Fuck the PF Tek.
Making agar was the simplest thing in this hobby I've ever done.
Making WBS jars was the second easiest.
PF Tek is a lot of bullshit and time and energy all for something that I promise one shouldoon. Ack and say "why the hell did I waste my time with that"
People do what they're gonna do, you're gonna do what you're gonna a do. I did PF Tek for almost a year. The day I harvested my first WBS run, I was in total disbelief that I spent so long on PF Tek.
It's kind of like a student science fair project, vs an adult mans real life "work"
Rock on man, but look into wild bird seed and grain spawn. Dont spend too much time on PF Tek. You're growing felonious mushrooms. Might as well make it somewhat more worth the haul. (Ie atleast triple the yield WBS vs PF Tek)

You're going to spend a lot of time, with extremely low results for the energy you put in. If you have the money, buy a pressure cooker. I got my 8qt at Walmart for 35 bucks. I can only do 3 quart jars at a time in it. But I'd never go back to PF Tek.
Put it like this, you can except roughly an ounce per quart of WBS.
You get an 8th per cake.
You inoculate 4 holes, per jar, in PF Tek. To get that ounce, you inoculate 32 holes. That's assuming none of your cakes contam. You're new, they will. It's very frustrating.
WBS was hundred times easier. And I don't hate PF Tek. I did it for almost a year, the first time I did my WBS, I was quite pissed at myself for wasting so much time with PF Tek.
Forget about PF Tek. Forget it exists. It isn't worth it.
Learn how to use WBS and a pressure cooker, and use that as your base.

that's just not right... focus on getting to know their lifecycle first, not buying expensive pressure cookers and making jar lids and all that jazz. i would focus on the pf tek for now and start getting in to grain on the side.

Agar then grain

Yeah OP agar is to hard and not related to your OP, you got to PF tek it for a bit to understand the ways of the mushroom (practice with SAB). Then get into some agar and learn the ways of the mycelium.

I've never done a PF tek grow. agar is easy. Grain prep is easy. Spawning to bulk is easy. There's no need to outdated methods.

3 650 gram bricks of coir, 3 to 6 quarts of verm. I haven't used gypsum in a verry long time. I'm not sure what the micropore tape and oven bags are for but everything else looks good. Maybe get some polyfill for your grain jar lids and mono tub holes.

Oven bags are for pasteurizing bulk substrate in a PC. I hear coir is very resistant to contamination but since this is my first grow id rather play it safe i guess. take all the precautions. the micropore tape; i was thinking of using this instead of polyfill. But after more research think I will use micropore tape for GE (lids) and polyfill for FAE (monotubs)

thank you for your feedback, sounds like I might skip the gypsum too

Also if you still have the small jars you can dilute your ordered spores in pc water. Just make a proper lid with silcone on both sides for the port. Then tyvek silconed and micropore tape over that. Pc with your grain jars. Just squirt it in the port with sterile water and suck up 12ml each time. You can then make a 100 jars with one syringe. Everyone will tell you agar is best to start. They are right agar is the only way for clean cultures. New spores to make a agar plates takes time so start now. Also i see your in a hurry so start your grain jars now then compared yield with your agar cultures on your second grow.
P.s. buy a screen to drain the grains in the sink.

Don't use micropore for GE in your lids. SFDs, polyfill, EZ felt are the only materials I would use for my GE filters.
