Done first grow... next steps?!

Hi all,
I recently completed my first PF Tek grow, making cubes. Lost a few jars due to contams but ended up with just over 1 ounce dried. I was pretty satisfied. Now that I know the process well, I'm thinking of making a better SAB and starting another grow.
My question is: what should I do as a next step after PF Tek that will give a better yield? I have seen mention of monotubs, etc. What is something that I can realistically achieve now? I also need to be a bit stealthy about it, so anything that smells like is a no go.
Welcoming all suggestions, thanks

well now you master the pf tek... think about a few this..
Cost effective: brf costs $5 a pound.. instead use ground wbs flour($7 for 20lb)
make your own spore syringes
try out agar
try grains
try a monotub

well either you grind it down and use a 2verm:1wbsflour:1water ratio.(No pc needed)
or you use wbs alone with a GE filter. (PC needed) http://www.shroomery.org/9032/6T-WBS-Tek-Wild-Bird-Seed-Bulk-Spawn-Preparation-Method

I've made two of my own spore prints and still have a syringe left over that I wanna use soon! Cool, will look into that stuff.

Thanks. Seen WBS tossed around quite a bit. Will look into that.
Also worth mentioning I prefer not to use a PC if possible... I know I should get one for more advanced techniques. We'll see how it goes.

I'd say move on to a monotub like others are suggesting. Wbs is the way to go! At least thats what ive moved onto since pf tek

Spore Print > Agar > Sector 6-8 Clean Growths > Sector Again >
Agar Sector Wedges into 6-8 Quarts > Each Quart into Eight - Twelve More
66 Qt Tub Gets 8 Quarts with 16-24 Quarts Sub * Coir Verm Gypsum * Properly Pasturized
Let colonize, consolidate, pin -
Pick best fruiter, most potent, largest pinset, ect qualities -
Use as Main Culture from heron out.
Isolate again from clone, keeping in mind through the whole process you may isolate bad sectors ( ie : no spores, small fruits, no fruits ) but if you get lucky than you'll be set for a long period of time.
Agar, Master Slant, Rhizo Growth, Proper Pasteurization, Mono-Tubs, 56-66-110 QT I've tried them all, I also really enjoy six and sixteen quart mini-monos inside of a Martha.
Lots to learn when moving on from PF - Tek.
