Excellent advice! I would have never known that till it was too late.

And I've grown plenty of cubes. Those little guys will fight to grow on nearly anything. I even had a friend grow some on cigarette butts.

Crazy.

What I would consider to be essential:

Pressure cooker. The biggest one you can afford.
Tubs. At least one for a FC and one big-ass one for a SAB.
Flowhoods are invaluable if you have the cash.
Petris. Real ones.
Agar/LME or dextrose
Scalpel/blades
Torch
Jars
SFD's
Hole saw/drill
Big bag of grain
Coir
Big bag of verm
Lime
Thermometer
Alcohol
Spores/culture
Dehydrator
Polyfil
Parafilm
Tape

That should be enough to get you started the right way.

Im still unsure about the need for a dehydrator. I always fan dry cubes. But I'm unsure as to edibles and medicinal mushrooms. I was going to fan dry them as well but maybe a dehydrator is better. Any opinions on this?

as far as I know, its the same dang thing just takes longer. And less space usually unless you construct some kind of drying rack with fans or something.

IMO it's less crucial with edibles than it is with cubensis.  In most places fan dry isn't actually dry enough for storage, though.

Yep. Anything less than crispy is a recipe for funkiness.

Do dehydrators ruin cubes at all? Like do they use any heat?

Heat from dehydrator's is fine and recommended for most

Not using heat is more likely to ruin the cubes. Heat will not break down the actives until past 300 F whereas O2 will degrade your actives. So the longer they take to dry and get stored, the more possiblity that potency could be affected.

Like most people I crank my dehydrator to the max (mine goes to 165) so as to get the job done as quick as possible.

I know this is old but i thought its hilarious that ive had the exact opposite problem. ive only had success with popcorn and the one time i tried rye most of my jars didnt even show signs of growth... but i came to an amature conclusion that popcorn is friendly to spores and LC should be used with other grains such as rye lol.
