Whats quicker and easier between G2G vs Liquid Culture, and Bags vs Monotubs?

Easiest way? Being as smart as the people who post their bulk grow before their 7th post. Best way is use the resource

Thanks to this forum, After tons of reading (for about 2 months), I just did my first P-Tek and everything is going very smooth.
I want to start planning and prepping for my next attempt, but I want to grow in bulks, and I would love to get some feedback from people with experience.
For my bulk growers 'from youre experience' what is the quickest and easiest method for growing bulks and bulks of caps.
Thanks

Fastest way? May mean less results and more contams imo. Pf tek. Ms Syringe to grain then monotub are both quick but not very reliable ime. Do lots more research on finding your personal preference between quick easy and Patience enough for good production and consistancy. Then choose what tek best suits your needs from the cult section provided and follow it to the T. No shortcuts! My self. I do agar as do many. I'm trying lc for the first time and I follow the coir tek for my monotubs. This info is not always handed to you easily. U have to do your part too and dig into your research. Goog luck to you. I hope this helps

based on your skill level I would stay away from LC. if you've never even messed with agar and don't have a developed skill set based on practice and experience then your best bet is to follow a tek. I would use frank's beginner monotub tek. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19792837
fastest and best has a lot to do with your skills. if you go buy a Ferrari today you have a very fast car but you probably can't get it into first gear without stalling.
fastest and best = use this site to find a method that suits you

There are many growers here who swear by many different Teks. I'm sure everyone feels their chosen Teks reign supreme. Do as much research as you can, consider your circumstances then make a decision. Usually the fastest or easiest way is not the best.

The op will want a 21 quart or bigger pc. Grow bags are generally bigger than jars, spore syringes, petri dishes, agar. Start with a bunch of bags and agar at the same time. Grow your bags using multi spore for the first month or so. That way you are producing right grub the get go. In the mean time you will be working with agar and getting a good amount of cultures ready to go. Then switch to agar and g2g. Don't attempt to go to all lc. A lc could ruin everything. Good luck. Would love to hear back from you in six months.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I'm at about your same point, successfully doing PFTEK and wondering what's next. I tried LC, grew a bunch of what looked like brown mold and a couple floating patches of mycelium. Probably won't try that again soon because GLC seems more straightforward.
My PC is tiny and will only hold 4 pint jars, and is too short for quarts, so I did some WBS from a spore print I took from my first mushroom, and also knocked up some more BRF jars with the same syringe. The wbs (which I would first make glc out of because it seems easier and more sterile than spore prints) hasn't gone anywhere but the brf is colonizing.
Also, just to screw around a little I crumbled 5 of my cakes after 2nd flush and cased them.
Try a bunch of stuff and see what works for you, and what you enjoy. As for bulk ease, my own research on similar topics would indicate monotubs (G2G, multispore, agar wedges, whatever) seems like the way to go, and if you search for how frank gets shit done, he has very straightforward and easy to understand techniques.
That's probably my next step after I'm done fucking around with cased cakes and wbs glc.
There really is a lot to this hobby, do some reading, there's so much info here.

Oh yeah, and read up on sclerotia. It's not fast, but as far as low-maintenance bulk goes, that seems like a super awesome way to go. Definitely going to be trying that.
If the only answer you want is "get rich on selling as much as possible asap", from what I've seen you're not going to find a lot of support here.
Realistically though, the best thing would be to play around with a bunch of different teks and see what you like.

In all my time I've never had luck with LC a single time. I love doing g2g its my favorite method of inoculation. However you must have clean grain to start with g2g. Or else its all for nothing you will expanding contams. You should always use agar to make sure your culture is clean if not you are taking a chance. Agar takes out the guessing and wandering if your grain spawn is colonizing with mushroom mycelium or some kind of mold. You can do no pour agar which is a lot more beginner friendly, or you can pour sterilized agar and nutrient mix into sterilized petri dishes. I've never had luck with no pour either but it is a commonly used method here on shroomery and is easier than pour dishes. Im kind of old school and stick with my tried and true methods. Which work but there are probably better and quicker methods. Find what works for you and what you are comfortable with. Start small and work your way up this way if you fail its not a big loss and you wont be too discouraged.

Just research everything and decide what works best for you. Everyone has different materials, growing conditions, skill sets, etc. Personally, I prefer MS > Agar > LI > Grain > G2G.

It's hard to get rich with these. There are other, not so illegal things you can grow.

From your experience, what was the easiest and quickest way of growing bulk shrooms?
Id recommend agar to grain than g2g to have your spawn rotating make new agar wedges once in awhile after your mycelium has hit its end point. Id recommend just grain to monos after that, or go like me nd do a greenhouse, it all works well
