BRF or Grains?

Well, finals are over and the summer has just begun. My personal supply is at an all time low and I found "free organic composted Hpoo" in the classified ads last week . Time to start a new grow!
In the past Ive had 3 100% successful attempts at colonizing PF style jars and 1 unsuccessful grain style jars. I know my grains failed because I was in a rush and neglected to drain my seed thoroughly. My BRF has always worked above average, fully colonized in 3-4 weeks.
My question is... I'm live in MT and will be on a 3 week hiatus beginning June 12th (leaving for Bonnaroo!). So I was planning on starting this grow right before I left in hopes of returning to finished or near finished colonizing jars. I have bulk stock of both WBS and BRF/Verm so which should I use? Are grains still better if I'm not here to shake them? Whichever I choose to use will be spawned to Poo.

Do them both, so you wont totally fail for sure... coz grain sometime can be tricky...and should be shaken from time to time... anyway good luck and enjoy... BTW: add some verm into the WBS jars, it helps allot with the water at the bottom..

Good advice, of course do both! I just happen to have an extra sub. heater so perhaps I'll do ALOT of both. And I will try some verm in the bottom of the WBS.

BRF and vermiculite has worked for me 100 %
No waisted cakes. Maybe thats because I use only cakes(provides more than enough for me and a few friends) and you have to really fuck something up in order to not have 100% success. inoculate in a sterile environment with no breeze, and dont breath on the inoculation sites. I bought spores once, and for years the BRF method worked like a charm only using the mycelium from previous batches. After about 100-120 cakes, 2 did grow mold within the jar. God knows why. We still just cut of and burned the sites that had mold, and they still grew very well. When using cakes, id just suggest the BRF tek. Its a sure thing. Burn the tip of the needle before inoculation(red hot), let it cool a bit, and your good to go. My years long experiment might be skewed because we used fast growing strains, and some strains that were even what some have called "resistant to contamination".
Only people I know who fuck up the growing process have either been totally out of their element as far as the science goes, or they used woods/grains/or even other more potent species..........

Grains are much easier for spawning to poo. Just don't rush things through this time.

I prefer the no poo methods. BRF method has alot of potential when using only cakes. Cakes are just so damn easy. The shrooms are potent as hell as usual. I just cant see a reason for using any other method unless I wanted to sell drugs.

Bonnaroo, Hell yeah! I'll see all of you there!
Sorry about the threadjack, um... lets see...
Go with what works and do some wbs as well. Mix the verm in with the wbs, don't just put it on the bottom, well that too.
Bonnaroo, for the fourth time!!!
