First Time Grower. Which Strain Should I Choose? * 1
    #15185925 - 10/06/11 10:59 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

Hello everyone, just looking for some advice once again.
I finally decided to give growing mushrooms a shot.
I've been searching around and I found 4 strains of interest.

1. Z Strain
2. Thai Lipa Tai
3. Equador Strain
4. Orrisa India Strain

Anyone have experience with these strains?
This will be my first time growing, so I'm looking for the easiest/best beginner strain.

Any cube is beginner friendly. They are all the same species, just found in different locations. So they are all just as easy to grow.

B+ seems to be a good first timer. I did golden teacher for my first grow I think, it went well.

Like above said, there is almost no difference

Ya the only exception to differences in strains of cubes is PE. All cubes have pretty much the same features. It's just random genetics from multispore grows that makes each strain look "different" IMO

There will always be different genetics and varying features even with 1 strain as long as its a multispore culture you're working with. Like said above, different strains just come from different areas.

I personally think its a gimmick the spore vendors do so that you order more instead of just one syringe which is plenty enough of what you need to multiply and isolate a good ps. cubensis culture.

I personally would order 1 PE syringe and ask for an extra free spore syringe in the comments box, and that you're a member of the shroomery. That's all you'll need. Then get some agar and isolate both of em for many nice hardy grows of good genetics. You'll see how random multispore can be at times :rolleyes:

Pick one of the vendors/sponsors from here http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php. They are all good, and wouldn't be here if they weren't. They also help make this site possible by being a sponsor. Most if not all of those sponsors carry those "strains". If you want feedback on one of them vendors check out the shroomery sponsors forum.

The easiest thing to grow is probably sclerotia, not very exciting grow wise but very simple.

The PE & free syringe he mentioned was from www.sporeworks.com who are a class act and in the game for years.
