1st time grow, need some answers

Alright so this is my first time growing shrooms, and i need some things cleared up. i am familiar on how to do the pf tek way to grow shrooms but i want to have a little more yield than the cakes produce. i've been looking into the 50/50+casing tek but i am a little confused. is the 50/50+casing tek the same as the pf tek until birthing? Also how much space is need? i dont have much room for large rubbermaid boxes but would innovating to a larger food container such as a cheese balls container work? or 2 nonnis biscotti containers? (screw on top). Also the guide says to use oyster shells and lime, but is the required? or could a mix of verm and peat moss do the trick? Im about to order a syringe of B+ from lilshopofspores.com Has anybody ever used that site? is it a trustworthy site or do you have any other recommendations? I'm trying to get a at least an ounce and a half - 2 ounce yield if possible. help would be greatly appreciated!

50/50 is meant to be used with grains spawned to bulk tubs/trays. You do not need to case Cubes, it doesn't hurt but it's a useless step, much like wiping your ass before dropping a deuce. Youtube Let's grow mushrooms and watch the grain prep videos. Then find a 50/50 tek that you can follow. You don't need oyster shells, or lime doing a 50/50 tek, peat, that's usually reserved for "Casing" which you don't need for Cubes. When you start playing with different containers it's really a crap shoot on the performance, only you will know once you try it. So I suggest sticking to tubs and dimensions that others have paved the way with.
Link to a nice mono tub tek is in my signature and it's easy as shit.
As far as reputable spore suppliers, there's a list of sponsored suppliers here. I think that vendor is on the list, I've never looked at it but once long time ago, I use a different supplier one that isn't sponsored here.

If i start out with 6 BRF cakes, can't you cut them in slices and lay them on verm and put it back for another week for the mycelium to take over the entire container instead of just using the BRF cakes? I already have all the ingredients for the BRF cakes and so on so would there be any way to innovate to get a higher yield than just using the standard pf tek?
