Can you tell which variety a cubensis is just by looking at it?

this makes no sense to me, as they all look the same.

Could anybody actually tell if a cube is amazonian or Z or B+ just by seeing it? :callingbullshit:

There's no such thing as strains like B+, etc. It's just a marketing thing.

obviously i give a fuck..

HOW can you tell half the time? there's just no way in my mind that that's possible.

I mean, people have a hard enough time properly identifying what species it is FFS.

Please explain to me, how do you tell?

There is no way to tell because "strains" don't exist. It's all P. Cubensis, no difference.

Easy. If you want me to tell you if it is Z Strain or B+, I have a 50/50 chance of guessing correctly.

It's difficult to tell for sure but there are many strains (variants) that have fairly characteristic features. Like PE and APE. Then there are rust spore producers, dwarf varieties, ones that have pointy caps. Most of them look pretty generic, but some should be pretty easy to pick out.

There are very few strains that are distinct enough to tell apart. Shit like Malabar is pretty distinctive though.

Quite a few cubes are unique looking.

PE, obviously. The albinos. AA+. The Redspores. But even KS and KSSS tend to be small, short and fat. You would have a better than average chance of knowing a Koh Samui when you saw it. Menace Strain tends to produce a wavy cap during its third flush.

Some "Strains" have very subtle but unique characteristics that make them easier than average to pick out. SAT often has a light flesh tone and a uniquely rounded cap. Malabar has a pretty unique cap and its veil takes an etra long time to break.

Often it is easier to guess the region the cube originated. South American cubes tend to be large. Asian Pacific cubes tend to be small.

The density and color of the spore print can also help direct your guess...

But it really is just a guessing game. You can only hope to slightly improve your odds of guessing right, unless the cube is showing obvious, undeniable traits.
