It's a cube that drops redspores... https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14207973#14207973

Redboy Redboy is a unique cube.
Redboy was a popular cube a few decades ago but it was thought by many to be long lost. RogerRabbit had an old print and used almost all his spores attempting to get it to germinate. It was simply too old. He had to resort to crossing Redboy with Puerto Rico and a little rattle snake venom. It worked. Here's the story in RogerRabbit's own words:
Quote: RogerRabbit said: After 20 years of sleeping, the RedBoy lives! A mycological Coup d'Etat had to be pulled off to get this mushroom back after 20 years. The spores would simply NOT germinate.
Monokaryotic Puerto Rico mycelium was allowed to crawl over the non-germinating original 20 year old redboy spores in a petri dish, resulting in a 50/50 cross between the redboy spores and the PR mycelium, without the original spores ever germinating, which they were no longer capable of after 20 years.
Rattlesnake venom was added to the agar after cooling to weaken both the cell walls of the spores, and the cell walls of the mycelium, allowing the nucleus from each to exchange genetic information between them. The experiment was duplicated with the offspring, resulting in a 75% pure strain, which was then released to the public.
The result is a 'cross' between the original UNgerminated redboy spores and a cubensis from Puerto Rico. Even though this is a cross,(NOT hybrid since it's two strains of the same species) you can clearly see the red color of the spores.
Enjoy.
Since it was crossed with regularly pigmented cube, Redboy does not always drop red spores. RogerRabbit once asked that people and vendors only trade and sell the RED spores... in order to help the Redboy remain true to its name. Perhaps RR has taken a softer stance recently, but... if people don't heed his advice, the burgundy colored spores the Redboy is famous for producing, may be lost forever. A real Redboy should come from a RED print. For now, you may need to clone or isolate. Vendors, are you listening?
Redboy's red spores are supposedly darker than PF Redspore. According to RogerRabbit, Redboy also, bruises green... which is pretty cool. Most cubes bruise blue.
A unique cube indeed. A lot of work went into bringing the Redboy back. Now, vendors and traders might have to do some work to keep it real... at least for the time being.

Dumb question but very lost on which Psilocybin spore to get... There are all kinds and i'm assuming some a harder to grow than others. Any help for a first time grower? Also, Will 1 syringe make 5 small mason jar cakes?
Ended up finding all answers to my questions.

All psilocybe cubensis spores will grow under the same parameters... some may colonize slower than others I.E. treasure coast or penis envy. However there are no differences in colonization temps or fruiting conditions or preferred substrates... a cube is a cube is a cube. also start reading man... best way to success. Not any one method to doing this.

haha yea, I agree. That's what makes this shit fun!
The hobby is abstract enough so that you can follow any of the simple teks any asshole could pull off, or you can get creative and try something new. once you get a few grows (edibles of course ) under your belt it gets much easier to apply what you know to other techniques.
And yeah, for the most part a cube is a cube. I assume this thread exists only for the discussion of the slight variations in appearance/colonization time and for n00bs to propagate bullshit about what they think about "strains".
on that note, anyone got anything good to say about "South American"?

SA was popular for LARGE fruits a few years back.
And yes, PE is from Columbia (most likely).

If by PE you mean Penis Envy, I'm pretty sure Terence McKenna developed that strain... saw the whole deal about it on The Hawkseye.

Well, I suppose that this depends...

What a terrible thing to be credited for. I would rather be known as the person who isolated the vagina.
There can only be one.

Nobody seems to know what kind of cube GT is or where it is from. There are only unconfirmed rumors. But, it is a cube.

hmm, about GT...
I love GT, possibly because it was one of my first but it is probably my choice cube ATM. always very thick white rhizomorphic myc which colonizes very steadily. I have also been experiencing a streak of good geentics with MS gt grows. spore print is a very light purple, almost pink color.
