Your first tek

What's the first tek you used to first begin your study in mycology ? What techniques did you expand into from there ?
I used the PF Tek with BRF cakes and had an exciting first run, many friends of mine were grateful for my new hobby. Now I'm discovering through the forums so many other techniques for cultivation, its a little overwhelming to weigh the pros and cons of them all, but I'd like to try something new. I'd also like to collect my own print, something I haven't done either. I'm looking for a bit of guidance here on where to go now, really open to any opinions.

Definitely reading P. Fanaticus' work and going from there.
PF Tek is bulletproof. Small jar, ground grains and verm layer all help with contams.
After one go, I had to mod the inoculation method though. 4 holes? Lol! Just pop lid or use central GE hole and rotate while shooting, always glass first.

...Good god...
Here's my first grow, monotub using damion5050's coir tek.

Didn't do so good, I was a noob and the help wasn't so helpful back then.

If you want to try something new though, I dunno that you'd want to necessarily try people's first teks, since some of us regret that decision and potentially wasted years on bad premises.

https://www.shroomery.org/9107/Double-Tub-Pictorial and https://www.shroomery.org/8396/How-To-Pasteurize-Straw-Poo-Pillowcase-Method
But done in 1 tub. Had to peroxide it because of a cobweb like mold. It gave me a few flushes after I controlled the cobweb. I actually did my spawn jars with dry verm filters because I thought bird seed could be used in place of brf/verm for pftek. Somewhere in my reading I figured out pf tek and spawn jars aren't the same thing
It was quite a disaster tbh lol

First tek I ever used was Foo Man's WBS Method. Then How to make and use an SAB with sterile technique, mix of munch's cultivation videos and Spitballjedi's SAB. Then 3rd was Pasty Plates. All within the same week. After my first ever SAB run, I had spore solution on agar, and spores shot directly on grains.
 And yep, I used a TiT. 4th tek was Franks Tit incubator. Winter temps, maintained at 72 degrees in the incubator. Only used for the 2 coldest months.

I started with PF tek almost 10yrs ago. Used the hell out of the search button over the years since then as new teks have evolved over time. I switched to rye grain spawn and monos after getting a full grasp on everything. Now a days it's even cheaper and easier to use wbs and microfilter bags instead of jars. Jars are only used for g2g transfers now to cut down on storage space. Everyone has their own grooves of likes and dislikes with teks, so my recommendation is to try as many as you can and learn from it.. Once you do that you will find what works best for you! Good luck!

A little experiment. I held a pasty plate up to my cat and let him lick the crap out of it

Until you've licked a pasty plate yourself you can reserve your judgment for that poor animal..

.... You should put your dick in one of the arm holes of the SAB and poke the tip of it to the plate. You know... for science.
