it's not a matter of tek it's a matter of culture, find a good culture and give it good conditions and your return will/should be great(do a monotub though)

i would go straight for the grains. if you keep growing for any amount of time thats where you will end up anyway and that way you dont waste money on things you dont end up needing.

No... Go big or go home lol... But honestly do agar work and isolate. Grain jars are no harder thAN PF tek cakes. inoculate grains with agar and spawn to monotub easy effective and fun. Tons of monotub teks on this forum read them all or as many as u can then make what works for u.

So we went from "Why not pick them after the veil has broken and they're as big as they can get" to "How can I produce the absolute most mushrooms?"
Someone can produce more from cakes than someone else does from a giant monotub. It's all in the skill, with a dash of luck.

This.
There's line drawn between efficiency and work expended. Its a delicate balance.
Bulk colonization is kind of a constant I think. Substrate can only colonize so fast. And good genetics is what will ultimately prove speed and the end production.
If you want to grow a bunch of shrooms, get good experience with sterile procedures. Eventually production will be limited not by tek, but by available space and how fast you can cook/colonize grain.

Apparently you can get away with a pot with a lid for PF BRF cakes but I say that runs a greater risk of contams, a PC seems like a necessity, sorry, I'm a hunting expert, not a cultivation expert, but im

there is no "apparently getting away with steaming BRF" man. its tried and true. Yes, a PC a awesome, because u can easily do grains. don't start out trying to grow a lot. start out trying to grow healthy mushrooms, and then proceed from there.
its about patience passion and persistence. those will get you everywhere, no matter what kind of equipment u have.

sterile technique has nothing to do with PCing. it has to do with how careful you are when working with "sterilized" or in ur case "steamed" substrates in an SAB or in front of a hood. so you wanna move slowly and intentionally.
whether u PC ur BRF or steam it, u still need good sterile technique to inoculate (not even really that good TBH for cakes though, just use SAB). grains u need way better technique IME.
from there, its up to the syringes viability.

Spot on but, sorry, BL. Sterilizing/PC'ing properly is part of sterile technique.

That is one way to perceive it but sterile technique begins with the sterilization of your media(s)/substrate(s).

Use bassfreaks "anal cubesis tek" for maximum yield. It starts with grinding up about a dozen brf cakes and inserting them into your anus. Provides a perfect micro climate so there's no need for any fanning or misting, super low maintaince.

You see, grinding the BRF cakes up prior to inserting them into the optimal micro-climate invironment (ur asshole) results in more substrate surface area, hence, resulting in maximum yeild...

oh geez 
anyways, if u plan on staying in hobby, get a PC. if u wanna do cakes, IMO, u don't need one, but u can up ur steam time if u want. make sure u understand what healthy mushrooms look and grow like before u try to grow a lot. no PC cakes to bulk in an SGFC are a good starting point

If the question was what method produced the most amount of actives the answer I might give is sclerotia. But would need to know other factors you desire.
If someone said "you have a given space to grow in and they will be back in 3-4months to collect as much actives as possible" then I would probably be growing stones/sclerotia, very little labour or equipment involved too. You do not have to watch over them at all, can take holidays for months no problem.

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.
