Mushroom potency

So I ate a gram lastnight of some very strong looking mushrooms. Very dark blue, dark caps, thick stems. The entire duration of the trip I felt sober, but not sober, just not grounded. No visuals other than a bit of tunnel vision and things were more crisp. Not a single body buzz, just the typical odd out of place body feeling.
I've had a gram before where It completely fucked with my world. Body buzz for a few hours straight, seeing walls breathing, objects growing and shrinking in size, paintings spinning their colors and trees moving and breathing.
Whats the deal with such a huge difference in potency? Shitty strain? Shitty grower? I'm growing my first batch right now and I really don't want them to be the shitty kinda tripping kind, I want to be in another world with them.

Tis the culprit. Many people would feel "nothing" off of 1 gram. Take at least 2-3 to get visuals. Usually 3-3.5 is a common good large ammount to get "good visuals".
Also potency DOES vary batch to batch. Unless you grow from a clone, every shroom from every flush will have a different potency. Growing conditions play a roll, but for the most part (aside from growing using poo which is more potent) most substrates are more or less equal in terms of potency. Grow more, i prefer rye as a non-bulk substrate. Eat more. They will work, potency will vary, but just eat 2.5+g and you should get closer to the experience you are looking for.

But the second part of my post, a gram is my dosage to get a good trip. I've only eaten 1.5 at the most and it was intense. Very low tolerance to this stuff, but for some reason this bag didn't do shit to me.

maybe your tolerance has increased? Or maybe you just had some killers earlier. Dosage can be pretty subjective, try boosting with a second dose if you still can't get where u want to.

Maybe what you ate before wasn't cubes? Other species of psilocybe-containing mushrooms are much more potent. Like said above, 1 gram usually won't do much, if anything at all. Potency within the same species, however, varies by a very small amount. You also have to take into account what is in your stomach.

It's different from person to person. I'd consider myself as a quiet sensitive guy, concerning drugs and made the experience that a good gram of Cubes can be quiet a intense experience, but I also made the experience that there can be almost no effects at all. Just last weekend I ate a gram of self cultivated cubes and felt absolutely NOTHING. My pupils weren't bigger at all, so I'm pretty sure I wasn't influenced by them at all. Don't think about it too much. Some fruits just "suck", others "rock".

IMO, it's all in the body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and mainly the set.

>>>Very dark blue, dark caps, thick stems.
If they were dark blue, that means that a lot of the psilocybin has oxidized, which means they aren't as potent as they used to be when they were first picked. Also, one gram isn't all that much if you had cubes.

So bruising blue isn't a thing you want to happen? Interesting I always heard otherwise.
Well hm. Just a weaker batch then. and 8th should do wonders.

all actives bruise blue, but not all that bruise blue are actives.
bruising IME does decrease potency a bit

you cant really be sure if bruising reduces potency cause you cant judge how potent it would have been it it was never bruised
