Dosage question

Sorry, i know this probably gets asked alot. How many Hawaiian Cubes do you think it would take to reach a level 3. I know you can't really know until you test them out but i just want a good starting point. They are 2.5 - 3" tall. Grown in wbs, straw, and cow dung. they have a coir verm casing. thank you.
My other question is since they are so small will an 8th OZ. of small shrooms be more powerful than an 8th OZ. of bigger ones.thank you

They are wet. So it would be like 40grams or less because they haven't lost potency yet. Does it make a difference that they are small, because there will be more than if they were big

Well, the general consensus is that all strains of cubensis are about the same potency so you shouldn't concern yourself with whether or not they're Hawaiian. Variables to take into account are your weight and whether or not you've taken any other drugs recently which would give you a tolerance, such as serotonin-related antidepressants or other hallucinogens. Assuming the aforementioned variables aren't really an issue, I'd say 2 grams dry should be about right. (Remember, that's roughly 20 grams wet if you're doing it that way.)
Smaller mushrooms are not more potent than larger mushrooms. However, there are very small mushrooms called "aborts" which in fact are usually 2 to 3 times more potent by weight than normal. Their caps typically stay closed while the other normal mushrooms are growing larger and their caps are opening. If you can spot the tiniest mushrooms in this pic, those are aborts:

This is a close-up of an abort which was about as long as your fingernail (and quite blue as you can see):

Thanks land crab. Is there any way besides experience to tell the difference between pins and aborts?
i am going to do a shot of weed butter before i eat them too. i think that will make it stronger.

^It's usually a question of timing. If you have a relatively even flush and the bigger shrooms are expanding into their full glory while the tiny ones are staying the same size, then the latter are probably aborts. Pins should start exhibiting noticeable growth pretty quickly, like within 2 or 3 days at most. Aborts simply abort and stop growing at a very small size.
Regarding the pot, no question it will intensify the effects. Personally I like to wait until I know I'm tripping before I get all baked -- like smoking some when I'm nearing the peak. But different strokes for different folks. Have fun! (P.S. 2 grams/20 grams is just a rough/average estimate)
