They're more potent when fresh, and less potent when dry, due to their total % of water being less than that of cubes.

I really do not know why they are not more popular, they should be and in many threads you will see people saying similar, that they cannot understand it.
There are a few reasons I can think of. The spores are typically more expensive. They are also very boring to grow. There is also the notion that it takes 6 months before you can get anything.
Recently a poster was harvesting stones after I think just 1 month, as the jar was showing contaminants. The stones were not mature and he took a higher weight than normal and was surprised how strong they were.
So if you have multiple jars growing and really want a dose you can get one, as fast or faster than you would get a dose from cubes. You might not get the same biological efficiency but grains are cheap, and you can just have one jar and leave the rest. You could possibly even open a jar in a SAB and just take 1 dose out and recap it to let the rest mature as planned.
I think they are ideal for beginners, if you buy from one particular long term sponsor and say you are a shroomery member and ask nicely they might throw in a free cube syringe of their choice if you buy a stone producer. So you can have both grows going at the same time. If your cube grow fails you have the stones to fall back on. It is far less risky grow wise as you are not opening the jars again after inoculation until harvest.

I love stones. I usually have a few quarts going most of the time. I think the big reason people don't do them more is because they are far better fresh, consuming dried stones is a PITA. Of course i have done dried stones and they were fine, just a bitch to grind up. You don't want to be breaking a tooth on a dry stone.
