@ShLUbY - Thanks for the info about the microscope. The cool one my daughter gave me has auto brightness on the LEDs and it has stopped working. Why couldn't they have just had a manual control for the brightness!!!?
My daughter wants to start growing mushrooms and requested a kit for her birthday - any suggestions for a beginner? Or a good book on growing them.
As for the Cheese - sorry for your loss. It seems to happen too often. I try to cross the special plants with a good male just to preserve the genetics in seed form.
A note about the Cookies and Chem. All of these super frosty plants are mutants selected for resin production. The breeders sacrifice vigor and health for resin, terpene, color, and other considerations.
I have found that if you cross these mutants with a highly vigorous strain you can get the best of both worlds.
The landrace African, Mexican, and Asian strains all seem to possess an abundance of vigor along with some other magic.
Cheers,
Mo
