Sticking with one variety and tek 1

So.....this hobby is so fun! There are so many different teks, so many different varieties of mushrooms. Wildly varying opinions about the "Right" way of doing things.
I have only been cultivating for a few months now. But in that time, I have managed to acquire numerous varieties of mushroom spores, and have since inoculated many jars of popcorn with these various varieties, like Amazonian, B+, Golden Teacher, A+.... So far the Amazonian's have absolutely been my most successful. Super fast to colonize the popcorn, super fast to colonize the substrate in my monotubs, and super fast to fruit. I just now am finally beginning to get a somewhat acceptable flush from my first B+ tub. And it is fascinating how different the B+ is growing compared to the Amazonian. My goal is to get my Golden Teacher spawn jars to fully colonize finally so I can inoculate some more tubs with those ones.
All of this experimenting has left me with a realization. That while it is fun and fascinating to experiment with all of these different varieties, and see how they grow differently and such.....it is also nice to just stick with one tek, and one variety that you are familiar with, and know grows well and become an expert at that. I've always been the kind of person to be a jill of all trades, but master of none. And this irritates me about myself. Ha ha.
I would say that I need to just stick with the Amazonian's since that works so well for me.........However....I'm not so sure the Amazonian's are the mushroom for me as far as effect upon consumption. I am an extremely visual person and one of my absolute favorite effects of mushrooms is the effect on my vision and making colors stand out, and things come alive and move. However.....I have yet to experience any real changes to my vision on these Amazonian's. I had acquired some unknown variety from a friend, and those most certainly gave me amazing visuals and geometric patterns and things. But my Amazonian's just make me sleepy and feel weak. They do have the ability to make me have a serious level 5 trip when I take upwards of 8 grams of them. Are they just really weak or what? I don't take any other medications, so nothing should be competing for seratonin receptors in my brain.
So anyway......my point is...I'm feeling like I might want to narrow my teks down to just one tried and trusted method, AND thinking I want to master one variety before moving onto others, but am trying to decide which variety I should focus on. Between my Golden Teacher, B+ and A+, which one would you more experienced growers decide to put that majority of your efforts toward? I am hoping that maybe a different variety will give me the visual experience I love so much that seems to be lacking in the Amazonian's. Of course maybe it is just me and my body simply not susceptible to the psilocybin in that way. Although like I said, the dried mushrooms I acquired from a friend which were probably either Golden Teacher or B+, most certainly affected my vision very early on.

I think sticking with one grow method is the right decision but all the different varieties should do well enough in the same conditions.
I did a ton of shoeboxes until I had them down before moving to bigger tubs, but grew like ten kinds in that time span.
Do you have a+ or aa+??
Aa+ was high yielding for me and it’s a favorite with the people i give my shrooms to.
Golden Teacher has gotten a unanimous “ehh” so far but I also know people who love them and I really only did a couple grows so it’s prob weak genetics.

Using multispore and not a clone, you are going to get mixed potency, sizes, etc in your mushrooms.
If your looking for uniformity in genetics like potency for example, you should look into cloning

Ive been growing PF Tek since 2007, and I feel like Ive mastered it. Its a really nice feeling to master something. Its a comforting feeling.
Im currently African Transkei only cause I love the effects so much. Plus they look pretty cool when they grow:

Cloning is where it’s at.. it feels good to know that a flush that’s coming in is going to have good potency because you’re running a certain clone. Potency can vary from fruit to fruit in a clone too, but there’s definitely an average you can count on in most cases.

What’s up with the transkei logic??
Are they strong or just have the type of vibe you like?
Don’t see them very often.

Potent by weight, spiritual/magical trips, Philosophical. I love em. Whats funny is that PsilocybinJunkie agreed on his Journal Entry! I read his Journal after trying African Transkei myself. Independently-verified.
Try them out, they are wonderful

Well that sounds like a good combo.
Do you happen to have a print?? I’ve got a bunch to trade if you want.
PSMM if you’re doing bigger grows clones and g2g can help a lot. I started out making a plate for every jar I needed until I eventually tried g2g. It’s awesome.

Most of my prints are on petri dishes. However, I am using tin foil inside the dishes right now. So Im currently printing as we speak.

Thank you so much everyone for the replies! I've been doing agar for the past couple months, and have some really good isolated super clean strains of Golden Teacher, and Amazonian that I cloned growing on agar right now with some really nice rhyzomorphic growth. So I think the next step would be inoculate some jars with these super clean isolated strains and then go from there. My previous tubs I think were inoculated with multi spore, however the one I harvested 80 dried grams of Amazonian's out of the other day, I'm pretty sure was from isolated strains on agar before going into the tub. And that was a very nice uniform, full flush. The first one I had seen. So I can see how beneficial isolation is! Inoculating jars with multispore syringes is just so inferior!
That is good to know too about the potency. Those mushrooms I had to consume 8 grams of in order to get where I wanted to, I think were from multi spore and are the mushrooms in my current signature pics that came in very sparse, but really big and were just super weak I think. Instead of 90 percent water, I think they were more like 95 percent water. I'm curious to try the ones from my really good tub that gave me a full flush of dense, more normal sized mushrooms that look very different even though they are from the same original Amazonian spores.
