Mexican Albino's

Klinnband · 10-08-05, 13:25

Well Here is the one that the name is a misnomer. JK but yeah the pics are not the best in the world but They offer nobody high at all... Strickly a visual trip and one of the more interesting strains that I have eaten. So yeah enjoy as I did..

10-08-05, 13:38

I'm really enjoying your pix Klinnband!!!!

I like your baking sheet of perlite, great idea for cakes. I was wondering, do you fruit your cakes with the casings? I find cakes do better in as close to 100% humidity chamber, whereas, my cased substrates perform better at lower RH like 90%. You can maybe consider using that perlite pan in the bottom of the GH for your cakes, then keep your casings up and away at a different RH from the cakes. I only say that because I noticed how wet your casings looked. But of course I could be totally mistaken and off course lol. Tell a little about set up if you feel comfortable doing so.

I can't believe this thread has sat this long with no other responses! Come on team let's pic up the slack! Hup Hup Hup Hup!.........

Yes Klinn, do tell. I love seeing your mexican pics! Brings back memories

Hippie3 · 10-08-05, 16:58

the strain name is no mere 'mis-naming'
but out-right falsehood.

This is true. Klinn, perhaps it would be better if your'e future posts regarding this strain were to refer to it as Mexican or Mexi-Cub which is what I believe it is that you have. PF carried the Mexi-Cub for a few years. It can produce very light and often sterile specimens. But Albino means devoid of pigment or color. I know that white is a color, but a true albino fruiting body is comprised of translucent fibers that reflect the dominant color in the light spectrum. White. Put them under a black light and they will turn purple with the dominant spectrum. I will be posting some albino pics soon where one can actually see thru the translucent cap.

Sterility being it's own animal and has nothing to to at all with "albino". For some reason though there is this huge misconception that Albino also means sterile.

Anyway, I don't mean to tell you how to post but please keep in mind there will be future generations coming here that will search using the word albino. We have a responsibility to them to keep history in it's correct place.

Thanks for sharing with us

and keep up the good work!

Mexi-cubs are a different strain than this mexican 'albino'.
I'm not sure who named them albinos, but thats their name.

it's only their name if we accept it.
i re-named pf's strain the pfc or classic and it stuck.
i say we do the same in this case,
re-name it.
perhaps mexi suntops would be more accurate

BennyBlanco · 10-08-05, 19:20

I worked with this strain and imo it was a waste of my time.... deffinatly mis-leading I was very un-happy with it

very nice.

10-08-05, 19:53

I have a mex-cub print and a mex albino marked print. I'm guessing that if I did a side by side the fruits would appear very similar.

I agree about a rename, because as Chosen One said, there is a true albino strain and it could cause some confusion.

I like the mexi-suntops......like those pix shobimono showed of them.
Other suggestions;
mexican saucers
mexican lights
mexican blondes
mexican mexican
mexican gold

BennyBlanco · 10-08-05, 21:24

Nice pic btw

I like mexican gold

10-08-05, 22:29

i love growin any mexican strain..
imo they are all acceptable growing wise
and high wise..

sinthetic · 10-09-05, 00:57

Should add a poll to this thread, what to name the malbino to.

Hippie3 · 10-09-05, 19:14

not a bad idea

shobimono · 10-09-05, 20:24

Have a poll and then send it to ************************************, cuz thats who originally named and offered them (and also to Ralpster cuz he sells them now)

Hippie3 · 10-10-05, 08:30

ralph might listen,
dunno about 101, still stuck on the shit list.

Klinnband · 10-10-05, 13:06

lets just name it the loco Mexicana

the_chosen_one · 10-10-05, 13:08

I like the Mexi-Suntop name from Hippie!

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh or start any conflicts. As a long time cultivator of the albino I've found it a bit frustrating when searching for info regarding it. So many are mis-informed when it comes to this truly unique var.

I really care about this community a lot. I'm sure anything we can do to keep the admins jobs a little easier is much appreciated.

Klinn, I really do enjoy your'e posts and I hope I have not offended you in any way. If you are interested in albino's just PM me and I'll hook you up. The more people that take interest the better!

Keep up the good work and peace to everyone!

10-10-05, 13:19

i got a mexi-cub print once, from ralphster's I believe, and made a lc. Almost all of the fruits were very white from this substrain. Not long after that is when Ralph started offering the Mex-Albino. I would think that if you got a multi-spore print/syringe from these you would likely get a strain that is not so white seeing as how what I got came from a standard mexi-cub.

BTW, I love Mexi-cubs. Def one of my fav strains.

Klinnband · 10-10-05, 13:22

The set up for the cakes is a brown rice flower that was put on a sheet pan of perlite. Then I took a old racking system and rapped it in 2mm plastic to allow the humidity to build. For when the cakes were done collinizing I used DEC to keep the cakes as moist as possible. I think wide mouth half pints work better then narrow mouth half pints in this experence. Then wide mouth allow for faster collinization and quicker fruiting. The moisture content in the narrow half pints tend to build at the bottom so the majority of the fruits end up at the bottom of the cake. But if you transfer the cake in to a tray with a vermiculite casing, moisture is well distributed through out the cake and you end up with even fruiting except for the occasional fruit that is under the cake. But other than that it is a strait forward setup with an easy strain to be successful.

Klinnband · 10-10-05, 13:24

P.S Yellow snow is bad very very bad

GardenGnome · 10-10-05, 13:42

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of "Mexican Halos"...I know that isnt one of the options, but hey...just my 2c

Hippie3 · 10-10-05, 18:04

lol
we can't open it up to everyone's pet name,
each would get 1 vote
i see the defacto nomenclature among the traders
is already "malbino"

that's our general consensus as well.

panic · 10-10-05, 21:01

i voted suntop, although mexi gold was in close. mexi gold reminds me of weed like in cheech and chongs acapulco gold "no stems no seeds that u dont neeeeed......acapulco gold is badaaaasssss weeeeed"

10-11-05, 20:39

lol
mex albino, malbino, pretty much the same - just contracted

speaking of cheech
how bout bleached cheech? lol

the_chosen_one · 10-11-05, 21:05

Where is the smiley for foot in my mouth?

In order to keep the info accurate and in it's correct place

I must admit I left out a detail in my know it all post

.

There is also a certain degree of molecular reflection as well. Caused by the collection of minerals, water and chemicals. Otherwise the little shits would be invisible.

Thus concludes this tutorial on the reactions between photons and fungi.

Stepping down off my podium now and going away..............................=)

Not nearly as dumb as I am arrogant and pompous! Nice pics Klinnband!

You are not dumb at all!!! Breeding and naming in this hobby has always been very sensitive.

Hippie3 · 10-15-05, 11:15

suntops have a very slight edge it seems.

Klinnband · 10-15-05, 12:57

Here is a couple more

It's both. Damn trich anyway!

Also just caught the meaning of Klinns calling himself a dumb ass. Sorry was working out of e-mail notis and wasn't subscribed to the other thread.

Look who's the dumbass now!

10-15-05, 19:56

anyone remember who first started the mexcub albino . because i cloned the shit out of the mexcub i got from raplhsters . after awhile they started to go white and i started cloning for that look only .after awhile the prints whould almost always give the albino are near albino look from mspore . it was on the old board and I cant seem to find the thread . psillypj and a few others got some spores from me and im sure he at least knows what im talking about . .
later VII

the cat in the hat · 12-09-05, 16:11

I've heard this can be a very visual strain. What do you guys think of the trip it makes?

perrch01 · 12-10-05, 00:27

I think it is about the same as all the others cubes, the difference is in you and your setting.

viraljimmy · 12-10-05, 02:01

I like mexican golds.

P4ulada · 10-22-09, 20:45

Hey, sorry about the late question, but somebody heard something about this strains this times? I really want it - I can trade a print (I have a good list of them)

P4ulada · 10-24-09, 13:42

Dead Poll =/

Sorry, but are mex suntop and mex albino the same strain?

By the way...suntop is better hehe it´s not a real albino!
