Hello! Newbie <3

Hello All! I've been on this forum without a profile for at least 3 years and I feel a personal closeness with the community as a whole so I decided to make a profile before continuing along my mushroom adventure : )
A bit about me: I did it once. 3-4 grams or what seemed like a strange breed, was predominantly white ( brownish in it's dried state) with typical Amanita crust like flakes (browned as well) and had the best/worst experience of my life. the worst part about it was that at my peak a friend that was with me had to go babysit and i was peaking and as i exited the forrest i was in, i whited out. people turned into blue cubes and then just plain white, i was lead through terrain familiar back into buddy's apartment, the lobby was filled with screaming yelling black children (not racist, they were literally all black) apparently there was a fire alarm and the contents of the apartment spilled into the lobby, it was next to a university.. wonder why there were so many children! erm anyways, elevator had faces in the wood varnish, friend played that Damien episode of south park, thought he was inditing me of being a stupid metalhead, came off with a laugh and felt good : )
other than that, I got my PC ready (broken latch handle, using metal wedges to compensate for pressure retention) and i'm looking forward to a shotgun tek with maybe rye berry spawn if i can't find a better reason to do cake tek other than 'newbie' because i want them YIELDS! heheh ..._(:)0 the dual chambered tek looks cool too, only reason why i would do cake, also becuz i got a sun roof and have adequate temp (almost always 74) and lighting (window and sunroof) to provide for both or either.
My only question is the species type, B+ looks excellent, i want an easy resistent grow since i will probably skip the glove box (even though i found one for less than 30) (my house has a really small bathroom i can work with as well) (and i'm already a cheap skate without a job lolol in florida no less, i can pretty much get everything from garbage except lysol?!) (exe my semi broken PC was $7 from goodwill)
Uhh.. All in all, thank you for all the everything I might receive :3 From what I gathered, my type of freak personality is at least 'tolerated' here lmao
I love you all <3

Hey welcome, a few things. id be very wary of using a damaged PC if doing cakes you can steam them, I always PC but steam is adequate. Cakes arent rye they are BRF and verm. As for mush variety all cubes are cubes all basically the same baring PE varieties. Gloveboxes are not used nowadays they have been replaced by SAB still air box. Dont do any work in a bathroom its full of shit literally, you wouldnt eat your tea in there dont do mush work in there.

sounds like a dangerous and bad idea, I would get one that works correctly, you also do not need a pressure cooker for doing PF cakes
and i'm looking forward to a shotgun tek with maybe rye berry spawn the shot gun fruiting chamber is for PF cakes, grain(rye) spawn is mixed with a substrate and usually not used in a shot gun fruiting chamber
if i can't find a better reason to do cake tek other than 'newbie' because i want them YIELDS! heheh ..._(:)0 the dual chambered tek looks cool too, only reason why i would do cake, also becuz i got a sun roof and have adequate temp (almost always 74) and lighting (window and sunroof) to provide for both or either.
My only question is the species type, B+ looks excellent, b+ is a variety not a species, it's not even a strain. the spores have no clue there's a name on their syringe. any variety you pick will grow good strains and bad ones. any two spores that meet and mate make a strain, your cakes will have 100s of strains most of them will be average.
i want an easy resistent grow since i will probably skip the glove box (even though i found one for less than 30) you don't want a glove box, you want a still air box. you make your own out of a plastic tub for $5
(my house has a really small bathroom i can work with as well) (and i'm already a cheap skate without a job lolol in florida no less, i can pretty much get everything from garbage except lysol?!) (exe my semi broken PC was $7 from goodwill) there's no reason to use lysol for any purpose in mushroom cultivation, it's a noob crutch. Lysol's one and only use would be spraying the filter of a flow hood but even then there's better things
Uhh.. All in all, thank you for all the everything I might receive :3 From what I gathered, my type of freak personality is at least 'tolerated' here lmao

YOWZA!!! Have I been wrong about a few-many things.. not a good first post ^_^' first off,. i know BRF cakes and verm is diff than rye, No tude, just saying i know the diff so that can get scratched off I only wonder if rye trays can work in a verm chamber, since it seems like an easier tek to work off of, unless not! i want to skip steps if possible. i think rye goes better off a tub than a chamber if i remember correctly..
sorry my vernacular is off.. i am not being too careful with it since i had a few beers, so i'll prob just stick with b+ either way, seems like a good starting point and overall variety that's hardy with aggressive colonization.
ok so shotgun and verm is a no go, so what kind of fruiting chamber will rye go for ? I would like to get the most out of what i buy and although cakes seem less maintenance I know the truth is the opposite.
ok so no lysol, flame and masks work easier with less stress and i know the air doesn't matter as long as the flow is minimal, but what's a good substitute for overall sterile technique?
thank you so much for the informative and constructive responses!!! I love being a member here already, sorry if i look like I haven't searched enough, maybe I wasn't as specific as I should have been ^_^'
Love you all! <3

Right right.. Perlite is for the bottom and verm is for substrate!
I guess now that my bender is over, my only question is if I'm doing grains in a tray INSIDE a tub, do I put Perlite on the bottom or would dunking be enough? or does mixing the grain with another substrate "cake-ify" the whole thing and then I just dunk and leave it in the tub??
Thank you!
