Fish tanks and beer!
And you make a strain. But get cubensis for a variety

Have you grown before? I'm not saying start with the PF Tek. I personally felt besides helping you develop a good sterile technique it was a waste. I started with learning how to do grain and bulk. I never learned the PF Tek until way later. I would recommend you read your ass off, and maybe practice on a smaller grow first. It's less expensive that way until you get your Tek and sterilization down pat. I'm gonna catch alot of shit for this here, but if you don't have a PC you can find a reliable vendor who has premade jars and bags.
If you are going for bag appeal agar is a great thing to learn as you Can take your prettiest Boomer and isolate it on agar and grow Nothing but the prettiest most perfect shrooms there are. It's all a pipe dream unless you study hard and practice In this hobby it's better to start with quality rather Than quantity. It's really not just a useless saying here. Now read read read and start planning your first grow!! Good luck my friend. I've been a regular on and off here for over 6 Years , it's really a great place to learn.

That seems like a wasted print lol I've had some decent luck with quite a few MS syringes. Learning agar is by no means worthless or even unnecessary. If nothing else it furthers your mycology knowledge.

If you are trying to grow large quantities it makes way way more economical sense to drop 70 USD on a decent sized pressure cooker that can do 10 jars at a time indefinitely. Than spend 70 USD on premade bullshit that won't grow any shrooms.

While I do agree that MS grows from quality syringes of long proven varieties tend to do better than alot of people on here give them credit for, you still want agar to do quantity.
Because otherwise your going to have to buy an asston of syringes or G2G MS spawn. Buying an asston of syringes is going to be expensive and with each one the chances of hitting a bad syringe is higher. G2G'ing MS spawn is just dumb and is going to spread any skeezy shit your syringe had to all your jars. Putting all your eggs in one basket.
With agar you only need a drop of spores till you can find a clone that throws mad weight.

spore prints are dirty by definition
anyone who has success straight from spores did it in spite of the dirty spores, not because of them

tame, like taming strange? and 'tam' short for contam short for contamination. jello is agar since its vegan jello. made from seaweed.
so you cant tame(or conquer) the tam(contamination) without using the jello(agar)
because thats how you have clean inoculate which makes contamination a odd occurrence. not a huge obstacle.

what more can be done? i mean from the home cultivator? we can always hone our skills but how many different ways can you mix spawn with water and dirt? i made a crappy shoebox and how i prep shit threads but what can we really do?
people with labs need to step it up and find out whats really inside these things with the different mediums we already employ.
list some ideas. ill see what i can do within my own means. i really want to get creative with coco but even that has limits.

Enjoy prison bruh.
Its shit like this that is eventually going to make it illegal to even get spores to study and us that do this for experimentation and as a hobby will blame people who jump online obviously wanting to deal drugs.

well I guess it's all relative to what you are looking for.. I really like insightful discussion that makes me think or challenges my perspectives and assumptions, and projects and discussions that help broaden my understanding and help me connect the dots
bodhis unmodified tek, azures automated room, pastys micropore monos, stuff like that is the best of the shroomery IMO , I'm super grateful to live in an age where we can crowdsource our techniques and share and discuss projects and results
this place is a tremendous resource to learn and discuss, if you can deal with all the feelings nonsense and egoes that get bruised so easily
these days you are more likely to get banned for disagreeing with a mod, or not sticking your tongue deep enough up someone's ass, rather than actually breaking a rule...
god bless all the people fighting the good fight to make it easier for noobs to get from point a to point b, it damn sure shows up in the number of noobs going straight to agar and kicking ass these days
but as far as the advanced section, or even any interest in discussing and learning principles beyond growing drugs, has been lacking lately (at least in my eyes; guess it means I gotta quit slacking lol). the only "experimental" threads we get these days are people who don't even understand the scientific method, and then flame and rage when people try to explain the problems with their "experiments" and how they could be improved/corrected
I've had a life cycle questions thread going for a while now with some of the stuff I've been wondering about for a while.... will update with new info and questions as soon as I finish a few textbooks I'm reading. anyone feel free to chime in, I'd love the input
