Cubes a cube??? Right

I need some advice i have heard the phrase of a cube is a cube but yet why the hell then are their the same species of P.cubesis if their are different strains? I am currently colonizing 3 Pf style cakes of the orissa india strain and i have been told that this strain does terribly on cakes. but then again why would it if its a cube? I here that, So what then would be my best shot of fruiting these puppies ex: SGFC,CASING guess, bulk? I dont have any more syringes right now and i dont want to mess these jars up without atleast acheving to get a spore print from them which is why im kind of worried about making a casing becasue last time i tried with Malabar and it didnt work it just colonised and never fruited (Bad genetics im guessing, WYO) .I will eventually move on to bulk probably starting with the orginal PF strain/PE/ or Ecuadorian from LSOP because they have awsome service and supplies but this wont be till summer.So if you guys can please give me some advice or comments that will help it would be nice. I cant afford to mess this one up! Any comments that know about growing Oi from Pf cakes would be really nice. Basically i want to know everything or anything about this strain(family)/ anything that has to do with this topic;
Thanks to any help from all you guys here on the shroomery
Edit_ DOCT please dont be a noobie hater and leave a post that is nothing but a waste of space everyone knows you grow a ton with your bulk tek. i will follow that once i get my training wheels and when i have prints for days! Or when i buy some new syringes. Im not even in your game let alone on your level
Ohh and Lil shop is the bomb

The phrase a cubes a cube means that if you follow one generic tek, you should get results, Some strains prefer different conditions, but again, a cubes a cube, One mistake i made was trying so hard to find a foolproof tek for my specific strain, however i later discovered that my tek was already foolproof and i just had to find the right strain for me!

Don't believe that BS. OI or any other strain will do fine on cakes. You can obviously improve results with a good isolate or clone, but you should still get a decent harvest from multispore.
Any type of humidified terrarium that maintains near 100% humidity will work. My first grow I used a 10 gallon aquarium with about 4 inches of wet perlite on the bottom and a garbage bag for a lid. I lifted the "lid" once or twice a day when I had time to hand fan it (no misting) and it worked beautifully.
Here's a fruiting chamber for you:
  
Once you have a fully colonized cake, it's pretty damn hard to screw anything up from there. Hell, if you leave cakes in the jars they'll fruit. Keep it simple, have patience and don't make things more complicated than they have to be.

This thread should help.
Basically, the "strains" have been named for, a: the location or region where that particular cube was originally found, or b: a marketing ploy to help sell more to the less informed. Sure, you may see different potencies and physical appearances from different "strains", but that has more to do with the genetic lottery that is multispore, or simply your own growing conditions/variables, rather than the "strain" itself.
Also, listen to FooMan, he knows what's up!

But that does NOT correlate with the name on the syringe. For cultivation purposes, a cube is a cube.

Do you open and fan the Slurpee or just leave it as is?
