First Time Grow Plan, Advice Needed

Okay so after a good few weeks of reading I've decided to attempt to grow some mushrooms. Below is my plan and before I buy anything I have a few questions to ask. I want to make sure it will work and would like any advice and suggestions.
I decided to not use the PF tek, or any cake tek. Instead I want to attempt to use a bird seed substrate mainly because materials are easier to obtain and its slightly cheaper. I want to use Doc34`s Wild Bird Seed tek ( http://www.shroomery.org/9030/Doc34-s-Wild-Bird-Seed-Tek ) , which will bring me to the point where I have all the jars inoculated.
After this I'l allow them to colonise and wait a week.
Once the jars are ready for fruiting I want to use the shotgun tek for a terrarium ( http://www.shroomery.org/11432/Lets-Grow-Mushrooms-Pf-tek-videos video 3)
Once they are of appropriate size I will pick them off and dry them.
My questions are: 1)My first question is, would it be possible to use such a terrarium without using cakes, and if so will I just place all the contents of the jars right onto the perlite or will I cover the perlite with foil and place the contents on top? 2)I would like to use either a P.E.S.A or Puerto Rican strain spore because of they're apparent high potency. I've read a lot of arguments saying that no strain is supposedly more potent, that it all depends on growing technique and taking this into account my question is, is it possible to grow either of these using the method above and if so would it be worthwhile or would I be better of just getting a more common strain spore? 3)How much mushrooms in weight should I expect from a full 32l terrarium, I am aware it all depends growing technique, strain, etc. but an average approximation would do? 4)Any suggestions on how to improve?
Thanks in advance

I hate to tell you... But pf tek is for beginners.
Also, your going to need a pressure cooker.
And To answer your questions: 1. It is possible to use wbs in a sgfc. You need to make them into bulk trays. 2. Any Cubensis will be good, except penis envy and a.p.e. They are not recommended for beginners. 3. Final weight... Little to nothing your first try. Maybe a half ounce. 4.go PF TEK!

ive had decent luck spawning pints of wbs to pastuerized hay, the smaller square baking tins seem to work fine and I think youd enjoy running small casings continuously as opposed to one big one at a time
