I remember when the Talpapla first came out - a few guys tested it earlier on and said that it was disappointing. Im not sure how well the Wollongong cubensis would perform - many domesticated Australian Cubensis are dissappointing in comparison to the gold-tops picked in the north. Interestingly all the gold-tops ive seen from queensland, Western Australia and NSW look relatively similar - even the supposed Victorian Cubensis was identical - gold/yellow caps, big mush - Mystical Mycology Australia has two undomesticated Cubensis strains from Australia if anyone is interested in domesticating a new Australian spore-race. They should be open for business in two-three weeks

You've really outdone yourself now rolf...just how low can you go? Taplapa and Wollongong strains - both brought to the myco world by the SporeLab, are excellent strains. The Wollongongs, with thier unique long-stems are unlike any others and the Tapalpa,s, well I've had them for a couple years now and you are the only person to complain. They produce beautiful specimens that provide a great high. But what else is new. Your constant badmouthing of my products only make YOU look bad, not me or my products. When will you learn that making yourself look good begins with ...making yourself look good, not by trying to make others look bad. As for the unique strains that YOU have brought to the table, I'm dropping them all from my menu. Wait a minute......you never brought any!

CaptainMax and Ralph If you would like I can post the results and pics of Tapalpa vs Lipa Yai and Plantasia. I just innoculated 12 jars of a special mix. 4 jars each of the previous strains mentioned. I am an unbiased bystander and my results will be also. Would you two like this? Joshua

Sure! I'm not saying Tapalpa is the greatest thing scince sliced bread but it is definately a strain that deserves more respect than rolf gives it! Did you get genuine Tapalpa spores directly from the SporeLab? The mere fact that he chose to make his 'vendor announcement' in the cult forum just goes to prove his move is just another desperate, feeble attempt to make himself look good by making others look bad with bullshit smear tactics! It's sad really.

Well if you read through this thread the first person to get personal is you Max - although it looks like a bit of a jibe being the two spore-races that you claim were domesticated by the Sporelab. I would love to try out these strains if anyone can send me a print of either - as i have not grown either I cannot comment from personal experience at all so they could be the best Cubensis strains on the planet - although I dont see many people trading them. I look forward to Joshua's results.

What were tatalpas bred for? Fast colonization, unique characteristics, or just being from a different place? I would think that you would need something to set them apart other than mediocrity. I would like to see what others have to say about them. My monkey has seen some tatalpas and doesn't think they are anything to sneeze at. They are bland looking, mediocre colonizers, not high yield. Dunno about potency though. Definitely looking forward to Joshua's experiment. Peace Flatal

Bred? What do you think they are...dogs? While others recycle the same old tired strains, here at the SporeLab, we try to bring new things to the table. Tapalpa's are a perfectly good strain, produces very nice specimens very easily that get you just as high as the others, indeed, they are all cubensis. Nobody has claimed that they are the biggest, the baddest or the most potent. But they are every inch as good as the majority of other strains. You have to understand the whole reason of this thread is a personal vendetta -likely based on jealousy or loss of business- of 'rolfster'. The mere fact that he chose to post what is obviously a 'vendor announcement' in the cult forum instead of the vendor forum where it belongs, proves this. The fact that he singles out SporeLab strains for criticism, further proves. This is the Cult forum, where we talk about cultivating mushrooms. Only a true troll and troublemaker would delibertly post something that is nothing more than a cut-down of another vendor. No cult info here, just the usual pathetic attempt by rolf to try to make himself look good by trying to make others look bad. Both the Tapalpa and Wollongong stains are very good and for those who are tired of the same old recylced strains, somebody like me who brings new things to the table, should be thanked, not critisized.

hey max, you shouldn't assume that ralphster is trying to do your business harm. he plainly stated that the prints that he had were not of the quality to where he would feel justified by selling them for higher prices. it seems as though you are feeling like he's tryin to do some price cuttin just to piss you off ! i'm new here, and i'm 19, but i would never post anything as childish as seem to like to. i'm not taking sides here. although, i have ordered from ralphster and he came through with some very nice spores. i hope to even do business with you max, as long as you stop acting paranoid about peeps trying to hurt your business. chill out. take some deep breathes and think before you post. peace

Yo jsut don't get it do you? This is the cult forum, for cult info. His announcement, weather delibertly meant to cut down the SporeLab or not (and believe yo me, its a deliberate attempt, he never quits trying), does not belong in the cult forum. Vendor announcements go in the Vendors forum. Is that too hard to understand?

Keep your vendor announcements in the vendors forum rolf. I have grown out almost every strain available over the past 5 years, there is no doubt in my mind that both the Tapalpa and Wollongong strains are as good as the majority. 'I don't like the look of them'...what a bunch of fucking bullshit. The Tapalpa's look the same as any other cubensis! Perfect, beautiful specimens.

well max, you are a vendor and you are griping in this forum. also, he did not point fingers and say, " don't buy these! " he was just stating his opinion. you don't have to agree with his opinion. it's called personal preference. you don't have to grumpy. and even if he was " trying " to harm your business, is he doing a good job ? are you losing customers ? i highly doubt it. people who want to try those strains will try them. max, i may even purchase some from you. wow, what a revelation. just keep it cool. don't get so worked up. if he is tryin to piss you off and watch you squirm, do you really need let him know that what he is doing is working ? i don't know anyone here too well but ralphster never directed the post towards anyone. you did though. also, you are a vendor. why are you not posting in the vendors forum ? just curious. adios. peace.

I post in the Vendors forum all the time. And rolf was wrong to post this in the cult forum, havn't you figured that out? Vendor announcements, opinions and complaints go in the Vendors forum and announcements which are merely designed to harm someone elses business, they go in the trash heap. And people who post that type of crap? They deserve to be exposed the way I am exposing rolf now. He is the only one who is continuosly posting this type of bullshit at the shroomery. He is a classless wonder! If you havn't noticed, we've been trying to clean up the shroomery of this type of crap. Rolf is like one of those little dingleberries that refuse to be flushed...it just pops back up!

Max Mudslinger, Those a three lonely looking mushrooms. I got some newbie pics of some PFs that would top that. Now before going any further let me make it clear that comparedto you guys I don't know shit about mushrooms! But in four months of studying and two months of growing, I do know this: I can grow mushhrooms. I can make a viable print and syringe(thank's to the shroomery), and I can buy a stamp. This is basically all I require of a vendor. I've been to both of your sites, and I have to say Max you have a very impressive website. Ralph's site isn't quite as impressive but his approach is. It's simple. It says "if you're broke, I'll help you anyway" So, if he can make a print, or get a print, and mail it, I couldn't care less, how long he practiced, how big his building is, what color his superhero under-roos are, how many spore slingers he has, or if he has the history of mushroom cultivation tattooed on his ass. Now like I said, I don't know shit about shrooms. But I not a clueless kid either. I'm a damn good electrician, and somewhat of an authority on fuckin with people. If Ralph's post really was with malicious intent, (and I'm not saying it was) I wasn't to crash you business by givin three prints away. It was to just to fuck with ya! And you bit! Not only did you bite. You made another flaming post with both burner on high pointing to this thread. If you hadn't spoken up a coulpe of people would have said "yeah I'll take one" and the thread would have sunken into the archives(and since we already know nobody searches) never to be seen again. If you hadn't spoken up, most would have ever even known that you brought the shitty strains to the table. And Ralph didn't even flame you for that, or even point it out! I'm about to send some prints to the FSR. I don't care if Ralph gives em all away or makes a bunch of syringes and sells the shit out of em. I have not yet read one post that said "that damn Ralph screwed me out of my $1"! I have lost a considerable amount of money by givin a break to someone crying broke. And I have never turned a customer away for lack of money. So I know, in trying to keep this policy, it has to get in Ralph's pocket every so often. In saying all this I know I'm just asking to get flamed soon. So, all you guys, if I post a question, (and I'm trying not to for fear of a swift ruler across the knuckles), you can answer me, flame me, ignore me, I don't give a shit. I'm still going to learn here. I'm gonna get better. And hopefully, we're all gonna have fun. Ok I've vented. I feel better! Hope somebody got a kick out of it. Hey Cap'n Mudslinger, I heard there are some kids in study hall that only have time to read the first three threads in the vendors forum before study hall let's out. You better go shamelessly bump your post. LOL Just kidding, go take a valium or something. Now, Take Off Aye!
