What are some of the major issues with using LC? From what I've read it seems to be the optimal choice over spore stringe?
The only disadvantage I can think of vs spore syringe is the comparative lack of genetic diversity.

LC gets a bad rap around here because it's hard to tell if it's contaminated or not, and generally has extra/worse vectors of contamination (e.g. the self-healing injection port, the SHIP). As someone who's new myself, I think getting LC from a trusted vendor is a decent way to start in this hobby, and in all likelihood is going to net you a very solid amount of fruits.
That being said, as I've just finished up my first grow, I'm going to start learning agar, and look forward to the peace of mind from using a method that you can generally be highly confident isn't contaminated.
Without knowing your situation, my recommendation would be to do your first grow using vendor LC, but save a little bit of each of the LC to propagate and play around with on agar. That way you should be able to forever save what are most likely pretty good genetics and still get a good first grow while you're learning agar.

I've gotten some vendor LC that was very bacterial, and it led to stall-outs, even with PF Tek. At least one of the vendors said on their site that they check their syringes on antibiotic agar. Basically they only care to stop molds, and they pretend like bacteria just isn't a problem. I don't think that was the only one who does that either.
I have some trust issues when it comes to vendors, but it's the same whether you're getting spores or LC.
Ending rant.

seriously thank you for your labor of love.
After a night at the bar with Andre the Giant, Mitch Hedberg and Winston Churchill while walking slowly home I found a small thumb shaped thingy with a button. Instantly pressing and closely inspecting the odd device, I didn't see the vw campervan resembling vehicle roll up/teleport right next to me. No one visually recognizable, no words spoken, inside Shrimps Milkboy SmellyHobbit and Beef simply there doing their thing, exploring the universe, handing out towels. Wonder if they would notice if I hid in their galley a while?

I knew about the ban lottery, though I haven't seen it for a while, but I didn't know there was a self ban feature. That's actually pretty cool.

I've seen Stipe take a lot of heat over the years but he will never be accused of suffering fools.
Back to business. I'm thinking of adding another chapter: "all cubes are not created equal".
Would a bit of controversy be so bad?
