A couple of years ago a friend of mine used the basic PF tek to grow Golden Teachers. We had a pretty good run on that one. If I remember right he was able to get three full flushes out of them before they quit. Pretty decent quality too. I'd recommend starting there. I'd also be interested in seeing what a bulk tek with Golden Teachers would produce too. Happy mushrooming friend!

hmmm...welll... a cube is a cube is a cube, as they say mayn. 'cept p.e. which never made sense to me, becuz p.e. is a cube, so if a cube is a cube thats fine, but if theres an exception there could be others....so a cube ISN'T a cube, so y do they say they r?
cuz, Fg, the growth parameters r all the same. G.T.'s will do the same in a bulk application as any cube you've seen here.

k so on second thought you're right. Don't know what I was thinking before but a cube is a cube, as you say. The bulk params would have to be the same for any other. I just started my first grow using PF tek, but I did some research after reading your post and I'm starting to think the next thing I'll do is a bulk with B+. We shall see!

We say 'cubes are cubes', not because they're all the same, but because every grow is different, regardless of the name on the print. The 'names' are irrelevant.
Use the brf tek and you'll succeed on your very first try if you follow the instructions to the letter and don't cut corners. RR

I have always thought the 'cubes are cubes' thing was a way of debunking differences between cube'strains'(not isolated substrains but vendor strains)offered by vendors; your definition of the saying, referring to the variety that a multispore grow will yield, makes much more sense. The way the 'a cube is a cube' thing gets thrown around by some of the people on the boards here,(that I can see now don't know what the saying means) can be very misleading.
Personally I have seen very different macroscopic features on cube varities or 'strains' e.g. Malabar (veils never break) vs. Puerto Rican (standard veil breakage, definitive aerial rhizomorphic mycelium that looks spiky [I know this a common trait of cube mycelium, however almost every pic of Puerto Ricans I've seen has this}, and slow fruiting, like P.E.) and a more 'standard' cube variety like Golden Teachers (normal veil breakage, normal (fast) fruiting speed.) To a noob, trying to learn about the subtle differences between cube 'strans' and where he should start (e.g. P.E. isn't the best for a first attempt) hearing someone with thousands of posts say 'a cube is a cube' pick one you like, they're all the same, can be very misleading.
Thanks for clearing that one up, RR.

Bulk is best! I skipped PF altogether and I'm incredibly grateful. While I still made PF 1/2 pints for the first experience, and think it's beneficial in learning the sterile process, incubation, etc.. I prefer some weight, and I'm impatient. They ended up crumbled in a mono. IMO, THE way to go.

Saying cubes are cubes is like saying dogs are dogs. Yeah they all bark and smell asses.but some are big some are small, some are black some are white, some bite some lick. Just like with cubes some colonize fast some are slow some are white some are brown some fruit fast some slow...if you don't belive me take two different types of cubes and grow them side by side and tell me if they grow identical in every aspect..IMO
