your maths needs some work demure.
if there is 125ml of G per 1000ml total liquid (this seems to be a 'standard' concentration from several suppliers i know) then the ratio is 1:7, not 1:8.
a ratio of 1:7
is equal to 125:875
which gives a total volume of 1 litre
i'm not being pedantic or smart here, it is just important to make sure you know EXACTLY how much G is in each dose. it can bite you pretty hard if you mess it up.
your dilution information is spot on. the more it is diluted, the less chance of ODing. i would recommend 125:825 (1:7) as like i said before, this seems to be some sort of loose standard.
and add some blue food dye and don't store it in water, gatorade or any other type of drink bottle. the best containers i have found are the little plastic squeeze bottles you get from the body shop. they can be purchased for 75c and come in 50ml, 125ml, 250ml and 500ml sizes. they don't leak, have a secure pop top and most importantly they don't look like a drink bottle.
spend 50c at safeway and get 2 medicine measuring cups. one in your pocket and a spare in your bag etc.
another suggestion is to let a friend know you are on G. write a big G on your hand/arm with a marker. and set your stop watch with each dose. you lose track of time on G. it is easy to re-dose too soon when you forget what time your last dose was.
as a guide, i am a 70kg male and i start with a 15ml dose (of 1:7 diluted) with a re-dose of 10ml every 60 - 80 minutes later. if i don't feel it working, i wait the full hour before re-dosing. i learnt that the hard way.
my 50kg girlfriend takes 10ml initial dose with 6-7ml re-doses.
it is also recommended that you take it on an empty stomach with a fruit juice drink (orange, pineapple etc). this helps to make it easier on your belly.
always err on the side of safety. G's effects are subtle, enjoy them. don't end up in a mess trying to over do it.
AND NEVER MIX G WITH ALCOHOL. NEVER, EVER EVER.........get the point.
G is great, but only if you respect it.
