Alrighty finally getting around to posting this after hours and hours or reading on this amazing website I'm finally giving this a shot. Please let me know what you guys think and how I might be able to improve 
After reading about the different methods I decided to go with A2G using whole oats. I'm going to be using a mixture of larger monotubs as well as shoebox tek. My substrate will just be simple coir verm to start with. As far as casing I have read that it is not necessary for cubes but APEs do better with it so those will be the only one I am casing for the first round.
 At first I decided to start with Golden teachers because they were what i saw most people start with then started reading about APE and melmac being more potent so naturally I had to add them to the list. The tidalwave came after reading about the beauty that is enigma and I decided to try to chase the blob, but I will be making a separate thread for that if all goes well.
 So far I have inoculated 21 GT grain jars using MS on agar they were done in groups of 7. First set on 4/7, then 4/12 then a round of T1s on 4/26. One of the jars has taken off pretty well on the dar right on the larger group and I think I will be spawning it within a couple weeks to a shoebox.
 The melmac were inoculated 4/12, these I'm thinking about doing some transfers as I only had 2 clean plates out of 3 inoculated due to lack of supplies also these poor pumps ended up with waaaaay too much condensation, still trying to find that sweet spot of how long to wait after the PC, did a lit better on my second round of plates but still not perfect
The tidalwave and APE were just done today on 5/3. I will be posting updates every so often as things progress. Thank you in advance for any and all words of wisdom

****UPDATE 6/14/20****
Well fellas wish I had better news, lost almost all my jars due to bacteria lmfao. I believe I'm gonna have to work on my grain prep for sure, im thinking I need to rinse my grains before boiling and make sure let them dry out a little better before PCing. I usually PC for about 90 minutes but will be stepping up to 120 and see what happens. Also all of these were straight MS or T1 and I've been told it's better practice to go to about T3 and the fourth transfer would be to grain. Will be going a bunch of transfers on everything this weekend and post another update when I noc some more jars.Unfortunately I still think some more of these are no good but gonna leave em a bit longer an see what happens.
TOP- 4/7 MID- 4/12 BOT- 4/26
I did get lucky and had one jar i was able to start in a shoebox so we will see how that goes. I think the sub was a little bit dry so I'm gonna be misting this one a bunch the first time to make up for it. I wasnt sure it i should add water that wasnt boiled but then I thought about people misting and I'm sure they don't boil the water everytime lol. Hopefully I get at least a good fruit I can clone not too worried about yeild where it's my very first tub but fingers crossed.

The APE and Tidal Wave I noced are half good news. All my TW seem to have no contam at all which in super pumped about, the ape however I believe I may have gotten a bad set of swabs because those were all bacterial and both sets were done in my SAB in the same session. I ended up getting a print from OG Rockefeller so I'm going to be starting those instead of the APE.

I've been slacking hard on transfers for the MM and GT with all the craziness but will definitely have more going now that I poured some extra plates
*****UPDATE 6/18/20******
I don't know how well it will turn out but I gave my other APE swab a try so fingers crossed but I dont have high hopes lol Also got the KSSS started and did a bunch of transfers so hopefully everything does well.
