cambodians
    #5298895 - 02/14/06 11:41 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

a friend of mine recenelty harvested some excellent looking cambodians. I've never had this strain before, but he's claiming they are a good deal more potent than many other strains. Is there any truth to this? I figured you guys in here would know.

Also, they have an extremely pungent smell. It's the typical mushroom smell, but really really strong.

I like cambodians, but they dont seem to be any stronger then any of the other strains that I've grown, mine did smell very strong after picking.
Have a good one mate.

No one strain of cubensis can be "a good deal more potent." You can have one specific fruit with a bit more psilocybin than another, or even a substrain that might be slightly more active, but an entire strain of cubensis will not be significantly more potent than another. The biggest factor in potency, other than mushroom species, is the substrate it's grown on.

I have found no real difference in potency when the same substrate is used for multiple strains. The only difference between strains are the trip characteristics. I have found Cambodians to be very visual and a fairly deep body buzz, at least for me.

I actually refuse to trip on these. They really made my body feel like I had aches and pains. The come up was also a lot faster and harder than any other strains I had tried. I stick with the Latin strains that seem to have a mild come up and is not so harsh on the body high.

Just my two cents.

Wronguy, do you have a theory as to how that could occur? The varying trips depending on strain I mean. In the few trips I've experienced, I did notice a difference between cambos and B+, but I just chalked it up to subjectivity and varying circumstances. I would just be interested to hear if you had any guess as to why it may be this way.

Thanks for the input, guys. My knowledge about strain potency was generally what you guys said.

I believe it was grown with perlite and brf.

My friend is an experienced grower/psycadelic user, and says he tried them and they were fantastic. I just tripped this weekended, so in two weeks when we take these, I'll let you know how it turns out, if I remember

Unfortunately, I don't have any theories. This is a real issue though. Every strain that I have tripped on have different trip characteristics, without exception. If there is a difference between regional mushroom strains I sure would like to hear an opinion on this.

there are always going to be certain characteristics of each strain and with the trip they provide.
but this sort of thing is externally affected by a MILLION things.
quality of the shrooms that were grown, quality of preservation or if they were eaten fresh...
and of course - set, setting, surrounding environment, your mood, anyone who may (or may not) be around you, etc.

the BEST way to judge the trip of a particular strain is to do the "pyramid dose" experiment.

set a day aside :smile:
eat a 1/2 gram and ride that out for a few hours.
later in the day, double dose.
continue to do so (and this doesnt have to be - nor would i ACTUALLY reccomend- that this is all done in ONE day) this will let you get adapted to the strain and then the nuances will become more defined when you are already expecting sertain things.

if that makes any sense.

i used to LOVE Cambodians, but the Thai strains are more of a Fav to me now. i'm really looking fwd to the Treasure Coast and Mexi-Cubs
i already have anxiety problems - shrooms that have a high-anxiety energy aren't always the best for me. but that's just me.

i'm like alot of ppl that grow.
i LOVE eating shrooms, but i don't like eating them very often anymore. nowadays its more fun for me to GROW than to TRIP. i'd rather spend the day getting high (mmm... pot) and working on my projects! :smile:

I feel the exact same way Krill, I don't think I could have said it better!

Sorry, I just had to comment on that.

In my personal opinion, the only real difference between strains and trip characteristics would be external factors.  As we all know, each trip is different and you will never have the exact same one twice.
 
Bearing this in mind, I think it is easier for someone to attribute differences to something like the strain of the mushroom, instead of the fact that everyone is so different in so many ways that we all trip in our own unique, individual style if you will...  What I mean by this is that I will never experience mushrooms in the same way you do, and you will never in the same way I do.  (sorry, I'm getting a little philosophical here)

  I've eaten countless different strains of mushrooms, may of them several different times and on several separate occasions.  Like I said before, every trip was different in some way or another and many of them had similarities as well.  I don't think these similarities and differences were that heavily influenced (if at all) by strain.  I think that it was always external and personal factors (ie. Set, Setting, mood, etc...).

But....I could just as easily be wrong as this is only my personal opinion and don't have any real evidence to back this up.  I just wanted to ramble

Take it easy everyone  :thumbup:
