I mix em sometimes.
occasionally I wont label, so I just throw them together.
it's all the same deal. cubensis are cubensis.
It's like a game. don't know what you got till you got it.

mycelium is always fighting for dominance.
every spore injection contains lots of substrains each one will fight and possible consume others or live with it.
one side of a casing can do well while another does poorly. one side had a winning substrain that fruited really well the other side had a winning substrain that doesn't fruit so well. you'll have this with mixing strains or not.
the only way to avoid it is to clone or isolate substrains.
I really do do this quite often. sometimes on accident soemtimes because there is some left over here and there sometimes because I forgot to label.
never had a problem

i would do 3 smaller hpoo spawns with about 2 jars per spawn to lower your chance of them being diff.

It won't hurt anything, as they're the same species. By the way, strains don't 'fight' among themselves. RR

Correct, there is no "dominant" species. If you mix X number of type A and type B in say 50 containers, you'll end up with 25 of each + - some. All comes down to whichever genes are expressed. It just uses the existing mycelium network. Interestingly enough I did something similar when I grew weed - you can graft one top of a plant to another root set, so I'd use an established rootset to speed nutrient delivery. Frankenstein pot plants!

a friend just told me if 2 strains are added they will fight until one wins and the winner will be so tired from the fight it will flush like shit

THEY DO NOT FIGHT lol they can either be compatible and connect and share nutes or the can be incompatible and not connect no biggie its the same thing when you do a multispore inoculation
