Which is the best strain to grow for a first time?

I was wonderin which strain I should grow for a first time. I will be using the pf tek method and keeping the cakes humid using perlite. I'm getting my spore print from FSRE and I was wondering what people think is the most tolerable and easiest strain that will still produce some good mushrooms.
Thx

And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride... And we... kill those people. - Bill Hicks

Yeah me to but and I think it's great that so many people can help you if you don't know it. But if you search before you open a topic it's much easier and helps to keep it interesting on the forum(not always the same).

If you can get your hands on the Acadian Coast strain...try this one.
Very forgiving strain.
Very abundent fruiter also.
AC that I grew several years ago...grown on tall 1/2 pint BRF/Verm cakes.

Yes...and no.
Depends on conditions...definately...without a doubt. My conditions were very optimal.
But...I had also grown 24 different strains using the same conditions and using the same substrate...and the AC was one of the better strains grown.
My Average yeild per cake was between 7 to 9 dry grams from the AC...which is on the high end of yeild for BRF/Verm cakes.
Spore quality is also a factor.

I live in the Netherlands and your system of school is totally different from yours. So I don't think it's worth it to explain it to you:P
