Best method for starting from sporeprint?

I am a virgin, starting from a spore print. I was wondering what approach would be recommended, print to spore syringe, print to LC or print ditectly to pf cake or grain?
My current plan is to go print to LC(karo) to rye berries to single tub with cased 50/50 verm/peat moss.

well, prepare the spore syringe, inoculate the grain and then do like in the mono tub link in my sig.
that would be the best idea indeed, but i (personally) wouldnt do LC unless you learned lots of the basics beforehand.
best of luck! peace ohm

That sounds like a good plan. Since you are just starting.. it would be a great idea to build a glovebox to do all your work in. It will save you lots of headaches wondering where you went wrong.. if something happens. Try starting there. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...rue#Post2925618
Search the posts for "glove +box"
It will really help.

In terms of LC difficulty...
I tried it after just a few days of reading and got lucky and it worked perfectly. I have had bad ones since... but I think overall it isn't too hard. But that is my opinion. I think for what you get out of it.. its worth trying to get it right. You will save a bunch of money buying new syringes.
And the glove box... make it. I wish I would have before I started...

You can do best of all worlds with a single CLEAN print.
Build a glovebox.
Make 5 or 10 syringes (depending on print size & spore thickness).
Do a few PF style cakes.
If you have a PC, do a few WBS jars.
Do an LC, or 2.
And, you should still have a few syringes left.

agars sum up is good, but id suggeset going directly grains if you have a pressure cooker as grains are just as easy as any pftek out there.
i started with grains and found them to be a lot easier than the messy pftek i tried a year later. peace ohm

LOL, I hear you. While some seem to swear by cakes. I never have done them. The return ratio sucks (imho). I started with WBS & G2G, to bulk substrates, cased (ph adjusted), then never looked back.
Had a few simpleton blunders along the way, but those are the mistakes you learn from.

Thanks for the advice. I do have a nice pressure cooker and grains seems to me as easy as PF tek, so I thought I might as well go that way.
A quick follow on question, I have access to either a ink jet filler syringe, with an accordion style plunger (not too precise) or a cooking style flavor injector syringe, with a really big bore. Actual syringes are not available in my particular jurisdiction. I am leaning towards the ink jet figuring that (assuming proper sterilization) there will less opportunity for contamination than with the oversize needle on the flavor injection.

flame the injector needle w/ an alcohol lamp or even a wind proof lighter till it turns red.

For first grow, I would go print>syringe>brf jars>cakes in a terrarium just to see the lifecycle. Jumping right into casings can be a bit tricky if you're completely new. After those cakes, you can print a few, and then go print>syringe>rye/whatever>case
