So what was the first strand you all started with? I am going to start growing closer to around the pagan holiday Christmas so I was just looking for some opinions on decent starter strands.

Another question off topic i just dosed this weekend, and i had major paranoia.
An off-topic reply too - anything that comes up repeatedly during multiple trips (assuming that) is gonna require significant life changes to address. Anything that comes up just once could be a weird trip and you shouldn't worry about it anymore than you would a weird dream. Thinking about it too much can set you up for a repeat performance.
Back on-topic, colonizing and pinning speed don't seem all that related to me, whatever the strain they will pin when they feel like it. Something that works with some edibles and stones (or so it seems) is the shock-and-awe approach - you would take your sub and subject it to some swift physical shocks to stress it into "oh god better fruit NOW". I'd be interested to see people try this with cubes.

the first 'strain' i started with was golden teachers. the person i got the spores from had done alot of agar work to it and over time he was able to better the genetics. at least to a point where every mushie grew tall and over 20 grams (wet). really good flushes if its done properly.
im now workin on cambodia and oak ridge.

ragehead said: No one asked me for my opinion, but I have never been one to hold back. As a noob myself, I can honestly say unless the information is outlined in an easy to read, easy to find manner, then how do you expect us noobs to find out this information. Of course we are going to come into here and ask the same bloody stupid questions over and over again, because everyone will be interested in finding out that info as they get going. Problem is, is that Shroomery is a labyrinth of information, with probably fifty posts all saying a slightly different variant of the next, or even contradictory information. Yes, it is getting better, even since I came here, but still very difficult. You say "use the search function" okay, but since I don't overly know what I am talking about I got 50,000 posts in the results, most of which are 5 years old, outdated, or irrelevant. So instead of spending your time complaining about stupid questions, spend it cleaning the forums up or adding to the information sections and FAQs. Please don't get me wrong, I understand the frustrations, I do, and I love the Shroomery and the idea behind it, but attitudes like this push people away instead of bringing them in. Also, while I agree a cube is a cube, having the different strains/races/whatever makes it exciting and fun to try something different for noobs and helps bring people in. Also one could argue a Lager is a Lager and an Ale is an Ale, while that's a little like comparing Apples to Oranges, you cannot disagree that B+ tends to do this, while Cambo tends to do that. Cheers.
I just gotta give this guy a fist bump. I'm a noob, and I can't understand why so many people get so bitchy about noob questions. Every person here was a noob at one point. Where are we supposed to go to find answers to move us out of "noob status", if not here in Shroomery forums? Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems like experienced cultivators should feel satisfied with themselves knowing they have the knowledge to help beginners, rather than being pissed that there are so many people interested in hearing advice and growing shroomies. Also, if you're a veteran grower and you hate noobs, then don't bother giving sassy, arrogant responses.... Sorry. Soapbox. Had to say it.

Spend ten years answering the same n00b questions over and over.
Most are answered early in this thread.
I understand how searching for info on this site can be daunting but I have become pretty good at it over the years. It is worth the effort you put in.
Mushrooms take time to grow and the first thing most n00bs need to learn is patience. The time it takes to prepare for and attempt a first grow is ample time to research what you need.
Indeed, many vets would better serve this community by answering questions over and over and I do what I can to remedy the situation. But if n00bs won't read what has already been written, vets will suspect they don't have the patience required for this hobby.
There are no easy answers. There is no Super Strain. Mushrooms take time to grow.
Here's a great link. Read the first three posts n00bs. Your strain questions should be answered. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10560039/fpart/1/vc/1

Well said. I get this. I definitely spend the time sifting through threads to find answers. I find that the trickiest part in this is that there are SO many variations of answers, and so many variants in growing conditions, that it's difficult to be sure of what a grower's next step should be. Honestly, rereading my post, I resent my attitude...haha. So sorry for coming off as a douchey, presumptive n00b....

Here's a tip. Search for answers by username. Most Mods of this forum or Trusted Cultivators know their shit.
Another tip. Magic mycology has changed a lot in the last few years. The newer info from trusted sources is often more accurate. I am amazed at how much has changed since I started here.

Good tip, although i do agree the vets get a little to bitchy pushing people to other forums and drive away support for this site. I myself have skimmed the active posts after getting some pretty nasty responces from vets.

Reference your research. Show the other folks what threads you have been reading.
If vets see that you have been studying, they will be more likely to help.
If you come in asking for all the answers to all the questions... or don't appear to have studied anything, you are wearing a target.
This forum IS harsh on n00bs... but the hazing is there to teach y'all to be patient and to use the search engine.
If you don't like such behavior, start answering questions yourself. At least the ones you can. That is what I did. Got me modded in six months in THIS forum with one successful grow under my belt. I am unique among Trusted Cultivators. I don't grow often at all... but I help with the stuff I understand and answer the n00b questions over and over. Complaining will not fix the issue.

It is a cube from Ralph. For more info, ask him because he has said little more about the subject here.

LiL shop has it to and it was pretty potent fresh cant really speak of dry just bought my dehumidfier. Im enjoying Arcadian Coast off the pf tek right now, I think ive figured out the paranoia of it, if you take a mild dosage its all thinking, Although the AC's seem to be a pretty stubborn pinner after one week on consolidation. I let have of my batch sit for a extra week in the incubator, they plentyful and HUGE!

I only treid equadorian shrooms so far. They give me a kind of happy feeling with some slight visuals. I didn't take more than 2 gr dry yet so I don't know how it would be on higher doses.
I'm now growing Mckennai and Golden teacher and I will post later here if they are any different.
I tried a lot of different sclerotia, like dragons dynamite, white daimonds, golden teacher, cosmic connectors etc. But all trips were basically al different. I tried dragons dynamite en eq at the same time too but that gave me another trip too.

No rules, but no rules. Unless you're going to take the time to isolate on agar, I wouldn't really worry about specifics like that.
Get something that a lot of users don't seem to have, like a sclerotia producer. Then you can easily trade.
