gypsum salt? Is there a preference as to gypsum to buy and how much to use? Will it give a better yield?

Definitely.
And stay away from the honey.

You can get 80 pound bags of gypsum for $8 to $10 in most cities. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than ruining drywall. I usually buy it by the ton, but last time I was in Spokane, WA and needed gypsum, I bought two 80 pound bags because it was raining and I didn't want to haul a bulk load in my truck and have it get wet. They were $8 and some change each.
Leave honey out of substrates. It's anti-fungal. RR

Nurseries and, at times, big box store gardening centers. Alternatively, if you can't find it ground and bagged, it can be found sold simply as "Gypsum drywall" on the cheap at just about any hardware store that sells drywall. Just be sure it's the "100% gypsum drywall", just drywall and brown paper backing. Bust a piece of, toss it in a pillow case and take out all the day's frustrations on it. Use it at ~3-6%(i go with 5%) by volume in your substrate.

Why do they use honey for liquid cultures? I've even seen the advice, not to be cheap, and to use honey (not sugar) because it will worth it.

I made 24 BRF jars and I put a small amount of honey in two of them. The two jars I did that to took literally twice as long as my other 22 cakes. I waited 6 days after they appeared to be fully colonized before I birthed them. When I took them out I found that they were spots on top that didnt colonize. I cut those spots off and crumbled the them into some coir/Verm sub and threw it in a Tupperware. It's been colonizing for a few days and looks like its doing ok. Long story short, don't use honey. Use gypsum or maybe even karo if you have to try something risky/ new. Just not honey.
@RR I knew it was anti-bacterial but I didn know it was anti-fungal. Thx for the info.

You don't need anything extra in BRF cakes. They are plenty nutritious.

If I had to guess RRs answer to this it would be don't LC use G2G.
