for my first grow. Do you suggest wild bird seed or brown rice flower. I want the simplest for my first grow. I am using 1/2 pint jars. On top of this what is a good starting strain. Roadkill offered to give me a free print but that never made it to me, prolly got lost in the mail. So what should i try?

keep it simple your first try, this way you will learn alot to carry over to the other teks. not that wbs couldn't just as easily be done your first time. if you have a pc then give them a shot along with some brf cakes.
good luck

any of them will do just fine. do some searching with the vendors, most of their sites have great descriptions about the diff strains. just find one that is appealing to you and give it a go. good luck

stick w/ the brf tek until you get a pc, then try you hand at wbs... all cube strains are pretty similar, pick one and go for the goal!!

you're using 1/2 pint jars, so i would suggest the good ol' PF tek.
as for strain, im not going to suggest you buy from a specific vendor, but you should check out the cool 6 pages of strains on this vendors site, just to see which one appeals to you most. http://www.spores101.com/psilocybe-spore-strains.html
good luck!

You cant do WBS without a PC so you gotta do the Pf-Tek with BRFlour not flower Stick to the tried an true old school basic strains Get your syringes from Ralph and let him decide what you should start out with BTW you are rated welcome to Shroomery

I did both at the same time my first time and I found WBS to be pretty easy and it colonized way faster too. The WBS will finish way before the BRF does

In my experience, Golden Teacher Colonises under some pretty wack conditions. Its my personal fav. Guess they call it "teacher" for a reason eh?

they aren't illegal to buy spores offline.. unless you live in some states where most dealers won't even send you spores.
what state do you live in?
it's not illegal if you aren't going to grow them.. your spores are for mycoscopy.

You can mail a money order or cash also. Ralphster is very reliable with that. I'm sure that the other sponsored vendors are too, but I've never mailed payment to any others. Besides, like PSIneWave said, spores are legal to purchase. Cultivating them is what can get you in trouble.
