Which Strain Is Best for Me?

Choosing the right strain is more than simply picking a name. It is about knowing what kind of experience you are hoping to create, what you are capable of handling in your grow, and how much patience you want to invest. At More Than Spores we believe in honesty over hype and results over promises. Every culture we sell is clean, consistent, and backed by years of proven reputation in the mycology community.

When you ask yourself which strain is best, it helps to first think about your expectations. Some growers are drawn to strong visuals and dreamlike imagery. Others are searching for deeper spirituality, meaningful introspection, or an uplifting social experience. Many simply want reliability, something that colonizes quickly, produces heavy flushes, and removes the guesswork. And of course, there are those who chase rarity, difficulty, and the thrill of pulling off a grow that others avoid. The strain you choose should reflect what you want out of the journey.

Our Top Shelf strains represent the foundation of successful cultivation. These are battle tested genetics that perform consistently, colonize aggressively, and reward both beginners and experts with high yields and dependable results. Golden Teacher remains a cornerstone of this category, known for its balance of gentle visuals and spiritual depth. B+ has become famous for vibrant, pixel-like visuals and a versatile, euphoric experience, while also being one of the easiest and fastest strains to grow. Matias Romero is cherished for its spiritual qualities and calming, insightful nature, offering growers a steady and consistent option. PES Amazonian brings energetic and uplifting effects with bright visuals, paired with quick colonization and heavy yields. Flying Saucers are stimulating and cerebral with clean, vibrant visuals that keep growers excited from start to finish. Blue Meanies are more potent and bring highly intense visuals and deep introspection, while Liberty Caps are legendary in their reputation for spiritual and profound experiences, although they are difficult to grow and less productive.

On the other side of the spectrum sit the Specialty strains, also known as the Good Luck category. These strains are notoriously temperamental. They colonize slowly, contaminate more easily, and often test the patience of even seasoned growers. Yet they continue to attract those who crave a challenge or those who are chasing experiences that are as powerful as they are rare. Penis Envy has become legendary for its extreme potency and profound introspection, producing results that many consider unmatched despite the slower colonization. Albino Penis Envy is even stronger, with deeply transformative experiences and overwhelming visuals, a strain that feels more like a trophy once successfully grown. Jedi Mind Fuck rounds out this category with colorful, cerebral, euphoric effects, demanding attention from growers while rewarding them with a head-warping potency that makes it memorable.
