Who Created the Strain Thred?

I know RR started the current thread... but the info in the second post is SO OLD!!!
Magician26??? Who is he?
Isn't it time for a more specific guide to cube strains...
Most of these descriptions are either debatable, or outdated.
How 'bout a history of each strain... pictures, links and info about where each was found, and who was the first to release it to the public?
We've been using roughly the same strain guide since I was a n00b.

Oy, do YOU know where any of them started?!?!? So shut up! Jk, I agree, the descriptions are pretty much either pulled from a vendor or hasnt changed at all since anyones really been a noob. I dont know if we can specifically get the info of where each strain came from or what ever as anyone can claim 'i did it' and i dont think/know if there is any record of the person who got to do this but SOMETHING must be done. Maybe a pic cultivated by a member for each one? Any genetic tendencies that are significant (works good on bulk, terrible on pf tek kinda thing)? What ever, we'll have to band together to make this shit work and I GUESS that means SOME BODY should make a new strain so we can add it to the list so we can have some specifics Come on 'Traneski Sunrise', you fruitin yet? (YKWYA)!

I can tell you where Penis Envy started... and about Orissa India's discovery... and how PF Albino came to be... and... oh Hell, a lot of this info has been LOST, but if we do a good job here, we should have info on MANY MANY strains... date of discovery,where they were first found, who discovered them, who was the first vendor to sell them, distinguishing characteristics... we could do a lot better.

I'd love to make a new sub-strain. I have a master culture of myc. of texas stain in a glass vial with a plyfill stopper in my fridge now. I took it from my Texas mono tub grow so hopefully, it's good fruiting because I'll knock up a bunch of jars with it and print the mushrooms that I like the most and TRY to make a syringe so I can inoculate jars with it and NOT contam it, but select a new fruit to clone that has the specified traits. That seem about right? Figured that 7th generation or so would be good place to call it complete for a while till some new mutations come about.

Radical.
You know, I actually went into the strain thread today, and someone in there had the good idea of a strain related forum/sub-forum. Do you agree that that would alleviate a lot of the outdatedness, unanswered questions, and unwieldiness of the current situation? Or would it just become another place to answer the same questions, time and time again?
By the way, Cervantes, thank Don for all his mexicana posts. They are awesome.

Strains have such a little bearing on the product you end up getting, talk of them is mostly wasted keystrokes. However, so many new mushroom growers come from weed growing where strain is everything, we keep the strain thread up there for them. If not for the strain thread, at least 25% of our total posts would be about strains. There used to be four or five strain threads on every page and all it does is clutter up the forum and waste bandwidth.
What we do is whenever the strain thread gets too full, such as now, we dump it and start another. If everyone is in agreement to shitcan the current one, I can dump it in a day or two, and open a fresh one. Save anything you consider worth saving before it goes away.
However, don't hold out hopes. A brand new strain thread will soon look just like the old one, which is the third or fourth generation.
A subforum would just make people think that strains actually meant something. The truth is, when two hyphae from spores meet and exchange genetic information, a strain is born. Sometimes thousands of strains are born from a single squirt of spore solution, thus the name on the syringe often means little.
A few strains have beeen fairly well stabilized by mycologists, but consider that the fancier the name, the less likely it is to be anything else but some marketing trick someone made up. RR

If the strain thread was sum how organized by A-Z and general questions it would make it more efficient... just a thought, sorry to bother

Why dont we have a permanent stickied (The defacto) AND locked strain thread and one that is perpetuated by members so Mods can update the thread themselves with current/true information. Once some info has been established for some strains, it can be updated in say a month or so if any new substantial info is given that could be included. Heck, maybe a member could do something. Can mods lock a persons journal and still allow ONE user to edit it? Something of THAT nature would be cool. Then again, if stain means nothing, then why do strains perform a bit dif.ly? (PF classic being slow as all hell and Cambodians/Hawaiians being fast?

Because people will still have the threads such as "What strain is TEH BEST and give me MOST Kilograms!??!!!1" or "EQ sucks because It NO GROW!!" or even "I JUST CREATED A NEW STRAIN OMFG GUYz!!!" So that is why it's not stickied and locked. Because stupid people would still create stupid threads if you don't shuttle them off somewhere .

Yeah, no kidding... n00bs will be n00bs... people have been asking which cube is the best since the dawn of time.
Still, this is at the very least, interesting stuff. Each cube strain IS different. They all have different histories. The origins of different types of cubes make great stories.
As long as MIND SET has as much to do with tripping as potency, the more info we can add about each type of cube, the better.

b+ is the best strain. it is a hybrid of azurescens and cubes. That is what mr.g said

Thank you for making my point so beautifully. PF classic used to be one of my favorites, with nice large meaty fruits, cambodians were weak and small, and there is NO Hawaii cubensis. Cubensis is not native to the islands.
That's why discussion of strains is lame, and relegated to the noob closet. There are LOT'S of factors that are important in growing, so to be a viable source of information, we try to provide information on those factors, and strain simply doesn't happen to be one of them. It seems that every guy who finds a new cow patch with a cube on it takes a print and claims a new strain. Jeez, what makes a cube from farmer bills pasture any different from a cube on farmer john's pasture?
Oh, and tahoe, you know what mr g can do. 8=======D RR

haha!! I love the pf fatass strain. I have a print that is about ten years old from the fatass strain. You might remember my "germinating old prints" thread. If I were to grow cubes on cakes it wouldbe the fatass.
As for mr g, Not many people here remember that name.
