For your first time, stick with 1/2 pint jars and don't case them. 1/2 pints colonize quicker, and as a side bonus of colonizing quicker they have less chance of getting contaminated while colonizing. Casing does give higher yields, but is easier to mess up, and if you do happen to mess it up, you lose the whole batch. If you just stick with cakes, and one cake gets contaminated, just throw it away and that's that. As far as which strain of cubensis to go with, GlassOnion's suggestion is about right. As far as I know, there hasn't been any true scientific researchto see which strains colonize quickest under the same conditions, but when people ask the question "Which strains colonize fastest" GT's (Golden Teachers) and EQ's (Ecuadorians) are often quoted as being quick colonizers. I'm doing my first grow, and it's B+ strain, and I didn't find out until too late that it's not a very quick colonizer. As far as actual "easiness" goes, pretty much all cubensis strains are easy to grow as long as you follow the PF tek or one of its variations, all found on the shroomery's cultivation pages.
-------------------- Excerpt from one of my textbooks: Therefore, between a then and its matching else, there cannot be an if statement without an else. Statements must be distinguished between those that are matched and those that are unmatched, where unmatched statements are else-less ifs and all other statements are matched. I wonder if that would make more sense if I was tripping when I read it.

I wish I could reccomend my source but it is not a shroomery sponser so I won't. It sounds like all the sponsers are great sources for spores. Give em a try.

Hey infamous, please use the reply function properly!
Id say: SPORES101!
Also AZARIUS is cool, and my best GT (germ in 3 days at 63F!!) comes from a secret source in The Netherlands!
And further again, all sponsors are way cool. They really are selected by their quality and such!

Sure casings are possible for the first timer, and yeah he's got a good chance of success. But weigh the pros and cons for a first timer, casing vs just fruiting the cakes. If you mess up a casing, you lose several cakes, and they are easier to mess up. You can lose a cake or two when just fruiting the cakes, but that's all you lose, and you still get plenty of shrooms for all your hard work and weeks spent waiting. If he's just trying it out, to see if he likes it and if he can even do it properly, fruiting the cakes the first time instead of casing them is the best way to go. The only drawbacks are they will take a bit longer to fruit as cakes and he will get a bit less of a yield. Considering he'll still get plenty of shrooms off just the cakes, I don't see why he'd want to case the first time and risk losing his whole crop, and all those wasted weeks.

O yes I am glad I did some cakes before, but what can one fuck upp more with casings then with cakes? Cakes need even higher RH then casings. Key is the casing layer IMHO, a good PH not too thick not too wet etc.
But after 100 cakes, casing is still is the same difficulty. If he dont mind the glassmess he can make the fruitcakes, he can also try some out to case. Can do both!
