cultivation questions

Hi, I'm a bit of a newb at growing my own mushrooms and I have a couple questions. First is, how many spores do I need? I'm looking at www.ralphstersspores.com and having trouble deciding on which one(s) to get. And the second question is how do I store the spores? In the fridge? Last but not least what is the easiest Tek for a noobie? Thanks a lot.
Peacefulness.

1-2cc from a spore syringe per jar on the PF tek.

Start out with the PF Tek (Brown Rice Flour/Vermiculite cakes). Follow one of the tek's in the mushroom cultivation section. For a first grow, I recommend B+ or Golden Teacher's (got mine from Ralphster as well). I stored a couple syringes in a box in my closet for like 6 months and they were still good. Store them in a cool, dark place and you'll be fine.

Personally, I think grain to straw is the easiest, but it requires a PC.
Without a PC, the only option is PF. (are there others besides PF variants?)
If you have a PC, or are willing to spend 40-80 dollars, skip the PF stuff. For the time involved, grain to bulk produces WAY more shrooms.
I would recommend an easy strain such as B+ to start. Don't concern yourself with "potency issues", they're all about the same, the grow parameters will have everything to do with potency.
I would also recommend reading a lot here BEFORE you decide on how to grow. I don't have questions much any more, but I constaintly had questions the first 4 months. Most of the answers can be found using the search function, but someone here will usually be glad to help out if you're having problems. I'm not saying wait that long, but make reading your hobby for the next week or two and you'll be much better prepared to do a successful grow.

^^^I agree.
If this is a one time thing then maybe the PF tek is good.
But if your going to do this a few time, then a PC is the first thing you need to get. Until then you can still get ready the stuff you need.
I would go with WBS>>Hopp>>50%50
And you should start looking in to LC.
Now if a term or something that your not aware of search it out.
