What is Tidal Wave?
Tidal Wave is a B+ × Penis Envy hybrid that won the 2021 Psilocybin Cup. Its famous 3.82% total-tryptamine record was a single non-sporulating Enigma-mutant fruit, not the average — typical Tidal Wave tests around 0.87% psilocybin / 1.17% total and swings widely. It is the unstable line whose 'blob' mutants gave rise to Enigma.
Potency — measured vs. reported
Lab-measured: typical ~1.17% total; record 3.82% (a single Enigma-mutant fruit).
Reliable lab data exists for only a handful of strains. We separate lab-measured values from community claims and don't inflate — growing conditions affect potency more than the strain name.
