Re: Is there ANY scientific evidence that mentions the different cubensis strains? [Re: Alan Rockefeller] * 2

What comes to my mind when thinking about the question of strains in cubensis is the high variability in them.

One example:
Just recently i grew PF Red Spore and i had a single mushroom with a normal, straight stem appear. Its spores produced like 2/3 leucistic mushroom with a headache inducing variety in sizes, colours and shapes. Tiny mushroom, very large ones, flat caps, pointy caps, really thick caps, thin caps, semilanceata-like looking caps (very cool!), every shape you can imagine. There even was a single mushroom that reverted to violet spores! Unfortunately i couldn´t identify "the one", i only saw the spores on the ground.

So i would say Cubes are just highly variable and adaptable and as long as they stay that way and there is no genetic line that isn´t able to revert back to its "origins", i would say a cubensis is a cubensis is a cubensis. And for the most part that includes potency as well. When i tested a couple of "recent" strains against each other (GT, GH, GM, PFRS), i found that they were all pretty much the same strength (1,8-2,0%) and that substrate seems to be the key factor, not genetics. But there are exceptions of course. The old John Allen strain was substantially weaker (1,6%) and there is this Tidal Wave 2 thing (somewhere between 3,2% and 3,6%)...

That's an excellent observation. :thumbup: My question would be do they revert back to pure origins or is this simply phenotyping with some types resembling the parents? I lean a bit more towards phenotyping. I suppose sequencing will eventually answer that question with more work being done due to new legalities.

Another topic I find interesting in regards to a 'cube is a cube'.. and this would be more in regards to effect and phenotyping than a way to identify a strain, is terpenes and 'Entourage Effect'. Over the years this has been severely overlooked, but again recently we've been scratching the surface there as well.

And then there's the lesser known alkaloids to consider as well. One I've found particularly interesting is Aeruginascin.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/european-psychiatry/article/review-of-aeruginascin-and-potential-entourage-effect-in-hallucinogenic-mushrooms/F748BCD98EDD46D151AB336E2D2400FF

Pretty exciting time to be alive in the OMC for sure. So much to learn still.

Dr Alistair Mctaggart has done some interesting sequencing work:

(scroll down to the bottom)

I havent gotten around to looking through his publications. His blog is just an overview of his work i imagine.
