About ready to start my first cultivation

How's it going fellas so I am about ready to start my first grow I think I have everything except for spores I was wondering if some people could recommend some places I was going to try one of the sponsors on here that has for the most part super good reviews but I did run into a couple negative ones which doesn't mean a lot some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope but just looking for suggestions to so I don't make illadvised purchase
also what strain would you recommend it's technically second but might as well be first so easier the better but I kind of want big stupidly huge is what I'm looking for I had South Africans once many years ago maybe try those again?
BTW I did use the search bar but everything I found was really really old like when the internet first came about so yeah...

Spore works is my go to. Clean , professional, discreet,fast shipping and mention shroomery and get a free extra syringe.
Also the owner is a member and he's super knowledgeable.

We can't recommend vendors in a cultivation forum. Spores are for Microscopy only.
Searching them should show you what you're lookin for. You can organize the posts by most recent by clicking "Posted On" to re-arrange them.
Strains should really be called Varieties and they're all just as easy to grow.

Okay thanks guys the place the first guy mentioned is where I was going to go so that's good...
Okay so what variety would you recommend for impressive size?
Also is that vendor in the United States? I don't want to try and ship internationally....

I yes the website mentioned is in the 48. My go to site, never have issues and they're fast. Just wish I knew a name drop would score a free one. Dont worry about size, just worry about starting because youll be using spores more than likely and youll have variety and depends on your sub as well. People say straw makes monsters for example.

Considering I'm just starting out I am going to use PF tek some of the dudes on here recommended that is a good place to start and as I get more comfortable with what I'm doing I will move up to larger and more exciting methods...
How do you mention this website on said vendors website? I typed it into the coupon code area and I just got invalid...

Well ive been spending hours researching and im in a debate with myself I read a very long thing about using liquid culture which seems like a pretty good idea but then I read another really long thing about using agar what would you recommend? I'm just starting out like I say but neither of them seem very hard I in fact have a pressure canner and I think you can buy everything right at the store in town for the agar if not Amazon has it for $15 for a big bag....

Most cube varieties are very easy to cultivate, and your larger fruit will come in subsequent flushes

If you are going to continue in this hobby you'll definitely want to learn agar and possibly LC sometime down the road but pf-tek is a great place to start. It's pretty easy and you'll have weeks to work on your sterile technique and shop for supplies while you're staring at your jars. You also have other options once you've learned a little more like brf cakes to bulk or brf cake to grain.
You could even save a few drops of Spore solution and get started with agar while your cakes are colonizing. PF Tek allows you to skip a couple steps and get growing right away.

So I'm thinking I want to inoculate 20 half pint jars how many Spore syringes do you feel I would need for that? I was going to stack them

A drop or two of solution per hole is more than sufficient.

I'd say 2 syringes. I remember way back when I did 18 cakes with 2. Youll likely fuck up and squirt too much in once or twice when the syringe gets clogged.

one other thing im not sure i completely reached optimum field capacity i did a 4:2:2 ratio so 4 cups verm 2 water 2 brf i checked after mixing and couldnt get any water to drip out, but it was definitely moist and clumped like clay in my hand... i thought about adding more water but didnt i figured slightly less was better than too much....

i ended up doing 16 thats all my pc could fit. but ive changed my mind on how i plan to fruit im going to use my brf cakes to a mono instead of just fruiting the cakes.... so i figure half golden teacher and the other half Malabar (vendor chosen) into two tubs some of the guys had success with just a single jar to tub. i was just going to use however many good ones i get.... hopefully 6 each type.... i tried to make cakes like 10 years ago with this method i didn't do any research so my spore vendor ripped me off but my jars sat in a paper bag on a shelf for 10 months and never grew any contam so i must have done something right....
