so ive heard this phrase for years and for the most part, believe it, but why is PE an exception? what makes PE any dif from any other cube? i have grown PE a few times and i know they are different, but they are also a cube.

you could say im cubefused...

Yeah, thats right...

PE is still a cube, but PEs are more potent. If you have grown them, then you know that I'm sure.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I think I remember, some scientist dude engineered the PE to be a fast colonizing and super potent strain of cubensis.


PE is a cube high on meth.

Well, saying something is a mutant is saying that it has different DNA.  We're all genetic organisms, so I'd never acknowledge something is a mutant and say, "that's it?"  I mean, saying it's a mutant is really just another way of saying it's fundamentally different than all the other cubes.

In this case, what people mean to say is that it has a mutation that causes differences in the shape and size of the mushroom, potency, its fruiting pattern and other aspects of its behavior.  Since all of these arose at once, and since they all seem to breed true, this means that it's most likely to be a single mutation at a very basic level that affects nearly everything about this mushroom, rather than a cosmetic issue like the stripes that occur with varying boldness in P. galindoi.  Survivors of mutations on this level are hard to find, making such finds exceptionally rare.  That's why people don't (yet) say, "Cubes are cubes are cubes...except penis envy and <other mutant>."

Since I've came back to these forums it seems a lot of people say PE is more potent than other cubes. The amount of testimonials from people on here makes me want to try and get a print on these and try them for myself. Can't wait until I can join the marketplace

You've been here long enough, just make some posts and you could be in the marketplace in a couple days.


But... you gotta be able to mess with agar if you want to mess with PEs

Nice. And as far as your comment about needing to do agar for PE why is that? You can't just make a syringe or lc and innoc from there?

You can make an LC (which is fraught with failure), also PE and variants of it do not drop spores. As explained to me last week, the GMO that is PE caps to not open enough to sporulate. So with agar you can make clones from tissue samples or swab the gill to get the spores.

Most sporeprints aren't done in sterile conditions, and most fruiting chambers aren't sterile either.  You will have contaminants in a sporeprint, and agar is the best way to isolate from these by far.

Not really. Agar is not difficult and the beauty of it is that it you fuck up a transfer and get a contam, just transfer away from the contam. Agar is pretty much the only way to guarantee a clean inoculate because you can see if its contamed before you use it. Its also great to clone, and also can be used to isolate monoculture's.

The best thing is that once you find some genetics you like, you can keep them going forever in a slant. That means all your grows from those genetics will share similar traits in terms of colonizing speed, potency, etc.  Once you start with agar you will never look back.

truth once you go PE you never go back... The main reason of needing to know agar to use PE, is because it's hard to get a spore print from PE. Hard, not impossible, though. I have gotten a couple successful prints, but it is rare.

You can cotton swab a PE, but the cotton is much more prone to contaminants than foil is, so making a spore syringe from a swab is a bad idea because 90% of the time it contams.


Agar isn't hard though, just another somethin something to learn and it's a good skill to have as well....

You need to sterilize your swabs in a jar in your PC.  Then after taking the spore swab, you need to let the swab dry in a still-air box for 48 hours or so. This will reduce contams significantly.

I honestly go PE from time to time but I love the variation of all different genetics. Plus I can get better yields more consistently with less work using other varieties :shrug:
