why cant i find any good info on this strain?
i remember Juke doing a lot with it a while back, but i cant find much helpful info on the strain.
i just knocked up 5 tester cakes with a ms syringe i made.
i tested the syringe on agar first. looks ok.
made a myc water strip from the agar. have a syringe of shooting star cube mycelium water in the fridge waiting for its use...
i want to know what to do once these genetics are established, and ready to be applied to cultivation

Because Its a strain made up by the keeper. Most likely an ordinary every day cube given some fancy name so he could try to sell them for $60 a print. Not too long ago honest vendors started selling these strains but theres still hardly any write up on them at all.
Weather or not these vendors actually ordered prints from the keeper, grew them out and printed them to sell is beyond me. Youll have to ask them. I personally think its just the name...

Now that you've found another key, what are you going to play?

i found this out ill just post what ever i find
Psilocybe Cubensis: "Shooting Stars"
This strain of Psilocybe Cubensis is being sold by a company in Canada as a hybrid. And although we are unsure as to wether it is an actual hybrid between 2 different mushrooms, we know for sure that they are different than the mushroom spores that we currently carry. This Canada company is selling these spores for $45 plus shipping. We have been able to get these to you at a reasonable price.
What is different in this strain is that although they do not grow very large, they do grow in numbers, often wanting to spurt more mushrooms than its substrate and mycelium network can withtand at one time. The casings get often so packed with pinhead mushrooms that its hard to see the casing layer underneath. Its stems are small to medium sized and the caps are a bit darker brown caramel color than other cubensis strains and often develop wavy caps similar to that of the Psilocybe Cyanescens Species which is what makes them most unique. The veil tends to stay stuck to the cap and eventually rips like string cheese but never gets fully removed from its cap. A unique mushroom I must say.

Keeper's Brand Cubes
"Strains include: The Keepers Creeper, Tequila Spikes, Veracity Sincerities, Shooting Stars, Sanctuaries, Yin/Yang?s, Oasis, Northern Lights, Hairy Buffaloes, Illusion Weavers, Chimeras, Reality Benders, Blue Meanies (Cubensis), Nj6, The Star Gazer, Z-Strain
BEWARE OF THE KEEPER!!!
It is sad to think a shady retailer like Keeper gets such a long entry, but his story needs to be told, and it is an annoyingly entertaining read.
Keeper Brand spores are overpriced and the Keeper website is filled with misinformation. The proprietor is a liar and a thief who only tries to trick newbies into spending up to ten times more than they should for a syringe. Facts be damned! Keeper will say anything to get a sale.
Unfortunately, he is still operating and selling spores. Many Shroomery newbies come to this website talking about the ridiculous prices they have payed Keeper for a spore syringe.
It does seem like Keeper sells viable spores... but avoid doing business with him at all costs. Little if anything is known about the origins of his Brand of spores.
At one time, Shroomery vendor Ryche Hawk www.thehawkseye.com supplied Keeper with all his spore prints... until they had a falling out when Keeper raised his prices and started selling spores as his own name-brand spores. It is plausible that many if not all Keeper's strains are simply renamed and overpriced versions of Hawk's own spores.
It is usually frowned upon when a vendor starts selling another vendor's exclusive spores w/o permission. It is especially frowned upon when a vendor changes the name of said spores to disguise the cube's origin. This practice denies the people who discovered wild cubes the credit they deserve. Recognition is often the only reward for mycological field work.
Recently, Hawk exacted his revenge on Keeper. He purchased every single Keeper Brand Cube from the Keeper himself. Hawk then had the spores shipped to his labs where the spores were germinated and fruited.
In this case, one bad turn deserves another. Hawk now sells the Keeper Brand cubes himself at a greatly reduced price... and unlike Keeper, Hawk actually tells people where his spores come from.
One of Keeper's cubes, the Blue Meanie Cube has caused a great deal of confusion. Blue Meanie has long been the nickname for the pan (copelandia) cyan, another magic shroom which grows in similar conditions as cubes but is much more potent. By naming a cube after another type of shroom, it has lead to a great deal of confusion, particularly when it comes to dosage. This single name has caused dangerous confusion. The Blue Meanie Cube spores are sold at a fair price by Ralphster www.ralphstersspores.com.
Keeper's most popular cube is known as Keeper's Creeper, and it is now sold by many vendors. Long before Hawk brought Keeper's other spores, The Shroomery's own Roadkill tricked Keeper into trading for the Creeper. RK's resulting prints ended up in the hands of legitimate vendors who began to sell the Creeper (KC) at a greatly reduced price.
Here's the entertaining story according to Roadkill:

i'm going out on a limb here but i'll be willing to bet they are NOT hybrids of two different species. by the best of my knowledge, this has never been sucessfully accomplished and if it has, it hasn't been distributed.
