First grow Q's

I've been researching the idea of growing mushrooms for about a week and a half now, reading shroomery.org daily, etc. The other day I even went out and bought vermiculute, perlite, a cheap walmart hygrometer/thermometer, organic BRF, and canning jars. I was so excited I mixed the verm and BRF up for 12 half-pint jars (6 cups verm, 3 cups BRF) and am waiting until I get my spores to add the other 3 cups of water.
My plan was to inoculate 12 BRF cakes, then crumble them up and case them into 6 foil pans with 50/50 mix, then harvest and chow down.
But I just heard that BRF cakes are the weakest out. I have found that whenever I've eaten mushrooms other people have given me, I haven't tripped very hard at all... so I want to make something that won't leave me feeling like I need more. I want something that'll give me a solid trip off 2g. I'm sick of weak trips, I usually split 3.5g with a friend, and it's bs.
Keeping in mind that this is my first grow, what should I do? I've been searching shroomery and haven't found a definition of spawn, I think that'd really help.

If you really feel up to it, go with rye grain, or wild bird seed, then spawn to horsepoop, or case directly 50/50.
The horse poop will really give those shrooms a nice bang! Splifner180 just successfully did a wbs->hpoo->50/50 with great success on his first cultivation attempt! If you really feel you're ready, I'd do some sort of grain tek... The only problem (which most noobs cry about constantly) is you have to have a pressure cooker that can reach 15psi. I suggest at least a 6pint pressure cooker be your FIRST purchase in this hobby. I tried pftek once, then said fuck it, with a PC I can garauntee sterility and do grains. So now here I am, in the middle of my first lc to grain to casing after doing rice cakes for a year. I have 2 casings in the incubator right now recovering, and about 20 jars of wbs and wbs/verm and a crazy grain substrate that I'm playing around with.
Anyways, if you're going to do it, go all the way, get the PC and follow the teks CLOSELY.
It's a great hobby and a lot of fun.

Brf cakes are more or less potent than any other, by a little tiny bit.
I wouldnt be to concerned about the potency of your mushrooms.
You can use the laziest of the laziest methods and still get very tripped out from 2 grams of your grow. I have never grown or bought a mushroom that was not very potent. When I grow I use the brf/vermiculite mix. It easy, and even when just fuiting the cakes they spout out some serious weight in shrooms, and are very potent(VERY). More potent than most others I have tried.
Shrooms grown from BRF are not any more or less weak. Infact, they can be the best of the best although im sure that has a bit to do with what the specific strain prefers. Still, it doesnt really make a difference regardless.
BRF is what you should do. You can find the laziest BRF method, and as long as you have some brains you can make it work very well.
You CANT grow bunk shrooms. Atrophy helps them become more potent if anything.

I think you should just eat like an ounce of whatever it is you're growing.

It can only vary so much. If you eat even 10 grams of ANY SINGLE BATCH AND STRAIN, you will have a very strong trip. To the point where 5 grams could have taken you VERY far.
SO ya, like ya, like eat an oz. That would be a good idea.
Listen............cub shrooms are pretty potent. If you have a fruit you have a potent shroom. End of story. SHrooms dont just end up to be "not potent". If you really have a problem with your own mushrooms, then eat more.
Better yet, dry them to a crisp. You wont grow shrooms that are "not potent enough". Thats just not a part of the deal. Thats why growing shrooms is such a "good deal".......

I was joking, Stemmer. I thought it would be obvious that an ounce would be too much for anyone to consume, if they weigh less than 500 lbs. I'm only suggesting that he eat more shrooms than he has. I appologize for the confusion.
