Best substrate for Golden Teacher/Cubensis

Hi,
I'm curious what is in 2022, the best substrate to use for the Cubensis / G. Teacher, P. Envy kind of strain? Searching came up with posts from 12 years ago and they might be still worthy or, maybe there's new methods I should read about?
I have a 23Q pressure cooker, can easily make a still box & I understand sterile technique, and I can follow most instructions & do it all myself... But maybe buying some reliably pre-sterilized injectable substrate that's ready to go if it's available, is a good idea.
Maybe getting something pre-arranged & ready to inoculate, then adding that inoculated smaller sized mycelia into a larger volume of substrate once the "store bought" substrate is growing well. I don't know, I'm just thinking of what seems like logical possibilities.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Welcome to the shroomery 
Best way to run bulk is to do it yourself. You'll find the consensus around here is to not bother with presterilized grain. Shooting a multispore syringe into grain is a recipe for a bacterial or moldy mess.
For substrate, most people nowadays are running straight coir. Personally I still use Damion5050's CV tek.
For spawn, you have a lot of options for different grain: rye, oats, wheat, millet, wild bird seed are some of the popular choices. I run WBS using Fooman's prep tek
You'll want to get into agar as well to ensure you're starting grain with clean cultures. Pastywhyte's no pour tek is pretty handy.
Check out Bod's easy AF tek series for a lot of great ideas.
PF tek is still super viable and is a very forgiving way to get into cultivation and learn the life cycle of the mushroom before diving into more prolific methods.
-------------------- So anyway, uh...

you should grab a syringe from a sponsor for 15-20 bucks and do Pf tek for a couple runs.
Def make that SAB! You need it to make this hobby work. Diy is more rewarding. Mail order sub/spawn/kits are usually trash city. Don't waste your cash. You can do everything with pf tek for about 50-60 bucks.
Instead of a shot gun fruiting chamber like the tek recommends I suggest putting your cakes in a water tub. Just a tub with about an inch of water in the bottom. You lift the cakes out of the water with jars or a wire rack.
Then you should move on to agar so you can clone your fruit. At the same time you are learning to clone and transfer you should learn to do grain. All of this should really be after you have the basics down though. I like wild bird seed(wbs). It's very easy to work with.
Read read read. Newer teks are a little better or more relevant at least.
Good luck and welcome to the Shroomery!
Don't hesitate to ask questions. There is a thread for quick questions that will be pretty close to the top of the thread list at all times. Check it out!
