The Goodspore and a General Strain Q's

StopDropnRoll · 09-22-08, 18:34

So I heard hillbilly had an accident and I don't want to bug him about this, so I figure some of his customers would know the answers to a couple questions. First, I assume he sends everything in a small regular package with no indication of what's on it, am I right? Second, does anybody know if the monthly special is still 5 strains of your choice? I plan to place an order and be patient and let him to get around to it when he can. His prices are great.
As to strains: What is PE 6? I'd like to try growing Penis Envy for the novelty of it, is PE 6 just a sub-substrain? What I saw of it didn't seem much like PE.
I was thinking I'd do invitro except for 1 jar of each strain to get prints/clones. From what I gathered from research is that it doesn't really matter which strain, but that Texan, B+, and Hillbilly are particularly good. Any other suggestions? I was thinking Golden Teacher, Z strain, or a 2nd texan.

Thanks, and I hope I didn't ask anything that was easily answerable by looking around more.

PE6 is a penis variety. It's a normal capped peni.
Penis envy looks like cock.
Penis envy uncut looks like cock with a foreskin.
PE6 looks like a normal shroom and is supposed to.

As to which strains do good invitro, if you're doing invitro jars, any strain, if you're doing invitro growbags, then some strains don't like the excess co2 that can build up.

You're secondary strain is a matter of preference.

mestophilies · 09-22-08, 18:48

yes he does package very discreetly.
Z strain from all accounts is very fast and prolific.
Good LUck!

Well if there is no novelty-factor then I won't get it. I'm doing jars of WBS, by the way. If they're all the same, should I just go with the fastest colonizer? I read that Z-strain is lightning fast.

mestophilies · 09-22-08, 18:58

WBS doesn't really do well invitro. You need to go with cakes for that. But yeah Z strain is sick fast. My friends dog is getting ready to start a z strain grow if it comes out clean

hyphaenation · 09-22-08, 19:03

Hillbilly's strain ... Hillbilly is very good.

StopDropnRoll · 09-22-08, 20:29

Ouch I didn't know that, thanks for the tip. I just didn't know if LGBR is sold at my local supermarkets, Shaw's and Stop and Shop. Guess I should reconsider. I guess I have a new question, is G2G possible from WBS to grain? I'd like to use the WBS that I already have, would it be possible to make a few small jars of it, then just G2G to LGBR/verm mix?

btw
nothing wrong with wbs-
no grain works well by itself
whether invitro or cased or in cakes.
all grain needs to be mixed with water-absorbant materials
like vermiculite, coir, peat, compost, etc.
to fruit well.

Check out my grows, tons of pics.

Spawning to poo is the way to go IMO.

Good Luck!

StopDropnRoll · 09-23-08, 16:05

Oh, I didn't know that. I looked at a few WBS teks and didn't see anything about mixing it. I've got verm with no other use, will adding it make a good substrate? Is there a tek to this anywhere? I can't find one. And unfortunately bulk substrate isn't an option right now..

Dude just rerad the archives............all the knowledge is there

And if u click on the link i posted, in the first post there is a mink to my BRF cake grow with pics

mestophilies · 09-23-08, 18:02

Ok bro, question for you. Have you ever done BRF cakes at all?
If not I would say you need to take about three steps back and start there. Your grocery store almost certainly sells Brown Rice. If all else fails get uncle bens shit. Buy a cheap-ass coffee grinder and go to town. As with all things in life you need to crawl before you walk and walk before you run. To me it seems your trying to crawl and then jump up and outrun jesse owens (shit I'm old I know who he was!). And no offense but you haven't really read the archives if you only found a couple of WBS teks. Do like I did, spend a couple of weeks reading nothing but the archives. LOTS of great info there.

Not trying to flame ya, and if I offended you I cry mercy and forgiveness, but in this hobby patience and reading will serve you well.

StopDropnRoll · 09-23-08, 19:04

That link really has nothing to do with what I'm doing other than it uses jars, and I just looked through the WBS vaults again and I don't see anything about invitro, so I guess I should just wait until I can find LGBR?

mestophilies · 09-23-08, 19:21

Dude do you have a hell mart? look in the rice and potato isle. It is there.

StopDropnRoll · 09-23-08, 22:35

I didn't notice your post, anyways:
I'll check more places, I just wanted to see if I could do WBS instead. I've read most of whats on shroomery (non-forums) and most of the New Archives here (at least the parts that have to do with what I'm planning on doing) and probably all of the Old Vault (for the parts that have anything to do with what I'm doing). Yes, I have tried BRF cakes but they didn't work out so well. What I meant wasn't that I'd only read a few WBS teks but that I looked back at a few of the ones I had bookmarked and I searched the site for WBS and vermiculite, and I saw only a few teks that mentioned the two.

Santiago · 09-23-08, 22:48

Not to put words in Hippie's mouth (or on his fingers? dunno), but I think he meant that you can grind up wild bird seed and use it like PF tek, instead of brown rice?

SDnR, I'd say that if you've had bad luck with PF tek, that's not a reason to not use it. PF tek is easy, and if you follow the directions precisely, I believe you will have good results.

Whatever grain (be it WBS, brown rice), good luck!

StopDropnRoll · 09-24-08, 15:39

I don't attribute the bad luck to the tek, but I don't have any brown rice and I have a lot of WBS so I wanted to try that. But because of the possible delay in shipping from hillbilly I guess I'll just look around more for brown rice and a new coffee grinder.

mestophilies · 09-24-08, 16:41

Good luck!
