not to rain on a parade
far from it
but
i wonder if what you are attempting
is even possible via the method you're using.

an all-white cubie is not necessarily an albino,
albinism is a genetic defect which may limit
your ability to get albinism AND good spore production.

but there are several strains that give that
suntop pattern we see in the pix above,
perhaps breeding for paler substrains
would be more productive
in getting where you want to go,
a strong vigorous all-white cubie.
non-albino.
maybe treasure coast could be crossed in,
i've seen many nearly white TCs over the years.
