APE pins with red caps? (Updated with Pics)

My APE shoebox began knotting up and pinning yesterday and when I looked at it today the pins were growing but they had reddish colored caps. Has anyone else experienced APE pins starting off looking like a regular cubensis before graduating into the greyish blue I frequently see here? This was directly from an MS syringe, but I thought pins would've at least been more white or cream colored? Either way I'm stoked because this looks promising.

I'm praying that they are a PE variety and my vendor didn't accidentally send me a run-of-the-mill cubie.

Definitely doesn't look like albino penis envy bro.. Maybe its just a freak occurrence that those shrooms grew that way, and not the vendors mistake. Either way super healthy and dense pinset, should be a sweet harvest

Yeah I do wonder too because the syringe was kinda clear, almost LI-ish looking (which is what I heard APE syringes look like), so when I saw the red caps it caught me by surprise.

With a MS grow the genetic possibilities are huge. Somewhere in that combination lies the code to red caps. Even if it is an Albino strain. The Albino was selected from a gene pool and I bet it still exist in there somewhere and you could totally selective breed it back to mostly red caps and get rid of the Albino trait for the most part.
We have all different breeds of dogs in the world today, which most came from just 300 years of selective breeding.

Not a shroomery vendor, just an internet acquaintance with a flow hood who I've been getting syringes from for a while. He has been super consistent with my orders so I am not pissed or anything. If it's not a PE variety I'm sure he'll toss me another APE syringe but I'm gonna let this one unfold and see if it turns into PE/PE6/etc...

If you get an APE syringe, the spores will be a translucent/cream colour. Most use swabs, since trying to make syringes with APE/PE is a bit difficult to make them clean(as clean as a syringe can be)

Yeah, that's what they looked like. I'll take a photo of the syringe in a few hours, I still have some of it left

There are some in the mix now, though, that have more golden/creamy looking caps.. We'll see what happens. I agree, though, I'd be blown away if this somehow ended up being APE, it for sure doesn't look the part.

Interesting..! Yeah my mind went there but I dismissed it as wishful thinking that something that dramatic would happen genetically.. But now you have me thinking over this again. The one thing I keep being confused about is how close to APE the syringe looked so I wonder...

Why are we seeing so many grows lately with mutated caps? I feel like this keeps coming up.

They’ll probably end up like regular PE. Hopefully you get some monsters in there.
