APE221 (Albino Penis Envy) — Cloud920® Ready-to-Grow Bag
APE221 is a faster, more reliable isolation of Albino Penis Envy — same snow-white appearance, same ★★★★★★ (6/6) potency, but pins in 2–4 weeks instead of the 5–7 weeks classic APE demands. For experienced growers who don't want to wait.
Availability: In stock on Apr 2, 2026
APE221 is Albino Penis Envy without the wait. Classic APE is legendary for its potency — but also notorious for being painfully slow, contamination-prone, and unforgiving to anyone without serious cultivation experience. APE221 is a refined isolation that keeps the full 6/6 potency of APE while colonising significantly faster and fruiting more reliably. If you want the hardest-hitting cubensis available without babysitting your grow for two months, this is it.
Part of the Cloud920® Genetic Series — Heritage Series
Origin & Genetics
Albino Penis Envy traces back to Terence McKenna's original Penis Envy genetics from the 1970s — itself one of the most potent cubensis strains ever found. The albino mutation was later stabilised by Sporeworks, producing the snow-white, dense fruit bodies that made APE a cult classic. The problem? Classic APE is notoriously slow. Grain colonisation alone takes 3–4 weeks, fruiting can stretch past 6 weeks, and every extra day is another day the substrate is exposed to contamination risk. APE221 was selected specifically to solve this bottleneck — an isolation that retains the full genetic profile and potency of APE while cutting the colonisation timeline down significantly. The mycelium is more aggressive, the pins appear sooner, and the overall time from setup to harvest is closer to what you'd expect from a standard cubensis — not the weeks-long marathon that classic APE demands.
Penis Envy, Albino Penis Envy, or APE221?
All three share the same legendary Penis Envy lineage, but they grow and perform very differently:
| Penis Envy | Albino Penis Envy (classic) | APE221 ✦ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Original mutation | Leucistic mutation of PE | Refined APE isolation |
| Appearance | Tan/brown, thick phallic stems, bulbous caps | Snow-white, dense, caps rarely open | Snow-white, dense, same APE morphology |
| Potency | ★★★★★☆ (5/6) | ★★★★★★ (6/6) | ★★★★★★ (6/6) |
| Colonisation speed | Slow (3–4 weeks grain) | Very slow (4+ weeks grain) | Faster — more aggressive mycelium |
| Time to first pins | 4–6 weeks | 5–7 weeks | 2–4 weeks |
| Contamination risk | High — slow growth = more exposure | Very high | Reduced — faster colonisation closes the window |
The key difference comes down to speed versus risk. Classic APE takes so long to colonise that every extra week is another week bacteria or mould can take hold — which is why APE has a reputation for being "expert only." APE221 solves this by colonising more aggressively, which means fewer days the substrate sits vulnerable. You get the same snow-white, dense fruit bodies and the same top-tier potency, but without the two-month waiting game that makes classic APE so frustrating.
Why Choose APE221?
- Strength: ★★★★★★ (6/6) — full APE potency, no compromise. This is a maximum-strength cubensis. Start low at 1–1.5g, even if you're experienced with other strains.
- Faster than classic APE — first pins typically appear within 2–4 weeks instead of the 5–7 weeks you'd wait with standard Albino Penis Envy. The Cloud920 bag does the rest.
- Lower contamination risk — faster colonisation means less time the substrate is exposed. The sealed Cloud920 bag with integrated micron filters adds another layer of protection.
- Recommended for experienced growers — not because it's hard to grow in the Cloud920 bag, but because the potency demands respect. Know your dose.
What's in the Box
- 1x Cloud920 Grow Bag — 2000cc pre-colonised substrate with active APE221 mycelium. Integrated micron filters provide passive air exchange and contamination protection.
- 1x Large bag clip — to seal the bag securely between ventilation sessions.
- 1x Rubber band — place around the substrate block to prevent unwanted side growth.
How the Cloud920 Grow Bag Works
- Open once — fold the bag open in a clean space to allow fresh air in and trigger pinning.
- Place and wait — put the bag in indirect light at 23°C. No soaking, no misting required in the first phase.
- Air daily from week 2 — briefly open and refold the bag once a day to encourage pin development.
- Harvest and repeat — twist and pull mushrooms at the base before caps

- Easy and quick to grow Review by Steven

This was my first time growing the APE strain. As usual great service. Quick delivery, easy to prepare. Once I set everything up I noticed some growth after a week. 3 weeks in total I had my first flush. Great potency, not the biggest yield for numbers but these mushrooms are huge. Definitely worth buying. I will be buying them again. (Posted on 3/14/2026)Rating - Unbelievable Review by Zak

6 bags ordered, every single bag gave at least one mushroom 200g +, couldn’t be happier, didn’t even have to manually fan, set and forget (Posted on 3/9/2026)Rating - Great ! Review by Jinn

-
I have to admit to not doing the proper research before choosing the strain to do my very first attempt at growing mushrooms. Had I, I would have chosen golden teacher, apparently an almost fool proof type. So I set up my APE grow bag and thought I've only myself to blame.Rating
To my utter delight I saw my first genuine mushroom on Saturday. It's probably only a week over the instructions say, considering it's winter, it's been great.
As much as I wish I could take the credit, I was just along for the ride and pretty much just drenched myself and everything in the room with disinfectant. The real credit should go to the guys at the Magic Mushroom Shop for providing me with an excellent product.
Yet again, I'm a satisfied customer. Cheers guys (Posted on 2/23/2026) - Albino Review by Ivana

Amazing potent, nice grow. a bit slower but worth it.. (Posted on 2/12/2026)Rating - wave after wave Review by sir lazy
-
first off, they are always professional and quick in getting the package delivered to you so props for that.Rating
The kit grew unexpectedly fast, in a bit more than a couple of weeks i had a nice flush.
Reguarding the intensity i wasn’t too impressed
but that may not be due to the shrooms themselves.
anyway they were fairly intense, and most surprisingly they lasted for very long, wave after wave i just kept feeling higher, in fact i was was worried it would not end.
the bodily sensation was of relaxation and calm.
i was very pleased.
a nice and long trip, with some music to accompany me.
8/10 would recommend.
please do not underestimate them
treat them always with kindness and reverence. (Posted on 2/11/2026) - Healthy and reliable APE221 grow bag producing strong yields with no issues. Review by Miguel
-
I’m really impressed with the Albino Penis Envy (APE221) Cloud920® XL Ready-to-Grow bag. The culture looks extremely healthy, with fast and even growth throughout. It’s producing beautifully with no issues so far — strong yields and vibrant mycelium all around. Definitely one of the most reliable grow bags I’ve used.

The kit is growing beautifully white-blueish colors, it has 2-3 very large mushrooms.Rating
I am yet to experience the potency of it. (Posted on 12/25/2025) - Good 1st flush Review by Simon D
-
The 1st flush pinning started on day 13 and I harvested on day 18. I expected pinning to start later than this as APE is characterised by slow growth. The use of a grow mat encouraged early pinning. The 1st flush yielded 17g cracker dry. This was the first time I have grown APE and I was happy with both the growth cycle and the yield. (Posted on 12/19/2025)Rating - 10 Review by Paul

-
Very powerful kit! Two flushes gave a total of 490 g fresh yield so far! The substrate still looks full of life, so I’m now waiting for the third flush. It clearly prefers a cooler environment — mine has been kept steadily at 20.5–21°C.Rating
Highly recommended! (Posted on 12/6/2025) - Giants Review by Dom

First yield was only 3 fruits but their huge size totalled 500g.looking forward to buying another kit in the future. (Posted on 12/4/2025)Rating
