I would use this tek, it's clean and easy. Don't have to pasteurize shit or straw

Spore Depot for spores,assuming you're an american (they're a sponsors)
Coco coir you can get anywhere I'd start small at the pet store then buy more from a hydro store when you're sure it's worth it to go big.
Vermiculite you can get anywhere, U-Line sells it in bulk if you're having troubles finding it semi cheap locally.
Polyfil can be bought at walmart, useful for jar and tub gas exchange
Bird seed is everywhere
There are all sorts of jar teks out there pick one that suits your fancy. For the most part it's extremely cheap unless you get some special filters.

found one for around 100 all I have right now is time so at the moment im not worried if im pcing for 3 days. I forgot to mention the only thing I do have is a liquid culture that deffinatley needs some cleaning up and a couple pieces of spore print lying around and a couple empty syringes. I want to do something along the lines of 4-8 decent sized mono tubs. is my budget unrealistic or at least close?
I can build a SAB out of stuff laying around the house. im thinking a pc around 100, 3 dozen ball jars about 35, about 60 in tubs. that's 195 right there. fill in the blanks for agar and supplies and ill figure out the cost of rye berries. my question is really how much rye do I need for about 3 dozen qt jars.

Are you dedicated enough to this hobby for dumping out that much money. If your answer is yes go with a quality PC.

1 1/2 cups per jar = 54 cups... I dunno, 10 pounds.
You'll need more jars than 36... Try 60, 72.
Petri dishes = $8 sleeve, two sleeves Agar = cheap Elme or pda =cheap
Time may be longer than expected. You could probably start fruiting about 2 months after all supplies. If your cleaning the LC.

im going to take the lc and clean it up on agar until I can transfer agar into a master grain jar or 2 or 3, and use that as inoculate for everything on this first run. im going to start off with 4-8 tubs and then do an additional run of 4-8 halfway through so I can start a staggered harvest.
I am going to make this a serious hobby of mine and I will buy a quality and larger pc down along the road a bit further. the reason im using the lc that I have is because I love the strain that's in it and I don't have any spores left of it and don't know if I can find any legitimate spores for what it is. other than that im trying to get some PE and APE spore prints before I get the supplies which will be happening early next week.

He needs $ for spores it sounds like, Coir, Verm, filters, silicone (optional if you're making SFD filters), fans, enough lights for the tubs, SAB, gloves, iso or bleach, 5 gallon buckets.. read this and it will point you in the right direction, bare minimum IMO.. Frank's beginner monotub tek
