Trust me I'm not 
I live in a pretty dry area plus I built my first SGFC fucked up and just never improved it once I got into monos. Here are my two dry ass cakes I bothered to take a pic of:

Hey op. How often are you using a spray bottle top mist the cakes? Why are the caps cracked? Why aren't the cakes glistening with moisture? Spray, spray, spray! Like 20-30 good pumps.

The whole environment looks pretty dry, I'm sure the perlite could use another soak.

I know! You know I know! But that doesn't help the new guys!

From my experience, I learned a lot from cakes. I believe I learned a whole lot more from that experience than I would have if I had started out with tubs. It's easier to diagnose what's going wrong on cakes, they are more foolproof, and they get guys some early success for cheap. That's why I encourage PF-Tek, and will always continue to do so. Showing the results of a mono versus cakes, well, let's just say I want that, too! But if I were going to start running--and I am most definitely not--I wouldn't start by training for a marathon.
How much did you learn from those first failures? That's the secret. Learning from mistakes, because nobody ever learned a darn thing from a success. Well, i learned it's a lot more fun to be successful, but that's about it.

Don't miss out on good info 
This whole hobby has completely changed my outlook on life lol. It sounds crazy to say but it's true . I'm an extreme perfectionist IRL. There are a lot of things I'm very good at and a lot of things I'm just plain good at, nothing special. If I failed at something I had a tendency to not try again for risk of embarrassment/feeling like a failure. Now if I don't fuck up something my first time I don't find it worth doing 'cause it's probably too easy.
I'll be working on a bunch of stuff soon, moving into a bigger place today and will have space for an official lab and shit.

Good luck with the move! I hate moving, and have had over 40 addresses. That's too much.
