First attempt

Hey everyone, I have questions about my first attempt here.
I'm gonna go with the PF tek first, see how things go and get all the things I need to know down. With this, I see some people crumble down their cakes and case them, is this something someone new should be attempting?

if you don't have a pressure cooker but you really don't want to do cakes then you can do that.
but if you are worried about yeild then that is not a good reason to want to do a casing. it isn't easier

I've searched everywhere for some Rye Berries in my area, but they are unavailable unfortunately, and I'm trying to limit my transactions over the net. Do you have another suggestion? I see many people having success with WBS. That is def. available to me.

Yeah, I already did all that man. I promise you, I haven't found anything in my area. Tractor Supply, Home Depot, Lowes, Wally World... nothing. =\ which sucks 'cause I know how successful it has been for people.

LoL I haven't got to start them yet, I was just wondering if the whole casing is something a noob should attempt on his first try. It wouldn't affect my yield?

no reason to case cubes. just spawn a few cakes to some coir and you'll be delighted at the outcome

If I did happen to find some Rye Berries, then casing would be essential? I think I just found a location that carries it, which I will be calling tomorrow.

Rye berries can be found in most health food store. If they aren't out on the shelves in the store, then I'm sure they would be more than happy to order you a bag.
RGS or rye grass seed is probably even more widely available and definitely cheaper. Literally every hardware store or garden center should carry grass seed.
If you have a pressure cooker, then grain (berries or grass seed) is the best way to go. Once you have your colonized grain, the best thing is to spawn it to one of the common bulk substrates. Casing straight grain or crumbled PF cakes just isn't worth it.

depends what species you're growing. casing is not neccessary for cubensis regardless. some say casing doesn't make a difference and some say it helps... but it's not enough for it to be the standard.

I must be dumb... There is a difference between Rye Berries and RGS? They have looked identical to me. LOL!

Very misleading, then... :P

i guess i shouldn't have said the "same thing" but they do look and work very similar. the berries would be the superior but can be hard to find locally for some (like myself). many who can find them get them from health stores because they are used in foods. rgs is the seed used to plant grass so for that you could check gardening and hardware stores. many times it won't be labeled as RYE GRASS SEED so you have to read the labels carefully and make sure rye is there.
