Hey, I'm a first time Cubensis cultivator, I've outdoor cultivated subs before but never indoor with cubes. I'm about to buy a liquid culture syringe and I need some advice on what strain to buy. My options are: Golden teacher, Mexican, B+ or Burma. I'd like a brief description of which is most suitable and why. Sorry if this is a nooby question but its my first crack at cubes.

First of all, selling active liquid cultures is illegal.
What u would be getting would be a multispore syringe, and i suggest u get it from one of our SPONSORS.
And, cubes are cubes, with the exception of the P.E family, they all contain actives.

If it was a vendor that said that. Odd's are that it's not a Shroomery Sponsor. Be careful where you order from, 1. You'll get ripped off and 2. Even if they do send it, it's probably not made properly and not aseptic/sterile.

Correct, sans the P.E. exception.

Brazilian.. people will tell you a cube is a cube is a cube but in my experiences with many different strains, I have found there are small differences. Brazilian is extremely resistant to contams, a fast colonizer, and prolific fruiter. Of course this may be argued but Brazil is the only strain I can literally take no serious sterile procedures and expect healthy fruits. Golden teacher are very nice too!! Very potent.

Yeah P.Cubensis is THE strain. Of course just like the difference between Whites, Blacks, and Mexicans we all have our own characteristics. But when it comes down to it we all have the same plumbing.
Which is why we refer to them as Varieties.
Brazil's are awesome, super fast colonizers. Epic trip.

Incorrect. Potency, substrate preference, speed in growth, contam resistance etc does not differ between "strains" as you put it. When you're dealing with MS inoculation you're getting thousands of strains. A "strain" is a pairing of two compatible hyphae. Each spore that germinates = 1 hyphae. All of this has been proven time and time again and it's all there to read if you use the search function.
You were lucky and had a nice grow and attributed that to the name that slapped on your spores.

This thread has been closed.
Reason: Please keep strain related questions and posts to the Strain Discussion thread stickied at the top of the forums. Also Aus. is VERY anal about importing spores or any biological organisms for that matter, chances are a syringe will get stopped at customs.
