Your favorite strain, why?
    #5973520 - 08/17/06 04:51 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

So far I've seen a post about everyone's least favorite strains, and reasons behind it. However, I know a lot of you have to have a favorite strain or species. Well, what is it, and what are your reasons?

I personally like Ban Hua Thanon (P. Cubensis). Its a very aggressive colonizer. The fruits tend to be small, but rather potent compared to other cubes (your typical for a Thai strain). It was the first strain I ever grew because it was such a fast colonizer, I figured it wouldn't be too likely to contam. It seemed like a good newbie strain.

I may possible be switching to tak mountain once the grow is done though... from what I've seen they appear to have abesolutely massive fruits, even if they're not very large flushes overall.

So, how about everyone else?

B+ because it tends to grow better than other strains I've tried.

B+

you can't mess with the classics. :smile:

medium to medium-fast colonization speed.  good potency, although seems to have more of a body feel than a visual one.

they fruit abundantly, grow larger than most, and are pretty resiliant.  6-8" inchers gladly pop out of 3" of substrate even with heavy pinsets, or even off cakes by a third flush (though you'll only get one that size per cake by a third flush!)  very good spore depositors.  i've made prints in as little as 2 hours when i was in a hurry.

something about them seems to make their appearance really diverse from grow to grow.  mixing up the substrates, changing up the environmental parameters, can give you anything from fat meaty shorter guys to very long skinny ones... anything from dark brown caps to very light tan... caps tend to take on a greenish tinge as they mature which is kind of neat... they blue a pretty color and if you pick them before the viels tear, the viel itself blues... its neat. :smile:

they're not the "best" in any one category, but they're "pretty good" all around and never done me wrong.

Ecuador is my favorite strain. Well since it was the first and only strain I tried and its worked out so well for me, I haven't felt the need to try any other cubes and I guess that makes it my fav. Good producer and none of my friends (all willing guinea pigs) had complaints about the potency. Just look at my signature you can't really argue with that, those are EQ's in the trays and next to the lighter.

speaking of B+, here's a 100g cluster of them picked moments ago. :smile:



ain't they pretty? :smile:  who wants to say that's not a wonderful strain!  my moma would be proud!

apparently the dimpled cap is genetic, they came from a clone with a dimpled cap and this whole batch has had them...

hmm lessee... B+, GT, EQ, Cambo, OI that i know for sure... an unknown strain from a homestead kit ('twas my first, and from what i've read think it might be amazon)... and another unknown strain from a friend (that was likely PF classic...)... so i guess thats, 7?  im by no means a spore whore but have dealt with enough to have an opinion :wink:

i like them all :thumbup: :smile:

ive only got B+ and GT on hand these days... and some old orissa in safe keeping with a friend that i really wanna get back from him some time soon. 

ive really been working on the B+ a lot in cycles of cloning->printing->cloning->printing thinking it somehow makes a difference as they get used to me and as i play god with natural selection... :wink:

roughly 45 to 50 of the mainstream strains ( cubes) . would have been through most of the ones available today, but i have no luck with the "oriental strains" ( pink buffalo, koh suma' those types ) so i gave up even trying to grow those..... i always get pittifully small and skinny shrooms from them, and im all about yield

Plus a few of the lost strains ( oaxicans(sp?) , watby nathen copes etc ).

i have done a lot of wild prints maybe 20-30 from donated sorces.. just nothing worth introducing to the community, excluding a JUMBO alabama shroom, that rivaled an orissa in size ( the print i had was as big as a LARGE saucer)
i do have a promissing wild australian strain tho, we'll see how that goes.


***EDIT ***

lol i read the thread and noticed CreamCorn Had been posting a lot too, lol if that was intended for me mustard man, sorry just used to friends calling me CC
