been taking a bit less than 1 mg a day for 7 days now, I'm a type 1 , experimented before but alway waited many weeks to start tanning, after how many days should I be allowed to hit the tanning beds?

so how long should I wait?

I would say that one week is not nearly long enough.
Btw, 1mg/day but you don't say your weight. (I am 210lbs and the dose spread sheet says closer to 1.5 for me)
I'm a type 3, usually get some burn then I tan. I started a week or so in and did two times 6min then skipped a day, then 8min then each
day I don't get more than a bit red I increase the next day by 2min.
This has worked for me, but my skin type tans even without melanotan II, for a type1 I would think a good 10 days is more like it, and even then
do 4-5min, no burn jack it up by 1-2 each time, maybe with a recovery day in between.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Best of luck.
