Newpala21 said: ok so i was wondering what strains r more potent than others. im looking for some that are meaty and have high potency/visuals. i did some searching and havent found anything that would help me in my desicion making. im looking to get some more and i just wanted to get some general opinions on what u guys think or even a link that has this kinda info would help.
All your questions have already been answered thoroughly in this very thread. Perhaps read the first 100 or so posts before asking another common question. You may not like the answer, but it is in here.

How do you tell if it's potent without eating it?

You clone it first then eat it.
Well, actually, since it's hard to tell potency by eating a single fruit, what you do is you clone several fruits and grow a cake/tray/whatever of each. Then harvest them and eat them, and when you have found a potent strain you grow that one.

Damion5050 said: A Cube is A Cube is A Cube.. What does that mean.. Means all of them can have the same potency.. This is something u can't judge buy sub-strain it is all genetic.. So no matter if you are growing F+ or Texas or EQ.. One is not more potent than the other.. Just grow a sub-strain fruit it and clone a potent fruit body that is how you get potency by cloning or isolating a potent fruit body..
how can u tell if a fruit is more potent than the next if it all depends on a single fruit. is it by the size of the fruit, or the mass of the gills? .. Thought the only way to know how potent they r is by munching on one or is there something im missing here

The only way to tell how potent it is, is to eat it that's it.. Nothing else will answer that question..

Yeah more or less pick a decent size fruit clone it then eat it.. If it was good keep the clone and use that if not get rid of it and try again..

How do you keep the clone sample fresh while waiting to see if it's good can you freeze it or something?

Make an LC out of it or use it on an agar plate..

yeah but your best bet is to make a quick karo lc and throw it in there that way you have a viable LC to use instead of waiting an extra 2 weeks..

Agar is the best option. It is more reliable than lc and it is easy to store several substrains. Also, unlike lc you really see how fast, strong and beautiful your substrains are.
Newbies tend to overlook agar because it sounds more complicated than it actually is.
However this is the STRAIN thread, not the cloning thread. You'll find better info elsewhere.

Exactly. There is only one thread for strain discussion in this forum... so it is best to stay on topic. Of course, I go off topic too. 1000+ posts... sheesh!

thanx man... well i have a question. how durable is penis envy to its environment. is it very sensitive to a slight change of climate? or is it relatively easy to grow. hit me back on that. im doing all kinds of research and trying to make the best decisions to meet my needs. fast productity, medium sized shroomies. potency is a big concern of mine as well. i just want it all to be right

Perhaps you should also look into a sclerotia producer... like Mexicana A.
It sounds like you are looking for a super strain. You want something that is the perfect size, super fast and extra potent. If there was a strain like that, it'd be all over these boards. Nature is imperfect. IF you want a super strain you have to isolate it yourself on agar.
Good luck and have fun.
