reaction on these isn't as significant, and is slower (possibly indicating lower psilocin levels and more psilocybin?). When about 30g fresh of these were eaten, it was no where near as potent. I have tripped a few times within the past week or two so it could partly be a tolerance issue. But these are definitely less potent than before.
So why would the fresher, better looking harvest be less potent than the shitty dried up harvest from the exact same feild, in the same areas?
Could it be from heat? Cause it has been really hot lately. Could it be from subtle variances in the strain as the shrooms reproduce and evolve?
The lesser potent ones were still good, just very mild and longer lasting. Also slower to kick in. The first ones were the kinda trip I love, very fast to kick in, and shorter acting with a way more intense peak. Almost like blam it hits you and your fucked up laughing hard for 2 hours straight walking in circles like what the fuck are we doing. So are they actually better when dried? I always thought the fresh ones were the best.
So what do you all think?

I feel this may be a large part of your potency problem... Give em at least a couple weeks!

lol, probably right.
Back when I was living in Hawaii I had 2 weeks by myself, I decided to eat mushrooms every day. I was bored, and had no job at the time. I think it was by the 4th day that I didnt even have an effect. Just the runs.

It's the shrooms, cause a friend of mine just ate 30g fresh and didn't feal shit. I'm tripping pretty good right now but it took 70g fresh to get there. It's definitely a potency issue, theres got to be two different strains or something. There are some in that feild that look more like the cubes I'm used to, like what I've grown in the past and what was dominant in the other feilds. These were thicker and meatier, and the caps were solid golden/brown. These turned a darker blue faster, and were more like, say an equdorian or puerto rican.
The other mushrooms were still just as big if not bigger, but they weren't as meaty. The caps were colored differently, with a gold dot in the center and white ring. These only turned pale blue and it took a while to do it. These cubes looked almost exactly like B+. They say shrooms got between .1 and .5 percent actives by weight, these were probably around .15 to .2 percent.
There all cubes in the end so fuck it I guess, I'm still happy. But yeah I do need to not eat anymore for at least a couple of weeks just for zero tolerance. But the fact that one person barely felt anything from 30g fresh tells me that it's way more than just my tolerance, esp. when the cube is varied all of a sudden and the harvest was mainly of the variation.
Weird.

Freshly harvested are my favorite way to eat shrooms..
And wild Cubensis are extremely variable in potency.
I have collected nearly worthless wild Cubes, and also I have collected outstandingly potent wild Cubes.
Happy hunting!

Interesting point. Once I got to the shrooms as you describe "less potent" I never ate shrooms out of the field again. I didn't care too much for the sensation, and decided that unpredictability played a big role. Incidentally, the one 39 g. mushroom I ate was much like as you describe. As for tolerance, I don't build much, after tripping alot in a short period, I get more complacent with the sensation, but still get up there. In one week I tripped on a Tues., Fri., both were good, but then on the Sun. that Katrina made landfall I ate 2g of aborts and accidentally tripped ultra balls (<- ) I tripped so hard, I travelled up through a tunnel of bubbles and landed on the moon, literally. I later learned that the image of the moon's surface was created by the textured cieling. So much for tolerance, LOL.
