>>2591413I tried to make a ghetto cross via mixed spawn of a typical cube and ape, it basically didnt work beside a couple of retarded mutants that popped up during like the 4th flush, so I cloned those tards. Its highly unstable and puts out a really weird first flush and then all the subsequent flushes look like normal cubes. Some tubs come out with the stripes completely solid like that one pic and others were very hollow like abnormally hollow then most standard cubes. Picrel is one of the tubs that look like meaty fruits but were hollow as fuck so I didn't bother keeping that culture, they also seem to be either sterile or very very low spore producing. I still have a slant and took swabs from the tub that gave me the 298g monster, so ill try and stabilize it eventually
>>2591415I wonder if it's even possible to truly stabilize freak grows. A lot of the time when I see someone posting a monster its usually only 1 or a few that pop up, but never a whole tub, at least from what I've seen. I think to get like a full canopy of monsters like that you'd have to have a very high sub ratio and then stabilize each generation with the same sub amount to the point where it can only perform well with lots of sub
>>2591544Better to expand the cloned tissue into lc. Spores to lc is never a good idea and not because spores are inherently dirty (since you can clean it up on agar) but because you don't know how well the spore culture will perform yet until you grow mushrooms with it. Standard practice is clones>LC. What are you planning to do btw? You gonna grow some indoors or what?
