The only thing I liked more in oat was the fact that I could eat it while prepping, shits tasty.
What oats did you use that you can eat? You mean like a sunflower seed? Did you actually use whole oats?

It was unhulled BIO wheat from a health store. Pretty pricy at 1,5β¬ a kilogram but it was tasty, kinda like Cheerios but less sweet.

Yeah so after reading some of these comments about people not always liking to use oats, I decided to return the massive 50 lb bag of oats I bought and bought a much more manageable 10 lb bag of Pennington WBS. Since I'm working on my first grow I felt like 50 lbs of oats was just way too much, and I don't have much storage in my house anyways. The 10 lb bag of bird seed seems like a much better option just to get me started on my first small grow. I plan on doing 8 half pint jars of 2 different strains. 4 jars each for 2 small shoeboxes I plan on doing to start. I think one shoebox I'm going to try to grow some Tidal Wave or TOC and one shoebox of Golden Teacher to start out.
I have a few different strains to choose from to start out with for my first grow. Some of the spores I have to choose from are b+, APE(R), Tidal Wave, TOC, AA+, Golden Teacher, Blue Meanie, PE, Jack Frost, and Ghost.
I have heard that Tidal Wave are awesome, along with Golden Teacher, TOC, and the AA+. Does anyone have any suggestions which two strains I should start out with considering this is my first grow in 12 years? Are any of these easier or more forgiving than other strains to first timers?
Thanks for any input everyone, wish me luck! lol -Psychodelicious

sounds like a lot of PE crosses. PE just takes longer than other cubes & requires a compacted top layer or casing but other than that most cubes arenβt too finicky

Do you mean takes longer to colonize a jar, or takes longer to fruit?

I'd return the oats for the bird food. I get much better results with the bird food.

Theoretically both but I had PE cultures that colonized even faster than normal varieties but take forever to even form primordia.
Generally speaking PE and PE crosses colonize and fruit way slower than any other cube.
Good call on returning the big bag. Imagine you don't like oats after all and are stuck with 50 pounds of the stuff. WBS is better imo because it has much more inoculation points due to a much higher surface area of the grain.

Yeah I decided to go with the WBS first. I'm going to give it a try first and see how that goes. If I have good luck with it then I'll probably just stick with WBS and then maybe in the future if I decide to scale up my operation I might give oats a try then. Thanks everybody for the input!
