Red Capped Cubenis???

Hi, I'm new here and I've searched around but cannot find a strain that matches what I am looking for...
first off I know about amanita muscaria and that is not what I am looking for... a few years ago actually this is what inspired my first grow. I got a hold of some red capped beauty's.. dried they were about 3 inch's long and it didnt look like the cap had opened (from what I remember)... now I was told they were "Red capped amazon's" but all the amazonian strains that I have looked at all have gold caps... I decided they looked the most like the B+ from the pictures I had seen on the internet however after growing those I found that the growing product looked exactly like the dried product that I had a few weeks prior, however by the time they finished growing they had flat yellow/gold caps... I am just curious if anyone else has seen these "red cap cubenis" and know what strain it is so I can take advantage for my next grow
thanks sorry for being such a newb

Give up.
There may have been some red capped mushrooms floating around back in the day. I don't know. If I were you, I would look forward to some of the new strains being developed that are probably more interesting, and more fun to grow.

if you're looking for dark coloring, you'll want to increase your amount of light
my other strains are more of a brown color when dried, but the brazillians i've grown often dried quite well in the sense that they preserved their character (usually a reddish brown color ending in a distinct lighter ring) now they weren't BRIGHT red, but they red none the less i usually grow brazillians with 24hour light it's been the most successful with that strain for me

That's all it is. Whoever said it was a "Red capped amazonian" was blowing smoke up your ass.

Another thing is that you mentioned the caps had not opened yet on those mushrooms. The caps tend to be a dark reddish color from pinning up until the veil breaks, then lighten up as the caps open.

my friends like to say mine came from ecuador or brazil, etc depending on the strain it's all for hype
you just got some well-picked shrooms, they were probably so dank because they were picked at optimal mass

Optimal mass? Is that between early mass and late mass?

It all depends on the strain, and the genetics of the strain.
My eq's when pins started they were dark red from first sign of pins till the cap opened then they lightened up.
With my lipa yais, the pins started all white, then the tip went a yellow colour, then red, then once they started to get big, got lighter untill the cap opened. then to throw a spanner in the works, a 2nd flush there was 1 mushroom that was all white untill the cap opened and it had a slight hint of colour.
There is alot of variation when growing from multispore. From the 2 strains i have grown, i cant tell them apart,

I figured that no one knew what the hell they were talking about when they said red capped amazonian they were just trying to make them sound bomb... but they were the best I've ever had so I was just curious if someone had the red capped ones before and actually knew the strain name...
Optimal mass is something that I'd like to read more about can someone link me to it? is there a better time to pick? I always thought the longer you waited the better...
thanks for all your help guys!!!

When they are still "closed caps" they are supposed to be more potent for their weight then if you let them open all the way.
This just means that 1 gram of "premature" shrooms is more potent than 1 gram of fully mature shrooms.
Often times when people go to sell them they will pick them closed cap because they are trying to give you good product but at the same time get enough weight to make it all worth while.

I'm pretty sure that applies to aborts, not unopened cap mature shrooms.
We pick them before the cap opens, or just after, to avoid spores dropping everywhere in the FC

OK well I did some searching around and found THIS, it seems to say that gram for gram aborts are the most potent. I wish I could find more but I dont have time. But I do read on here quite abit that gram for gram smaller shrooms are more potent than a fully mature one. It seems it's kinda in the air really. At any rate your right about trying to avoid spores getting all over.

Im not quite sure, but recenlty i have been allowing my shrooms to flatten out and have had less intense trips compared to previous times where the veil hadnt quite broken. I havnt had enough experience to say whether or not there was much difference.
But i have heard that a gram of aborts compared to a gram of mature fruits could be more potent. Good luck getting a ton of aborts that make of a good few grams.

What about tolerance Veda? You seem to be eating cubes every week. Also, you are now more experienced with the trip and probably are much better at controlling a low dose trip.

I doubt if anyone will ever fully understand the complexity of dosage, as it varies by person.

Yes, but veda seems to be very sensitive (the lucky bastard). I remember when he started out, and ate from his first cake, he took a low dose and tripped his balls off.
