Best Mix for Bag Tek growing cubensis Cambodian

I spent some time doing some searching and never really found a specific question and answer dealing with the best mix for Cambodian's
Previous I've experienced great PF teks for Cambodians using BRF cakes and fruiting in Shotgun type apparatus, however I am curious now on the best substrate mix to put in a bag with WBS to cause a healthy spawn.
Presently, I have a working understanding of these two teks.
1. Rye berry (or wbs) IC in 1-qt jars 
2. Rye berry (wbs) bag method.
I am aware that Pan's cyans appear to do very well when grown with hpoo + verm + WBS ( dry) vegetable oil + kelp meal+ water (bag method).
I am seeking to understand two teks better employed for cams.
Does the above mixture also serve equally as well for the Cubensis Cambodian sunstrate?
What is the popular bulk grow tek for this?
My reason for asking is I find the Pan - cyans seem to flourish more rapid in the above substrate than the cams.

The reason being is that Cambodians are a VARIETY of Psilocybe cubensis and will work good with any method that works for Ps. cubensis.

What you want to do is SPAWN (your grain) to a bulk substrate mix. This will create a healthy bulk substrate, not healthy spawn. Spawn is what is used as your medium for the mycelium to grow on. I.E If you shredded BRF cakes to a bulk mix, the BRF cakes are your spawn. If you inoculate with grain, that is your spawn.

Pan. cyans are a different species of mushrooms all together. As stated above Cambodians are a variety of Ps. cubensis and will fruit well on any of the MANY methods used to grow cubes.
The simplest method for bulk substrate would be a Coir/Verm mix, search for Damion5050's Coir TEK. This will work well with cubensis. You can use manure, straw and many other things to grow cubes, but the easiest method to start with IMO would be a coir/verm mix.

Thank you so much EvilMushroom666
Actually that makes a great deal of sense to me now. I had noticed that the Psilocybe cubensis would grow quite well in wbs or in a jar or rye seed, and wondered why it seem to stalled compared with pans during the spawn bag tek as known by a many users including Helix and Agar.
Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.
Now I don't feel so bad having to toss out 15 spawn bags of hpoo and Cambodian failure.
I think I shall give the Damion tek a try.
I do find the Psilocybe cubensis - Cambodian a beautiful species.

Psilocybe is the Genus, cubensis is the species, and Cambodian is the variety
