True Albino Teacher — Cloud920® Ready-to-Grow Bag

True Albino Teacher is the strain that started it all — a pure albino mutation of the Golden Teacher, isolated by mycologist Jik Fibs after a year of meticulous cloning. If Golden Teacher is the professor, TAT is the one who wrote the textbook. More potent, completely white, and the genetic parent of over 30 exotic strains including Jack Frost.

Part of the Cloud920® Genetic Series — Heritage Series

Origin & Genetics

The story starts with five albino fruit bodies appearing unexpectedly in a regular Golden Teacher grow. Jik Fibs, a well-known mycologist on the Shroomery forum, took clones and spore swabs from those five anomalies and spent the next year stabilising the genetics. It took three consecutive generations of full albino canopies before he was satisfied the mutation was locked in. The result is a true albino — not leucistic (partially pigment-free), but completely without pigmentation. Compared to its parent, TAT produces denser fruit bodies, bruises a deeper blue, and delivers noticeably stronger effects. It's no coincidence that TAT became the foundation for some of the most sought-after modern hybrids, including Jack Frost (TAT × APE) and Yeti.

Golden Teacher, Albino Golden Teacher, or True Albino Teacher?

These three names get mixed up constantly — and it matters, because they're not the same strain. They all share the same ancestor, but the genetics, the appearance, and the potency are different. Here's how to tell them apart:

The quickest way to tell them apart: check the spores. Albino Golden Teacher still drops dark spores — it's leucistic, meaning the pigment is reduced but not gone. True Albino Teacher produces clear, almost invisible spores because the pigment pathway is completely shut off. That's the difference between a dimmer switch turned low and the power being cut entirely.

If you've grown Golden Teachers before and want the next step up in both potency and rarity, TAT is the direct upgrade — same lineage, same forgiving temperament, but noticeably stronger and visually unlike anything else in the Golden Teacher family.

Why Choose True Albino Teacher?

• Strength: ★★★★★☆ (5/6) — a clear step up from Golden Teacher. More potent, more visual, more introspective. Start at 1.5–2g if you're used to regular Golden Teachers.
• True albino genetics — completely pigment-free fruit bodies that bruise deep blue. This is not a leucistic variant — TAT is the real deal, verified through three generations of stable albino canopies.
• Proven parent strain — TAT has fathered over 30 exotic strains. When breeders need a reliable, potent albino base, this is what they reach for.
• Forgiving to grow — despite its rare genetics, TAT behaves well in the Cloud920 bag. Expect generous flushes with minimal fuss, making it accessible for growers who want something special without expert-level difficulty.

What's in the Box

• 1x Cloud920 Grow Bag — 2000cc pre-colonised substrate with active True Albino Teacher 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 open fully. Rehydrate and repeat for additional flushes.
