help me choose a strain
    #19417218 - 01/14/14 12:46 PM (11 years, 5 days ago)

Hej guys I'm new to these forums and 1st off all I'd like to say hello to everyone!

As you've most likely already noticed English isn't my mother tongue so please be polite! :smile:

So heres my matter of concern -> I've tried mushrooms for the 1st time about 3 months ago and immediately fell in love <3, but since it's pretty hard getting some where I live (im not into hunting) me and a buddy decided to get a growbox. But since I don't have anything comparison I can't tell which are strong/weak. I've stepped upon "Golden Teacher" & "Penis Envy" and thought they'd be good from reading  customer reviews.. but I'm not totally sure about them so I'd like to ask the community about it. What do you think I should buy and why?


Thanks in advance <3


peace (Y)

get psilocybe cubensis, any variety you want just pick they're all psilocybe cubensis. PE may be an exception, some people find it harder to grow on PF cakes and easier to grow on bulk substrates and the albino varieties.

Pick any cubensis strain from one of this websites spore sponsors. BESIDES Penis Envy. Alll cubensis strains are basically the same, potency wise, besides Penis Envy generally being a little stronger, but is not recommended for a first time grow because they don't perform that well with the PF TEK method. ANY Cubensis strain will do, golden teacher, amazon etc.

thank you for your advice guys, I followed it and got me a golden teacher box. :smile:

But I could need some more help. So I got the box let it grow and after 1,5 weeks first pins appear within 3 days they grew pretty huge but I'm not sure wether I should harvest them or not. Problem is I can't send you pictures yet but some of them start opening their hats (maybe 3-4) should I keep them some longer in the box or harvest what do you say?

Oh and theres one more problem, I think humidity was too high that's why theres small white stains on some. Are they still good? should I ventilate some air to them or just harvest and dry? or could that be mold in the worst case?


Thanks in advance

If they are big and the caps are opening go ahead and pick them.

Dry them if you wish or eat them now.

That is why you grew them right.

Check in another forum on how to eat them.

The white stuff is probably just tufts of white on the caps which is normal in high humidity environments which is what you want.

All these mushrooms have tufts, they tend do lose the tufts when they get drier or are grown in drier air and it depends on the variety.  Some have more some have less.
