Beautiful strains of cubes...

A few strains of some wonderful cubes grown by a good friend of mine....Best fungus I've come across, I do have to say....1 gram dry weight and you are good to say the least.


26 gram Mexican Dutch King (Approx. 2.5 grams dry)

Treasure Coast Caps (Closed caps, picked at PEAK production of goodness)

Albino A+ Cubes (By far the most potent, almost frighteningly potent)

Nice pics and strains, Treasure coast have given me some mighty fine trips too. I can't help but notice your locale, a good buddy of mine is a rebel alum. We actually went down there for the Texas-Ole Miss game last year and ate ecuadorians afterwards and went to the casinos in Tunica, fun times, lol. Not a rebel fan myself but got much love and respect for the grove, one of the best and most unique tailgating experiences I have ever had. Hotty Toddy.

That's all my buddy, man...

I grow da herb. Da medicine. This laboratory funky scientist shit...that's all my friend. Lol.

In all honesty..I stick to simple plant science. I just thought these specimens were special to say the least!! Great myco work!!

Yeh, I LOLed until I ate a .8 treat and peeled.

I'm not saying if you eat 3 grams you will need to go to the psych ward (although it's a distinct possibility). I'm saying if you eat 3 grams, you will wish you hadn't.

And I was just like you before I met my buddy that grows these. I was like "Pshh, bullshit. 1 gram my ass"

Maybe you'll come across something this special one day...

A cube is a cube.

Potency is about the same with every "Strain" of cubes.


Of course this excludes PE.

Yeh that's a common misconception. A cube is not a cube is not a cube. Each and every specimen is unique. I've had Penis Envy, it's a wonderful mutation, but it's not nearly the most potent strain I've ever had. A cube is a cube, just like cannabis is cannabis, and apples are apples, and dogs are dogs - It's a terrible simplification of a wonderfully complex life form. The way you grow them, feed them, and take care of them, often lead to different results, as well as different alkaloid levels. Not to mention, different strains of cubes naturally contain different levels of psychoactive alkaloids.





You should understand, at least on a biological level, that different varieties of cubensis have evolved for years, each developing its own unique mechanisms for survival, and with those mechanisms also come material make up. Molecular matter. Chemical constituents.

I have said this many times, even started threads about it? I can tell all trips are unique, yet so many people don't seem too.

This is something we all want to believe, however, the reason pot is as varied as it is, is because of the dozen or so different, interreacting and synergetic compounds, most p. cubensis has no such variety. while I am sure that potency can be varied by different methods of growth, until we at least begin to understand WHY the mushroom creates these seratogenic materials we will have trouble manipulating their production. I have found slightly differenc characters between one mushroom and another but rarely enough to make a true distinction.

You should research the psychoactive alkaloids that p. cubensis produces...psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin.

When these alkaloid levels differ, so do the interactions with the tryptamines. It is proven that these alkaloids present themselves at different levels in different varieties.

Correct, that is three, one of which is seriously degraded in drying. If you want to talk about other varieties than cubensis then you have a very valid point but having experienced many of the cubensis I have found very little if any variation between them.

Are you referring to Psilocin? Unless you are drying your shrooms in an oven over 340 degrees Fahrenheit there is no chemical breakdown. I dry mine in a dehydrator without any potency lost.

Refer to the hyperlink.


And I know there is no potency lost because they are they same as if I were air dry them for two days.

Never the less, both chemicals result in the same one after being ingested. M point is that to an extent you may be right but for the most part - two or even three chemicals are likely incapable of imparting to the mushroom significant changes in personality. One can claim that one has a bit more body high, one has more visuals, one is more cerebral, one is more introspective but logic and science (so far) tends to rule that out. Again, I have eaten various strains many many times and a "cerebral" strain may be a body high strain the next time I eat it, or the time after that. I will admit however that we don't know all the modifying substance in each mushroom and there may be moderating or attenuating chemcials we are not aware of.

It is simply anecdotal.
