B+ is a popular beginner cube. Cubes are cubes but for a long time B+ was consired more forgiving than most. IME B+ will fruit even if you torture it.
Cubes are cubes... they fruit in the same conditions. Any differences in potency and resiliance are speculation... but unproven. Still, some differences may be true in spite of the lack of proof.

I notice this too. PEU is almost as slow.

B+ and GT are what most people start with.
I see no diff just like you said above.
A cube is a cube, Pick one and study away.

because the pe feature is some kind of genetic abnormality, such is the nature of random multispore genetics that some of the specimens have the normal genetic makeup. The spores from successive generations tend to lose the traits.
The print u see above was a very penile specimen. PE does form spores, the spores just don't get launched because of some genetic defect.
To get that print I had to trim around the perimeter of the cap and press it down against paper like a rubber stamp. Typing paper makes a terrible substrate for a spore print because of the acids. But the spores stick to it readily.
People make it sound hard to print pe. It's not. There are a number of easy methods. A qtip under the gills and tossed into a ziplock bag is the simplest.

you should get sterile swabs NOT qtips, qtips are made from cotton a natural fiber that is easily contamed and is known to harbor contaminates.
a sterile swab under the gills wrapped in sterile hvydty foil is easiest/best if it wont drop spore traditionally.

they are small tubs that use the basic ohmatic monotub concept with large polyfilled holes.
the problem is that the concept doesn't work very well scaled down. I'd have been much better off with the open-hole shotgun style design. The problem is there isn't enuff height for the rising heat to create the proper updraft.
So anyway I've just resorted to nurturing it by hand meticulously several times a day. I don't recommend the tub at all. Just trying new things.

Mutants are usually poorer than average fruiters. PE may be the only exception... without agar work or a lot of luck.

Just bought an APE syringe...
I don't really have any questions, just excited to grow this strain and needed to share with someone! I think they're the coolest looking mushroom.

is it worth it in the long-run [Re: Rose]

my question is this; is it worth buying one variety over another or is it all novelty? I took my samples from mushrooms i had and loved for the potency and the "clean" feeling of them. dont know what they are (cubensis, dont know what variety) but they were GOOD. I know they're all different even if they're supposed to be the same thing but overall, from someone who's grown many varieties, would i be wiser to acquire some fancy named spores from a supplier or can I make what I have much better through proper breeding and agar work? I realized this question has no final answer but in your more experienced opinions... I ask because Im in a state ran by a bunch of pussies and it sucks...

around here the saying is that a cube is a cube except for PE. The penis envy strains are truly amazing, qualitatively different without any doubt.
Regarding the other strains, they are fairly similar, but there are significant physical differences. There's not too much difference in potency tho apart from the penis envy, which is consistently and significantly more powerful.
